THE CHICAGO MARKETS

A CATTLE MARKET LETTER
For some time past The Herald
has been giving Its reader a South
Omaha market report. More of our
readers are Interested In the South
Omaha market than any other, but
believing that muny will be Interest
ed In a resume of the preceding
we-ik's business at Chicago, WV have
arranged for a weekly letter from
the well known commission firm of
Clay, Robinson & Co. Tlu letter re
ceived this week contains seme In
formation about the h.g ami hp
market, but as most of our readers
are not particularly interested i n
that, we publish only the art of the
letter relating ty the cattle .lurket:
Chicago. July 8. 1912.
Receipts of cattle today were 19,

to 15 cents decline. As computed
with two weeks ago. Steers of $7.00
to $7.50 value showed 50 to 75
cents loss, and as compared with
the recent best time of the season,
those of value at $7.5o down were
Sl.u0 to $1.25 lower. Tin- prime rea
sons ror prices for such classes of
natives.
Five loads of fancy bevog, aver
aging aiound 1,500 lb , sold up to
$9. TO. as bilfh as cattle have been
on this market since H7o. and stood
against the same figure here las
v. luetday. There was a smaller
showing of sales above $9.00 and a
larger number under $7.00 than for
some tune, although the great bulk
of the day's business was at a range
or from $7.oo to $9.00.
('ow mid heifers were steady with

fit than Wednesday. Bulk of beef
grades sold at $5.75 to $.75. snook

sale. with Mockers largely at $475
to $5 2. and most feeders at $6 25

less desirable grades can be confl

to steer and she stock.
Oood quality one-half fat steers
should, we believe, be fed corn on
si-swa for at least 60 to ! days
longer, ir corn Is available. These
cattle cannot be replaced in the

la our opinion that good rat heavy
cattle will continue to sell nign tor

FIGHTING THE
CUCURBIT PESTS
Three Methods Which Have
Bee Us 3 J With Success.
BEETLE IS MOST DESTRUCTIVE
Probably no other group or vegeta
ble crops in common cultivation i.
more subject to serious Injury by in
sect pests than the cucurbits, that is
the cucumbers, melons, squashes and
allied plants. Several or these pests
are so Injurious that unless control
nv-asures are used against them the
crop is likely to be seriously reduced
or the plants killed outright. Anion
the more Important of these are sev
oral .specifs of leaf -beetles, known as
the cucumber beetles. In the eastern
United States decidedly the most lm
portant of th"Se Is the common and
destructive s'.tlped cucumber beetle
while next in Importance is the
twelve-spotted cucumber beetle. Both
or these arc represented in the west
em United States by closely related
species of similar habits. The prln
tipal injury done by the cucumber
beetles Is In devouring the leaves and
blossoms and gnawing at the stems
ot the plants, especially when the
young, tender plants are attacked at
their very first appearance above
ground hy the beetles which have win
lered over. 1,-Uer, after the eggs have
been deposited, the larva of the
Etrlped species feeds upon the roote
and underground stems of the cucur
hit plants .in 1 thereby does much In
jury, net only in the consumption and
mutilation of the roots, but by weak
cning the plant so as to cause a wilt
ing of the hnves, a snapping off ol
the nearly severed vines In a higb
wind, and a failure to develop first
class fruit.
In flighting the cucumber beetle a
method which has been used on cu
cumbers and melons with considera
b'.e success Is to dust the plants heav
My with thoroughly air slaked lime
leaving neve and there a plant which
Is undtisted, but instead is thoroughly
sprayed with paris green at the ratf
Of one-fourth pound to fifty gallons ol
water. The dusty lime drives, the bee
ties to concentrate upon these pol
soned plants, and If they eat of them
they will he poisoned and killed, but
t3uallv not until they have more ot
less seriousl damaged them. Sifted
wood ashes and refuse tobacco dust
are also fairlv efficient In driving the
beetles. Sulphur also has been used
for this purpose, but it Is likely-' to In
lure the plant when used alone
though it may be mixed with air
slaked lime if desired.
Another method especially appllca
hie in the case of squash Is the pro
tectlon of th regular crop by trar
crops. It Is recommended that a trar
crop bfi !' In. about the edge of the
regului crop, if the field is small. Ot
between the hills of every other row
If the field Is more extensive, severa'
days before the regular crop. This If
so be renewed at the same time that
the regular crop is planted and agair
renewed several days later. The regu
lar crop should be sprayed very earl
with arsenate of lead at the rate ot
three pounds to fifty gallons of water
and as the plants begin to run should
bo re-spray"d with arsenate of lead
or. If fut us troubles are prevalent
with 1 1 1 in mixture (3 4 50 form
uia), to vklek the same proportion ol
arsenate lead has been added. Ar
i r te c. ;?ad Is not Injurious to the
foliage of (. .lcurb'.ts, and, being one ol
the mr ffoetlve repellents of these
beetles I nown. may satisfactorily be
used alone as a protective measure
without a trap crop, as strong as fire
pounds to fifty gallons of water.
When these beetles are exceedingly
bad. however, these methods at times
fail to afford protection to the plant;
and the expedient of covering them
must be resorted to. These covers
are placed over the voting plants earl
in the season and the beetles thereby
;.c rnianently excluded. It is unneces
s.iry to t'se expensive patented covers
A practical cover may be made by ae
curing small mesh, yatd wide wirt
hcreenlns and cutting it into pieces
one yard lona. Cut a circular piece
with a tliani'ter of thirty-six inches
from this bv cu'ting off the corners
;'!ii then cut 'his exactly In two. Jolr
the cut edges of each semi-circle by
drawing them together and fo'dlnj
them ever, hammering them dowr
firmly, thus forming two good wire
covers from each square yard or wire
which will be Mrsfttl for several sea
sons. Another effic ent, but less easl
ly made and less durable cover, may
be const i 1 tJ by cutting a wooden
barrel In J in two so as to form twe
half c Ire It, which are then nailed to
gether at right angles to each othei
tnd the ends Inserted in the ground
. ue frame thus formed Is covered wltt
mosquito netting or other gause and
the edges are packed with dirt to pre
vent the beetles working under. Thb
method of covering, while rather la
borloits, is about the only entirely ef
fectlve means of preventing injury b
these beetles, and- many niarket gar,
.tenets use them with profit.
A these beetles attack the youn,
nicurbit plants almost immediately
upou their appearaix e above ground
It Is advisable to plant an excess o'
seed, so as in distribute the Injury am
allow for iti- plants which may n
killed by tr beetles They ran latei
i thtgns4 out If desirable The vine
should be kept stimulated by heav.
manuring and careful, l-equcnt CllUi
vstlor. As con as the crop Is har
vested the vines should h gathered
together and l urntd with as little dis
turbant as may be, so as to destro
as many or th beetles as possible am
thus reduce the Infestation of the next
season.
About the time the plants are large
enough to send out runners they are
likely to be attacked by another for
mlilnble insect pest. In the form of a
small aphis, or louse plant. These
sphids collect on the under side of the
leaves of the affected plants and by
vlrtit" or their prodigous powers or In
crase soon produce enormous num
bers of Individuals, all sucking the
sap and thereby causing the leaves tn
curl, shlvel, discolor and die. In case
of severe Infestation and under nor
mal conditions any Infestation at all
loon becomes a severe one, the entire
:eaf surface of the plant Is simultane
usly attacked and In a very few days
the vim wilts and dies down. Whole
fields are thus frequently destroyed
within a week. Cucumbers are mop'
ausceptlble to early Injury from this
pest than are melons. In fighting the
melon aphis successfully a great deal

CULTIVATION
OF CORN FIELDS
Nebraska Experiment Station
Conducting Series ol Tests.
MANY FARMERS WASTE TIME.
I NEW DARKEY MUSIC BY
THE NASHVILLE SERENAOERS
and Yet There is a Retaining of the
Sweet Melodies of the Old South.
By Prof. p. H Flarker, Agricultural
College, University of Nebraska.
it is 6ertafnly a great privilege to
tour through a rich farming country
during the arly portion of the grow
ing seasons of good crop years w h. n
the fields are tn their height of glory.
This is especially true during the
nvitith of June, before the small grains
are harvest "d and when ail the fields
re occupied, by crops of one kind or
or anot.ter. Many farmers are prac
ticing system.s of crop rotation and
consequently have fields of several
.lifferen kinds, such as corn, wheat,
oats, alfalfa and c lover What a pleas
ure co view such latins from some
high hill. Is it any wonder that th
townspeople mortgage their homes for
lutomobiles for the purpose of tonr
iug among these beautiful fields at
times of leisure?
Thse are very busy times, however,
for the average eastern Nebraska
farmer. All fields must receive proper
and timely attention Tor nest results.
At this writing, for instance, the time
for harvesting the small grains is rap
Idly appro :cMng, the alfalfa will soou
le ready for the second cutting, an
the cornfields must be cultivated co
atantly in order to prevent the growt
of weeds gn j to keep the soil in gooiv
growing condition.
The hest rarmers cultivate their
cornfields three or four times before
ihey are "laid by," but the re are man
6e'cjs wnlch are neglected to some e
tnt at least, In order to care for t
small grains, ilfalfa, etc. The profl
from this source ate, therefore, apt
The Nashville Serenaders Is the
opening musical attraction on our
Chautauqua this summer.
The old southern darkey melodlea
tave always been popular. There have
been jubilee singers on the Chautau
qua platform almost since there was a
Chautauqua. "hey sang plantation
melodies and Bongs of the old arkey
camp-meeting.
And although there was much in tba
tachment. and a Vermoral noixle at I e It?9s f '' they would have been ha
tached to this end will be quite satis
factory. The most satisfactory washes
for the melon aphis are the tobacco
washes. Black leaf diluted one part
to fifty parts of water is very easy to
prepare and apply, and destroys all
of the aphids with which it comes in
contact. Satisfactory results may
also be obtained hy using a soap-and
tobacco wash, prepared by dissolving
one and one half pounds of soap in
onehair aallon of water, adding one
half gallon Of strong tobacco decoc
tion and diluting to make five gallons
of the waah. The tobacco decoction
is made by steeping tobacco stems
in water until the decoction becomes
.he color of strong coffee. These to
bacco washes do not Injure the tender
cucurbit foliage, at least to a serious
extent, and both will kill the aphid
that they come in contact with, but
the black leaf seems to he consider
ably the cheaper or the two.
Another cucurbit pest especially In
jurious to the squash and pumpkin is
the squash vine boier. Injury by this
Insect is made manirest by a sudden
wilting and dying down of the leaves
which, ir unchecked, is likely to In
volve and destroy the greater part of
the plant and prevent the maturing of
rrult. If the bases of the affected
slems are examined, one to severa!
quite gnih-like caterpillars will be
.found boring within the stem. Arter
becoming full grown these borers
leave the stems and enter the so l for
:n Inch or two, where they fo m co
coons. After the lKrers have t Ined
entrance to the vines In this n - :ner
about the only relief to be had Is by
rutting them out with a sharp knife
The borer is located by the accumu
'ation of yellow dust at the point
they received more attention at th
proper time, flood farmers have been
heard to say that they could afford tt
pay fS per day for a man and team to
cultivate corn at certain periods dur
ing the growing season. The truth of
this statement depends upon the farm
er's ability to recognize the conditions
of the surfpee soil when cultivation is
most needed. The writer has seen
rarmers engaged In cultivating the
corn when they were doing the corn
no good: that Is to say, they were ab
solutely wasting their time. A rew
instances have been noted where tha
cultivations were not only valueless,
but very harmful to the crop. The
advice to keep the cultivators going
regardless or conditions Is very poor
advice. It would be better to note
carefully the conditions or the corn
fields and cultivate only when they
are in need of such treatments. If
the cornfields are free from weeds
and the surface soils are loose and in
good tilth, there can be no need of
cultivation, but on the other hand, if
the rains have packed the surface and
the weds are beginning to show
themselves, a good cultivation Is very
valuable.
Does It pay to cultivate the corn
arter It is laid by?
In 1909 the Nebraska Experiment
station began a series of experiments
to ascertain the effects of shallow sur
face cultivation In cornfields after
iB are "laid by." A certain field
was selertd and divided into four
qual portions. Two alternating por
tions were well tilled and the other
two were not tilled after the entire field
was laid bv on the 20th day of July.
Kach of the tilled portions received
lour shallow cultivations after the en
ttf aH rsW
W atfariHBatokBBBal
where U ZHe at ! t.r. These four
this point Is cut lengthwise and the
borer removed. The vund Is then
covered with earth and usually heals
over and allows the vine to recover.
Injury by the squash vine borer
during the following season may be
largely prevented by cultivating tne
infested fit Ids lightly with a harrow
p the fall and plowing the field deep
ly in the spring, for the purpose of
destroying the cocoons of the insect
Wfeer this pest has two generations
per year it Is also an advantage to
i ollect and burn th vines lmmedl
atelv artei the crop Is gathered. In
cultivations wore about ten days apart
The moisture contents or each or
these tour divisions were determined
every ten days for each of the upper
Ix feet.
Contrary to expectations, there was
no difference In the moisture contents
or tilled and unfilled portions. The
yields too were practically the same
under both conditions.
These experiments are being con
tinued ror several yeara in order to as
certain the results of such treatments
under different climatic conditions.
The above results would have been
different under other conditions. In

music of the southern darkey of a
score of years ago that appealed to
papular audiences because of its na
tive richness, its popularity might soon
have died out.
The jubilee company was first m
novelty and "it took." But there was a
lack of training apparent. And as la
the case In the' presenting of music
from year to year whether at a Chau
tauqua or at any other time, stand
ards must constantly be raised, be
cause tastes are being educated to a
better and better music.
And the old jubilee company's lack
of training failed them.
Now
we have a new jubilee company.
They have been trained. ihe mem
bers of this company were selected
from the largest and strongest negro
schools of the Southland where large
and powerful conservatories have been
built up and the negro has had the
advantage of a reflulng and cultivat
ing influence.
Ralph Dunbar is the organizing
genius at the Ijead or the department
or organization ror the Bed path Ly
ceum Bureau.
He Is the organizer or the Nashville
Serenaders, and their success has been
phenomenal in the presenting of a
new class of darkly music, retaining
the sweet aiHodies -he old South.
In their fen w -e.i p ;agerneut with

company makes t3ti Sunday appear

Even the ld staid East has become

fifty years ago on old Chautauqua
Lake In New York. But It waa
the one Eastern Chautauqua that
amounted to much. It Is the West
that has made the Chautauqua what
it is today. The State of Nebraska
