(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) It will not bo long before the owner of a common mongrel flock will apolo gize for its existence. Tills is the opin ion of the poultry-extension worker of the United States department of agri culture who Is n leader In the cam paign for more nnd better poultry on farms In south and southwestern Ar kansas. In many parts of Arkansas the Importance of better poultry and more efllcleut management Is being recognized by progressive business men, commercial organizations, bank ers and others and they are active In their moral and financial support in co-operating with the government and state extension forces In their efforts to convince the fanner that standard bred poultry properly managed Is n paying Industry nnd that the old barnyard mougrel hen must get out of the way for standard-bred, uniform flocks. ' The county agent of Drew county has placed CO pens of one, male and four fenmles each of pure-bred Bar red Plymouth Rock and Rhode Islnnd Reds on 50 farms, In chnrge of a boy nnd girl poultry-club member. The Monticello Chamber of Commerce and the banks of Monticello have advances the money to purchase these pure bred fowls nnd have assisted In their distribution. In addition to the f0 pens of chickens, over 100 sittings of pure-bred hatching eggs have been secured foi the club boys nnd girls.

CAPABLE OF GREAT DAMAGE Insect Feeds Chiefly on Wheat Plant and In Smaller Measure on Darley and Rye Straws Break and Fall Beforo the Harvest. (Prepared by tlio United StateB Depart ment of Agriculture) Knowledge In possession of experts of the United States department or agriculture leads to the belief that the Ilesslan fly, the worst enemy of wheat, has begun gradually to increase. The percentage of Infcstntlon, according to the fall count, showed n distinct In crease over thnt of last year. The principal controlling pnrasltes are ap parently absent or very scarce, par ticularly In the middle West. An other outbreak of the pest Is expect ed, perhaps within the next few months. The accompanying Illustra tion, which Is being distributed by tho department as n poster, presents the mcnn of combating it. Among Insect crop pests In the United Spates, the Hessian fly stands first tn ovll reputntlon and possibili ties. In bad years, hundreds of thou sands of acres of wheat may bo totnlly destroyed or tho yield reduced as much as 75 per cent by this parasite. Named for Mercenaries. Tho Ilesslan fly Is not a natlvo of America and nobody knows whence It came or how. , It was noticed In 1770 on Long l Island. N. Y., In the vicinity of the place where Lord Ilowe's army, largely Ilesslan mer cenaries, had camped three years be fore. The popular belief was that the Hessians had brought the Insect over In tho straw used by them ns bedding on board ships. Thus cnine tho name and tlmt guess Is as good as any as to now mo ny goi neru, All thnt can bo authoritatively said is that it arrived from sonre trnnsntlan tie country some time after tho middle of the eighteenth century. Tho Ilesslan fly Is one-tenth of an Inch long, of an obscure dark color, find appears much like a very small mosquito. It lays a glossy red egg DneJflftleth of an inch Ions, from which Is hatched u maggot slightly smaller linn the egg.

Here are four forms so extremely unlike as to be confusing to any except the expert entomologist. The fly usually deposits Its eggs in prooves on the underside of the leaves of wheat. The larva, shortly after hatching, mnkes Its way down the '.eitf and behind tho sheath, contlnultr: In young whent to the roots of the plant. In oliKr wheat It Is able to gu nnly to the Joint below. Larvae itr frequently so numerous as to bo pack ed one against another and overlap ping. Two generations a year are pi educed. Overwintering Is accom plished In the flnv.-eed stage. Destructive to Wheat. , Tho Hessian fly feeds chiefly on the j wheat plant, nnd In a smaller measure on barley and rye. Tho oat plan! i Immune. The effect Is that If lnfot:i tion begins while the wheat Is youi -r. the plant grows without stem and he comes a mere mass of overgrev n leaves.

Ornlu saving last year filled 11,000,- 0CK' two-bushel sacks with wheat which otherwise would have been wasted in straw stacks or ovojj fields. To In or.ase this conservation record this year and to facilitate more efficient operation of thrashing machines, tho United States department of agricul ture. In co-operation with the directors' of extension work In state agricultural colleges, will conduct schools of three and four days for thrashermen. In struction will include studies of tho proper operation, adjustment, repair nnd maintenance of separators nnd gns and steam engines. Approximately 250,000 thrashing machines arc In the United States. Many owners are not thoroughly cape- rienced In their management and re pair. All aro expected to be benefited Reduce the Waote of Grain at Thrash ing Time. If they attend tho thrashcrmcn's school In their localities. Every thrasherinan who Is Interested In sav ing grain, reducing Idle time when his machine Is out of commission, and lengthening the active service of his separator, should attend a thrasher ir.an's school whore he will be taught the when, why, where, and how to operate a thrashing outfit nnd keeping It In tho pink of working condition. The purpose Is primarily to improve thrashing conditions. Instruction will ,ve ipei er tho theory of tho separator, tho ration, care and adjustment of tho machine, nnd sufficient laboratory work to give students skill In adjust ing and operating. It Is contemplated to hold schools Immediately ufter or prior to tho one-day grain standardiza tion schools, directed by the federal department's bureau of markets. Necessity for practical education of American thrashennen was brought ut strikingly by results in Minnesota last year recording tho normal wnsto f grain In thrashing. Comprehensive tests, which included the work of tho more than 0,500 machines In the fio pher state, showed that the averago avoidable loss In thrashing wheat was 1.00 bushels a day, worth iwprnxlmiitp ly ?0.fl4; while the avoidable loss In brushing onts was 0,1 busnels dally, worth then .$.r.10. Some of the sepa rators wasted as much ns 50 bushels of wheat a day, worth, on the bnsla af the October market, .$103. Twenty-five per cent of all the machines tested In Minnesota showed an avoidable loss, dile to the machines being out of repair or Improperly adjusted, of 15 husliols a day. Therefore, Minnesota today Is a stanch advocate of teach ing thrnsheniien the three It's run ning, repairing and readjusting their thrashing out (Its. 50-O-C- EXPERIENCE OF OWNERS (Prepared by tho United States Do purtmvnt of Agriculture.)

MILK STRAINING IMPORTANT Utensils and Strainer Cloths Shoutc" Be Thoroughly Washed and Then Sterilized, (Prepared by tho United Stntcs Depart. mcnt of Agriculture.) Strainer cloths containing .15.000,000 bai'terla per square Inch have been found In use on dairy farms. The average strainer cloth, of which about 30 square Inches is in contact with the milk. Is likely to contain fully a billion bacteria If It Is not washed and sterilized after each milking. If the cloth Is folded, the number of bacteria Is likely to be still greater. Milk produced under conditions whero utensils were not sterile was found (o contain more than 000,000 Imctetm per cubic centimeter. When nil utensils were sterilized, tbe average bacterial count was only about 01,000 per cubic centimeter or less than one-twentieth us many. Bacteria In milk are not necessarily Injurious to health, but they reduce Its keeping quality., Certain kinds of bac teria, If too numerous, also affect Its palatablllty. Far the production of clean milk the department of agricul ture urges strict sanitation In every dairy operation. Utensils nnd strainer cloths should be thoroughly washed with warm water and washing powder, then rinsed In clean water nnd ster ilized by boiling or steaming for five minutes. After Rterlllzutlon, tho utensils.
