The HOME BANK AND TRUST 00, MANY CO1TN PESTS Entomologist Describes an All-Year, Anti-Insect System Designed to Protect This Crop Cotton has as many insect enemies as any other American crop, and pos sibly more, according to an entomolo gist of the United States Department of Agriculture, who declares that an all-year anti-insect system must be employed by cotton growers. to pro tect this crop. The boll weevil, bollworm, cutworm, May beetle, cotton aphis, southern grass worm, leaf worm, grasshopper, red spider, square borer, cotton stain er and wireworm are only a section of the category which W. Dwight Pierce, of the Bureau of Entomology, de scribes in a recent publication, Farm ers' Bulletin 890, "How Insects affect the Cotton Plant and Means of Com bating Them." The entomologist ex plains that in a publication of the size of a Farmers' Bulletin it is impossible to consider even briefly all the cotton pests. The aim of the publication mention ed is to explain how insects affect the cotton plant, to show how to distin guish the principal ones, and how to combat them. Among cther conclusions which the entomologist reaches in, studying con trol measures for cotton pests are these: Control Measures Since many posts come to cotton from other corps oi- from weeds around the fields, weeds should not be allowed to grow on the cotton farm. Rotation of crops is of much assist ance in controlling pests. An early crop which will bring the fruit to maturity before serious dam age is (lone is necessary. Poisons rarely are needed except as used in baits for cutworms, grasshop pers, (tc., and as control measures against red rpiders and worms when they threaten the crop in the spring. Thorough fall plowing, winter cover crops, early spring preparation, and reheated cultivation (luring the season are other important measures of in sect coetrol. A single system of control, effec tive against most of the insects de scribed in the publication may be giv en according to season as follows: How to CombatCotton Insects in Fall (1.) Pick the cotton as soon as pos sible (2'. Destroy the plants as long be fore frost as possible by plowing un der or grra".;ng. (3) Where practicable, plow th( fields and plant a cover crop.

About 200 board feet of wood is used in the actual construction of the average airplane. To obtain this material it is ordinarily necessary to work over about 1,500 feet of select lumber, which often represents all that can be used for airplanes of 15, 000 board feet of standing timber. According to one of the German forestry journals, the Kaiser, in 1908, killed 1,995 pieces of wild game, in cluding 70 stags, elk and roebuck. At that time he had slaugntered a total of 61,730 pieces of game, more than 4,000 of which were stags, and was the leading exterminator of wild life in the world. As a staughterer of men, women and children since 1914, however, he has been the foremost ex terminator of human life in all his tory.
