New Chemical Curbs
Many Fruit Pests
Tests Show Fungicide
Effective in Orchard
Characterized as effective against
a wide range of fruit pests and dis
eases, a new dinitro fungicide and
insecticide for orchard use now is
available commercially under the
trade name of DN-289. It is a stable,
clear solution containing eight
ounces actual dinitro-secbutyl-
phenol in each quart and is readily
miscible with water.
DN-289 has proved effective as an
insecticide for use in the dormant
period against a variety of insects
such as rosy apple aphid, currant
aphid, black cherry aphid, mealy
plum aphid and viburnum aphid,
eye-spotted bud moth, cherry case-
bearer, pear psylla and oyster shell
scale on apple and lilac. Promising
results also have been shown in con
trol of San Jose scale, scurfy scale
and the eggs of the European red
mite.
As a fungicide, DN-289 has been
used successfully for control of sooty
blotch on pears.
Amount of the compound required
to attain good control ranges from

of Poultry -
evelopment
of tomorrow must be
erchandisers as well as
rs if they are to compete suc
cessfully with the new ‘‘broiler fac
tories." Progressive poultry raisers
must keep attuned to the times if
they are to meet the challenge of
new developments in the industry.
Within a short time the consumer
will have a wide range of selection
for poultry and meat products. This
will necessitate bettpr merchandis
ing on the part "of the individual
poultryman.
One of the principal means of
meeting this challenge is for the
poultry raiser to start selling chick
ens under brand names in an effort
to promote his product for the time
when consumers again will be
“choosy.”
To accomplish this, good packag
ing is essential. Modem transparent
Good packaging, as demon
strated by this cellophane-wrapped'
chicken, is good advertising.
packaging of ready-to-eat poultry
will increase sales and profits.
Tests conducted with the same
grade of poultry, half being sealed
in flexible packages, the others with
out covering, proved that demand
for the packaged birds was one to
three times as large as for the un
wrapped ones.
For packaging, cellophane, trans
parent regenerated cellulose film or a
rubber hydrochloride film are avail
able. They are moisture-proof, air
proof, strong, flexible and resistant
to liquid and grease.
Pullets Termed Better
Layers Than Old Hens
Further evidence of the impor
tance of keeping only pullets for
layers and selling all old hens is
contained in tests conducted at
western Kentucky substation.
Average results over 11 years
show that annual production of
Barred Rock pullets was four dozen
eggs per bird greater than that of
hens. In the case of White Leg
horns, pullets laid three dozen eggs
per bird more than old hena.
Checking Equipment
Will Pay Dividends
Tractors Need Regular
Servicing, Adjustment
Periodic checking of tractors and
other farm equipment la a timely
precaution that will prevent serious
delays in the field, assure safer oper
ation of machinery and make farm
work easier.
Increasing the life of vital machine
parts results in more units of useful
production per machine and per
part. This in turn means less cost
per unit produced by the machine.
A machine naturally wears out with
Careful inspection of tractors

ular intervals will increase effi
ciency of the machinery.
use. However, the rate of wear may
be reduced greatly by a skillful
operator who is exacting in his atten
tion to adjustments for wear and for
proper and systematic lubrications.
A tractor in good repair, agricul
tural engineers estimate, can oper
ate on two to three less gallons
of fuel than the tractor with faulty
operation. Adjustments in the car
buretor, governor, timing, mani
fold and valves also will increase the
efficiency.
A careful check will disclose loose
bolts and nuts as well as parts that
need adjusting or replacing, thus
eliminating the chance for costly
breakdowns later. Every repair and
adjustment should be made just as
soon as the need is noted.
Farmers also are advised to equip
their tractors with fire extinguish
ers and to provide secure holders
for grease guns or other servicing
tools carried on the machine. Loose
accessories may cause falls or re
sult in a tragedy.
Hitchhiking Pests
“Hitchhiking” insects, taking ad
vantage of the frequency and speed
of modern airplane flights, offer a
continual threat to areas of the na
tion now free from certain insect
pests. A continual watch must be
kept at airports in infested areas
to assure that “hitchhiking” insects
do not move from one part of the
United States to another or leap
easily across international bounda
ries via the airplane.
Last summer, inspectors of the
bureau of entomology and plant
quarantine intercepted the project
ed flight of thousands of Japanese
beetles trying to hitchhike by air
plane from beetle infested airports
in Washington, Baltimore, Phila
delphia, New York and Newark.
These beetles threatened to move
into beetle free sections of the
United States.
Inspectors closely checked more
than 7.500 airplane flights and su
pervised the application of a thin
film of DDT from aerosols over
hundreds of commercial and mili
tary planes. The beetles’ favorite
food plants in the immediate vicin
ity of the airports were sprayed,
using mist blowers for the job. The
summer’s program was the most
comprehensive ever attempted to
prevent beetle spread, and yielded
the largest number of interceptions
for any season since this type of
control work became necessary.
Production of Citrus
Shows Steady Increase
Production of citrus fruits in the
United States has about doubled
each 10 years of the last 40, a de
partment of agriculture report indi
cates, with prospects that the rec
ord will continue to climb.
California and Florida produce
more than 90 per cent of the
oranges. Florida and Texas account
for 90 per cent of the grapefruit.
Almost the entire commercial crop
of lemons i* grown in California.

Poultry Raisers Seek
Heavier Farm Flocks
Bigger and better drumsticks for
“Junior” are sought in the national
Chicken-of-Tomorro w contest, which
will be extended through 1948. The
decision to continue the event was
made in response to demand from
poultry raisers from coast-to-coast.
Unlike popular reducing fads

parts, this barnyard project is' de

eaters more for their money. Poul-
trymen from all parts of the coun
try are joining in the hunt for a
breeding formula which will add at
least 10 per cent more meat to the
present-day chicken. A higher per
centage of meat on the bone
structure and even meatier wings
are sought, thus assuring “Junior”
that no longer will only a skimpy ap
pendage be left as his lot when the
dinner platter arrives at his lowly
place.
The industry-wide' educational
breeding contest originally was set
up on a three-year basis, with two
yeafs of state and regional contests
culminating in a grand national
championship this spring in Dela
ware. Forty top breeders throughout
the nation will send eggs to the
finals, where they will be hatched
and raised under identical conditions
under supervision of the depart
ment of agriculture. Winners will re
ceive $7,000 in prizes awarded by
A & P stores, sponsors of the con
test.
Expensive Alarm
Why keep a rooster when an alarm
clock is cheaper?
That question is posed by Boyd A
Ivory, Wyoming agricultural exten
sion service poultry specialist. A
rooster. Ivory points out, eats about
$5 worth of feed a year at current
prices. All you get in return, he in
sists, is a lot of crowing—accom
panied by NO eggs!
A rooster is worthless in a poultry
flock unless he is being used for
breeding purposes in supplying fer
tile eggs for hatcheries or home in
cubation.
Hens won't lay any more eggs than
they are laying just because a roost
er is on the premises, so why not
sell that “crowing so-and-so”?
Trade him for a $1.93 alarm clock
that tells the time of day for the
entire 24 hours and you’ll save about
$3 in feed costs on the swap!
Quality Chicks Needed
To Offset Feed Costs
One method through which poul-
trymen can combat the present
high cost of feed is to purchase
good quality chicks. Feed costs,
records compiled by the extension
service indicate, now amount to 60
per cent or more of the total costs
of producing eggs and chicken
meat in contrast to 50 per cent in
normal times.
Tree 'Butchery' Blamed
On Untrained Pruners
It often takes 50 to 75 years to
raise a good shade tree. But, exten
sion foresters insist, it takes only a
few minutes for an untrained
pruner to ruin its beauty. Poor trim
ming technique is destroying the
beauty of many streets.
Examples of good pruning are
seen on most public building
grounds. On the other hand, on al
most any street examples cf tree
“butchery” can be seen.
