3 FOOD PRODUCTION
(mulled On M Emit)
The work which the county agents
have done in helping meet the seed
corn emergency has been outstand-
ing. In February it became appor-
ent “that almost all of the available
seed corn in the northern states had
been destroyed by unfavorable wea-
ther. The county agents have work-
ed in cooperation with the State Ex
periment Station. the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural College and the schools in
trying to convince farmers of the
necessity of testing every car of corn
and in demonstrating the methods oi
conducting these tests. County—corn
shows ‘were held in every county with
a large attendance. Seventeen liun
dred and seventeen samples of seed
corn were personally taken by oornty
agents and sent to the Experiment
Station for testing. Through the
farm bureaus over 5,000 bushels of
high testing seed have been sold. To
relieve the situation in the Middle
West six carloads of high grade seed
corn, which brought the farmers of
Connecticut 11 total of $13,964. was
shipped to North Dakota and Wis-
consin. Through every available
agency the farm bureaus have en-
deavored to bring aboutnhe testing
of every lot of corn which has been
intended for seed purpoees.
The work which the farm bureaus
are doing in the western counties to
provide farmers with labor has
contributed substantially to the solu-
tion of the labor problem. In the
five western counties about seventy-
five farm hands a week are bung
placed on farms by the county farm
bureaus. About one-half of this sup-
ply of labor is being recruited by the
farm bureaus themselves. The re-
mainder of it is provided by the fed-
eral and other employment bureaus
of the state.
A complete farm survey has been
secured in five counties under the
county leadership of the county farm
bureaus. Th1s survey has been under
the auspices of the State Council of
Deiense. As a result of this army
1
' a very great increase in the acreage
of small grains. has been revealed
in one county. At the present time
a survey is being made by the farm
bureaus in cooperation with Floyd
Dutfee, the farm machinery special-
ist of the Connecticut Agricultural
in which every thresher.
binder and reaper is being visited. its
condition noted. and the farmer . ad-
vised as to how it can be put into
proper working order. After this
individual work on been done in
the town the people of the town who
are growing small grains are called
together and action is taken to pro-
vide adequate machinery to care for
the harvesting andl‘lhreshing of the
grain to be grown this year if such
machinery, has.._,not otherwise been
provided .for.
While the problem of increasing
Iood production in rural sections is
largely a question of labor and. ma-
terials, in the cities another factor
enters in~tl1at of supplying adequate
,instructlon with regard to the
methods of production. To provide
this instruction the farm bureaus in
the urban counties.‘ Hartford. New
Haven and Fair-field, have put on
assistant county agents, who will co-
operate with the State Manufactur-l
ers’ Association in assisting manufac-
turer's in developing their food pro-
duction programs.
Elijah Rogers representing the
State Manufacturers' Association,i
will have general supervision of the
work, although the assistant county
iagents assigned to this work will be
under the direct supervision of the
county agricultural agents. A cer
tain part of educational wmk which
was being conducted by the farm bu
,reaus when the war broke out is
st‘ll being continued.
W ith a great increase in the pro
.duction of small grains, there has
come a _
the necessity of having high produc-
ing varieties of seed of these grains.
in order to test theseflh‘nd introduce
the most productive varieties of
cats. variety tests are being conduct-
ed by the farm bureaus in ca opera
tion with farmers in each of the
counties »Likcwise
last year on the soy bean as a crop
of Connecticut are being continued
this year to determine the best
‘methods for the production cf the
ubean and the varieties best adapted
to_ our conditions. Both of these
tests are being conducted in coopera-
tion with the Sierra Experiment
Station which furnishes the seed and
“will assist in following up the re
Isults.

Tool yourself thinking there will be
no insects on your crops tfifs year.
We all hope that there won’t be
any. but the fact remains that they
are always with us. Some years they
are more prevalent than others, but
they are always there, waiting for an
opportunity to start wo'rk and when
they get a firm foothold you can be
sure they make the most of it. You
probably realize this fact from past
experience. You can. however. pre-
vent them from damaging your
crops by spra1ing at the preper time
and by using the right kind of poi-
son. '
Owing to present conditions, it is
of the utmost importance that you be
prepared to halt all the attacks
made by insect pests upon your gar-
den crops. Make each seed that you
plant do its proper share toward win- ‘
ning the war. When the seed
germinates and the plant comes up
and during its growing period, watch
over it carefully. prevent its being
destroyed by its insect enemies, from
which it cannot protect itself. You
can do this by spraying. it is your
duty to spray and protect your crops.
making them productive. just as
much as it is your duty to plant the
seed. Each plant you allow to be
destroyed by insects means that the
time and money invested in buying
the seed preparing the soil and in
cultivating has been lost. This may
not seem to be a very large amount
for each individual plant, but when
you consider the combined result for
the whole United States, it is tre-
mendous. An article in one of the
New York papers recently stated that
it is estimated that the loss of crops
from insects during, a year’s time iin
this country was 81,000.000,000—' a
third of the recently closed Liberty
Loan. Do your share to prevent this
enormous loss. Call on your local
dealer today and purchase your sup-
ply of spray materials, such as ar-
senate of lead. bordeaux mixture and
nicotine. sulphate.
Most of the poisons you use will
keep for a long time and if you don't
use them all this year. will be avail-
able for use next year. The point
is. get them now. Keep them where
you can find them and make use of
them when they are needed. While
there will probably be a sufficient
supply of spray material in the state
this year, don't take a chance on your
local dealer running low. Purchase
the. material you think you will need
now and eliminate the. chance ofnot
being able to obtain a supply later
on. Too much emphasis cannot be
laid on the advantages of being
ready and of having the ammunition
for your insect enemies ready and
available at a moment's notice. When
getting your spray material. [don't
overlook the pump with which the
spray is applied: It you have 'a pump.
see that it is in working‘ torditr.’ if
you haven‘t a pump, buy the one
which is most practical and best
adapted to your needs and get,4lt im-
mediately before the supply is ex-
haunted.
With your ammunition (sway ma-
terial) and artillery (pump Jon
hand you can face the coming season
with a fair degree of confidence in
so far as insect pests are concerned.
You are prepared for the attack and
can protect your crops from damage.
Buy your materials and appliancesl
today for spraying. Tomorrow never
comes.
Reducing Cost of Crop Produchon
This is a 18111 when it is necessmy
to make eyery bit of labor or effort
count. or the many conditions to
which the corn crop is subject dur-
ing the growing season. there is per-
haps none more important for a suc-
cessful yield than the matter‘ of
tillage. The manner in which the.
corn is cared for in its early stages
,of growth largely determines wheth-
er corn or weeds will be the bumper
crop at the time bi harvesting 1
Too often the work of cultivation
is delayed until haying time, with the
result that both crops suffer for lack
of proper. intention. if most of the
corn cultivation is done in the first
part of the season, the chances for
a 'good. yield willbe considerably in-
creased. 1
