P. N. Annand. bureau of eniomology and plant qu*ar;int,ine. United States Department ftf Agriculture. No one now knows what the weather will be a few months fnftn now. Itecent surveys by entomologists of the department and the various states concerned show that large numbers of chinch bugs, are hidden away for the winter in clump-forming grasses and other protected spots in many pnrts of the Middle West. A spring and summer unfavorable to the bugs might keep them from doing much damage. -Weather favorable to them, however. jjiichf mean serious crop losses!

In the greenhouse, the sowing of seed and the transplanting of young seedlings may be done most efficiently and conveniently and the cold frame Is used to acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions before they are set Into the field. A greenhouse has many advantages oVer the various other types of hotbeds. The operator has a more comfortable place to work and operations can progress without interruption even during stormy weather. Heat, moisture and ventilation may be easily con trolled and there is less danger of the plants being injured by frost. The house is economical to operate as heat furnished by a heating system is leta costly than hear supplied by manure. Lean-to greenhouses are popular In many sections and are not difficult to erect with sash or with sash bars. This type of greenhouse is usually built on the south side of a building to protect It from the cold north and »Wt wind*,. " '• : ----- Simple and Economical Way Described by an Expert in Engineering;.-- ;f|jrS E. W. Lchmanii, He Ad O«0t. "of Arrlcvltural Engineering, L'nlvsrtlty of * IIMnot*--WJW Service. By applying labor and power equal to that needed for one plowing, many farmers van.halt erosion which 1s now costing them millions of dollars In loss of fertUity, the was'hlng away of valuable top soli and the slow destruction of their farms. This estimate applies to*the terracing of fields with moderate slopes and In good conditio a. Steeper slopes, gullies and other conditions naturally ..ill Increase the amount of labor >and power needed for terracing. The actual amount of' cash needed for terracing depeads upon how muc>i of the labor and power" Is furnished by the farmer. Five farmers reported an average"" cttSTW'$2 an acre, one indicated that the cost was $3 and 17 replied that their terraces had cost nothing, since they did their own work with homemade or borrowed equipment and teams. Where the field has only a moderate slope and is free of bad gullies, rocks, stumps and depressions, terraces 15 inches high and 20 feet wide may be constructed at a cost of about "$1.50 an acre, according to United States Department of Agriculture, the cost may run as friirh .as $15 an acre not counting the cost of outlets. Variation in the slope is one of the biggest factors In the cost of terracing on good land. Where Ihe slope averages only 3 per cent the land can be adequately protected by about $00 feet of terraces, luit a" 6 per cent siop€ will call for about 450 feet of terraces to the acre. " 'Other factors entering into the cost include the kind of soil, type of machinery and power used, condition of the field as to stumps and gullies," prevalence of brush and the experience of the operator. However, terraces. like fences, may be considered a necessary evil on most farms. Fences protect the crops from live stock and terraces protect the soil from er&sion. Even though a farm might t>e worth only $10 an acre, the owner would be justified in spending considerable time and effort as well as some cash In terracing it, If the terraces would conserve "the farm and make It possible for hlih to continue growing crops on the land. Terraces may not be justified on badly-gullied land except to protect building sites or roadways. f S (Waditncton Port) Capacity of Horse's Stomach The average capacity of a horse's stoma* h is from 15 to 18 liters <yr tlirgg to four gallons, according to an authority In the Montreal Herald. T1ie*e figures were obtained from a very large number of observations and give the extreme size of stomach when dis tended. However, the organ is nnrter the best physical condition for diges tlon when it is about two-thirds full. That is, when it contains from two to two at>d a half gallons of material. The above information does not neces sarily mean that this quantity of ma • terial should be taken by a horse at any single meal, for the stomach Is »ot usually completely emptied from one feeding to the next. > Woodlot Made Productive, Paying Perpetual Profit Farmers may not be Interested In perpetual motion, but they are Interested in perpetual profit, says Robert B. Parmenter, extension forester at Massachusetts State college. By practicing stand improvement, wood lot owners can get money perpetually. Parmenter pointed out several surefire methods of making the wood lot pay. First, by using horse sense when cutting the winter's supply of fuelwood. Second, by logging wtth ao eye for preserving the stand and by leaving something for another year. Third, by making the trees furnish needed farm supplies such as wagon poles, whWIetrees, eveners, or fence posts! : - Fourth, by growing and marketing Christmas trees. And fifth, by working the wood lot every winter. """"The old cut-and-get-out basis, he said, Is a quick way to lose good dollars. In contrast, stand improvement is economically sound and is bounl to pay big dividends. Plan Huge New Tax Bill for '37 House Democrats Predict the Next Session Will "Act More Intelligently." WASHINGTON, D. C.--Another large new tax bill will have to be passed next year to pay for the unprecedented spending of the Roosevelt administration, the Democratic majority of the house ways and means committee admitted in reporting on the 803 million dollar corporation surplus tax, drafting of which it had Just completed. In referring to certain provisions of the bill, the 17 Democrats on the committee both startled and amused the Republicans by stating in the report: "This will take care of the President's request until the next session of congress, which can then act more intelligently in the light of the conditions then existing." The committee's apparent opinion of its own bill was elaborated upon by speakers of the United States chamber of commerce, meeting in the capital, who characterized it; as well as other Roosevelt tax measures, as "irrational, inequitable and a species of economic auiclde for the nation." Some of the conditions necessitating the "surplus" tax and other taxes to • follow next year were indicated by Henry Morgenthau, Jr., secretary of the treasury, appearing before the finance committee of the senate after the bill had been passed by the house. He estimated that the deficit for the fiscal year ending June 30 next would be 5 billion 966 million dollars. This was an amount greater by some 44 million dollars than the administration's total expenditures for the fiscal year up to the end of ApriL Controlling Erosion Few of us appreciate fully the importance organic matter plays in controlling erosion, along with the greater production of crops it promotes. Soils well supplied with organic matter are more retentive of moisture, remain , more friable, are easier to work, and are lfess likely tp become hard or form a crust after rains. As the organic matter is increased the yields Increase. In our farm practice there are three sources from which organic matter is usually supplied--farm manure, root» and stubbles left from crops, and green crops turned under.--Missouri , * • • ' • ; : Ears and Kernels The number of ears on a stalk of torn and the number of kernels on an ear vary greatly with different varieties of sweet corn. The number of ears may be anywhere from one to 6ne-half dozen or more on tbe same plant, while the number of kernels to .".the ear may" vary between 500 and , 3,000 or more. The Golden Bantam •types of sweet corn, for example, have <#tnaller ears, with fewer kernels, than ' fiost other types and 500 would be an fveraxe for this type. , Oats for Pigs Experiments indicate that oats are 60 to 75 per cent as efficient as corn for fattening pigs if they form about one-third of the ration and are ground or crushed. Hulling, it Is said, does not pay. OaU| alone or with a protein content concentrate are not as good feed as when fed with corn. Because oats are not as palatable aB some grainy, hogs will eat more than the necessary amount of protein supplement if they have access to it For 60- pound shoats in dry lot two or three pounds of supplement Is sufficient for a bushel of oats or half as much on pasture.---Missouri .Firmer. Du Pont Cash Was Okeh When New Deal Got It Washington.--When does du Pont money become "good" "money? Answer: After it has gone through the purification process and found its way into the Democratic campaign chest to keep company with the shekels of the money changers, who, presumably, have been driven from the temple. Data furnished the United States senate by Senator Hastings (Delaware) list the contributions of the du Ponts and their associate, John J. Raskob, both before and after the nomination of President Roosevelt. They show that Mr. Roosevelt wholeheartedly accepted the active support and financial aid of the men he now denounces for their activities In the Liberty League. The records in the Senate now show that Raskob gave $25,000 after Roosevelt was nominated, Pierre S. du Pont gave a like amount, and in 1932, after the inauguration, contributed an additional $15,000. To which Irenee du Pont added his check for $5,000. SCHOOL GET8 AIRING Arlington, Mass.--Thanks to WPA, the Lock* school here Is by this time probably the most renovated institution of learning in the United States. In a 40-page report of Massachusetts projects which have been officially approved appear the following items: Page 7: "Arlington -- Renovate Locke school building, $374." . Page 10: "Arlington--Renovate" Locke school building, $1,202." Page 15: "Arlington--Renovate Locke school building, $453." Page 19: "Arlington.--Renovate Locke school building, $944." Taxes Rise IV2 Times; Income Drops One-Third Washington.--Iloto taxes, due largely to spending by the Roosevelt ad ministration, have become 1% times what they were In 1928, while Income has dwindled to only about two-thirds of what it was then, was revealed by Sen. Daniel O. Hastings of Delaware In a senate speech in which he accused the President and Postmaster General Farley of making false statements about the prosperity of the country. "In the year 1928 the national income was 80 billion dollars," he said, "or about $640 for every man, woman and child in America. The cost of government for the fiscal year 1928 was 3 billion dollars, or a little over $24 per capita. "In the year 1935 the national income was approximately 54 billion 500 million dollars, or $436 per capita, while the cost of the government, it is estimated, will be about 7 billion, 500 million dollars, or $60 per capital. "So, in 1928, if each person paid his proportionate Share of the taxes, he would have $606 left In 1935, after he paid his proportionate share of the taxes, be had only $376 left." - Rents Land at 50c an Acre; AAA Pays Him $7 Com Smut Corn smut is a fungus and Is carried over from one yeftr to another on old stalks, o.n fodder, in manure and probably also In tbe soli. Since the disease is not seed borne, seed treatment is useless. The collection of the smutted ears and stalks before the spores are spread will belp greatly to control thfe trouble if it can b^ done.

Campbell arranged his rentals through the Indian bureau. Altogether, Campbell received m than $50,000 for not planting wheat. His checks from the AAA indicated a per acre yield of about 7 bushels of wheat, from which it has been estimated he received approximately $1 a bushel for the ^vheat he did not produce during three years. Among the other disclosures were payments of more than 1 million dollars each to two sugar growers, one in Hawaii and one in Florida, and a payment of only a little less than a million to a sugar firm in Puerto Rico.

Sleeoine Sickness During the winter, it Is not likely that other horses wBl catch sleeping sickness from an animal that has recovered. In' summer, such a thing might occur, but It is somewhat rare.
