Peach Insect Arrives Early The oriential fruit moth, an insect which damages peach twigs and fruit, has put in an earlier than usual appearance in Greene county this year. The injury to the fruit is in the form o f burrows made into the flesh o f the fruit with feeding of the larvae being most pronounced about the stone. Bits of frass ad­ here to entrance hoU-s which usually show a gummy exudate. The fruit should be protected by applying a spray made from two pounds o f 50 per cent DDT in 1Q0 gallons of water. Early peach, varieties will need one application, later varieties, two or three. Tree trunks as well as tops should be sprayed. A sul­ phur fungicide can be mixed with DDT spray an orchards where brown rot control is needed. The Ohio peach crop is light this year so top quality fruit is lihely to bring a good price. Stover Herd High Again The eleven cow herd of John Stover, Cedarville R. R. 1, again set the pace for the 19 herds in the Greene county dairy pro­ duction testing program during the month of June, averaging 38.4 pounds of S. F. per cow and 1058 pounds of milk. This same herd was at the top of the list in May. The second high hern for'June is owned by Fred and Ginn McClain, Xenia, R. R. 4. Trelawny Farms, barn number 1 Cedarville, had the third high herd. Mr. Stover also had the high?.» individual producer o f milk, s cow that produced 1971 pound' o f milk testing 35 percent B. I* A cow belonging in the William Ankeney and Son herd, Beaver­ creek township, made the top record for butterfat with a rec­ ord of 81.1 pounds. There wen 460 cows on which production Tecords were kept during June. Eighty seven cows produced 40 or' more pounds o r butterfat. Production records are the only way to take the guess work out o f the continuous job of deter­ mining which cows are making a profit, and which animals are boarder. Contact the county agent’s office for further infor­ mation on this program. Can Save Gasoline Gasoline has become a large farm operating expense over the last 15 years due to the great increase in the amount of farm work done by tractors and trucks. A large saving can he made in the amount of fuel used if pow­ er tools and vehicles are put in good operating condition and ignition adjustments. Tractors are built to operate most efficiently when the fuel mixture is correct and when the mixture inside the cylinders is fired at the right time. The fuel mixture can be adjusted by warm­ ing the tractor by operating it on a normal belt load. The needle valve should be turned in until the motor starts to miss and then turned back just enough to allow the engine to run smoothly. • Spark plugs should be checked after each 200 hours of use. Time can be saved if a spare set of plugs is placed in the motor while the other set is taken to a shop for cleaning and testing. The plug electrodes should be adjusted while the plugs are out for cleaning. Slow sparks or misses waste fuel rapidly and cut down the amount of power delivered by the motor. Any obstruction in the carbu- ertor air intake will increase fuel consumption and cut down motor power, and dirt going into the engine hastens the time when major repairs will be necessary. S’. O. District In State Contest The Greene county soil con­ servation district is one o f the 10 or 12 of the 66 districts in Ohio entered in the state soil conservation district c o n t e s t sponsored by the Goodyear Rub­ ber company. The district which shows tlic most outstanding pro­ gram for soil improvement o f farms in the county will be de­ clared the winner. I f Greene county should win the top prize in this contest the five local farmers making up the district board of supervisors and one other farmer will got an all expense paid trip to the Good­ year Rubber company farm at I’hoenix, Ariz. this winter. I lie Greene county district su­ pervisors including Ben Beard, chairman, A. E. Beam, J. B. Lane, Raymond Cherry, and A. E. Peterson; and J. A . Odegard £>. C. S. \conservationist have worked haul in fulfilling reguire- ments of the contest. The local program is worthy o f winning the state contest. Ohio Apple Crop Down Gernon Patterson, extension horticulturist, Ohio State uni­ versity, estimates the 1948 Ohio apple crop will be 50 percent of normal with the best crop re­ ported in central Ohio. Poor pollination was responsible, at least in part, although a theory has been advanced that perhaps pollen was not mature' at blos­ soming time. Remove Grain Stubble To Save Legumes Greene county clover and alfal­ fa seeding* in wheat which has been harvested with a combine- stand a much better chance of living through next Whiter if the straw .and stubble left by the combine is removed from the field within thirty (lays after harvest. Clipping the stubble helps the seeding even i f a farmer does not have time to remove the straw. The chance o f damage to the seeding increases with the amount o f straw and stubble in the field. Seeding usually survive if the average more than 750 to 1,000 pounds per acre. The damage to stubble and straw left does not the reeding is done by the stubble shading the legume plants so they grow slowly and also by the straw providing favorable con­ ditions for development of di­ seases which kill clover and al­ falfa plants. In tests supervised by Profes­ sor (’ . J. Willard, agronomy de­ partment, Ohio State university the average yield from fields where the stubble and straw has been removed was one and one- half tons o f clean hay per acre. On fields where the wheat stubble i was left standing, the yield \\.;Kj a ton of hay per acre but the* hay contained several huias>- pounds o f weathered straw v . was worthless for feed. Use handiest way of gocuug the straw o ff the field is to use a pick up haler, Lut the job can tv done at a profit with a side delivery rake and hay loader where the straw is needed for 1cudin/f or can be sold at a fair1 price. When the stubble is clipped and left on the field, the divider board 'tumid be taken o ff the mower . o ihe straw is not left in windrows. legume f codings are not dam­ aged by exposure to sun after ColumbusPaper Announces Farm FamilyContest Some farm family in Greene county has a chance to win a brand new Ford tractor and plow, absolutely free and to enjoy a week’s vacation at the Ohio state fair living on the fairgrounds in a model farm home.
