I Whale Oil. E The total production from Norway of | whale oil during 1916 amounted to 3867,400 barrels, as against 475,000 bar rels in 1915, 575,000 in 1914, and 000, 000 in 1913. The world's production of whale oil during 1916 amounted to 684,500 barrels. Compared with the world's production the Norwegian pro duction during 1916 was about 58 per cent, during 1915 about 75 per cent, during 1914 about 78 per cept, and dur ing 1918, 77 per cent. westward ad and sothard to Texas and Mexico.

With the asistance of nature, Luther Burbank has invented a new apple which is deseribed as "a triple combi nation of the alligator pear, the yam and the regular apple." The new fruit is a salmon pink in color, with a leath er-like covering, and is said to be adapted for use in salads.

II POWERFUL RECRUIT FOR RED CROSS fit Another addition to the business itn executives enlisted in the service of sn the Red Cross during the war was a made when John D.

The maintenance of me 50 or more base hospitals will be one rue Sof the large tasks which will be laid one immediately before him. He has the position of director general of military relief and will hel in charge of all relief work for the fighting forces. Mr. Ryan succeeds Col. Jefferson R. Kean, who has been ordered to talte command of the 160 United States Le. army ambulance sections in the war theater. The military relief department was organized by Colonel Kean in 1916 and in the past few months hehans Ituilt up, through it, a great machine for relief work at the front. It waas because of his Intimate knowledge of this work that the war department made him commander of the army ambulance sections, which were first to o carry the American flag to the fighting lines.

It haits been noted also in Loulsi ana. Field workers of the Bureau of wl Entomology of the United States de- sit ialrtlneat of aigricltulre who ithave studied the new pest alt Brownsville rt found it can be controlled by careful ha spraying. Arsenate of lead, used at s the rate of one poutnd of iowder to tni t)0 gallons of water, or zinc airs.enate, r used tat the rate of one pound of pow- WI der to 40 gallons of water, were found effective. These sprays destroyed oi from 93 to 96 per cent of the larvae 1 on the sweet-potato vines. The sweet-potato leaf-folder con structs a shelter by folding a leaf or drawing two leaves together with silk wil which it spins for the purpose. As it gil increases in size it devours most of the leaf except the larger veins and mid- the rib. In 1116. at Brownsville, Tex., the the pest was first observed about the mid lie of September. By the middle of ST October the caterpillars had become so abundant that it was found advis- Enl able to spray Immediately. When done I early one spray application may be sufficient. whereas if treatment is de layed until a large number of larvae 8q have spun cocoons, two or more appli- urgi cations may be necessary In order to of ft effect complete control. ticH Natural enemies of this insect in all Texas are the jackdaw or boat-tailed pric grackle and the spited solddler bug.

It will pay to foted grain to all cows f which give more than this aniomt, since high-plrowucing aninalis cannot galther sufficient feed in the forar of grnls. A cow giving it pound and a half of butter dally should receive tbhout five pounds of grain dally, sad one giv''in two poundsi of butter should receive seven or eight pounds of grail. W1hen not mnore than four or Se pounds of grain are fed it may consist of corn. If more thln this Is needed, siome bran or a small amount of cotton seed mleal sihould be added Thens recommendations hold good only whet pastures are gasol. In late summer it will often hbe necessary to feed more grnin to high-producing cows or give some silage or green feeds to help at the pastures. STAPLE FOOD CROPS NEEDED Enlarged Production Is Greatest and Most Important Service Required of Farmers. Secretary of Agriculture Houston, in urging the planting of a heavy acreage of foxl and feed crops, emphasises par ticularly the practical certainty that all such crops will bring very high prices. He says: "It is obvious that the greatest anad most . important service that Is re quired of our agriculture under exist Ing conditions is an enlarged produ-e. tion of the staple food crops. Because of the shortage of suc(h crops practical ly throughout the world there is ao risk in the near future of excesave production such as sometimes has re suited in unremunerative prices to pitt ducers. This is particularly true of cereals and of peas, beans, cowpea soy beans and buckwheat. In view the world scarcity of food, there hardly a possibility that the auction of these crops by the farm. era of the United States ean be too great this year, and there is absa dant reason to expect generous priceo returns for all available surplus."
