lion pounds, or about equal to production in recent years. The supply of creamy butter for civilians is expected to be 1,300 million pounds, compared with average annual consumption of millions pounds in recent years. This does not include nearly 400 million pounds of farm-made butter which is consumed by civilians on farms or in local communities. Allowing for the millions of men who have gone into armed forces, and for the fact that the civilian population includes persons of all ages, the per capita supply of butter that will be available for ci vilian consumption will be equivalent to about 85 per cent of normal for the present civilian population. Cheddar cheese production is expected to reach a seasonal peak of over 100 million pounds in June and then decline to around 45 million pounds in November, totaling about 800 million pounds for the next 12 months.

This expected production represents an increase of about 200 million pounds over 1940 production. Government requirements will be approximately 330 million pounds. On a per capita basis, the civilian supply of cheddar will be equivalent to about 75 per cent of normal. In addition, all other types of cheese, such as Swiss, I Koquerfort, will be available iu 1'ivuiaua aiuve im-y are uui m- cludod in the set-aside order.

PEAS FOR STORING IN FREEZER LOCKERS Any variety of peas which is hiuh aualitv for eatiny fresh a cood variety to store in freezer from the locker cannot be any better than its quality when first put in.

Peas should be harvested before tho seed entirely fills the pod if highest quality is to be obtained. After the seed entirely fills the pod, it becomes starchy and looses its fresh, sweet flavor. After this development it can no onger be classed as a protective food but is rather a starchy one. Having reached the best eating stage, it is next very important that the product be harvested, shelled, blanched and frozen in just as short a time as possible, After removal from the vine peas deteriorate in sweetness, flavor and general quality.

CRYOLITE FOR INSECT CONTROL Cryolite as a substitute for arsenical and other stomach poisons for insect control has become more important with the war- time shortage of rotenone and pyrethrum insecticides. Then too. since the discovery that calcium arsenate as well as lead arsenate is somewhat harmful to bean plants, cryolite has been recommended for control of the bean leaf beetle and the Mexican bean beetle. Fortunately there will be a plentiful supply of cryolite during 1943, with anticipated production about two and a half times that of last year. Cryolite is a mineral product sold under the trade names of Kryocide or Alorco cryolite.

Cryolite may be quite generally used to control chewing insects by applying it as a dust mixed in the proportion of I part of cryolite to 3 parts of flour. As a spray the usual dosage is 3 pounds of cryolite to 100 gallons of water, or for small operations, to a gallon of water. Application should be made in accordance with manufacturers' directions, which appear on most packages. Like the arsenicals, cryolite Is a stomach poison and should be carefully used and stored in such manner that it will not be reach ed by children or pets. It is rec- ommended that cryolite not be ough washing and rinsing will i remove any residue.

dangerous poison SAWDl'ST IS VERT POOR FERTILIZER Sawdust is of practically no value as a fertilizer. It is car- bonanceous material which con- fallen to the ground to bo used by the soil. Another disadvantage of attempting to use sawdust as a fertilizer is that it takes so long for to rot. Its lack of nitrogen sum-ply means that in order to break down, the bacteria which cause to rot must get from the soil their nitrogen so necessary in this process. That, naturally, means that when sawdust is in the soil the need for nitrogcen in its de- cay competes with plants which are growing.

Since the bacteria are better gatherers of nitrogen than are the plants, the sawdust naturally becomes a hindrance to plant growth rather than an aid. On very tight soil, it may bo some help in slightly improving the physical condition of the soil, but will probably do more harm in tying up the nitrogen than it does good. Sawdust, therefore, cannot be recommended as fertilzier or as a source of organic matter. We can supply you with good starting and growing feeds for chicks, also good pig and hog feeds.

It is very important, if maximum yields are to be obtained, that tomatoes be set out as soon after the frost-free date as possible. Experiments and repeated experience have shown that early set tomatoes on fertile soil will produce more through the season and will have more toma- toes on the vines at frost than vines that are set late. The reason for this is that when a tomato plant is set out immediately after the frost-free date, it has several weeks of excellent growing weather before mid-summer.

During this time it can establish a large, deep root system and a sturdy top. Such a plant is prepared to withstand unfavorable weather with a minimum of injury. Also, during the weeks of good growing weat ler the plants set fruit, which on a vigorous vine with a well developed root sytem will continue to develop even though the weather does turn dry and hot. The late-set plants, on the other hand, have very little time to establish their roots before the weather becomes extremely warm und dry. These plants, therefore, can not set fruit until later in the season and their to- tal production is naturally much Amount to ir Oix Vrrtm Fur Mr P.I t-l he.

Spinach is a heavy nitrogen feeder. Therefore, in order to have normal, rapid growth of spinach, nitrate nitrogen must be readily available throughout its development. When spinach is not able to obtain nitrogen it not only stops growth but the dark green color, normal in the spinach leaf, rap idly fades and the plant rapidly becomes yellow. If this lack of nitrogen persists long enough the spinach plant will die. On the other hand, if the sun comes out and tho excess moisture leaves the soil so that the nitrification process can con- tinue, the spinach which still has some green left in its leaves may recover and continue its normal growth.

CABBAGE WORM CONTROL Probably nothing is more disconcerting to the average gardener than to discover that leaves of his cabbage, kale or cauliflower plants ore being riddled by bage worms. The most important species in Missouri is not the native cabbage worm, which more often attacks turnips and mustards, but an invader known as the imported cabbage worm. This latter may be identified as a velvety green worm about one inch long when fully gown. The adult stage is the common white butterfly with small round black spots on it wings, and is seen flying about the garden all summer long. This pest has several generations each season and is destructive from early spring uns til fall.

The usually recommended control treatment for cabbage worms requires the use of derris or py-'rethrum. Supplies of these ons are, however, limited for the duration and other treatments must be substituted. Until cabbage begins to form, the simplest method is to apply a dust composed of 1 part of lead arsenate to parts of hydrated lime or flour. If the worms are effectively conrtolled early in the season before the heads are formed, it is seldom necessary to apply poison insecticides later. Arseni-cal poisons must not be used after heads begin to form as they are likely to poison the persons who eat the cabbage.

If the i worms should be presistcnt, one of the dorris or pyrethrum insecticides may be used if avail-; able. There are also on the mar- ket some new synthetic non-! poisonous dusts and sprays which may be used in tKOoraance witn manufacturers' directions.
