Turkeys can carry gapeworms at any age, adults often show no signs, and infested farms commonly had turkeys present. Ground used for prior chick rearing or with roaming mature poultry likely harbors worm eggs. fresh ground is advised, with plowing helping to break parasite cycles.

Add Nicotine Sulphate to Sprays to Save Bees
Orchardists fear arsenate of lead sprays used on pear and apple blossoms will poison bees. Recent experiments show adding nicotine sulphate to the spray reduces bee poisoning as bees avoid nicotine, though pollination is affected if applied during full bloom. Nicotine sulphate also helps control aphids and protects bees.
Idaho Orchardist Tells of His Spraying Plans
Idaho orchardist F E Stephens of Nampa reports successful control of the codling moth and minimal spray residue by four applications of arsenate of lead at six pounds per 200 gallon tank, with a fifth early July at four pounds per tank. Vole oil was used August 10 to 18 to combat the second brood, with cacein spreader throughout. High pressure spraying at 400 to 450 pounds soaked the trees, which Stephens credits for the good results.
