Insects Enjoy Mild Winter Says Ohio Entomologist
Ohio State University entomologist T H Parks reports a mild winter benefited numerous pests. The bean beetle cucumber beetle harlequin cabbage bug and corn ear worm thrived or will thrive in 1938 as elm leaf beetle canker worm and cluster flies emerge. Hessian flies may prosper, while cicadas and chinch bugs pose little threat this year. Fewer apple aphis eggs bring relief to orchard owners though outbreaks could follow favorable weather.

Pasture Mixtures Discussed by Lorain County Farmers
Lorain County farmers study pasture mix options with county agent C I Hummel. Kentucky bluegrass remains the main permanent pasture grass but seeds poorly, so red clover timothy and red top are added for faster cover. Recommendations include limestone and super phosphate to improve pastures where the stand wanes, with reports of lasting benefits years after treatment. Costa Rica’s banana exports totaled 1 009 000 bunches in the last year.

The Federal surplus commodities corporation bought apples during the tar harvest deal, distributing 25 carloads to relief clients in Ohio. Since January the program has resulted in several thousand apples purchased to stabilize markets. The aim is to supply relief agencies with no entry to usual trade channels. By mid February Ohio growers faced heavy offers. A possible withdrawal from the market is signaled by shrinking weekly quotas. F. E. East, stationed in Columbus, reports Washington instructed purchases of a few more carloads of apples in Ohio.
