Department Hog cholera caused a loss of more than $27,000,000 to the swine Industry of the United States during the year ended April 30, 1924, according to a recent compilation by the United States Department of Agriculture. More than half of the total loss occurred in the corn belt states, where hogs are especially numerous. A comparison of the number of hogs, with the loss caused by cholera In each state, shows that the ravages of the disease are approximately In proportion to the hog population. In computing the losses from hog cholera, specialists of the bureau of animal industry estimate that 80 per cent of losses from all causes are duo to this dread disease. Most of this loss can be prevented by the proper sanitation and the preventive-serureatment Bulletins giving full Infor mation on hog cholera, Its control and prevention may be obtained on request from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. common white grubs, also called "grub worms," are one stage of the The moderately large brown beetle known as May beetle or June bug. The adult beetle feeds on the larvae of such trees as oak, ash, hickory, poplar, elm, willow, walnut, locust and hackberry. The parent beetle emerges from the earth In the spring and deposits eggs In the soil from one to five Inches deep and usually near grass or weed roots. The eggs are laid In May and June and hatch In about two weeks. The young grubs hatching from the eggs are very small and for a while feed on organic or slightly decayed vegetable matter In the soil. Later these grubs will attack the roots of grasses or agricultural crops which happen to be growing In the field. Feed Near Surface.
