The plan carries With it the adop—
tiOn of tWo grades of cream, the
cream to be graded at the station
and separated according to the buy-
Cers’ judgment. These grades for
the present will both come under the

ﬁsame price, but the object of grad—
ing is to school the buyer in a cor->
rect knowledge and also show the
~farmer the difference between his
'cream and his neighbors, when such
ditferenc'e exists.

Simultaneously, a series of letters
are going out to station operators
and another series to the farmers.
It is through this medium of con-
tact that the Association is able to
clinch the importance of its cam-

 paign. These letters entitled “Mon-
 _ ey Talks” are going out regularly
twice a month to about 50,000 cream
selling farmers; and the few short,

HE difference between the price of poor twine and good
twine varies-from 3 to 6 cents per acre. The diﬁercncc
between the cost of poor twine and good_ twine cannot

, be measured by any such small change as pennies and nickcls.

, Out in the harvest ﬁelds when time is money, this difference
must be ﬁgured in dollars. And you pay this difference, with
heavy interest. if younsc poor twine. ‘ * -'

TRYING TO TAKE PLUS OUT OF

STEEL FREIGHT, ’

RMERS "and other users

 

of

steel implements. in the west have.

‘found gratiﬁcation in , the an-
nouncement that the Federal Trade
Commission has ﬁled a complaint

against the U S. Steel Corporationy

protesting against the addition of
freight rates from Pittsbur'g on the
price of rolled steel even it it is
manufactured in some western city.
The agitation which brought about
this claim is due in part to the Am-
erican Farm Bureau Federation. Ac-
cording to President Gary' of the
steel corporation the cost of making
rolled steel- at Gary. Indiana; is 25
per cent below the cost at Pittsburg.
Yet Gary steel is sold thrhughout the
west on the basis of the Pittsburg
cost plus the, freight from Pittsburg.
This higher price» is handed down to
farmers and other users of steel im-_
plements and constitutes another
one of those inequalities in the eco-
nomic, world whereby certain gro "s
of men’ make millions while _ t 9
terms" helps contribute those mil-
lions cr'gets aldng the best he can
on old machinery.

Clifford Thorns, legal counsel for,

the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion says, “The Federal Trade Com-
mission deserves great praise. It
will mean

ti-on in the manufacture of

products, and it will foster-the in»

The relation ‘of 1 this “Piftsburg
plus case” to the farmer is described
by PresidentHoward of the Ameri—

can Farm Bureau Federation as fol—f

The Direct Route to Greater
Gram Profits
OR YEARS farmers have been looking for
1a shorter route to market
proﬁts. At last a plan has been discovered
which seeks to put the control of marketing
into the farmers’ hands. Through the organ—
izationof the U. 8.. Grain Growers’ Inc., work-
ing with the co-operativc elevators, a. gigantic
sales organization covering every grain state
of the Union and represented in the marts of

:the world is placed at‘ the service of the farm-

ers. ' It remains with the farmers whether

they shall remain in chains to the present sys-‘

tom ofvmarketing. and the speculators who
control it or Whether they shall be free, and
market their grain through an organization
which they thems‘elveS'own and manage. The
beneﬁts of this plan have already been part-
ially discusSed in these columns. Fuller de-
tails are cOntained- in a booklet put out by the

If an excess of chalf made the fleece ' » .

As f

soon as the entire clip’was grader the helper-7 

threw each grade on the scales to be weighed
and the grower watched the weighmaster bal-‘
ancc the scales. After it was weighed the
wool was placed in large piles in the ware:
house where it lost its identity so far as its
owner was concerned and became a part of the
pool. At the same time the grower was given
the weight of each grade of his commodity.
The amount which he could secure at the bank :
was checked opposite each grade and the total
amount placed below. Growers also watched
the grading of the wool of other farmers and
asked frequent questions of the grader and
the assistants. The farm bureau is working
on the theory that a grower cannot have much
incentive to produce high quality wool if he
does not have an independent judgement of
the difference between thc‘grades of wool just
the same as a man could not be expected to.
grow good hogs and cattle if he did not get to

see competent judges appraise his stock, at

county fairs and exhibitions once in a while.
The wool department reports that its belief.
that the labor expenses would be cheaper by:
the localized warehouse plan seems to be welL
substantiated from its ﬁrst. clevcu days cX-i
pcricncc. Country labor is cheaper than city
labor. Actual labor cost has been cut in half. 7

 GET the best results withipotatoes 'it
, ,, 7 v“ is "essential that the crop be handled
~j properly from- the start. No amount of labor
 expended on the crop late in the season will
i febrrect mistakes that are commonly made at

planting time. One mistake often made is to
plant, potatoes on soilsthat are unsuitable for
_§t_he‘m.- - The beSt potato soils are fertile, well
i'drained and amply provided with organic
matter. Potatoes gI'OWn on poorly drained
clay soils are rough and poor in quality.

The lighter soils ordinarly produce the best
quality potatoes, however, the yields on such
soils are often low due to their lack of insuf-
ﬁcient plant food' and moisture. Organic
matter added to the soil in the form of stable
manure, alfalfa and sweet clover sod, etc., will
add plant food and will increase the moisture
helding capacity of the soil. Many potato

‘_ growers make the mistake of planting too
‘. many acres of potatoes and too few acres of
' “alfalfa and sweet clover. Potatoes quickly
exhaust‘a. soil of its fertility while such Crops
 as alfalfa, sweet clover, etc. add fertility to
 thev'soil. It has been estimated that a good
alfalfa sod turned under adds to the soil prac-
ticallythe same amount of plant food as does
tan tons of stable manure. This helps to ex-
plain the reasonwhy increased yields are se-
cured when potatoes follow alfalfa or clover
in": the rotation. r
 ,arnyard manure is invaluable in potat
gréwing, since it carries not only plant food
‘b‘iit‘also millions of the bacteria that work for
the welfare of the potato plant. Fresh ma—
thure applied to the land shortly before the
planting seasOn may increase the percentage
ofgscabbympotatoes. It is better to apply the
‘mg'anure'during the winter ,or early spring

[THIN TWO Weeks Of the time you
' subscribe a dollar to aid the starving

Chinese, the equivalent of your gift in food is
placed in the eager hands of the person for
whom it was intended, thousands of miles
away across the Paciﬁc. That is the average
time required under the system of relief ma-
, chinery that has been set up by the American
Committee for China Famine Fund.

i Taking as typical the case of a little girl liv-
ing in a small « village some distance from
‘Paotingfu, in the ‘Province of Chihli, the man-,
ner in which relief reaches her is explained in
this .way: The local relief committee for the
Hsien, or county in which she lives, which in-
cludes missionaries, oiiicials of the Chinese
Commercial Guilds and prominent native res-
idents, wires to the central committee at Pe-
‘king a deﬁnite statement of the needs in that
particular neighborhood. Such reports are
taken care of in the order of their emergency.
When the turn comes for Poatingfu to receive
relief, money for the purchase of grain is
lﬁwired to an agent of the relief committee sta-
r'r-tjioned in Mukden, Manchuria, 700 miles from
Peking, and in the center of the nearest dis-
lei-jet where there is a large surplus supply of
"giain. This agent desgatches the alloted num-
.  of bags of grain t the particular district
‘ scheduled to get it, and wires the Hsien com-
mittee there when it should reach the nearest

with a women mill in the state for the manu-

the manufacturer, whose return was small,
was the wool grower himself, who actually

advanced valuation, which brought him more

About four carloads of wool have gone into

The Massachusetts income tax law is not a
general income tax, but a tax upon four spec-
iﬁed classes of personal income, with flat rates
upon each class varying from one and one-half
per cent. The New York rates upon personal
incomes are one per cent upon the first $10,000
or, fraction thereof,» net income above 'exemp-
tions, and two percent upon the next $40,000
or fraction thereof, net income, and" three per
cent ,upon all net income over $50,000. The

half to a million dollars worth of manufac- .

Hankins. ‘

The suitingsproposition is now in the last
stages of its development. The blanket mill
has taken over the manufacture of thesuit—

tured the blanket deal. A wide assortment
of samples has been prepared and is nowgo-

operative associations of the state. They "are

Michigan far less than the wholesale price on
An arrangement
has been concluded with a big Michigan tail—_

at a nominal cost. This year the Michigan

'wool grower will be able to buy the ﬁnest .vir-

gin wool suit to be had at less than half the
cost of an ordinary suit. Every suit soldwill
be giving the Michigan wool grower a better
price on his wool. All business on manufac-
tured goods is done from the state ofﬁce
through the farm bureau locals and coopera-
tive associations throughout the state. Sales
are also made to individuals. (007W 0'" W. 11)

Date a Planting an'd Variety of Seed Used Important Factors Which Determine Tonnage and Quality of Yield; _ _

HE TIME to plant silage corn depends

to a certain degree on the place it is to‘

On some farms due Consideration must be
given the harvesting period audits harmon-
ious adjustment with other crops that are be-

of silage is becoming the prime factor of im-
portance with more farmers every year.

Economical Production

When the object is-to produce the greatest
possible tonnage per acre of the best quality
silage it becomes necessary to make use of ev-
ery favorable day the season atlords. Whetln
er this is done or not will'be determined by
two factors. i. e.: lst, date of planting; 2nd,
iaricty of'corn planted. . ‘ '

In southern Michigan the date of planting
extends through a‘ period of 21 days. Logic—
ally the ideal. planting date would be about
the middle of this period. Practically it takes

DEPENDS ON RATE OF INTEREST
- A gives mortgage to B on 40 acres of
land. B makes A give $65 bonus mon-
ey. A then sells the land to C and C
borrows the money to pay B, and A is

date. B discharges the mortgage for C
before A pays the interest.‘ Can A ho d
back interest enough to cover the bonus
B took from him, The mortgage was
not due when~vpaid.——-W, .T., Allen, Mich.

As your letter does not state what
rate of interest was speciﬁed in the
mortgage I can no~t..tell you whether.
the $65 was usury. If the $65 bon-
us would not make the interest all
fold ,for the full time more than 7
per cent it is not usury and he would
have to pay it; but, if, With the $65-
added to the rate' it would be more
than.7 per cent‘he would have no in—
terest to pay; and «the payments of
interest that have been made would
be deducted from_ the principal.—'-—

general crop failure in this cormtry.
Another reason fonthe  cy of
business along some lines, is the
fact that uncertainty about the com-
ing fall trade has the effect to make
dealers ultra-conservative and can-
tious about the making of commit-
ments. The trade is “between sea-
~ sons" and it. is hard to ﬁnd anyone
' who is willing to risk his reputation
by makmg predictions concerning
the general character of the busi-
ness of the coming fall. The settle-
ﬂnent of the German reparations
problem has given the trade a more
hopeful view of the future but eco-
nomic conditions in Great Britain
have, so far. completely offset the
optimism that followed the an-
nouncement that Germany had
signed.

classes of securities were easy and

between 6 per cent and the former

es in savings deposits and the clear-
ings for the week were considerably
in excess of six billions of dollars.

A combination of circumstances
including the unfavorable weather
mentioned above, have had the ef-

in cash business. Cured pork pro

strong market. Receipts at that
point were 1,100 cars last week. Et-
porters continued to take a, friendly
interest in this grain shipment from
Chicago amounting to 1.500.000
bushels. Weather conditions held
up the planting of the new crop. Oh
Monday. May 16th, corn- parted
ways with wheat on some markets
‘and was‘inclined to on others. The
Detroit market was ad 2 cents be-
fore the close of the day while in
Chicago prices advanced slightly;
however, on every attempt to go
higher the Chicago corn market met
with ready selling from commis-
sion houses and this factor ﬁnally
forced the market to close with pric-
es from 1-2 to 1 cent‘lower.

“(Continued from last" week), ‘
. AI-RY-yetch seed is threshed with
ordinary grain separator and
presents no special difficulties

if vines are dry. Mixed rye and hairy
Vetch is run through the machine in
the ordinary manner, usually with-
out any a justment of the cylinder
or of the screens. A little care must
be taken that the machine is not
run too rapidly, as. the. hairy-vetch
seeds are, apt to? crack and split, es-
pecially in dry weather or when the
seeds are dead ripe. A good thresh-
erman,’ of, course,'do-es not run his
machine so fast as to injure the hairy
vetch, but ~many operators habitus~
ally run at an excessive rate of
speed and these must be cautioned
to proceed more carefully. At times
it'may be necessary to change the
pulleys, to allow the cylinder to run
more slowly than the rest of the ma-.
chine. Just as much seed 1's thresh-
ed in a day by running slowly, be-
cause less seed goesover in the
straw. When the speed of the cyl-
inder is not reduced it is advisable
to remove some of the concave teeth.
The greatest difficulty in‘ thresh-
ing is likely to come in attempting
to thresh a semigreen crop. All
threshermen object toworking with
the tough, wiry vines, as they wind
around the cylinder, become tangled,
in the shakers and cause an endless
amount of trouble and loss of time.
Cases are known where farmers have
been charged as high as 18 cents a
bushel for threshing such a crop,

and the charge is not wholly unrea- ,

sonable in view of the difficult na—
ture of the work. In order, there-
fore, to avoid argument as to price
and to insure running the machine
at the proper speed, it is usually
best when threshing green hairy
vetch to pay for the threshing by the
day instead of by the bushel as is
commonly done.

Cleaning 'and , Separating

Since hairy vetch is usually grown
as a companion 'crop with grain, the
seed must be cleaned and separated
from the grain before it can be mar-
Cleaning
is accomplished by means of an or-
dinary» fanning mill or seed cleaner,
which removes the trash, weed seeds,
and more or less of the grain.

To remove the grain from the
hairy vetch‘ is a more difficult pro-
cess, as the seeds are so nearly of
the same size, shape and weight that
no ordinary machine separates them.
Small lots of seed can be separated
fairly well in a fanning mill and the
excess'grain picked out by hand. A
better method is to pour the mixed
seed on a smooth slanting surface,
such as a tin shed roof,
have been ﬁxed horizontally thin
Strips of wood. By sweeping the
mixture up the slope with a broom,
the grain is held back, while the,
hairy vetch seeds roll down ‘ the
slope and off the edge. A similar
plan consists of a series of inclined
steps, arranged about 2 inches apart

over which the mixture is allowed to .

run. A'bout three-fourths of the rye
falls through the openings. The
simplest method of all is to spread
the seed on a barn floor and allow
chickens to pick out the grain, which
they will do, leaving the hairy
vetch.
complished on clover graders or wild,
oats separators, which consist .es—

sentially of, endless belts of felt .or

Canton flannel set at such an in-

cline that the rye is carried up and

over the top while the vetch rolls to

the bottom. _

xLa‘rge lots of seed can not be

handled in such .a' manner, how-

er, but must be separated on a spiral

sepa'rator.‘ This simple but ingen—.

ious' device is reallythe keystone of»
the hairy—vetch seed industry, "as

the large seed jo’bbers, either thru

of a speciality of this vetch to ad-
vertise in the local papers and sell
directly to the consumers. Others
are able to'dispose. of all their pro-,
duct to their neighbors. On'account
of the rapidity with which‘ the hairy-
vetch seed industry developed in
Michigan, some time was-required
to establish a satisfactory marketing
system. Many farmers who ~grew

Thus, there, has been ’a’considerable
inequality in the prices paid to farm-
'ers in different sections, and some
growers have been forced out of the
business' because of uncertainty. as
to the returns. This diffiCulty ' is

Disposal of the Straw

Considered equal “to clover straW‘Or
somewhat better than bean straw.
Sheep especially are fond‘ of the

vetch straw and that which is slight-
ly green. ~ ﬂ

Hairy-vetch " straw is sometimes
plowed under for soil ' improvement,
especially on farm‘s in need of br-
ganic manure. This practice is not
the best. as dry hairyeyetch straw

decays slowly and tends to"dry out,

the soil,‘besides interfering with
cultivation. However, it
practically the same amounts of ni-
trogen, phosphoric acid and‘potash
as the green plant, and where no bet-
ter means is available for its dispos-
al, it should be plowed under.
very best way to dispose of the
straw is to feed it «to live-stockand
plow under the manure“ H

1 Under favorable conditions hairy
vetch yields as high as »10 to 1-12
bushels of seed per acre. A high
yield, however, is not necessarily'the
most proﬁtable,.for it usually in-

volves the handling of such an ex-,

ce-ssive quantity of tangled vines as
to greatly increase the cost of pro-
duction. per bushel. Most growers
do not seek high yields, but, in fact,
carefully avoid , them. Occasional-
ly a large yield of seed is obtained
from plants which are small in‘size
but heavily set with pods. Such .a
crop is, of course, highly proﬁtable,
but the “conditions which produce
these plants are not wellunders-too’d

potatoes. A common way of ‘ex-

pressing this is 'to say that a good ‘ '

crop of rye should contain 20 per
cent (12 pounds) of hairy_.ve-t-ch per
bushel. Nearly. all farmers secure
such yields in occasional years, but
only the most expert growers aver-
age that quantity. Probably the av-

,erage yield approximates 15 to 20

bushels per acre of mixed seed, con-
taining 5 to 8 pounds of hairy vetch
to the bushel.
13 bushels of rye and 2 bushels 'of

hairy vetch for the lower yields, or -

17 bushels of rye and 3 bushels.o£

hairy vetch for the higher yields.
.With reasonable success one should
be able to exceed the latter ﬁgures I

at least once in three years.

The proﬁts-from growing v~

The Division of Farm
.Drainage Investigation s
renders assistance to
farmers mainly along the
two principal lines of
drainage, namely, the
drainage swamp and ov-
erflowed land, and the
improvement by drain-
age of land already un-
der cultiVation. The principal ﬁeld
of drainage work lies east of the
100th T, meridian, although the irri-
gated section has its own drainage
problems due to the artiﬁcial appli—
cation of large. volumes of water to
the soil 'and‘ the leakage from irri-
gation ‘canal‘s.  "

The; Division of Rural Engineer-
ing is especially concerned with
making life on the farm even more
Worth living. -The development of
domestic water supply, sewage dis-
posal, electric light plants and pow—
engines and mechanical
eQuipment for the farm constitutes
a large ﬁeld of possibility. This di—
vision handles problems of"- this
nature and all mechanical problems

MAKING BLANKETSAND SUIT-
INGS FROM’ WQOL POOL
~(_O'Ontiltued from'pagc 5)

In 1920 wool was shipped to the
state. office for grading, weighing
and all handling, which was accom-
plished at less-than ﬁve cents .-a
pound. Mo‘rethan 1,500,000 pound-s
of this wool have been sold. In Late
March. the farm bureau was getting
16 “1.72 cents for, the very poorest
grade wools up to 33 ‘1_-2 cents for
the best grades.- 'Lbcal buyers thru—
oilt the state werepsaid to be “offer—
ing ten to twenty. cents for the 1921
clip.  ‘

Experience and study has taught
the Michigan State Farm, Bureau
even more economical methods of
handling “wool. When the 'state'pool
opened April I, for the 1921 clip,
there -- Were‘ 100 ,wool department
grading ‘wiarehousesigwhich ’ were
scheduled for the""state’s' 83 coun-

- ties, several to a county in the more

important wool sections. ' Three
teams of expert graders were tour:
ing the state grading and weighing
wool in the presence of growers and
offering a substantial cash advance
on the spot. The educational feat-
ure of the 1921 wool handling pro-
gram of the farm bureau is aug-
mented by extension men from the
Michigan Agricultural College.
Wool will' be stored in the vari-
ous grading warehouses until it is
sold. In 1920 the‘entire 3,000,000
pounds of wool paid a freight of
half to three-quarters of a cent into
Lansing, plus additional unloading,
hauling, piling, storage “and sorting
charges which could not be avoided,

 

 

but‘which; were handled with re-
markable economy. In 1921, says
MrkI—Iankins, the state-wide grading

 and‘storage plan will eliminate lo- 
-'eal__.freight charges, the
“extra handling.‘

Ignorance
‘6 HE FhRM-ERS are making money,”

" ' says an ignoramus residing in the city
of Detroit. Commenting upon agricultural
statistics showing the. comparatively meager
returns from farming, this pretender to know-
ledge says, “As time goes along the only re-
sult bf the statistics is that the farmer is still
going along in the biding satisfaction, comfort
and proﬁt of his farm home, occasionally add-
ing another automobile to his present stock on
hand.” In'onc breath this‘ intellectual giant
compares the farmer with the laboring man
ministers, . teachers, ‘
city clerks, employes in city conditions, the
increasing number of unemployed now io‘ccu-
pying the park‘,‘ benches, are making 5..per
cent. on any investment and banking'an aver?
age of $500 after home and fuel, and food are
accounted for?” In the next breath he com-
pares the farmer to the capitalist.  “The
American farmer today,” he says, “owns as.
much property as the combined valuation of
all the railroads, all thermonufacturing- indus-'
tries and all the banks in the United States,
and in addition owns a goodly share of these
'banks, factories and railroa ."’ ,,

Oh, ignorance, What crimes are committed
'in thy name! " What misunderstanding and
injustice follow in the wake of thy preaching!
It is forsooth singular that the man who seeks
to “enlighten” his fellow men upon the su-
perior pleasures and ﬁnancial rewards of
farming by comparison with the rewards of.
other occupations should always. leave out- “of,

FARMER BANKS
‘l' PAVE for several years advocat—

‘ed strictly farmer banks which

could loan money at a low rate
of interest,-—not more than four per
ceht,——on long time terms. .I read
that they have such a system in Aus—
tralia which is highly satisfactory to
all. Give the former a. loan on
his farm at 50 per cent cash value
evolusive of the buildings at 4 per
cent, 12 to 15 Years and witness the
prosperity of agriculture. To me
the action of Congress placing $70,~
000.000 to aid the farmers is all
“bush.” and done by those who do
not care about the 'interests of any—
one but themselves. Only for the
strong resistance of the money power
this method of which I speak could
soon be in operation. If the farm-
ers would only awake to a. true ap-
preciation .of the advantages of bet—
ter credits and lower money, they
could soon obtain their wishes de—
spite all. .

I must tell you that i found turf
self seated at table, one night at a
dinner during the Cleveland meetv
ingot the League of Women...Voters,
one
from New Jersey, one from Minne—V
sota, two from Illinois and one from
North Dakota. When i realized
that Kansas and North Dakota were
face to face at short range, I wond—
ered What would happen; but it was
not long before all of us were lean-
ing forward and exchanging inform~
ation and opinions as fast as women
could talk. The North Dakota woo
man was wife of the Lieut—Gov. of
that state and the Kansas woman
was Woman Publicity Member of
the State Republican party of her
state and therefore well posted. Ev-
ery'woman of the group recognized
the fearful odds at which the North
Dakota farmers have had to work' t0* .
better their conditions and there was

expressed only hope that somethingn‘” 

better will come out of their strug—
gle than they have had in the past.
It is very important ihat we should'
get the facts about that struggle be-
fore our Michigan people. Not long
ago I heard a Dr. F. A. Perry, rep-
resenting the Coalition Committee
of ‘Detroit, speak most rabidly
against the League, fearful least
Michigan farmers might embrace its
faith. He gave the impression that
the League was disloyal to the con~
stitution. but acknowledged, in re-
ply to the question, that he did not
know that the U. S. Supreme Court‘-
had eight months before upheld the"?
lower courts in the opinion that the?
state of North Dakota had a right to“
its plan of state elevators and mills."
It is not necessary that we take sides' ..
either for or. against the League;"-
since the contest between its friend-56
and opponents is so bitter that ' at"
our distance we can hardly judge»
impartially; but there are a few
facts that are fundamental that .
should be more generally known.- "
Whether the outcome is for 
against the League as an organizaa;
tion, there is being. staged in North
Dakota one of the ﬁercest and most
dramatic struggles that has even"
been led by farming people who Seek
to better conditions under which
they live and work. "

a small apartment on the corner of
one~of the city’s most prominent
~avenues, very noisy and very ex-
.pensive. I lived there two years
and knew only the woman in the
apartment next to me. We were not
intimate but out of the loneliness of
our hearts we spoke and smiled at
_each other whenever we met. ‘ Our
apartment was one of ten. I never
feund" what thepeople in the other
apartments looked like. There
were clubs and social affairs but.
they did not interest me for I knew
no one. and was not invited to join
anything. My world was within my
four walls and the days were long
waiting for my husband to return
for dinner in the evening. This
surely was not my niche and I was
very lonely and unhappy.

We are now living in a town of
about ten thousand. We have a
.circle of friends. I belong to sev-
eral clubs and take an active part
in the civic and social affairs of our
small city. Have a home of our own

A FEW MORE RE EOLLECTIONS
HE HOME of Wm. E. Gladstone
is near Chester on the river Dee

= = (famous in song) and also that
. of,;the Duke of Westminster, at that
time England’s richest landlord,
whose place we visited. Thegrounds
about the residence are very beauti-
‘ fui, sloping down. in terraces to the
:river Dee, with the Welsh mount-
ains in the distance. The interior of
the residence almost baffles descrip-
tiOn; in'no other place did we see
such magnificence. We wandered
through the rooms for hours, lost‘in
admiration and wonder, trying to re-
alize how it would seem to live in
such a place amid sculpture in car-
.rara marble paintings by old mast-
ers, rare tapestries, tables with'tops
of solid amethyst and countless oth-
er rich and beautiful things. The li-
_ .brary, an immense room, was ﬁnish—
ed in American black walnut inlaid
with boxwood and mother-of—pearl.

sang and spoke pieces. Then We made
lemonade and popped some corn. We

but one way, and that is byweating
away all the tender portions. of the

very ground." The more important
and by far the most conspicuous in-
jury is always inflicted by the nearly
full—grown caterpillar, whose greed
and capacity for food are almost
unbelievable. The pupa takes no
food. The moth sublsists principally
upon I the nectar gathered from
flowers. ,' , ,

The army worm feeds by prefer-
ence upon grasses, both wild and
cultivated; next, upon the grasslike
grains, such .as- the several varieties
of millet, which suffer severely dur-
ing outbreaks '0f--the insect. Wheat
in its unripe stages, corn, oats and
rye seem to be preferred in the or-
der named. ‘ '.

Generally speaking, outbreaks of
the true army worm are more com-
mon following cold, backward
springs and should be looked for
ﬁrst in neglected portions of ﬁelds,
upon which rank growth of wild
grassesv‘or lodged,-and fallen unripe
grain are to be found, These should
be examined frequently and closely,

of the ground under the sheltering
overhanging leaf'gblades. ‘

’3 Life History _

The army worm; like many other
common insectjpests, has four'forms
or stages as follows: First, the par-
ent moths nor millers, which seek out.
rankly growing-grass or grasslike
grains, such as millet, upon which
they lay their eggs. From these
eggs hatch the little caterpillars or
“worms” which feed and grow rap—
idly. When full-grown they shed
theirskins and change to the brown
pupa or resting stage, usually be-
neath the surface of the soil. From
these pupae come the parent moths,
which in turn mate and-“lay their
eggs, thus providing for another
brood of caterpillars. There are us-
ually three generations of caterpil-

 lars in any one year, but seldom or
rn'eyer-t two ,zs-uccessive outbreaks

in
anY.=sii-en1:109cl,iitrcI   ,  _ .

.The eggs "re laid by the parent
moths at night, usually ln'the fold-
ed blades or under the leaf sheats of'
grains and ~vgrasses. These resemble

As the young Worms grow and 
feed, their skins become too small
for them, so presently they split and I
are shed, and the caterpillars begin
feeding more greedin than ever.
This occurs several times during the 5
life of the caterpillar; until the"
worm becomes full-grown. Theytime'
required for full growth is from 37"?
to 4 weeks, A The full-grown. army ._
-worm is 'a nearly .rnake‘d, smooth,

striped caterpillarfabout 1 1—2 in-

che‘s- long. Its gen’er-al‘color isms-

‘ually greenish, and the stripes, one  '

along each side andva broad one
down the center of the
dark and often nearly black. The f
stripe alone the back usually has 'a.
ﬁne light colored, broken stripe run-
nin-g'down its center. The color cf
the body between the dark stripes
‘varies from'greenish to reddish v
brown. The head is greenish brown
speckled with black.

such is the case the caterpillars mass 

together-and crawl away in a body
in search of other food. It is this,
'habit which has gained for the in.
sect the popular name of “army
worm." 'The massing together of

the worms affords the farmer an op; :
portunity .of destroying them in
‘great‘ quantities by mechanical
methods described later. When the
full-grown caterpillars cease feeding

efforts seem to be a failure. I will ex:
plain to you just how its acts. At ﬁrst";

move. It was on its mother until :_the,.
milk was ﬁt to use. Then ‘1 fed it the,
good milk but it seemed after it was 10 '
days or 2 weeks old that .it would not
drink any. more. It kept getting \ve‘akef.
each day. I gavenit 2 tablespoonsfiﬂ" of v
castor or] twice; one dose peach ’daYéw
Still its bowels would not move properly;
:'l‘hen I gave it 2 tablespoonsful o salts.
That did the work. I put a li-tt e salt-i
peter in"the salts. For :a time it ‘did
ﬁne. was lively and drank good,
now it seems to nave a cold.
its head with camnhorated oil “but' I"
notice it has a rattling in the throat as"
if its cold was lOOSP, but it has no ap-
