EVERY farmer who has fifty acres needs
man to help on the farm, while farmers
with more acres need more than one man
Tho main reason so many farms are adyer-
tised for sale is because of the scarcity Of
help, and this is growing worse year b.

men looking for employment at any wages
By rough, wicked hired men many a

co, TO swear and drink, and started on the
downward road to destruction, II all right
minded farmers would make morality a
requisite in hired men-as leading railroad
companies insist on sobricty IN their en-
ployes-many agricultural helpers TO whom
the above objections apply would mend their
ways, as a matter Of policy.
THERE are in America over 100000
farms, large and small They cover nearly
100000 acres of improved land, and their
total valueis something like $4,000, 100000.
These figures are not, of course, very com
prehensive. They simply convey the idea
of vastness of area and equal vastness Of

Why Fruit-Growers Should Wage Com.
mon War Against the Pest.
A number of years ago John Dixon.
an Iowa farmer discovered the
method of destroying the Goblin moth
by spraying the apple trees, at the
close of the blossoming period, with
arseHical poisOns dissolved in water.
To him and 10 Prof A. J. Cook, who
has done more than any one else in
making the method generally known,
the fruit-grOwers of this country are
deeply indebted.
The annual total loss to fruit
growers on account of the ravages OF
the Goblin moth aud other insects
amounts TO millions In some sec.
tions, success in fruit culture is nc
longer possible without an unremit-
ing warfare against the insect pests.
to such an extent have they increased.
The method advised by Prof Cook
is very simple. cheap and effective.

plication is made just when the bloom
drops. and another two weeks later
The success attending extensive ex-
perimenis made the past two or three
years has caused quite a demand for
spraying machines, and there are q
number of inventions on the market
this season that do thu work thor
oughly.
The suggestion is offered that the
farmers and fruit growers of each
neighborhood form combine and
wage common war against the COM
mon enemy. The larger machines
could be purchased and men employed
to do the work thoroughly. spraying
