THE WOOD NYMPH.

A Beautiful Inaect which IL Said to Thrive
ON Grape Vines.
This has often be en- mentioned as al
enemy to grape vines, usually in con-
nection with Alypia octomaculata, an
allied genus, on account of the very
close resem blance between the larva
of the two moths.
The moth of the Eudryas G: alta is
among the most beautiful of the Lepi-
doptera, with its pleasing contrasts OF
white. soft brown. purplish, green ard
yellow. Perfect spccimens-unless bred
ARE seldom seen, however, as it is q
night flier.
The eggs and Larvae are also very
pretty, the former being delicateiy
sculptured and the latter ornamented
with alternating bands of blush and
red orange. the hluish bands marked
off and the orange bands dotted with
black.
The food plant Of the Larvae is usually
grape, varied occasionally by ampelop-
sis or Virginia creeper.
1t is seldom abundant enough to do
much injury, though, according to DR..
Lintner, Alypia often proves serious
pest while Eudryas is rare. Here, in
Iowa, Alypia is very seldom met with
while Eudryas is comparatively COM
mon and in favorable seasons might

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The price of farm land is going to be
higher. The unoccupied lands of Uncle
Sans domain will soon te used up, and
the people are growing land hungry.
Those who can hold on had better no.
sacrifice in order to sell. This is trueil
general way; of course, it is not OF
universal application.
The large farm has had its day and
has got to go. Taxes are too high to
pay on unproductive lands. Small
areas and the intensive system of farm

dition of American farmers than un-
limited legislation. Intensive farm

EquaIizing Wealth.

A. M. Rich, of Sebago Lake, Me-,
writes to say that in replying to his
question as to the equalizing of wealth,
we did not understand him. He has no
desire to equalize possessions regard
less of service, but believing that Bar
mum and Stewart collected more wealth
than they had produced, he felt that
somebody had been impoverished, and
he asks how the single tax can afford .
remedy for such cases
In this way: General demand for
labor products is the employer of an
labor. Land is the storehouse to which
labor must resort to obtain labor pro-
ducts. Land is now largely held out Of
use. This appropriation gives a scarcity
value to land, and labor is forced to
pay for access, even to the poorest.
Thus all labor is impeded, and many
laborers are completely locked out.
employers who can unlock natures
storehouse by paying the price to its
owners This in turn makes such q
glut in the labor market that labor is
cheapened. The demands of laborers
being a very large proportion of the
general demand for labor products, the
cheapening of labor materially dimin-
ishes the effective demand of laborers
for labor products This falling off of
demand for products causes falling
off of the demands of employers for
labor. Laborers nevertheless, need
employment, and the competition for
opportunities to work becomes keener,
still further cheapening labor, and con-
sequently still further lessening the
effective demand for products There
is, therefore, a downward tendency of
labor value, which enables men like
Barnum and Stewart to get rich, just
as Mr.. Rich sees it, through the impov-
erishment of their employees
Now, if the single tax were applied 1t
would be Improbable to own land ex-
cept to use it Hence, unused land
would be put to use. which would in
crease the demand of employers for la
Dor, or be abandoned. which would
widen the opportunities of laborers to
employ themselves. The first effect of
that would be an increase of employers
wanting to hire labor, decrease of Ia
borers wanting to be hired, conse.
quent rise in wages. and resulting
increase of demand for labor products.
This increase of demand for products
would still further increase the demand
for labor; that would further increase
the price of labor; and that would make
renewed demands for labor products
The action and reaction, now, GER.
tainly tend to lessen wages and de-
crease demand for products. Under the
single tax the action and reaction would
constantly tend to raise wages and in
crease the demand for products And
just as now the Barnums and the Stew
arts get rich through the impoverish-
ment of their employees. they and their
employees together would get rich un-
der the operation of the single tax; for
competent men would not sell their
services below their value which would
tend constantly upwards. The proba.
bility is that in such cases every en-
ploye would have an interest in the
business commensurate with his con.
tributions to its success-in other words.

They then descend to the ground and
either enter the earth to pupate, or, if
pieces of board, wood, sticks or trellis
are in the vicinity they often gnaw into
them a cavity large enough to admit
half of the body, covering the outer
half with sawdust stuck together with
gummy secretion.
Packard mentions this wood boring
habit as occasional, but in my expert
ence it has been more common than
the usual (Packard) method of enter
ing the ground. Especially is this true
