DID IT HURT your
A Question Often Out 90 Place and %


The old hymn In Sam Taylor's
"0riginal Poems" beginning with "Who
Ran to Help Me When Fell?" ought
to hnve provisional clause added to 1t.
The person who hastens to help suf-
ferer who has been shocked by fall
should not shy single word. OF
course, says the Philadelphia Record,
the benevolent bystander Is brimful OF
questions: "where are you hurt?''
Have you sprained your ankle?" and
lastly the insane request to know
whether you can fall down fight of
70 steps or from pinzza ten feet above
ground and not be damaged any more
than II you had thrown yourself on q
down pillow only n foot awayl OF
course you are hurt; and the nerve
shock Is so great that any sort Of ques-
ton, even II "they" shall fetch hot wa
ter, Is an additional blow to the nervous
system. You are suffering, perhaps,
too much to speak; yet they pelt you
with questions while every power of
your body Is endeavoring to regain self
control. You ought not to answer.
You would like to scream that at
hurts" hundred times more for being
summoned TO speak and to diagnose
yourself. All instructions in the line
Of First aid to the injured" should
begin with: "Be perfectly silent when
YOU run to lift or help person who has
fallen and is still partly dazed with the
tremendous shock" Let 1t be for the
sufferer to say: "Oh, my head!" or
"Oh, my leg, or back!" He will indicate
rs soon as II is necessary the injured
part; but meanwhile you IRE driving
him nearly frantic by asking about It.
These simple yet important directions
do not seem to be impressed upon the
average helpful mind. Tact, of all
things, is rs necessary as knowledge
of tourniquet made from stick and
n pocket handkerchief. Hot water, of
course, is required for all bruises and
spralns; but let It be brought without
asking. The relief to the victim OF an
accident in having swift and noiseless
helpers about him or her-absolutely ST.
lent, yet knowing exactly what to do
Is very great. Anyone who "has been
there" knows II all. Yet how quickly
Is 1t forgotten when we run to lift up
else, and begin to pelt him
with: "Where did it hurt you?" "Are
you hurt?"

SATURDAY, JANUARY io.
Clover VS.. Chlnch Bugs.

EDITOR KANSAS FARMER Il wan
to make return for some of TIT
good things l. have received
through your columns by giving {
couple of items of experience thn
may benefit some of your readers.
Chinch bugs are bad in our sec
ton of the state and all fields Of
small grain are full of them, yet
have some ninety acres of oats, sit
uated on three different quarters oil
land, and some fields two miles
apart, and fields all around them
full of bugs--even my own corn
fields are being eaten up by them
and yet my oat fields have not a
bug in them. attribute this TO the
fact that l sowed with all my oats n
peck of red clover aud timothy
mixed and have heavy stand n
foot high. Of course, the timothy
is no help, but the bugs won't
touch clover, and evidently it's pres
ence is 80 distasteful to them that
they won't work OH anything where
it is. have noticed before this
year that when they were eating up
timothy meadows around me they
did not touch my meadows. which
were timothy and clover mixed.
The lesson to me is to SOW clover
with all small grain. Those who
do not want the clover for pasture
or hay can get big return on the
investment by blowing under the
clover in the fall.
l would like tie experience of
others who may have had clover
with small grain, as to whether
they had chinch bugs in il. The
infection method has not been a
success here. / have saved the
corn where the bugs were coming
to ii from grain fields by making
narrow line of salt and dampening
it with kerosene, of which ii takes
very little, but the line must be un.
broken, and eternal vigilance must
be the watchword. l cannot help
feeling enthusiastic over the clover
guard. which is cheaply and easily
got and never sleeps. If it proves
IL never-failing preventive, as l be-
lieve it will, some genius must get
us up planter that will drill lii
lie clover seed in the row with the
corn and save that. 1t would grow
slow early and never interfere at all
with the corn.
My next item is experience with
Dwarf Essex rape. / sowed five
acres last July which made "a fine
growth and lived through the will
ter. Not expecting much from it
this year, 1 seeded the ground to
and clover broadcast, and
run the harrow over it. The har-
started the rape TO growing
and it made an immense growth
and we have saved many bushels
of very fine seed, which we have
sown this month and il is growing
much better than our imported
seed did. l believe there il a great
future for the rape plant in our
state TO fatten stock in the fall when
our pastures are apt to be dry. For
use in July and August il can be
sown as soon as the ground is
warm in the spring, or can be sown
for later use after wheat or oats. Ii
will grow rapidly on any Ian | that
will grow corn or turnips.-E. ID.
