Timothy MEADOWS.

FALL Treatment Of Wheatfields and
Timothy Meadows.
Reports are coming to the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station complain
ing of serious ravages OF the Hessian
fly In wheatfields. In many cases 1t Ia
being claimed that among the enrly
sown fields hardly n plant has escaped
attack. The question Is frequently ask.
ed whether 1t will pay to resow ut this
late date. In all cases where the first
sowing has been destroyed by the fly
the ground should DO rprlowed before
sowing. In fact, 1t may lr said that II
fields have been mvngpd past ali posi-.
billty OF securing Il profitable crop neXt
year such fields should be l,lowpd this
fall or very early next spring. prefern-
bly, the former. 1t IL probably too late
now to risk resolving this fnll. but 1t
must be understood that /; left above
ground the fly will develop In these
fields next spring and 70 to other fields
to work Its lnvagps.
AS to how seriously II field must be
infested to warrant plow.ing under this
fall. that Is II matter that cnciI farmer
must settle for himself. If the soil IL
rich and the weather during fall and
spring very favorable for plant growth
the grain will yet send up Il second
gro"j IA OF tlllers this fall. which. II
they withstand the winter. with Il very
favorable spring. Will supply enough
straw to produce lmrt Of II crop. But
the risk ~ Elt:l. and no one not on the
ground can safely advise in tnr'mntter.
Late own wheat Is escaping very
largely the fall attacks Of the fly. but
the close proximity to II seriously in
jured field will enlnnger even Il late
sown field to attack next spring unless
the early sown field IL plowed under
before the adult flies appear.
In western and southern Ohio chinch
bugs winter largely among matted
grass. fallen leaves and other rubbish.
They also winter ver In great num-
bers In shocks of corn fodder. left out
In the fields owe winter. and outbreaks
In whentfields. even where sown among

to such shocks standing out over win
ter among the wheat. Shocks Of corn
or fodder should be drawn In from off
the wheatfelds this fall. When posi-.
BILE to do so. all matted grass. fallen
leaves or other rubbish bordering on
wheattields should be burned between
this date and May I next.
In the timothy meadows Of northern
and northeastern Ohio. where the tim
omthy grass has this year been de-
stroyed. examination should be made
about the roots OF the grass along the
margins Of such areas Of destruction.
II chinch bugs are found. they can be
prevented from doing further injury
next spring by blowing the ground
quite deeply now. which will place
them SO far below the surface that
they will be destroyed and thus pre-
vented from continuing their ravages
next year. In timothy meadows the
pest must be looked for just below the
surface Of the ground about the bulb

lands, which the female seems to Sc.

that the patches Of black soil among

ADVICE TO 0 M DOCTORS.
Chinese Minister Says They Should
Go to the Orient and Learn
Medicine.

WI Ting Fang, the new Chinese min.
lister to the United States, is a veritable
genius. Besides being accomplished in
Chinese literature, and a statesman Of
rare ability, he is a linguist and a phil
osopher, says a Washington exchange.
He was the principal attraction at the
recent commencement of the Woman's
Medical college in Philadelphia, and, Of
course, was set down for a speech.
"Since / came to this country" he said,
81 have met women doctors, lawyers
and journalists, but until 1 received
the invitation to make this address it
had never occurred to me the women
had advanced so far as to have an in
stitution exclusively devoted to the
training of women for the medical pro-
fession.
II am particularly interested in this
institution, because-of the Chinese girl,
who, after studying here, returned to
her native land, where she has. since
made a great success. In China it is
generally believed that there is one
sphere for women and another for men.

for ages. I am glad that women have
gained such a position in the medical
profession that they cannot be re-
moved.
"There are medical works in the Chi.
nese language containing medical
knowledge gained from the experience
and practice of long ages. 1t is a great
pity that this contribution of knowl-
edge cannot be available to the whole
world because of the great difference
in language. The Chinese attach great
value to the practice of medicine. If
the good people of the European ma
tons and of America had sent only med
ical missionaries to China, missionary
troubles would happen rarely. If you
we're to ask my advice to-day, young
ladies', I should say with Horace Gree
ley; go west, young lady, stop not
on this side of the Pacific, but go I'M
til you arrive in China. Go to China,
if you find this country too crowded
in your profession. There is room
enough and work enough there for all"

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.


Electricity has just been applied to
the making Of cigarettes and cut to-
bacco, and hundreds of hand workers
win eventually be displaced by the
innovation.
South Carolina is now manufacture
ing al the cotton she produces. North
Carolina, Georgia and other southern
states r also turning out a large
part of their cotton in finished goods.
To-day there r a dozen large mills
and 175 lace-making machines in the
United States. These machines rep
resent an invested capital of nearly
$3,000,OOO, and turn out annually
100000 pairs Of curtains, valued at
$40, 100000.
Pennsylvania's coal output is great
er than that of all other parts of the
country combined, equal in quantity
to the mine returns to Great Britain,
and larger than is taken from the
mines Of all nations insthe world ex.
eept the United Kingdom.
The Academy of Natural Sciences
which claims the distinction of hav-
ing been the first scientific body tc
issue a publication in the United
States, is shortly to resume the dis.
tribution of its proceedings in print,
ed form. It's earliest publication was
an octave journal, begun in 1917, and
continued until 1912.
It a we1l44-established fact that
plants can be improved by crossing
and iudicious selection quite as sure,
ly and effectively as the breeding OF
animals. The sugar beet may be
quoted as an example of what Guilt
walton may do. The sugar beet Of
to-day actually contains about three
times as large a proportion of sac
charine matter as it did a century
ago.
The average dietary of individuals
in different countries varies greatly
An English statistician, MI. R. F
Crawford, finds that an inhabitant Of
the United Kingdom consumes much
more meat than a Belgian, French
man or German, but in smaller pro
portion of bread and potatoes, More
bread and less meat are eaten in Bel
GUM. than in any other country con
sidered, while a French popularity is
the apparent small use of milk.

The demand for old, high backma-

large.
There are more beautiful and cost
~ illustrated trade catalogues issued

Experience in the Russian winter

A gold mine has been located on

Good chairs r the most difficult
pieces Of old furniture to find. They
receive harder use than other pieces
OF furniture, and consequently wear
out quicker.
A wedding ring should fit the fin
ger. If it is too large it is a sign Of
shallowness of purpose. If too tight
it suggests that the union pinches
somehow. A perfect fitting ring is
symbolic Of a perfect harmonious
union.
