A little help is worth a lot of talk
about happiness.
New paths are the best penance for
old wanderings.
In many a burden is hidden the
blessing of strength.
Poverty cannot be cured by making
charity a pastime.
Weakness is the secret of the main
tenance of mastery.
No man ever succeeded in preaching
truth by acting lie.
You do not have to empty your
mead to fill your heart.
The only way to keep kindness is
to keep 1t in circulation.
People who are self-satisfied are not
always of a contented mind.
You cannot reach the Divine by
climbing up on your dignity.
Some men seem to think that re-
penting of borrowing pays the debt.
They who do their own work well
do not need to speak i'll of another's.
The power of the preacher is in
inverse ratio to his professionalism.
If you are picking all your pleas

of the bugs, together with the bugs
themselves, by deep blowing. Chinch
bugs fly in the fall to bunch-grass,
their natural food before crops were
introduced, to pass the winter. Not
finding the grass, they will hibernate
in any shelter that may be at hand.
During April they fly back to the
crops to mate and deposit their eggs.
Generally the wheat is in prime con-
dition for them at this time, and 1T
is the crop that suffers most when
the eggs hatch and the young bugs
begin to feed. Of course the great
est damage is done later when the
broods become very numerous and
begin to migrate to new fields. The
crop moved upon at that time is the
one to save.
2. Plant a trap crop" to protect
the main crop, and when the bugs
move upon the trap, plow the whole
under, bugs and all. This method has
given good results. The trap crop
may be millet, Kafir, or sorghum, and
should be on the side of the field
nearest TO the wheat.
8. Plow a space of ten feet around
the cornfield when the bugs begin to
leave the wheat, harrow and drag
with brush to make as much dust as
possible. This can be done only IN
dry weather. Small, immature bugs
will not be able to cross the ten feet
of dust, and the mature ones will
seldom resort to flying.
4. Later in the season, when the
insects move upon the corn, few
rows cut and piled in armful-sized
piles will attract the chinch bugs, and
if It is warm and the corn heats,
thousands of bugs will die under these
piles from a chinch-bug disease, The
piles OF green corn offer the ideal
weather conditions, hot and damp, the
disease being naturally present soon
"takes," and the result is the death
of all bugs affected.
Do not attempt TO destroy the
chinch bug by spraying. 1t has been
tried at the experiment station and
by numerous farmers, with the same
unsuccessful results. A few more
tests will be made with sprays, and
the results given if successful. But
until then the farmer has adequate
means at hand to materially lessen
the damages by this pest, by using
the above methods.
To repeat: BY all means plant
trap crop and pillow it under when
the bugs move upon it in great num-
bers. Pillow dust strip and lay piles
of green cut corn or sorghum in the
path of the migrating bugs. Then
finally, begin next winter to save
your wheat crop, by cleaning up all
places where chinch bugs could hide
away and pass the winter months.

SOIL MOISTURE.
To Prevent Evaporation the Surface
of the Ground Must Be Kept
Powdered.

There are still many persons who
do not exactly understand that it is
good practice to plow corn during dry
weather in order to preserve the
moisture already in the soil. | have
in mind field of corn that was free
of weeds, and the ground in such fine
condition that / was told the corn
did not need, nor would it stand. more
blowing. But l went ahead and
plowed half the field for tne last time.
In a few weeks l was in the field
again and noticed that the corn
plowed in dry weather had made de-
cidedly the best growth. l could not
lay the cause to anything else than
that the stirring of the ground had
assisted in reserving the moisture, for
the ground was already in good con-
dition when plowed the last time. Fur
Their investigation has proved this to
be the fact.
believe that wrong impressions are
sometimes obtained by some persons
who have plowed corn in dry weather
when the ground was hard, and evil
IDENTIFY had a bad effect on the corn,
causing the blades to roll. The mis-
take was in permitting the ground to
get hard, as under such condition the
ground cannot be worked without in
jury to the roots of the corn. Besides
this the clods leave openings which
facilitate the evaporation of moisture.
A good coat of fine dirt over the sur
face of the ground will prevent this.
It is well known that water. is con-
stantly evaporating. In other words,
it is taken up in a finely divided form.
carried to the surface of the ground
and given off into the air. At times
it may be well that this is true, for
it gives the plant chance Of relief
from an occasional oversupply OF
moisture. But in case of drought it
is necessary to prevent evaporation.
This can be done by stirring the
ground, leaving a mulch of finely pull
verified dirt on the surface. Then the
moisture, instead of escaping, is taken
up by the roots of the growing plant
To secure this condition it is neces-
sary that the ground be stirred as
soon after rain as the ground will
permit. If, says the Orange Judd
Farmer, a heavy rain comes right
away after the corn has been plowed
the last time, it will be necessary, in
the event of a dry spell following, to
stir the ground again if the size of the
corn will permit. If the corn is large
enough to shade the ground pretty
well, the evaporation will not be so
great, and the heavy dews will also
be more effective.
In preparing ground for oats, or
other plants with shallow roots, the
ground should not be stirred too deep
If dry weather is expected, as the
moisture will be shut off too far down
to be of benefit.

Dat Hay for Roughage.

At times when the hay crop is
short, oats may be grown and har-
vested before the grain is mature and
cured for coarse fodder. The plan,
however, is not an ideal one for MAX
ing hay, as the stalks are hollow,
coarse and hard, and unless dried
very quickly in a dry season, they be-
come bleached, even when cut green.
To cure the crop in best condition il.
says Orange Judd Farmer, should be
dried in the sun for h few hours with
liberal use of the hay tedder. where
there is heavy crop

REMEDIES FOR. cHINcH BUG
Fighting This Pest by Disease Inoc-
ulation Has Not Proved Sue
cessful.

Spreading chinch-bug disease has
not proved very successful in Okla
homa. At one time it was thought
that perhaps by the spreading of an
infection that this pest could be sue
cessfully eradicated, but experience
has proved that warm, moist weather
is necessary for the spread of the
disease. On the other hand, cool dry
weather is unfavorable and no infec-
ton occurs. The authorities at the
Oklahoma station point out that there
are four means by which the farmer
can protect himself from the chinch
bug. These are given in the follow
ing:

early spring, all the winter quarters

five-eighths-inch holes are bored in
either end, IL inches from center. An
other fve-eighths inch hole is bored
a third of the distance between the
two, or four inches from the other.
These holes should be bored so as to
give the greatest drawing surface on
the side of draft A long evener is
fastened at the lower end with white
trees for the outside horses, and a
singletree fastens to the upper hole
for the center horse. The hook or
clevis used for the attachment of the
single-tree should be long enough to
bring it out in line with the whiffie
trees on the evener below, The Whit
fie-trees should be of ordinary plow
length or just long enough to swing
clear Of each other If they are too
long they are sure to prove trouble
some.

Quality Of Skin.

Some men fail to understand why
the quality of the skin of cow counts
for anything. 1t is because the mel
low skin denotes an animal that has
the quality of making good use of her
feed provided she has been well fed.
The skin is thus we'll nourished and
the result is that it is soft and pliable,
and the hair also is after the same
kind. The poorly fed animal will have
a hard skin because it has not been
supplied with the materials to keep it
in the best of condition.
