"Vine Day" in Washington.

The public schools in Washington
have just observed what is called
vine day" for the first time. 1t came
about through the inspiration of Miss
Susan B. Sipe, instructor of botany in
the Washington Normal school, who
proposed such action, Ito beautify all
back fences that abutted on the
streets, and on those alleys which are
generally used as thoroughfares. by
having vines of different kinds plant
ed on either side" The project was
promptly Endorsed by the local board
of education. The climate of the cap
ital city is we'll adapted to promote
the growing of vines.

and other grasses. The northern form
does more injury to corn, although
during last year the beetles of the
southern form were extremely com.
mon in Iowa. Since the northern corn
root-worm has practically only one
food plant, corn, in it's grub stage,
there need be no especial difficulty in
avoiding its ravages. A mere change
of crops will bring relief. With the
southern form the problem is more
difficult, but it is usually not the
southern root-worm which does the
really serious damage in this state.
Where either the plain green beetle
or the black spotted n were seer in
very large numbers feeding on the
silks of the corn last fall, it is an in.
dicat!on that a corn field on the same
piece of ground will be infested with
the root-worms this year. Those fields
should be planted to some other crop
than corn. and the corn put on a diff
ferent field. Where a proper rota.
ton of crops is put into effect there
need be little trouble with these root.

BOTH FOND OF LITTLE ONES,
Liking for Children Is a Trait That
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey Have
in Common.

One Of the most pleasant traits of
character which distinguish both Ad-
miral Dewey and his wife is their love
Of children. A pretty book could be
written on the admirals boy friends.
A remarkable thing is, however en-
thusiastic the small boys are over the
hero Of Manila, as soo as they get to
know Mrs. Dewey we'll they transfer
their allegiance. The admiral good.
naturally does not resent this rivalry.
One of his closest chums in recent
years was his next-door .neighbor,
Charlie Taft, younger son of the presi-
dent. Charlie was so impressed with
living so near Admiral Dewey that he
conf1ded to him his wish to enter the
navy. He had little regard for the
land defense, though his father was its
executive head. He would drop in
casually almost every day, and when
the admiral went for a drive he would
invariably be out in front to give him
an adoring glance. On some red-letter
days, he went behind the flying Vir-
glnia horses and drank in the joys of
hVlng. But he o o. began to seek
Mrs. Dewey and to confide in her also.
When the Taft household was dis
banded last June and the household
goods scattered it was to Mrs. Dewey
he confided all his treasured collec.
tons of pictures and flags and tags
and medals. His soul ~revolted at the
thought of their going to a mere
storage house. When Charlie came
back from school on the memorable
occasion when his father was inaugu.
rated president one of his first visits
vas to Mrs. Dewey.

Mrs. Taft an Ardent Lover of Music,

One day the women visitors to the
White House had a treat in a peep
into the executive dining room. They
had opportunity to observe presiden-
tial methods of arranging the luncheon
table; instead of the old-fashioned
cloth there were many little doilies at
the round table-the ladies will know
just how important this fashion has
become in domestic economy. The
Steinway piano that adorns the east
oom was discovered to be much more
than a mere ornament when Mrs. Taft
was heard playing upon it. The new
mistress of the White House is a fine
pianist and an ardent lover of music,
and mistress of the science of home.

worm is green, with - black spots on
it's back. On this account of it may be
easily distinguished from the other
form. 1t is also somewhat larger than
the plain green beetle, measuring
about a quarter of an inch long. The
black spots are in three rows across
the back of the BEETLE, each row with
four spots. Usually these beetles are
found along with the plain green
beetles on the silks of the corn, but
they are not SO common. The black
spotted BEETLES are found not only in
the fall, but all through the season
from early spring as well. There
seems to be at least two broods of
them during the year
The life history of the southern
corn root-worm is similar to that of
the northern form, except that it is
passed through in a much shorter
time. In the corn fields the eggs are
deposited in the ground near the
stalks.
Corn is practically the only fooo
plant of the northern root-worm. 1t
is rarely found in sorghum. On the
other hand, the southern root-worms
have been found in wheat, rye, millet,

The corn rOOt-wOrms are undOubted-
ly the most serious insect pests with
which the Iowa corn grower has to
contend. The presence of root-worms
In a field is usually indicated by a
whitening Of the young plants, the
failure to produce we'll developed
ears, or a general %retarding of the
growth without any visible cause. A
search among the roots of such stalks
may bring to notice the tiny root
worms.
The root-worms themselves are
small, slender white grubs, about half
an inch long when they are full
grown. Infested stalks of corn may be
pulled out easily and will break off at
the place where the root-worms are
at work, leaving the greater
part of the roots in the
soil. Frequently stalks infested
by the root-wOrm are blown to the
ground by the wind, the root system
having been go cut off that the stalks
cannot stand the strain. Bowman and
Crossley have shown how a continu-
Gus cropping of corn on the same
ground will very soon increase the
lumber of root-worms to an alarming

extent, and consequently decrease the
yield.
Preventive measures. Rotation of
crops is the most effectual preventive
of root-worms. The beetles of the
root-worms usually deposit their
eggs in the old infested fields. BY
changing the corn from such a field to
another which was not in corn the
preceding year, these eggs are left
behind.
There are two kinds of these
worms; the "northern corn worm
and the "%southern corn root-worm."
Since the habits of the two are very
different in some essential points, a
few further remarks concerning them
are given below. The two are east
ly distinguished in the beetle stage,
when they are commonly found on
the corn silk in the fall.
The northern form Of the root.worm
in it's adult stage is a plain grass
green beetle, about one-fifth of an
inch long. In the fall these small
green beetles are common objects on
the silk OF the corn and the flowers
OF the golden-rod. The spotted beetle

Cuently found along with the plain
green beetle. The beetles deposit
their tiny eggs in the soil lea the
stalks of corn.
The next veal these eggs hatch out
young root-worms which begin to at
tack the corn almost as soon as it is
out of the ground. Throughout the
the summer these northern corr root
worms are at work on the roots, until
the worms become full grown in the
late summer. When they become ma
ture they transform to the pupa, or
resting stage, in which stage they
spend a short time. Finally the plain
green beetle energies from this pupa.
The beetles hen deposit their eggs
for another crop OF root-worms for
the next year. AS far as it is known
there is but one breed of this form in
a season.

Striped Beetles,

Look out for the striped beetles.
They often attack and destroy melons
and cucumbers as fast as the plants
appear above the ground. An applica-
ton of wood ashes, air-slaked lime or
gypsum. tainted with kerosene or tur-
pentine or carbolic acid, will help to
drive them away. If you have only a

A Broad Discrimination.

There is an elder of a certain
church upstate who thinks that things
are only half done or not we'll started
in which he has no voice. At a
prayer meeting he offered thanks for
the safe return from their vacation
of the minister and his wife. With
proper dignity and in a loud voice he
said: 20 Lord, we thank thee for
bringing our pastor safe home, and
his dear wife, too, o Lord, for thou
