Life History Of Southern Horn Worm.

co farmer estimates that from 80 to
so per cent. of the money value of his
crop is annually lost through the de-
structive work of insects. The larger
part of this injury is. however, pre-
ventable if the farmer will only en-
ploy the proper methods.
Commencing with the sowing of
seeds in the spring. successive waves
Of insects pass over the seed bed and
over the field Of growing tobacco. The
plants that are left for seed have their
pods devoured by insects and the
suckers which grow up in the field
after the tobacco is harvested are
riddled by insects, the work of which
is cut short only when the plants are
killed by frost.
Leaves are of course the most i'm
portant part of the tobacco plant and
insects do the most real damage to
the leaves. The aim of the tobacco
farmer is to grow good, first-class
wrappers, as this grade Of tobacco
brings the best price; but tobacco
riddled by flea bugs or with large
holes chewed into it by bud worms OF
horn worms must always be classed
with lower and cheaper grades. The
number of insects injuring the tobac-
CO leaf is large compared with the
numbers that injure other parts of the
tobacco plant. The injury caused to
leaves by insects is largely due to
the fact that these insects are chew
ing insects and eat holes directly
through the leaf. The size of these
holes depends upon the size of the in
sect and the strength of its mouth
parts. The holes range in size from
the minute holes made by flea bugs
to the almost complete destruction Of
the leaf by full-grown horn worms.
Bud worms riddle the leaves before
they have completely unfolded from
the bud. Grasshoppsrs. crickets, tree
crickets and katydids eat larger or
smaller holes in the leaf. The spotted
melon beetle or corn bud worm often
eats small. irregular holes in the leaf
and various worms. such as cutworms
and cabbage loopers. eat larger or
smaller portions of the leaf.
Usually virgin soil is selected for
the seeded and such selection has
but very little influence upon the crop
of insects found in the seeded. The
usual situation is in the woods and a
southeasterly exposure should be Sc
lected. II possible. The plants will
grow much faster II protected in this
way from the cold northern winds
and in this way the plants will, to a
certain extent outgrow the attack Of
insects in the beds. To this end every
care should be taken to see that the
bed is well drained, that the soil is
full Of humus and fertility and that

are to a great extent resistant to in

WEIGHBRIDGE OF
MUCH VALUE
It Enables the Stock Raiser to
Note with Accuracy the Gain
Resulting from Hts Sys-
tenn of Feeding.
(BY w. r. CELEBRITY

We have repeatedly impressed upon
graziers the Importance of using the
weighbridge in buying, even more par
ticularly than in the selling of their
grazing stock.
The official returns indicate that
the system Of weighing live animals
is gradually increasing in favor, al
though it is still far from general and
in some parts is almost unknown.
The practice, however. is more COM
mon in the case of fat stock than in
the buying in of store animals. a re-
suit, no doubt, Of the growing recog-
milton of the fact that the butcher,
who has every facility for testing his
judgment by the weight Of the car
casses of the fattened animals he buys
is in a better position to estimate an.
proximately the weight of a live bull
lock than is the farmer, who perhaps
never knew the exact weight Of an
animal that has passed through his
hands.
There can be no doubt that the av-
erage farmer is at a great disadyan.
tage. as compared with his client, who
is constantly using the weighbridge in
the selling, though not in the buying
of his supplies, and who is in a posi-
ton to apply the experience acquired
In the one transaction to the other
much to his own benefit. e
Experience has proved that the
scales are at least as important In the
buying and selling of store as Of fat
cattle. In certain seasons, indeed. it
Is even more important to know def
nitely the weight Of the former than
the latter. for not only are immature
animals more deceptive In their
weighing capabilities than fattened
stock. but they are subject to mnch
greater fuctuation in market yalne
and as the financial results of the fat.
tening process are largely influenced.
by the buying-in price OF the store an.

suit the weighbridge in season when

How many civilizations Of a crop is
necessary! Well. just as many as the

Auto Trucks for Market.

Auto trucks will doubtless come
into more general use in the market
ing Of vegetables. Market gardening
when conducted on large scale re-
quiTes considerable horse labor and it
is seldom that the work at home does
not suffer when the teams are put on
the road. The greater speed with
which the produce can be hurried to
market is strong point in favor Of
the auto delivery wagons. This meth

good roads and the introduction OF a

A special to the indianapolis News
from Marion, Ind, says that after
hard fight of seventeen years against
competitors who advertised, Gunder
Bros. dry goods merchants, the oldest
mercantile firm in Marion and at one
time the largest retail house in north
ern Indiana, have given up the hope
less struggle and sold out their bust
ness.
When gas was discovered in Marion
the town began to grow rapidly, and
competition in all business was soon
encountered by all the old local mer-
chants. The new merchants adver-
tised, but many Of the old established
firms were slow in believing that 1t
was necessary for them to use print
ers' ink, as they knew nearly every
man in the county. All Of them who
are now in business concluded that it
was necessary to advertise in order to
hold what trade they had and to in
crease it, except Gunder Bros, who
absolutely refused, claiming 1t was
money thrown away. The firm had the
best business site in the city, but the
store was never filed with shoppers.
Thousands passed and repassed the
place day after day without stopping.
The firm carried an excellent line of
goods and treated customers well, but
only few farmers and some of the
old citizens of Marion patronized the
place. The store is now closed for in
voice.
Most merchants now agree that ad-
vcrtising IL a necessity and that the
best medium II the local paper.
