Lsborsrs ~ Farms
One feature OF the problem should
be recognized by the farmer at once
and an effort made to deal with ~
1t is our duty and our business to con
slider the farm iaborer exactly as we
consider the farmer. No country life
can be satisfactory when the owners
Of farms tend. for whatever reason. TO
go away TO live In cities instead of
working their farms. and. moreover. ft
cannot be really satisfactory when the
labor system is 90 managed that there
is for part OF the year demand for
labor which cannot be met and during
another part of the year no demand
for labor at all, 80 that the farmers
tend to rel.- on migratory laborers who
come out to work in the country with
no permanent interest in II and with
no prospect OF steady employment
1t Is exceedingly difficult to make a
good citizen out of man who can't
count upon some steadlness and con-
tinulty ip the work which means to
him his livelihood. Economic condi-
tions on the farm--in variety and kind
Of crop growing especially as distribut-
cd in time and in housing for the men
must be so shaped as to render 1t
possible for the man who labors for
the farmer to be steadily employed un-
der conditions which foster his self re-
spect and tend tor his development.
Above all. the conditions Of farm life
must always be shaped with view to
the welfare of the farmers wife and
the farm laborer's wife quite as much
as to the welfare Of the farmer and
the farm laborer. To have the woman
n mere drudge is at least as bad as tn
have the man a mere drudge. II is ev-
cry whit as important to introduce
new machines to economic her labor
within the house as 1t Is TO introduce
machinery to increase the effectiveness
of his labor outside the house.

performance of duty and fixes atten-

The woman who shirks her duty as

man is contemplate creature. But
the welfare of the woman Is even more

But the average American woman
does not shirk them. and 1t is matter
of the highest obligation for us TO see
that they are performed under condl-
tions which make for her welfare and

happiness of the children she brings

LITTLE POTATO BEETLE PEST
lnsecticide Recommended That viii
Stand Considerable Wet Weather
and Do Good Work.
cBy s ARTHUR JOHNSON. coLoRA-

GBY S ARTHUR JOHNSON. CoLoRA-
DO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGED
The potato beetle is such a com
mon pest that a description scarcely
seems necessary. but since other in
sects are often mistaken for it, 1t may
be well to give a brief account of 1t.
The adult beetle is oval in form, about
three-eights of an inch in length, and
just q little narrower than long. The
ground color is yellow. The upper
wings are marked by ten black lines
running iengthwise.
The adults live over winter in the
ground to the depth of six to ten
inches or more.
In the spring the beetles appear
about the time that the potatoes
break from the ground. and in a few
days the egg laying begins. The eggs
are bright yellow in color and are
laid in patches on the under sides of
the leaves. They are very easily dis
covered by simply turning over the
vines with the hands so that the under
sides Of the leaves are exposed. Ev-
Gi9 DOldlO 6ibNtl HllbHlu Iluht IL SIS-
tematic examination of the vines by
passing through his fields and turning
over the leaves of two or three hills
in each row.
The eggs hatch in from four to
eight days, according TO the tempera,
tufe. The larvae are dark red grubs
with black heads. For the first day
or two they often eat the surface OF
the leaf upon which they were
Matched. Then they migrate to the
top of the plant and feed upon the
young tender leaves which are just
unfolding.
The ideal moment for the first
spray is just when the eggs are be
ginning to hatch. Fortunately, We
now have an insecticide which will
stand considerable wet weather and
still leave enough clinging to the
leaves to do very effective work. This
is a~rsenate of lead.
This poison usually comes in the
form of a white paste, though some
manufacturers make a powdered
product. The arsenical is applied tc
the vines in water at the rate of six
or eight pounds of the poison to a
hundred gallons of water, or about
three or four pounds to the barrel
The best way to mix the poison is
to weigh out the required amount in q
pail, pour in some water, and mix
thoroughly with a stick. Pour off the
top OF the mixture into the barrel OF
water through a screened funnel. Add
more water to the remainder in the
pail, mix. and proceed as before until
all the substance has been dissolved
The best method of application, es.
pecially in large fields, is by means
