A ROTATION TEST TO LAST FOR 80 YEARS

portant is the information the agro
nomist seeks.
On the college farm at Manhattan
are 100 plots one-tenth of an acre in
size. These plots are divided into
series of twelve One series will be
planted continually to alfalfa, one in
wheat and one in corn. Three Of the
series Of twelve plots will be used
for a rotation of corn, COW peas and
wheat in the order named. On four
of the series there will be a sixteen
year rotation of alfalfa, wheat and
corn. Each of these series is to con-
tain twelve paintings fortified with
different kinds of fertilizers and with
different applications of barnyard
manure. It may therefore be sixteen
years before Leland z. Call, assistant
professor of soils, shall know the out
come of the work he has begun. He
may have a clue in five years and the
secret may not be disclosed until after
he and everyone in the catalog have
gained their final reward

The decay of French politeness has
become a subject for passing concern
on the part of the French themselves.
It has been frequently remarked by
visitors to France, who have alleged
a change In French manners within
the period Of their recollection, says
the Charleston News and Courier. The
same phenomenon is something al
legged of the weather in New Eng
land. Scientific meteorologists pooh
pooh this. They declare it to be all
out of the question for climate to be
materially affected except by imper-
ceptibIe processes requiring ages to
show results. So as to politeness in
France: some contend that the
change is more apparent than real.
Most of those taking part in the con-
troversy insist or admit it to be a
fact. These urge that the causes be
identified and correctives applied
There is a disposition, Of course, to
attribute it to women, especially ele-

the matter worth serious considera-
ton? Or. rather, should not the
symptom be welcomed? Is not po-
lteness itself a symptom of decay,
like the beauty Of old cathedraIs, the
mellowness of long-stored vintages, or
the art of telling the truth? Man in
a natural state is not remarkable for
good manners and will lie cheerfully
That school which holds that the de-
cadence of a people may be traced
by observing its cultivation of the
habit of telling the truth would prob
ably reason that the diffusion of po-
likeness is in the same way signif-
cant, if less important barometer
of failing physical and intellectual
yirility. A robust entity does not
bother about etiquette.

even the migratory grasshoppers, we
make very little fight against them
when they appear in serious numbers.
Yet there are few of US so slothful
that we would not destroy them and
protect our crops if we knew how.
The first thing we need to know is
whether action is necessary-whether
the bugs are present in sufficient num-
bers to render fighting them worth
while They are distributed to
small extent through all sorts Of
cover, but the vast majority Of the
whole number and the ones that will
do the damage next summer are gath
cred in clumps of bunch grass. These
are the winter places Of the chinch
bug Just above the crown in a mulch
composed of soil and dead grass stems,
ranging from one-half to two inches
in thickness the bugs find the shelter
which protects them from both wet
and cold. While the thermometer out
side is jumping from II degrees to
So degrees in the chinch bug places
It varies only from % degrees to so
degrees When the temperature out
side is II degrees below, inside it is
1 degree below.
During the past fall We have found
in certain parts of the state that a
single bunch of grass three to five
inches in diameter shelters an average
Of a thousand living bugs. At this
rate how many bugs could winter in
a fence row a half mile long? Let
US estimate that there are six punches
of grass to the square rod, and that the
fence row is a half rod wide. The
eighty square rods of fence row would
have four hundred and eighty punches
of grass which would shelter four
hundred and eighty thousand bugs.
Say that fifty percent of these perish
during the winter-two hundred and
forty thousand would come forth in
the spring to infest the crop. OF these
one hundred and twenty thousand

a man with a five or ten acre or
chard, particularly if he has other
work for a gasoline engine, can well
afford to consider the matter Of a
power sprayer. One important point
in successful spraying is the matter
of pressure Sufficient pressure must
be maintained, particularly at the
blossom fall spray, to force the Ii
qufd well into the calyx tube OF the
apple. A pressure Of 1o0 pounds
is necessary. A pressure OF 125 to
$50 pounds is desirable. To maintain
this with a hand pump means hard
work. The gasoline engine, in taking
the mans place, is frequently cheaper
power than the man There are very
mauy makes Of good gasoline engines
and pumps. A requisite for best work,
particularly where trees are Of con
siderable size, is a tower from above

REASONED IT OUT
And Found a Change in Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for it. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years I had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. Ny food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and duIlness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many Of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that I was Furnishing
myself in that way-that was what

The form of Curtiss biplane which
travels on the water and land as well
as In the air is winning admiration
at San Diego. The machine is q
standard biplane equipped with BIZ
cycle wheels and a pontoon about
three feet wide by twelve feet in
length placed Immediately beneath
the aviator with it's long axis at
right angles to the planes. At the
extremities of the lower plane are two
small triangular copper tanks. whose
function is to prevent the planes
from cutting too deeply into the wa
ter. Mr.. Curtiss seems to have
thought of everything but a name
for his novel craft. The suggestion
that it be known as the hydroterro-
aeroplane shows closer acquaintance
with the classics than with the habit
OF the American people to insist upon
cutting long words short.

a dry season the bugs will ruin the
crops of wheat, oats, barley, corn and
milo maize.
When the number of living bugs
reach several hundred per grass clump
there can be no doubt that the crops
of the following summer are in grave
danger. Of course with wet season
the bugs will be destroyed, but have

You wonder how the individual far

pieces over the cloth or paper, care

come from each.
Should he find the bugs present in
serious numbers he should destroy
them by burning up their houses
wherever they may be found. The
burning should be done in such way
as to burn close to the crown, for
thereby practically all of the bugs
will be destroyed Such as are not
killed by the fire will be so thor
oughly uncovered that they will per
ish during the succeeding cold
weather. To be most effective the
burning should be done as soon as the
weather has grown cold enough to
prevent such bugs as do not perish
from flying to unburned grasses. This
year this date came early in
November. Burning as soon after this
date as possible is best because the
bugs which are not destroyed by the
fire are left exposed to the elements
for the greatest possible length OF
time. But it is not yet too late, es-
peciaIIy if the burning be close.
If the bunch grass is badly infested
burn it wherever it may be found,
burn it at once, and burn it close.
