ON THE FARM
TIE DESSTRUCI GRAIN MOTH,

Like practically all agricultural pro-
ducts. corn and other grains are sub
iect 10 the attack Of numerous de-
Structive insects, some Of them COM
Yneucing their depredations in the
ripanine grain in the fields, while
others abide solely in the barns, store
rooms. or cribs where the grain is
stored.
The actual loss OccaSioned by in
.ects in whole grain and the various
stock foods cannot be accurately
cstimated the grain is not only re-
duccd in weight and consequent sell
ing value, but is often rendered
wholly unfit for human food and less
valuable as food for live stock.
\ species of insects Of which the
parents are moths is found to be very
destructive, this is the angoumo1s grain
moth the larvae of which develops
entirely in the kernels Of corn, or
ether grain.
The Southern farmer generally ap-
plies the term fly weeyfl'' to this
species to distinguish it from the rice
OF black weevil. but the term is hard
= appropriate, because the adult fly
;uG moth is simply the parent form
Of the worm that feeds in the grain.
This species does not attack meal or
food products, but lives in the whole
grain, a single kernel of corn often
larvae.
During the year five or six gener-
atoms of moths may be produced.
farmers commonly remark that grain
becomes infested in spring when large
number Of moths are seen flying In
the granaries-thus gaining for them
the name ely weeviP'; but in reality
ihe grain is generally first infested in
the Held.
These moths commence to emerge
1n April, and earlier in the warmer
sections, and succeeding generations
snay mature about every six weeks.
Grain in the field is evidently not
Infested until nearly grown, or in such
condition that the first moths mature
about when the grain is ripening. It
il certainly a bad practice to leave
corn cut and stacked in the field, for
AZ such condition more ears are eX
posed to egg deposition than would
DE il the corn were stored in the grain
cribs. The moths will not be present

ii proper precautions have been taken
To get rid Of all infested grain of the
previous years growth.

IMPROVED GARDEN IMPLl,-
MENTS

Among the many improvements,
none along the line OF gardening equal
the wheel tools for the saving OF Ia Dor
and the efficiency Of work We
thought we had solved the problem
by planting In long rows and using
the one-h horse cultiyator for the main
part of the work.
This is q long stride ahead OF the
hand-hoe but the most steady horse
Will sometimes blunder upon a row
Of plants.
Besides, there is often a bit of spare
time in the morning or evening when
the soil is just right, yet TO harness
the horse would take so long that it
would not pay for the short period,
SO the work is postponed until a rain
or drought places the soil IN a less
favorable condition.
The wheel hoe puts the ground in
better condition for planting than any
other method. 1t marks the rows
seeds in regularly instead of in
lunches, thus saving in the Quantity
required, yet with the seeds properly
spaced firming the earth over them
after planting.
The regularity in planting enahles
one to work close TO the plants with
the wheel tools without iniuring one.
They are more easily thlnned out
as necessary. after they come up. and
the general appearance Of the plot Is
greatly improved

clans. too. this same change Of opin-
ion has come about. Formerly the
doctor regarded milk as q doubtful
article Of diet for his patient Now
he prefers it to anything else.
The steady increase in the price Of
all dairy products is the best tribute
to their worth that could possibly be
paid The world at large is extending
them a recognition such as il never
did before: voluntarily places a higher
estimate on their value than form erly.
The dairy farmer can ask no more
substantial evidence of apprecia ton
than he is today receiving from the
community at large, in the shape OF
advanced prices for the products OF
his care and labor. And it is we'll
earned and justly due.
Any man who is willing TO conduct
a dairy, in a progressive and pains
taking manner, is bound to put his
fellowmen under debt OF obligation
to him which will not pass unre-
warded.
Milk products as foods. and the
dairyman farmer, have both Of them
advanced with rapid strides during
the past decade, in the esteem OF all.
and the future bids fair to see still
larger recognition fall TO their lot.

machinery. This equipment is ex-
pensive and the fact that, under the
presenut circumstances, it lessons the
cost of production, does not alter tho
first cost.
Observant men arc Of the opinion
that the increasing cost or farming
operations is having one decidedly
good effect: that there is one consola
ton Cor it all This is its Very cuiti-
walton of the soil. the rotation OF crops
and for intensive cultivation gcner-
ally. 1t Is readily noticeable in Nash
and Edgecombe counties, for instance.
that q steadily increasing number of
farmers are using tWO-horSe piow-
and are breaking their land deeper.
using vastly more fertilizer and are
cultiyatjng their crops more scientif
cally. and they are getting results.
These men find that the cost OF pro
ducing a bale of cotton or 100 bushels
of corn is less when the intensive sys-
tenn of cultivation is used than under
the old method. The biggest differ
encc in the cost is for the extra
amount Of fertilizer and the cost OF
this has been found to be such good
inyeStm ant that the best farmers are
puttiFf. anywhere from 500 TO 1,o0p
pour(s OF fertilizer to the acre in
the place Of the 200 or 800 pounds
that were used a few years ago
One farmer, who has q number OF
tenants on his farm, noting the relue-
tance OF his tenants TO tie up enough
money in fertilizers to provide more
than 500 or 400 pounds to the acre
under cotton, has made an arrange
ment whereby he proposes to furnish
all OF the fertilizer for all the cotton
seed. He figures that not only Will
he receive more lint cotton by this
trade since he intends to put 500 10
500 pounds Of guam" 60 the acre but
that the cotton seed will more than
pa,, for the fertilizer leaving him
neat margin of profit even then.

(Rocky Mount Record.l

The farmers are feeling now "a

which has been a sore subject for
years with the salaried people Of the
cities The wise farmer raises to a
very great extent the things that go

cry are sky high compared with the

same.
The man who purchases q farm to-
day must pay almost as much to

he pays for the land. Good mules cost
anywhere from 500 to $406 apiece.

celery plants this tool does half the
work Of the trench digging and after
the plants are established it does all
the necessary work untfi banking up
I is required.
Wedding onion beds becomes an
easy job, the present system doing the
work much more effectually when the
onions are planted in rows.
Since this tool admits of close plant
Inns the saving in space is Very much
greater than when the horse cultiya-
tor was employed.
Cultivation means more than de-
Istroying weeds; more than locSening
the soil. There is Il chemical trans
formation going on whenever the
ground is light enough to admit the
entrance Of air, and the soil which
fails to get this falls short Of the
