LIGHT ESSENTIAL TO TREES
Secretary Of Agriculture Issues eulle-
tin on Points Necessary for
Success In Forests.

The secretary of agriculture has just
issued bulletin 80 Of the Forest Serv-
ice on Light in Relation to Tree
Growth. The bulletin is designed to
show the benefits derived by the tree
by light from all angles, particularly
that reflected on the roots.
In introducing the subject the bull
letin states: Light Is indispensable
for the life and growth of trees. In
common with other green plants a
tree. in order to live, must produce
organic substance for the building of
new tissues. Certain low forms of
vegetable life, such as bacteria and
fungi. do not require light. They ex-
list by absorbing organic substance
from other living bodies; but the
higher forms Of plants manufacture
their own organic material by extract.
ing carbon from the air. The leaves
through the agency of their chloro-
phyll, or green coloring matter, absorb
from the air carbon dioxide, and give
on nearly equal volume Of oxygen
The carbon dioxide is then broken up
into its elements and converted into
organic substances which are used in
building up new tissues.
Light also influences Transportation
and consequently the metabolism OF
green plants. 1t influences largely the
structure, the form and the color of
the leaf, and the form of the stem and
the crown of the tree. In the forest 1t
largely determines the height growth
of trees, the rate at which stands thin
out with age, the progress of natural
pruning, the character of the living
ground cover, the vigor Of young tree
growth, the existence of several
stored forest and many other phe-
nomena upon which the management
of forests depend. A thorough under
standing, therefore, of the effect OF
light upon the life Of individual trees,
and especially on trees in the forest,
and knowledge of the methods by
which the extent of this effect can be
determined are essential for success

i7-YEAR LOCUST HARMLESS
Officers Of Bureau Of Entomology Say
There 10 No Danger to Be Feared
Feast for the Birds.

Don't hurt the pretty things; they
are harmless" and Don't be scared"
are two don'ts issued by the depart
ment of agriculture with regard to
the 17-year locusts which have now
appeared. Farmers all over the cOun-
try have ben throwing all kinds Of
fits after reading the scare heads"
of newspapers resulting from the ap-
pearance of the insect, and are send
ing in scores of letters to the de-
partment asking for immediate relief,
says a Washington dispatch to the
Baltimore American. Every time the
department predicts the appearance
of the 13-year or the 17-year cicada it
endeavors to impress on the farmers
the fact that it is harmless and should
occasion no alarm, but all this good
work is thwarted by newspapers
which endeavor to find something SEN
sational in the curious workings of
nature.
So harmless are the cicada consid-
cred that many years ago there was
brood planted" artificially in the
grounds of the department of agricul-
ture. They came out on schedule
time at the end of II years, and as
near as could be estimated there were
about 100000. But not one ever
reached the singing stage. The birds
attended to that, just as they are at
tending to all the broods that are COM
ing out this year. The crow-black-
bird is the one that lives high while
the 17-year locust last, while the rob-
ms, the wrens the bluebirds and even
the despised sparrow wax fat on a
diet of cicada.
The officials of the bureau of ento-
mology are interested in the appear
ance of the brood, but say there is no
danger to be feared.

In the SheepfoId.

Regularity in feeding Is OF much
Importance. If it can be SO arranged
as to feed at o'clock in the morning
and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is
about the best that can be done. No
live stock will make better use of a
few turnips or other roots, In winter,
than will breeding ewes. 1t Is advis.
able, too, to give them a little grain.
It helps them wonderfully. If the
flockmaster knows just when to ex.
pect lambs he can often save the life
of a nice lamb by watchfulness and q
little care at the right time in seeing
that the mother takes due care of it.
Possibly, he may lose q few hours
sleep during the season, but, when he
comes to sell the lambs and put the
price In his pocket, he can reflect
that this lost sleep is paid for.

QUEER DISEASE
IN CALIFORNIA
MANY HERE AFFLICTED WITH
ODD AILMENT, SAYS MUNYON.
Grewsome Creatures Very Common
In This State, Finds Expert on
Special Diseases.

Many California people are at
flicted with a queer disease, accord
ing to statement yesterday by Pro-
lessor James M. Munyon. He made
the following remarkable and rather
grewsome statement: MANY per-
sons who came to my headquarters
at The Owl Drug company, San
Francisco, think they are suffering
from simple stomach trouble, when
in reality they are the victims of en-
entirely different disease-that of
tape worm. These tape worms are
huge internal parasites, which locate
in the upper bowel and consume
large percentage of the nutriment
in undigested food. They sometimes
grow to a length of forty to sixty
feet. One may have tape worm
for years and never know the cause
of his or her chronic i'll health.
Persons who are suffering from
one of these creatures become nerv-
Gus, weak and irritable, and tire at
the least exertion. The tape worms
rob one of ambition and vitality and
strength, and they are rarely fatal.
'The victim of this disease is apt
to believe that he is suffering from
chronic stomach trouble, and doc
tors for years without relief. This
is not the fault of the physicians he
consults, for there is no absolute
diagnosis that will tell positively
that one is not a victim of tape
worm.
"The most common symptom of
this trouble is an abnormal appetite.
At times the person is ravenously
hungry and can not get enough to
eat. At other times the very sight
of food is loathsome. There Is
gnawing, faint sensation at the pit
of the stomach, and the victim has
headaches, fits of dizziness and nau-
sea. He can not sleep at night and
often thinks he is suffering from
nervous prostration.
81 have treatment which has
had wonderful success in eliminat-
ing these great creatures from the
system In the course of its regular
action in aiding digestion, and rid
ding the blood, kidneys and liver of
impurities, it has proven fatal to
these great worms. If one has a
tape worm, this treatment will, in
nine cases out of ten, stupefy and
pass it away. but if not, the treat
ment will rebuild the rundown per-
son, who is probably suffering from
stomach trouble and a general amaze
mic condition. My doctors report
marvellous success here with this
treatment. Fully a dozen persons
have passed these worms, but they
are naturally reticent about discuss
ing them, and of course we can not
violate their confidence by giving
their names to the public

Proaress Of Farmer.

No longer is the farmer known a
the cracker or the ''hayseed." The
scientific aspect Of the industry has
changed all this and the farmer with
chin whiskers and seedy clothes has
vanished and he is nearly extinct in
the hamlet, the crossroads general
store and the village postofice. The
daily newspaper. the daily mail, the
rural delivery, the telephone and the
trolley have nearly annihilated him
Instead Of idling around the store the
farmer may now be seen at the club
or In the city buying stocks and
breaking into the millionaire class.
