The white grub, the larval stage of the familiar June bug, Is hard pest 10 contend with in piece of ground which Is devoted to a titled crop.

Again this season, as was the, case last, many small fruit grower in the drouth afflicted states could have saved or greatly increased his output of fruit had he been equipped with an irrigat- ing plant of some kind with which to supply moisture to his growing vines and bushes when the clouds failed to yield their usual refreshment. It will cost money to install such a plant as the one referred to, but If one is en- gazing in the fruit raising business on an extensive scale 1t should be viewed in the light of necessary insurance, the benefit of which will represent a handsome interest return on the mon ey required to install 1t.

THE HIGHWAY MurILAroR.

A good many folk who travel c6un- try roads by auto or team hope for the day to come when a newly appointed road supervisor shall not think he has done his full duty along the line of highway improvement when he has heaped a lot of roadside sod and soft earth into the middle of the highway and left it there without pulverizing. dragging or top dressing of any kind whatever. We know of a number of instances where really good stretches of road top dressed with gravel not so very long ago. but worn bit have been mutiIated in the above fashion and rendered we'll nigh impossible, Men who know no more about the science of road building than this might be appointed township dog catchers, but they should not be given appointment as road supervisor.

Morning glories can be given an eff fective backset by blowing the soil in fested by them to depth of about six inches not later than Aug. l. Of course land that is raising titled crop could not be handled in this way. but in small grain stubble this plan would be very effective. 1t would mean that the shocks of grain would have to be thrashed at once or put in the stack. Flowing the morning glories at this time hits them when maximum of the plants energy has been sent into the vine and proves so great 8 shock that the few plants that survive can be mrckled with titled crop the fol lowing season. %.1} -.

In the construction of sil0 1t is well for those planning to install them to keep in mind two or three weak points to be found with the wooden or slave structure. One of these and perhaps the worst is the shrinking of the slaves in dry weather and the swelling in wet, necessitating an ad- justment of the metal hoops to core spond; another is the likelihood of the structure being overturned in wind storms, while third drawback is that the wooden structure cannot be made airtight so easily as those of brick and hollow blocks and is not so warm.

Owing to the fact that the roots of alfalfa plants penetrate the soil to a great depth, 1t is more than likely that in time they would clog any system of drain tile that might be laid with in six or eight feet of the surface, Better is it to SOW alfalfa on only that land that is naturally we'll drained.

It te to be hoped that in the near future ,some broad minded and influ- ential member of congress will secure favorable consideration for a bill which will protect migratory or inter, state, birds. That there is need of this is shown in the statement recently published that in the state of Georgia alone last year z5,0O0 of our northern meadow larks were slaughtered to sat isfy the greed of a lot of pothunters, wAo probably realized from 8 to 10 cents dozen, for the birds. .

Good horse sense and just a fair re- gard for sanitary considerations would seem to suggest to all retailers of fruits, as well as to the housewife who gathers fruit from her own garden, the wisdom of covering fruit when thus exposed with mosquito netting to keep off flies that may have come to it direct from barnyard, cesspool or dead animals in the neighborhood.

Some poultry specialists in the em- ploy of the Connecticut experiment station have proved quite conclusfvely that germs of white diarrhea, which is a most destructive poultry disease, trace their origin to tho mother hen, being transmitted by her to the eggs which she lays; hence at matching time the little chick has the germs in it's own system. This announcement does not offer much along the line of possible prevention, but is welcome becaflse it Is definite and gives a basis on which to make further progress.

We are deeply grateful to all these
long-haired evangelists and street
preachers who come down to save US
unregenerated folk; but why don't they
come down in the summer time, when
we are more liable to spoil and have
more time to be saved? We wouldn't
accuse them of design to make us un-
saved souls pay their expenses merely
to give them chance to spend the win
ter in Florida-but it looks a bit that
way. The two classes of fate most
numerously represented in Florida in
the winter time are the religious fake
and the advertising scheme fake. We
do not assert that the first.named does
not effect some good; but many of them
rant against all the great organized
churches and unsettle the faith of more
weak-minded persons than they lead to
a better ife.-Lakeland News.
