TO KILL. ROADSIDE INSECTS
Right Time to Do Work 10 Late In
Fall When Cold Weather Has
Set In and Vegetation Dry.
(By GEORGE H. GLITZKE.)

tBy GEORGE H. GLITZKE)
A great many people have the mis-
taken idea that the time to burn the
sects that winter in these places. il
in the early spring Of the year.
II you will watch closely at such a
place where the roadside has been
burned in the spring you will see the
insects coming out Of the ground very
thickly on the warm days.
This proves that the insects were
not killed. Most Of them are in the
ground and the heat of the fire pass
ing over them does not harm them
and the trash burned from above them
makes 1t all the easier for the insects
to come forth.
While no doubt a few Of them are
killed tho majority of them are unin-
jured.
The right time to burn these road
sides to do effective work is in the
late fall Of the year.. after the cold
weather has already set in and all tho
tender vegetation is dry.
Then, If the roadsides are burned.
the insects in such places will be kill
ed by heavy freezing. as they usually
do not 90 very deeply into the ground
but seem to depend on the covering
Of trash to protect them from the cold.
This is a great bit more effective
in the killing of the insects than the
spring burning.
Not only does the fall burning Of
the roadsides do good by the killing
of the insects that winter there, but it
also helps to keep the road in better
shape by allowing less snow to collect
in the drifts as it usually does in
places where there is much grass and
weeds.

II the umpire started anything on the

STICK TO THE TANNING MILL
BY Grading Our Own Seed We Can
Materially increase Yield Of Our
Small Grain Crops.

No farmer can get any one to- take
the same plans in gradil g his seed
that he would himself. Some farmers
claim that it does not pay to clean
grain.
1t is q fact that 1t does not pay very
large returns to clean and grade
grain before selling it, but by grading
our own seed We can materially in
crease the yield of our small grain
crops. -,
The corn crop of this country has
been increased millions of bushels by
