eradicating them. The possibility of the bedbug conveying relapsing fever, typhoid and leprosy, has been sug- gested and apparently there is no parasite of man that may not be a mode of disease conveyance. Flies, heas, mosquitoes and bugs not only are all under suspicion, but most of them are also actually demonstrated as ordinary and frequent conveyors of diseases of various kinds. Accord ing to the Journal of the American Medical Association health authori- ties must now take up the problem of getting rid of insect parasites in order to stamp out disease.

possible chance Of reabsorpdon
of moisture or of freezing before
the corn is thoroughly dry. If
the farmer will eliminate barren
and sucker stalks, he is certain to
make a gain Of from fifteen to
twenty per cent. If he plants
pure-bred corn, the per cent of
imperfect ears is reduced to a:
minimum and the per cent of
corn greatly increased.
CULTIVATION. The matter of
cultivation should not be over
looked. After the corn is plant
ed in order to secure radid germ
[ination and quick growth, the
land should be rolled fer the
purpose Of packing the dirt
around the seed. In sections OF
the country where the soil blows,
the corrugated roller should be
used, AS soon as the corn BREAKS
through the ground, or even
before, the weeder or harrow
should be used; first to prevent
the escape of moisture and
second to destroy weeds before
they have attained a growth
sufficient to rob the corn Of plant
food and moisture.
The first cultivation can with
safety be deep, but subsequently
civilizations should pc made with
a surface cultivator and a reg
ular cultivator with Gopher blade
or sweep. After the corn is 8 or
10 inches high, the roots have
extended so far from the hill
that deep cultivation disturbs
and often prunes many, thereby
materially lessening the number
Of feed and water gathering
roots.
It is safe to say that the aver
age corn grower reduces his crop
twenty-five per cent by deep cul-
tivation. II, however, the seed
bed is deep, the damage from
cutting the roots is greatly les
sened.

soil bacteria, especially those that
make available organic nitrogen.
When soil is sour, finely
ground lime rock should applied
in amounts ranging from 200
pounds to two ton per acre, The
lime not only neutralizes the
acidity Of the soil, bnt it stim-
ulates the soil giving it new life
and also renders potash available.
The farmer must remember
that if he ignores rotation and
the use Of legumes, and follows
corn with corn each year, that
instead of increasing the product
ion it will be a little less each
year. He must also bear in
mind the fact that plant food in
the deeper subsoils beyond the
reach of the rlow can be made
available only by planting leg
umes. When clover or alfalfa
can not be grown, cow peas, soy
peans or vetch should take their
place
WATER No crop is more exact
Ing in it's requirements Of water
than is corn. Every pound of
dry material in the crop requires
at least 800 pounds of water,
which means from five to seven
hundred tons per acre. Cap
Hilary attraction is natures way
Of feeding water to the plant,
hence it must be stored In the
deeper subsoil and it's escape
prevented by cultivation, or the
crop is almost certain to suffer
at some stage Of it's growth.
Water is stored by blowing
deep, using subsoil pillow and by
thorough tillage. It must also
be remembered that the absorb
ing ability Of the soil is increased
just in proportion to the amount
Of humus it contains. If soils
are soggy they are lifeless, due
to the lack of atmospheric oxygen
That condition is remedied by
placing drain tile, which not only
carry off, surplus water, but
admit air to the soil.
SEED SELECTION. Seed selec-
ton is no less important than the
other features mentioned. In
bred seed always produces a de-
fcient ear. If the farmers will
take the trouble to count the
number of barren stalks and
sucker stalks on an acre, he will
find that from fifteen to twenty
per cent Of the stalks he has cul-
tivated produced no ears. The
power of heredity is so strong in
corn that if the ears are fortified
from pollen of barren stalks,
and that corn is planted a large
per cent of barren stalks will
result. Hence the necessity of
having a breeding plot where
pure-bred seed corn is raised and
the possibility of barren. stalks
eliminated. Seed should be
gathered while the corn is stand
ing and before it freezes. Only
ripe we'll formed and we'll located
ears should be selected and then
stored in a seed house where rap

CERTIFICATES ARE OF VALUE
Cotton Stored In Bonded Warehouse,
Insured Against Fire, Most
Excellent Security.

A bond is an interest.bearing debt
certificate. Bonds have been issued
usually in this country by government
in Its different forms. by corporations
and by railroads. When railroads
first began to issue bonds the idea was
as new as the suggestion that cotton
warehouse certificates be issued now.
usable as security for money.
Cotton stored In a bonded ware
house. insured against fire. Is as good
security as there Is " the world. A
certificate representing 1t ought to be,
and is in fact, quite as valuable as a
railroad or any other kind Of bond.
1t Is as much an evidence Of wealth.
But rich men are able to bond their
properties, thus being able to obtain
money readily on favorable terms,
while the idea that the same use
should be made Of cotton, for the
farmers benefit. is held up as revolu.
tionary.
1t is not revolutionary. 1t Is merely
common sense, says the Charleston
News and Courier. The demand Is
simply a determination Of farmers to
put their industry on a business foun.
dation. There is In the scheme no
financial unsoundness. 1t is plain,
simple, honorable and sensible plan

It's pretty safe bet that a man

A farmer cannot understand how

Three barleycorns make an inch. 90

TIDE FROM COUNTRY TO CITY
Secret 10 That Young Men and Wom.
on Are Searching for Lacking
Amusement or Diversion.

To the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:
The secret Of the constant tide from
the country to the city is that the
young man and woman-often the
man and woman of mature years-is
on search for that amusement or di.
version which Is too often lacking on
the farm.
The one way to counteract the ten
dency-permanently-is to find on the
farm some substitute for the recrea.
tions that lure the man from the 'coun-
try to the city. Until this is done.
all the preachments in the world
about the beauty Of country life"
and the duty Of the farmer to feed
the world" will not touch the prob
lem.
In the city, the average country boy
or girl gets perhaps dollar or two
week more in actual money than he or
she could earn on the farm. And this
difference Is speedily eaten up in
board bills, in frivolous amusements.
and. too frequently, in designations
that unfit the participant either for
toll or future usefulness. You hear
a great deal about the boy or girl who
goes from the country to the city
and makes huge success. You hear
little or nothing about the incom.
parably larger number who go to the
city and either 90 through life semi
failures or absolute wrecks on the
shores Of competition for which they
have not been fitted.
Recently have been much inter.
ested In the study Of the reports Of
vice commissions. issued by the va
rious cities, In many cases they show
that the poor wages paid girls in de.
partment and other stores-and many
Of these girls come direct from the
country or from small towns-are re-
cruited by the wages Of life Of
shame. There is this feature to be
considered by the father or mother
who knows that the son or the daugh-
ter is listening to the lure Of the city.
Amusements Of a wholesome nature
can and should be provided in the
country. l do not say that on every
farm, or In every rural community. 1t
Is possible to even approximately du-
plicate the myriad lights. or the thea.
tiers or the other resorts that go to
make up the life Of metropolis. But
the monotony Of farm life can be re-
lieved and the farm routine itself
given new meaning by little In
genuity and perseverance. ] regard
the introduction of such amusements
as among the factors indispensable to
the solution Of the so-called rural
problem" about which so many people
vigorously preach. Let them turn
their efforts slightly In this direction.
The returns will be perceptible.
