shown that where corn has followed

where an annual change of crop has
been practiced. This is especially
noticeable where stalks or stubble

The model illustrated is simple but

CBy GEORGE g. A1NstHE.,


In many cornfields, especially In
the South, heavy wind late In the
season, before the corn is matured,
does great damage by breaking the
plants off at the surface of the
ground, thus running them.
An examination of these broken
stems will in most cases show that
they have been greatly weakened by
the burrows of a caterpillar known
as the larger corn stalk borer."
: Its work is largely within the stem
OF the plant, and is 80 concealed that
In most cases, unless weather condi-
lions make 1t conspicuous, the pres
'ence OF the insect passes unnoticed.
This insect seems to have been
originally an enemy of sugar cane
and to have, first transferred its at
tention to corn in the southern part
of this country, where corn and cane
are grown over the same territory.
1t occurs in many countries where SUI
gar cane is the staple crop and has
caused great damage in the West
Indies, British Guiana, Australia, and
Java. The bulk of the evidence goes
to show that 1t was first brought into
this country with the importation of
sugar-cane cuttings from the West
Indies and Central and South Ameri-

Our Heavenly Father has once more entered

Whereas, The Divine Power has seen fit to
take that life which he loaned here until he
had prepared place with him in that eter-

we bow to the enevitable and thank Him for
the sunny, cheerful presence of him who
earnestly CLEANED with US, although for SC
short period.
Whereas, He has deemed it proper to take
back that gift which He gave, and that life
which He loaned for the purpose that he
might strengthen the hopes and brighten
the hearts of his fellow grangers; therefore.
since he has gone from us to join that
heavenly choir and swell that choral band,
and since he can no longer fill his place on
earth, we hold place for him in our memory

easy matter to track Mr.. Bunny to his
hiding place and chase him out TO be-
come a target for the hunters. The
rabbit being about the only kind Of
game that cannot be exterminated, but
sticks like the faithful dog wherever
space is cleared away for a home In
the forest. it is the most common game
that is hunted on Thanksgiving. Al
though there is often about one hunter
for every rabbit. this does not seem
materially to diminish the sport, for
after the day is over those who are
short in their string of game take con-
ISOLATION In the fact that they had a
good time anyway"
Aside from rabbit hunting. there is
other game to be found in most coun-
try districts, such as pheasants an6
quail. But whether all this game has
been killed earlier in the season by
professional hunters makes little diff
ference to the people in the country.
for they will have their annual hunt
on Thanksgiving day at any rate. 1t
is an annual custom with them, and

THANKSGIVING
IN THE WOODS
rrRBANrTEs need not think

r. r RBANITES need not think
they are the only persons who
have good time on Thanks
giving day. for IL they could
but peep into the activities OF the peo-
pie on the farms and see how they OBJ
serve the holiday it would not be sur
prising If just a tinge of envy should
be incurred.
Thanksgiving day on the farm is a
day of festivity and Publication. 1t is
a genuine product Of enjoyment, de-
pendent sometimes largely upon condi-
tons of the weather and upon the nat
ural facilities provided for enjoyment.
and 1t is entirely unadulterated with
the more modern and perhaps super
fetal tat least from a ruralite's view
point, contrivanees for entertainment
which the city affords. IL a nation
can be judged by the manner In which
its national holidays are observed the
character OF the people who inhabit the
country and the city can be determined
by the application OF the same rule.
Probably the majority of the men
folks on the farm turn their thoughts
to hunting on Thanksgiving day. The
instinct to 60 out on Thanksgiving
morning and shoot turkey for the
holiday feast Is st.ll quite strong In the
average ruralite. although the birds
have become few In number. There
are comparatively few places now in
the United States where a hunt re-
suits in the capture of a turkey. Those
good old days when people did not
need to consult the market price of tur-
key when planning their Thanksgiving
feast have gone by. and even on the
farm some thought is given to the
market price Of the fne young gobbler
before 1t is decided to serve him up
for the holiday dinner instead Of ship
ping him to the city market
But the larder of the prorident farm
family is generally well filed. and per-
haps less thought is directed to the
Thanksgiving dinner as to the manner
of sport and enjoyment that can be
obtained out OF the day. Fowls of
some kind are always to be found in
abundance about the barnyard. and
the preparations for the dinner re-
Quire but little time once when a de-
cision is made as to what the menu
shall consist Of And "butchering time
has Just passed. and in the cellar or
the smoke house are plenty of possi-
bilities that would make the mouth OF
an urbanite water.
So thoughts turn to the field and for
est for days hunting. And 1t seems
to be about the only day in the year
when nearly every man and boy old
enough to handle a gun goes hunting.
The farmer will let the hunters from
the city bang about all over his farm
during the early part OF the season.
when game is plenty-if it ever is-but
he will keep right ahead husking his
corn. baling his hay. hauling in pump
kins. etc. until Thanksgiving day
comes around. Then he gets the hunt
