SERIOUS INSECT CORN PEST
"Bud-Worn" Eats Roots and Kills
Bud In Young PIant-Rotatlon
ls Best Way to Control.

There Is a great deal of confusion
In regard to this name "bud-worm."
Most farmers use it in referring to
the southern corn root-worm. This
is also sometimes known as the
"spiker" or "drill-worm" have
heard farmers call 1t all of these
names. 1t is the small white or yell
lowishwhite worm with black head
that eats the roots and kills the bud
in younG corn-usually before the corn
is more than six or eight inches high
This insect is probably the most
serious insect pest Of corn In the early
spring. We cannot reach this insect
with poisons, 80 that where this pest
is serious we must resort to farming
methods to control it. 1t is usually
more serious on bottom land, especial
ly when the corn is planted early.
If the planting is delayed until May,
most Of the adult beetles have laid
their eggs and the damage is not
great Some farmers make it a prac-
LlSC W pldul uuSA uOIS COIu Ludu ID
necessary 80 as to get q good stand
in spite Of these insects.
The damage is thus distributed and
it is easier and cheaper to thin out
the corn than to replant. 1t is said
that proper rotation Is the easiest way
to control this pest. Cotton, sweet

except beans and cucurbits, and prob
ably the small grains are not injured
by this insect 80 that 1t ought to al
ways be easy to plan rotation in
which corn can follow some of these
crops.

placed to make another hole opposite
the first one and press the earth
against the newly set plant These
dibbles must be used with great care
in planting bulbs, such as onions, be-
cause they are apt to leave a hollow
space beneath the bulb and thus de-
feat the very object desired. Often
roots will be sent out from the base
of the bulb and merely hang in hole
without being able to reach the SOIL
and thus aid the bulb in growth; but
for seeding plants which have a
straight root there is no such danger,
as the soil can readily be pushed
against the root and leave no air
space whatever. The accompanying
cut shows three popular styles Of
wooden dibbles. which anyone can

Gods Promise to Mankind.

For the Lord God Is sun and g..
shield; the Lord will give grace and
glory; no good thing will he withhold
from them that walk uprightly. '-Ps.
"a: II.
This is the Christians great prom
ise in the day of disappointment; for
disappointment will come in greater
or less degree, to every one who has
to go through Gods discipline on the
way to Gods Kingdom of Glory. Many
things which seem good will God with
hold even as father withholds peri
lous things from his little child's'
grasp. Much seems to US good that
is not good. or at least, not good for
us. Many things seem to us to be
of evil which are good and are there
fore sent to US. Let US place full trust
in his wisdom, and in hi1 love. who,
whatever he withholds does not with
hold the best things, even grace and
glory" When he sees fit to disap-
point our hopes and to deny US some
thing on which out affections have been
earnestly set, let US ask him to give
us such a sight Of those higher bless
ings which he has not withheld that
our minds may rise In faith and
love to the fr.i belief that II the good
we desired had really been good for us
he would have bestowed 1t upon us,
since he bestows better things. |:

How to Break Up Brooding.

The best and quickest method of
breaking up broody hens is to build
cage entirely Of laths, without any
solid floor to 1t, and hang or fasten
the cage up outdoors where the air
can pass through it. A hen treated
in this way will be broken from set
ting in a very few days and 1t Is not
necessary to deprive her Of food or
water nor to nearly drown her in a
tub OF water, as is done too often.
Broody hens should not be starved,
but fed all they will eat. Heavy feed
ing starts them laying quickly after
their broodiness has been ended.
Starving them delays egg production
much longer.

Other advantages In apiculture'
aside from the profits, are the health
fulness of the outdoor work, the recre-
ative value due to the absorbing IN
terest of working with the bees, the
interval of four to six months IN the
year when one can pack away the
problems to hibernate when one can
loosen her tether and find new spheres
il which to refresh mind and spirit IN
the already refreshed body. To eluci'
date this last point, work with the
bees calls one outdoors only in the nice
weather, in the pleasanter seven or
eight months of the year; when bad
winter months approach the bees are
packed away until spring. One Is more
likely to appreciat this feature When'
like the writer, she has tended poul-
try two years, poultry which insist on
prompt meals 365 days In year and
unending attention in many other
ways.
Bee keeping is an interesting and
profitable side line fer many women
today, but as yet. few are supporting
families on their apiaries.,
Let the beginner remember to start
in a small way, start right, and in
crease slowly. Let her read some
good bee literature before buying
hives or swarms, 30 that she can In
form herself as to the best to get.
She should have all the hives Uniform
so that she can readily transfer a
frame Of rood, for instance, from one
hive to any other hive. OF course. if
she is going to have them all alike,
it is important that she begin with
the best kind.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1913-07-30

Notwithstanding the multitude OF
things that crowd upon the farm WON
an to be dole, the writer can assign
her neglect to bee culture for pin
money to nothing but inertia, assum-
ing that she is temporarily fitted for
the care Of bees. If woman turns
,panicky at the sight of bee, runs,
flops her apron, and otherwise empha-
sizes herself as target, bee will be
sure not to slight her, but see that
she gets all that she expects.
Bees are wonderful little observers
and actively resent the presence OF
a person who acts suspiciously. With
self control and good nature in moder-
ate degree, any woman would be able
! to work among the bees.
Bees are not only profitable ad-
juncts, but are nc end Of interest Il
mean interesting In a favorable sense).
know bee keeper of 25 years expe-
rience in agriculture, and he says bees
grow more interesting to him every
year.
! There are many things to be said
lin favor 7f beekeeping for women.
. The original outlay need be and
should be small. She should begin
with a good swarm in good modern
hive, a make that she, after carefully
looking into the comparative advan-
tages of hives, has decided to use e1-
clusive.y in her ariary. She should
increase her colonies slowly, only as
her actual profits on her first swarm
justifes. This will prevent expen-
sive mistakes, possibly failure and
that worried feeling that attends q
white elephant on ones hands.

Morning With God.

Arise very early in the morning and
spend an hour in the study and afir-
nation of noble and exalted thoughts
that relate your soul to divinity. Then
pray to the radiant sun Of wisdom
for the light of love divine and you
will feel that your mind is lifted up
and exalted into higher state Of con-
sciousness AS you thus abide in
communion with the father-mother-
the positive heart of the universal
mind-you will realize that your pray
ers and aspirations have opened an in
terror door and your soul is being fed
on the mama OF heaven so that its
potential life is made substantial and
vital, and all through the day you will
feel the happy effects Of this early
morning talk with God.-Edward De-
Voc, In Nautilus.

Returns From Good Seed Bed.

There are very few farms on which
additional labor expended in prepar-
ing seed bed would not yield hand
some returns. It costs but 15 cents
per acre to harrow land, and about
IS cents per acre to disk land. For
81 land can be double disked and
narrowed twice. One bushel of wheat
or barley. two bushels Of corn or one
half bushel Of flax increase per acre
will pay for this extra work.
