FERTILITY VERSUS
SINGLE CROPPING
Potato Growers May Well Bene-
fit by Experience Of Wheat
Raisers of Wisconsin.

tBy C. L. FITCH. Colorado Agricultural
College)
When Illinois and Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Dakota and other western
states were put under the pillow, the
chief crop was wheat. After fifteen
or twenty years of wheat growing in
southern Wisconsin the crops dimin-
ished seriously, and about war time
the yields ran so low because OF dis
ease that wheat growing was aban-
doned as failure.
After almost generation of dairy
ing and the exclusive reliance upon
corn, oats, barley and clover, wheat
was tried again, and the yields are
no. larger than in the pioneer days.
This offers parallel to the growing
of potatoes in southern Maine in the
earlier days, their virtually going out
and now their larger production
again.
After the experience OF 1911 and
1912 the potato growers of many re-
gions in the Rocky mountain states
will do well to consider if they have
not already reached for the time be-
ing at least the passing of their crop,
Persistence is a good thing, but not
always better than wisdom.

In the fourth century A. D. there
lived In China an artist, who was also
a poet. His name was Ku K'ai-chih.
In London there is a painting, long
scroll, which for at least thousand
years has been treasured as his work;
and though that cannot be proved, it
is in all probability painting by his
hand. One day, we are told, he In
trusted to a friend chest full OF
paintings which he had collected. For
better security he fastened the lid of
the chest and sealed the fastening
with a seal. The friend however
coveted the paintings, and hit on the
simple expedient of removing the
bottom of the box and SO abstracting
them. When the box was restored to
Ku K'ai-chih, he broke the seal and
found 1t empty. But he suspected
no theft and expressed no surprise.
Beautiful paintings, he said. commune

birds cause by eating fruit, orchard

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found In tea.)
There are five children in my fam
n.y." writes an Iowa mother, "all of
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
my husband and had heart trouble
and were advised to quit coffee. We
did SO and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.

Our eleven-yearold boy had weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked It and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes It,"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle

book, "The Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum is soluble powder.

By S. A. BEACH, Iowa Experiment Sta
toni
Plum curculIo.-This insect makes
a puncture in the tender young fruit
In which it lays its egg. 1t then cuts
q crescent flap around the puncture,
making characteristic wound. The
egg soon matches into a larva, COM
monty called "a worm" which feeds
upon the fruit and often causes 1t to
drop prematurely. Often the wormy
fruit starts to rot before 1t drops and
thus helps to spread the rot fungus to
other fruits. Spray with arsenate OF
lead, using from pounds to A pounds
to so gallons Just before the blossoms
open and again as soon as they fall.
Two weeks later spray with 2 pounds
arsenate of lead to so gallons. Paris
green might hurt the leaves II used.
When the insect is very abundant
Earring may also be practiced. A con-
venient catcher is made of cotton
sheeting stretched over a frame
mounted on low wheels. One side is
slit to allow the cart to be pushed di-
rectly under the tree. The tree is
then Jared and the curculio which
are caught upon the sheet are swept
into a boz hung andef the center q
the sheet from whence thye are later
taken and destroyed. Earring should
begin as soon as the blossoms fall
and co.atinue from two to three
weeks. Early morning is the best
time to do this work.

them having scaley leg and keep the
skin smooth and well colored. This
is a good treatment for the legs Of
show birds.
Summer is the time to plan for a
variety of food for the hens next win
ter. A variety of food you know caus-
es the hens to fill the egg case when
eggs are high. Grow all the different
kinds of food for them that you can.
1t is a good plan to raise sunhowers
in the poultry yards. They can be
started elsewhere and then transplant
ed into the yard or can be planted in
the yards IL the hens can be kept out
until they get started. Sunhowers
make a fine shade for the hens and
little chicks during the hot weather;
they help to keep the ground dry and
pure and then in the fall there is a
good supply of sunfiower seeds to help
add variety to the ration OF the laying
hens.
Poultry manure is so strong that II
will injure tender plants II allowed to
lie against them. Remember this when
putting the poultry droppings in the
garden. Put them close around the
plants but not against them and mix
with the earth.
Do not think that your flock of hens
is too small to bother with saving the
droppings. The product from 25 hens
for six months is about 375 pounds
from the roosts alone. This is well
worth saving to enrich the garden.

Plant Llce.-Several kinds of plant
lice. or aphides, attack the plum.
They work on the under side of the
leaf so that it curls and often drops.
They multiply very rapidly. On nur-

quite successfully by cutting of the
infested tips promptly and destroying
them or dipping in nicotine sulfate,
81. but in the orchard-this is hardly
practicable and probably the best that
can be done is to spray with nicotine
sulfate or with whale oil soap, one
