INJURIES BY THE BAGW0RM
IN Last Few Years Pest Has Aban-
toned EVergreens and Attacked
Many Deciduous Trees.
By L. HAsEMAND

The tough silken bags hanging from
limbs and twigs of evergreen, shade
and fruit trees in the winter are ia
miliar to many farmers throughout the
country. The caterpillar which makes
these is commonly called a bagworm,
basketworm or dropworm. In the past
1t has been more or less troublesome
on evergreens, but in the last few
years it has become destructive to
many deciduous trees and shrubs. The
rapid increase and spread of the pest

(By WILLIAM H. UNDERWOOD)
Potatoes intended for seed should
be kept hard and plump during the
winter and this can be done only by
keeping them so cool that they will
not sprout.
When potatoes sprout they take
part of the starch that is stored up in
them and manufacture it into living
cells. This energy is all wasted for
the sprouts have to be pulled off
Some farmers make it a point to
"sprout" their potatoes once or twice
during the winter, this being done to
prevent their growing. But the amount
of energy thus lost is considerable,
and the loss increases as the winter
draws to a close.

SOME PURE-MILK PROBLEMS
Most Important Aside From Feeding
Is of Barn and Its Aceommoda-
lions, Says Oregon Student.

For the dairyman whose aim is the
profitable production Of pure milk.
probably the most important problem,
aside from the feeding, is that of the
barn and its accommodations, writes
E. S. Wisdom, a student at the Ore
gon Agricultural college. in an article
In the Oregon Countryman, the stu
dent agricultural magazine.
The dairy COW requires, for the high
est production, comfortable and
healthy quarters which are protected
from the inclement weather. he con-
tinues. A warm, substantial stable il
almost imperative in the cold climate.
1t must not be forgotten, however, that
the health Of the herd is likely to be
impaired unless proper precautions are
taken to insure rigid cleanliness and
abundance of light and fresh air.
An expensive structure is unneces-
sary, but one that Will be convenient
for the labor and furnish contentment
to the hHrd should be provided. The
location should be chosen to maintain
the highest degree of sanitation, de-
pending largely upon the drainage.
The ti.e-drained barnyards often elm
mate the undesirable conditions found
commonly. Whenever it is possible,
the barn should be built on a knoll.
though never on an elevation higher
than the house occupies.
Convenience Of access from different
parts OF the farm saves labor and time.
Barns near a main road or across a
road from the house are not recon-
mended The landing should face
north and south. so that the sunlight
might enter from both sides during
the day.

to orchards and to shade trees and or
namental shrubs in cities, parks and
cemeteries have occasioned a great
deal of loss in the past three or four
years.
The hagworm is easy to control, at
least upon trees of moderate size
There are two methods of destroying
the pest. by collecting all of the bags
and by spraying with poison. If the
bagworm is restricted to only few
trees, one can easily collect all of the
bags in the winter when the leaves
are off. This method is in common
use and is entirely effective, If care
fully done. 1t does not work so well
on evergreens and, of course. is out
of the question in very large orchards
or groves. In such cases it Is neces-
sary to spray when the young cater
pillars begin to feed upon the foliage
IN the spring. Early spraying should
be practiced as the pest is destroyed
before the foliage is consumed. The
first regular application Of poison for
the cooling moth. just after the bios
SONS fall in the spring, will also con
troll the bagworm in orchards. One
careful application Of poison before
the first Of June viii usually control
the pest either upon fruit, evergreen
or shade trees.

! in civilized life; time. without which
nothing can be nor ever has been pur-
sued to successful issue. How many
men. tell me. devote either time enough
to getting married. or time enough to
stay happily so after they are married.
Most men select a wife in far less time.
and with far less real anxiety TO find
desirable mate, than they would dream
of expanding upon the selection of a
thoroughbred team or a touring car. No
wonder people write letters to the news
papers asking the question 'Is Marriage
Failure?" or that many of these same
newspapers maintain regular depart
ments the mission of which is to teach
people How to be happy, though mar
ried."
Then, there's the place-quIte as i'm
portant as the time-to any welI-rsgu7,
lated courtship When one sees the I'M
propitious environment in which the
average modern courtship is conducted,
one can only marvel that matrimony is
as popular as il is. Certainly motor cars,

1t is said that over a million children

the statement makes one pause.
II is not a popular opinion. exactly; in
fact, il is a bit reasonable to the modern
trend of thought, but many a time one is
inclined to wish that the world might
be led TO believe that parenthood is
something of disgrace when along with
parenthood there is not the ability to

children are driven out into the work-a-
