If rotation cannot be practiced, cu!-
tivation will tend to reduce injury by
the aphis.
Doctor Forbes, state entomologist
Of Illinois, says Of CIVILIZATIONS: 1.-The
burrows of these ants do not often
reach to a depth of more than six
inches, and if blowing to this depth is
followed by a deep stirring of the
ground with disc harrow. -
the attempts Of the ants to recover
their property and to reconstruct
their nests are greatly disturbed and
rendered largely fruitless. The more
thoroughly, frequently, and deeply
the ground is stirred in the interval
between the first blowing and the
corn planting, the fewer will the
root lice in the field in the beginning
of the season. Fortunately
the labor Of this treatment of the
field will usually be more than repaid
by an improvement Of the corn crop
Independent of all protection against
aphis injury, this being practically
the preparation for corn especially
recommended by our best teachers OF
high grade agriculture. and practiced
by some Of our most successful farm.

BE RID OF CORN ROOT Apis

by a. l.. WEBSTER. lows Agricultural
Experiment station.
Wherever the corn root aphis, or
root louise, has been destructive to
the corn crop it is a good time now to
make plans for its determination the
coming year. Destructive as this lit
tie pest is, it may be killed out quite
readily. .....
The most effective step that can
be taken against the insect is to es-
tablish a system Of crop rotation
which calls for only one or two con-
secutive crops Of corn. While the
aphis feeds to some extent on other
plants than corn, yet if different
crop is put on land infested by the
insect it's growth may be effectively
checked. Where a system of crop
rotation is we'll established and car
ried out, little injury is often in
fGted by the aphis. y.

FEDERATION REPORT OF CHAIRMAN CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

The general federation appointed its
first committee on civil service reform
less than three years ago. There was
then q widespread impression that
anything relative to civil service meant
politics and for several years only the
most advanced clubs had taken up
the subject. Yet, in this twentieth
century it is the civil service rather
than the military service that reflects
a nations character. Under civil ser
vice are included all national, state.
city and county officers who receive
their positions by appointment.
The question to be considered is
this: Shall the administration OF our
public institutions and the enforce
ment of our laws be trusted to trained
men and women who understand each
his especial work or shall the salaries
of these offices, by favor of some boss,
be handed over to political henchmen!
At the head of our insane asylum do
we want a specialist in nervous dis
eases or a politician who needs a job?
DO we want a policeman who takes
pride in an orderly. law abiding beat
or CRATER who divides spells with
criminals.
More than forty of the state fedora
tons have appointed a civil service re-
form committee and the national
chairman confidently hopes that the
next biennial will see every state fed
