Guard Against Possible Dry Season
BY Narrowing Grain Now.
Now that the seeding is practically
done, the farmers in many sections
will await developments for the har-
vest season. At the present time,
much of the grain region throughout
the northwest needs rain. There was
considerable moisture in the soil at
seeding time but continued dry wealth
er will soon exhaust the surface mois-
ture, and unless. the ground is stirred
for cultivated crop, there is great
danger that we will have reduced
yields at harvest time. If every farm
er having grain fields would use
spike-tooth harrow with the teeth
turned back, and harrow his grain
when it is about one inch above the
ground, he will help to hold the mois-
ture in the soil, and he will also kill
many of the weeds already started.
This narrowing with the teeth turned
back will not hurt the grain; in fact
it will do it good. Narrowing of the
grain can be carefully carried on I'M
til the grain has grown to three inches
in height. This narrowing of grain af-
ter seeding, and as it is coming
through the soil, should come to be a
common practice, and it is urgently
Do not, however, use
spike-tooth harrow unless the teeth
can be slaned back. This narrowing,
as recommended above, is very neces-
sary should our growing season hap
pen to be dry one If there is plenty
Of moisture during the entire growing
season it will also be helpful and
the beneficial results will be very
noticeable in either dry or wet sea-
son. Do not wait, but do this harrow

When and Where to Swat.

Fly screens keep most of the flies
and mosquitoes out of the house.
SKATERS are only intended to put
on the finishing touches. The best
time to use the fly swatters is just
before meal times. If the kitchen and
dining room doors and windows are
well screened, it takes only few
minutes to swat the few flies that get
in, and then you can prepare and eat
a meal in peace and safety. Try it
once.
Right now is the time to get in your
best work on the fly. Go after his
breeding place. 1t is ten-to-one shot
that somewhere around your premises
there are accumulations of horse
or garbage, or other even
worse fly breeding material. Remove
it, bury it, or have it plowed under
before the flies beat you to it.

HEALTH AND HYGIENE

Don't domesticate the fly this sum-
mer. Keep him out of the house,
where he belongs. We can at least
keep him away from our food OF
course, it would be ideal to abolish
flies altogether, to stamp out the
whole race of flies and then never
have to bother about them any more,
but we can't hope for that for at
least long time yet. When it comes
to annihilating any particular pest,
bug or insect by ordinary human
power, it becomes big job. About
the best we can do is to introduce
some other pest, bug, insect or ma
tural enemy and let him do the work
for us, and even introducing a natur-
al enemy does not always succeed.
For the time being, therefore, we
may about as well content ourselves
with screening our houses to keep
most of the flies out. At best, flies are
more or less of an unnecessary evil
If we would keep flies out of our
houses, groceries, markets and milk
rooms, about ninety per cent of the
damage they do would be prevented.
Fly swatters have their legitimate
place, but don't think for a minute
that fly swatter takes the place of
well screened doors and windows
Screens are on the job all the time,
but you can't afford to be on the job
very long with your little swatter.

tariff means protection to the rice
farmer and the grower against the
cheap labor of the Orient. Rice is
raised in those countries on a basis
of sc to zoe day, and on a unit of
the family, the commodity raised be-
ing the price paid. In years of plenty
this rice is forced to market and the
question of price cuts no figure. AS
compared with the total worlds sup
ply of rice, the United States crop is
about one-third of one per cent OF the
total, as 100000 is to 100000, so
that a very small proportion of sur
plus dumped into the United States
would have a most disastrous effect"
The witness, in response 20 ques-
tons, said that if the duties on rice
and sugar are abolished Louisiana
would suffer a setback such as has
not been experienced since the civil
war. The rice lands would be turned
back to grazing lands and the Valua-
ton would decrease from $50 to under
