What He wanted.

THE palaces Of our millionaires are
undoubtedly the most beautiful In the
world said noted New York archi-
tect the other day. The American
millionaire has, as a rule, an aesthetic
sense. He isn't like Cashley Of Chill
licothe.
"Cashley, last winter, visited the Ri
viera. Arriving at the Palace hotel in
Nice, he said to the clerk
Gimme the dearest room in the
house, young Teller
Yes, SIR said the clerk. And
would you prefer, sir, sea view or a
mountain vew--a view of the Medi-
terranean, or a view of the Maritime
Alps?'
"'Oh, don't care nothin' about
that, said Cashley The dearest room
in the house. young feller-thats what
| want"

contended that the experiments OF the
department have not been conducted
on a sufficiently large scale. On this
account an unusually large experiment
which was provided by natural con.
ditions In Louisiana is of interest
In the spring of 1918 there was an
overflow by Bayou de Glaize in Avoy-
Giles parish, occurring in May and
continuing until early In June. On
one side of the bayou strip of land
one mile long and from eight to ten
miles wide was flooded. The levee on
the opposite side OF the bayou re.

early on the one side and late on. the
other. 1t has furnished a large scale
contrast between the two methods OF
planting In the same locality and on
identical soil formations.

made by the bureau of entomology

the bayou on May 20 yielded $50

acre. In 1911 on the same field he
produced half bale per acre.

COVER CROPS AND MANURES
Washing Of Land and Exhaustina of
Humus Of Soils Result In Ire
mendous Loss to South.

A most hopeful thing in Southern
agriculture Is the increased interest in
winter cover and pasture crops. The
bulk Of the queries coming to the
Southern Agriculturist lately, says the
editor Of that publication. have been
about green manure crops and meth
DDS of seeding and fertilizing them.
Such interest is a cause for greatest
optimism.
The washing OF Southern lands and
the exhausting Of the humus Of the
soils result In a tremendous loss.
Methods Of farming have been largely
responsible. The winter cover crop to
hold the land and to make green
manure to turn under to very large
extent meets the. need and stops this
leak that annually results in loss Of
millions of dollars worth of fertility.
May the number of cover crop and
green manure farmers steadily in
crease until soon the Southern land
scapes won't be brown, but green,
throughout the winters.

POTATO PEST SPREADS
Two Measures Recommended
for Control of Insects.
Moth Has Now Reached State of
Texas and Menaces Adjacent
States-Clean Cultivation and
Rotation Recommended.

Clean methods of cultivation and
crop rotation are two measures rec
commended for the control of the po-
tato-tuber moth in Farmers Bulletin
No. 557, which has just been issued
by the bureau of entomology of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
The potato-tuber moth has been the
worst potato pest in California and
has been know as an enemy to tobac'
co for several years in Florida, the
Carolinas and Virginia, Only last
year the scientists discovered how
rapidly this devastating pest is spread
ing. 1t has now reached the states
of Washington and Texas and menaces
adjacent states. AS an enemy of egg
plant and ground cherry 1t has been
observed as far north as the Dis
trict of Columbia.
This new bulletin recommends clean
methods of cultivation as the first
measure for destroying the potato
tuber moth. This implies that all In
| tested plants and such weeds as the
ground cherry. bull nettles and horse
nettles, growing in the vicinity of the
potatoes, must be destroyed This
can be done by prompt burning as
soon as 1t is evident that the insect
has attacked the plants The burning
of these weeds will eliminate places
for breeding of the insect, and places
where it might spend the winter. Do
nestle animals, such as sheep and
hogs, are also valuable for the de.
struction of such insects as might re.
main in old tubers and weeds. They
may be utilized by merely turning
them into the field

are several alternate food crops which

such crops as beans, peas, cowpeas,
alfalfa and clover These possess a
double value, because they all act as
soil restorers as well. Sugar beets,
celery and crucifers are also good as
alternate food crops. Grains may
serve in the same way, as they are
not attacked by the tuber moth. Care
in digging is advisable in order not
to cut into the tuber, or leave the
dug potatoes in the field over night,
which might give the insects chance
to attack those which had not been
removed
