FALL FLOWING FOR THE
 CONTROL OF INSECTS

Where the succession of crops permits. fall blowing will be particularly advantageous this fall as 1t will destroy large numbers of in- sects that do damage to staple crops. Cut worms, corn ear-7Vornas, may beetles, click beetles 6the adults oi the wire worIns1 grasshoppers and army worms will be greatly reduced in numbers by fall blowing. This is accomplished by turning out these i'm sects at a crucial stage of develop ment and exposing them to the frosrs and rains or in breaking open the cells in which they are transforInirls.
 Late fall blowing is best but early fall blowing followed by thorough narrowing will be helpful in eontroil- ing these insects. This is good Prac- tice each year, but it Is especially recommended this fall in view of the presence of an unusual number or sswhite grubs'' in the soil and the fast that the army worm has been so np- merous during the summer. Since the natural enemies of the army worm increase with the increase Of the pest it is not unusual in New England for this pest to be as destructive the tote lowing year yet it would be adv1ss5ol- for farmers to take every precautioA- with a view to slbduing this insect.- cx IF T,annsou ESneonnoIogi

APPLE GROWERS ADVISED
 TO USE COLD STORAGE.
Department of Agriculture Tells of Method for Keeping Apples and ProIonging Marketing Perfod-Fs- peclaliy Useful i'm View of Interser- ence With European Market for American Fruit

Washington, Sept. 2s.-In view of the interference with the European market and the large production Of American apples this season, special ists of the Department of Agriculture call the attention of apple growers to the advantages of cold storage for steadying the market at harvest and for lengthening the selling period.
 G1utting of the market will result it is feared, in many thousands Of barrels of good apples rotting in the orchard or being disposed of at prices which figure a net loss to the grower.
 The following are the directions given by the apple handling special ists of the Department for using cold storage successfully in handling apples:
 The proper function of cold storage is to retard the ripening processes of the fruit and the development of de- cay organisms and skin b1emishes The first responsibility for the keeping quality of his fruit rests with the grower since it is his growing and

other irritating things that i'll the air. to a. great extent at certain seasons as we'll as the liability of the surface of the body to sudden changes causes the acute symptoms. The cause must first exist in the individual. The moisture of precipitation is on the clothing and change from one room to another or from sunshine to shade causes the pores of the skin to close. The moisture that was previously be- ing thrown off rapidly is suddenly thrown inward, sneezing, followed by watery discharges results. As said before, the cause is not in the hay or ragweed or dust, but in the sufferer and these things simply aggravate the trouble. You get relief through the highly attenuated doses of salt, but the same cause that brought on the trouble in the first place may bring it on again.
 All persons who suffer from Hay Fever or Coryza. as it is more prop erly called, should foD the time being live almost exclusively upon fresh fruits, nuts and green vegetables, as much as possible Of the latter in the raw state and all should be eaten without salt They should guard against sudden change of tempera- ture, keep from constipation and the mind free from worry. Swimming should be indulged in freely and if this is not available take cold sitz baths at night before retiring.

CLUE NOTES.

Dear Doctor AS have read sev- era1 of your lectures in the Home Health Club columns I thought that you would be willing to give me some much needed advise. I am the oldest daughter on a large farm where there are many men, hired help and stock men. coming and going, I feel that often the bed linen and towels need other care than the usual wash. Would you kindly tell me of g disin- fectant that will render the articles fit for use and make the cleansing of them safe for the person doing it.

 There is no sterilizing agent more powerful than heat. The simple act of boiling any sheet or pillow case, tow q or underwear renders it. perfect ly sterile. suggest, however. that you procure 8 pair of rubber gloves, such as many housekeepers wear while washing dishes, and always wear these gloves while handling any bedding or other clothing that is at all suspicious. Wash the gloves thor oughly with soap in warm, not hot water taking them off after handling the soiIed linen.
