The Corn Ear Or Cotton Boil
 Worm.

l
 Worm.
 This is the worm so frequent ly found in the tips of ears o1 lcorn and which later appears ir the cotton bolls as the cotton boil worms.
 l CONTROL MEASURES: Fall breaking would be one of the most beneficial means for con. trolling this pest if it were car ried out on a large scale. In or der to have it's best effect co-op- eration in a community would be necessary. If everybody in a community would find it possible to break all their corn and cotton lands to depth of about six inches each fall conditions would be greatly improved. Since the moth is rather a good flier the effect of fall breaking on a farm would be greatly offset on ac- count of the lack of such a prac- tlce on a neighboring farm. The most reliable means of controll- ing this pest on both corn and cotton is to bend all efforts to getting an early crop. Corn particularly should be planted as early as possible. It should not be planted so early, however, that there is danger of setback. Plant good seed and plant varie- ties that do we'll and then do everything possible along the line of cultivation to stimulate the plants to rapid growth. The object is of course to hurry the plants along so that they will mature before many of the moths have developed. Late corn suffers from the corn ear worm because most of the field corn has hardened up and is no longer fit for food. Moreover more worms have developed and more moths will appear with the result that there will be a con- centrated attack of an increased generation centered on the late corn. Cotton suffers from the attack of this pest at the time that the field corn hardens up cause there is not enough of the tender corn left for the next generation.
 The pest can be easier con- trolled on cotton than on corn. The cotton can be poisoned with of lead as recommended for the cotton army worm. Where the boil worm is a serious pest this practice is a good one. Aside from this one can plant corn as trap. To about every 25 rows of cotton one can leave a skip and later plant about 5 rows of corn. It should be plant ed at a time so that it will come into silk when the field corn har- dens up. Moths which are con- ing from the ifeld corn will then attack this corn in preference to the cotton. This trap corn should be cut and fed to stock before the worms attain a growth of over 1 IA inch. Other wise the worms will leave the ears before they are fed only to go into the ground and emerge later as moths to deposit eggs for larger generation.

WITH NATURES HAIR DYE
Young Lady Visitor to South America
Changed Her Blonde Locks to a
Brilliant Red.

A young woman ran down the
gangway Of the ship just in from
South American ports, and flung her
arms about the neck Of man who
had been waving to her.
Gracious, Natalie!" he cried,
whats the matter with your hair?
It's red and it was blonde when you
went away"
oh" smiled the young woman,
that's the result of shampoo from
the water. of little lake in lea, Peru"
She told that during a recent visit
to lea she had found that the Indians
there had their hair tinted every inn
aginable color. She learned that they
dyed their hair with the waters of
several small lakes in lea, all OF which
contained water of different colors
II thought that l would look so
much better If my hair was deep
red, so | went to the lake containing
the reddish water named Huacachina,
and shampooed my hair 1t certainly
worked fine"

SURE TO GET MIXED, ANYWAY
HotelkeepeTs Reasoning Settled All
Argument About Clean Plate
for the Drummer

The drummer from New York was
making his first trip through Maine
and had travelled up into the ARGOS.
took region. where the towns are
small and far apart and the chief prod
ucts potatoes and Christmas trees.
Here he stopped over night in a
hamlet that possessed merely very
primitive inn. At dinner there was
no soup. but he was served with fish.
Then instead OF his plate being
changed the waitress came with a
platter of meat and placed a generous
helping carefully on one side of the
fish bones. The drummer did not balk
at that for he was very hungry and
ready to pass over almost anything
for the sake Of a good meal, and he
though 1t might be the regular Maine
style.
Presently, however, the girl brought
In another platter full OF pieces of pie
and one Of these she slid OF on the
same plate. Then the traveller thought
1t time to call halt, for he had not
yet become used to pie with fish
flavor.
The serving maid was a bit uncer-
tain whether he could have the clean
plate he requested and called the
landlord in, to whom the guest ex-
planned his trouble. The host listened
attentively, but when the drummer
finished he withered that modest New
Yorker with look OF scorn and de-
manded:
What do you want of all them diff.
ferent plates, anyway? Have you got
partitions on your insides?"
And the drummer, realizing that the
hotel was charging him only $3.50 a
day, which had been exacted in ad.
vance, meekly subsidized and ate his
pie humbly.

Home-Thrust.

"All sorts and conditions Of men
have excellent explanations for their
position in life" said the senator, "A
tramp, however, came under my OBJ
servation who had no illusions about
the cause of his own condition.
"a fine looking and fashionably
dressed woman had just alighted from
her limousine at the hotel entrance,
and was suddenly approached by this
shabbily dressed man, who requested
a dime.
No, have no money to spare
for you. do not see why an able
bodied man like you should go about
begging
Il s'pose, ma'am,' replied the lazy
tramp, it's fer about the same rea-
son that healthy woman like you
boards at a hotel instead of keepin'
house "-Harper's Magazine.

Oysters uns and Downs.

The total number of persons en-
gagged in the oyster industry OF the
entire United States is 67,257, with
yearly wages amounting to $40, 7S6S01,
and the capital invested, excluding
the value of the private beds. is $751;
SS00S2, the Christian Herald observes.
The yield of oysters for 1918 was 49,
9SS,S15 bushels, an average of third
of bushel for every man, woman and
child in the country. Every restau.
rant, however humble or wherever
situated, as we'll as every great hotel
is expected during the season to have
oysters on the bill of fare In olden
times the epicures of Athens and other
cities close to the ocean had an abund-
ance of shellfish such as we use, and
enjoyed them very much. But to the
Jews this kind Of food was forbidden
by their law, which, allowing certain
kinds of fish, rejected much sea food,
including the oyster, which was prob
ably little known to the ancients.
And whatsoever hath not fins and
scales we may not eat; 1t is unclean
unto you" (Deut. 14:10.

Family and Morals.

All theories of the origin and de-
velopment OF morals agree on one
point, that the family is the root out of
which sympathy and the social vir-
tues have grown, however religion and
social laws may have varied. What is
right in married lie is like that which
is right in the larger life of society.
What the strong lind useful becomes
duty to the weak.
Although some morals have had a
religious beginning. the morals that
have sprung from life and its needs
e the ones whiIh have endured. Re-
ligious codes OF morals have only re-
NAMED important when they have
adapted themselves to social life in its
changing forms. ELLEN Key.

Torment Of Cold,

I thank heaven that l know what
1t is to be cold; to be cold from the
crown of the head to the sole of the
foot, to be cold from the cuticle to the
heart, and from the heart to the soul;
thank heaven for it, because, know
ing this, have a new revelation of the
possibility Of suffering, and | am able
to find paradise in a common wood
fire.
Knowing this, declare to you there
is not more pathetic sight in the
world than poor man who is thor
oughly cold from week to week. 1t is
the refinement of torture.
1t does not gnaw like hunger; which
presently becomes a sort of insanity
and relieves itself; 1t is a dead, un.
blest, icy torment. / used to see men
in the army whose silent endurance of
cold brought more tears to my eyes
than all the hunger and all the
wounds.-Sidney Lanier.

MADE UP OF SMALL THINGS
Even the. Most Insignificant Words
and Acts May Be Productive Of
Joy or the Reverse.

A wild birds song is a little thing
lost in the deeps of frowning sky.
And yet as 1t falls on listening
ear and leaves its message of melody,
earth's green seems brighter and life
is sweeter, all through an autumn day.
The coo of babe is little thing
meaningless sound from a vacant
mind.
But it's the only sound that all ma
tions heed; the one clear language all
races know.
A mothers love is little thing-too
soon, alas, forgot.
But 1t typifies to blind humankind
the love and trust and hope divine
that bear with patience calm and
sweet the wilful wrongs in these lives
of ours.
A passing smile is little thing
lost in world of toll and care.
And yet the soul with gloom OPP
pressed and the life grown wearied
with burdens hard will happier be in
the dlter-BloW VI euhuo that 10
warmly kind.
A kindly word is a little thing-a
breath that goes and a sound that
dies.
But the heart that gives and the
heart that hears may know that it
sings and sings and sings till at last
1t blends with the wild birds song,
and the coo OF babes in what men call
the celestial choir.-Utica Saturday

Knowledge and SPELLING.

1t is jolly to read among all the
contests Of spelling reformers that we
bad spoilers spell badly because we

Of myself. When once you know three
or four languages-say French. Latin.
Greek and English-you can never be
certain what is the accepted way OF
spelling such words as apartment" or

German and Spanish make for despair

BUSINESS NOT ALL OF LIFE
Time Should Be Taken for Cultivation
Of Graces That Make Existence
Worth the Having.

Business in its widest sense of COM
merce and industry is only means to
an end, remarks the Chicago Evening
Post. II Is an instrumental activity,
buttressing and bulwarking of a
personal and social life that should be
bigger and more important than any
of the tools by which 1t maintains
itself. To make business an end in
itself, to devote ones whole life to It
instead of merely safeguarding ones
life by it, is not only mistake, but a
blighting one. For business inevitably
makes demands on mans character
which would rapidly scar and scar it
If the contrary demands of culture,
religion and the art of using leisure
did not counteract
A little illustration of this tendency
only straw in point of size, but not
without Its indicative value-is given
by German manufacturers. They are
sending out slips to all their CORE
spondents asking them to omit all
forms of courtesy in their future cor
respoudence. Terms equivalent to
our Dear Sir" and Yours truly"
waste too much time. With half
mans life spent on a schedule of
such severe utilitarianism as that, the
need for counteracting mood of APP
probation, of the cultivation of the
graces of life, is obvious. The idea
of devoting all ones activities to the
demands Of such spirit-and too
many men do just that's revolving
to the most rudimentary sense of rela-
tive values in human life

The Hardest Prayer.

The chances are that in nearly all
cases those of US who say we want
the best for our friends, wish them to
take that best in our way, from our
hands and for our Joy. If the best for
them should be that they leave us,
how many of us could really pray for
that best? After all, how foolish it is
not to believe in the vision and i'm
pulse of others for themselves. Men
fail the comforts of life when they do
not trust its gentle leading for their
friends.
