THE WAR

(By Mrs. Geo. MUMMY, Belding)
Yes, they're having war in Europe.
Listen, hear old Satan laugh
AS the fighting spreads all over,
Like fire in a bed Of chan.
No need now to picture Hades'
In a life beyond the grave
II you want to see the real thing
Take boat and cross the wave.
There's no pity for the wounded
Wives and children driv'n from
home.
Thro' the bleak November weather
Cold and hungry now they roam.
Fathers on grain fields are lying,
Slaughtered by their fellow man
or what use is all this suff' ring?
Tell me that, now, if you can.
There's no form of sin and anguish
Known to mortals here on earth
But by war, sir. IL has prospered,
And by war was given birth.
Are they really Christian nations,
Those in war who take such pride
Then send word to heather nations
OF the Prince of Peace who died.

DETECTING THE HEssIAN FLY IN
THE WHEAT FIELDS

At this season OF the year the Hes
sian fly begins TO make its presence
known in the fields of young wheat.
The eggs are always laid on the sur
face OF the leaves. and the maggots,
as soon as they hatch, make their way
down the leaf 20 point just above
the roots OF the young plant. There
the young maggots become embedded
i'm the tissue and begin TO feed upon
the juices OF the plant. Very few
farmers are able 10 detect the presence
of the Hessian fly in their fields until
much later in the season, after the
plants have become brown and dead.
In the meantime they are likely either
10 mistake the pest for other insects
that may be present in abundance or
to overlook it's presence entirely.
The occurrence of the pest may be
very easily detected by any farmer
provided he understands and observes
the difference between infested ana
uninfested plants. The leaves of an
infested wheat plant are always
broader and have the appearance OF

many farmers fail 10 obtain full bene-
tit from turning under legume crops
for green manure because OF the lack
Of root nodules. The chief benefit OF
legume crops is due TO minute soil
bacteria which grow in association
with the roots OF the legume plant
and convert the nitrogen of the air In
TO available plant food. Furthermore,
with each legume crop is associated
it's own individual strain OF material.
For example. the bacteria which
grow upon the roots of alfalfa will not
develop with the lima bean. In areas
over which any particular legnme has
been grown for a number of years IL Is
generally found that the soil is natur'
ally inoculated. but when nature has
not already provided the proper bac-
terra in the soil artificial incubation
is essential Introducing new kinds
OF crops into any locality usually re-
auires the introduction of the proper
bacteria for the new legume. This
may be accomplished either by scat
tering soil dug from a field OF a we'll
inoculated crop Of the same kind or
by moistening the seeds Of the legume
crop to he planted with culture OF
the proper variety of bacteria. The
4 United States Department of Agricui-
4 ture has cultivated and distributed
I LIQUID pure cultures of these beneficial
4 bacteria for several years.
I In general it may be said that in
oeulation presents few difficulties to
those who are willing to do work care
fully Whether naturally inoculated
soil or artificial cultures should be
used depends upon local conditions
when soil is used great care should
be exercised To dig it only from fields
that are free from Objectionable weeds
and from serious plant disease.

;. OF MS GREAT ROAD WORK

In an institution the size OF the
University OF Michigan, il usually
takes several years for man To make
good in the faculty. This is the rule,
all right, but the exception is found
in the case OF John Cox. former coun-
ty surveyor in Branch, who gave up
his work there 10 take a position in
the engineering department OF the
University of Michigan.
1t has only been in recent years that
the engineering department Of Michi-
gans state university has assumed
such great proportions. 1t used to be
that the University of Michigan was
scaled pretty low when IL came TO the
engineering department. Then Mort
inner T.. Cooley took charge Of the de-
partment, and now the man who
graduates from the engineering de-
partment at the University Of Michi-
gan has the stamp of approval dis
played prominently. Dean Cooley.
himself a practical man who went to
Ann Arbor with national reputation
and fund of knowledge gathered
from the ends of the earth. began to
pick men for his staff that We're every
inch practical men and could turn out
young men properly equipped To start
doing things Immediately upon
graduation. A great share of his sue
cess is due to the judgment used in
selecting men for the faculty
John Cox measured up to Dean
Cooley's standard when he took over
the courses in highway engineering
last fall, and since then the highway
engineering department has been on
the boom. Before Cox went in, the
highway engineering courses were
rather overlooked. Now all of the
courses are crowded and the courses
in road building are soon to be put in
to a separate department. Last May
the second annual engineering exhibit
was held in Ann Arbor and was one OF
/ the biggest things of it's kind ever at
tempted. Each department had re-
markable exhibits prepared. The dis
play made by the students OF the high
way engineering courses were among

Good Roads Association

the most interesting shown. Every
kind OF road construction known, from
the gravel type to the wood block
pavement, was shown in all stages
The exhibits were in miniature, and in
connection with them a display of
road building machinery was given.
all OF these miniature machines in full
operation. 1t was the first time that
the highway courese had been pushed
in front OF the people SO that 1t at
tracted a great deal OF attention.
The regents of the university were
not slow 10 see the Importance OF the
department. They had watched the
growth OF the good roads work all
over the state, they had seen the de-
mand for a greater knowledge OF
scientific road building, and they
meant to meet that demand with an
adequate supply.
Cox has now been put on the uni
yersity extension course; that is, he is
sent out at the expense of the univer-
sity to lecture throughout the state on
modern road building methods. That
wasn't the biggest step, however
They reached a good many people that
way but they didn't reach them all
At the last regents meeting 1t was
voted to turn over TO Mr. Cox the
modest sum OF 100 for him to spend
i'm arranging for a weeks instruction
course at the university for county
road commissioners all over the state.
This plan of bringing men to the uni
versity for special courses OF instruc-
ton and special series of demonstra-
tons. had been tried out before along
different lines and had been sue
cess. 1t is expected that the ROAD
commissioners week will be the big
gest success yet. This week or IN
struction will be held sometime this
fall.

Answer--The originator OF all the

English fancier. There are now sew

For MoultiGS Birds
Dear Sir: Will you please write me
what feed and medicine, If any. to
give my chickens, to hasten them
through the moulting period. Thank
ing you for direct reply, ! beg to re-
main, yours truly, e. c. b.
Answer-If your birds have moult-
ed or shed their old feathers and the
new ones are coming in | would advise
YOU to feed only food that will raise
quick growth Linseed meal is good,
also sunfiower seed and green bone.
would not advise medicine during the
moulting period. Good wholesome
food and proper care and attention Is
better than all medicines.
