Alfalfa WeeViI With Machine
Put Out By Government

The small insect known as the
alfalfa weevil, which has caused so
much damage to alfalfa and other
crops in western states, and whose
depredations brought about a Guaran-
tine on Utah agricultural products
and produce by other states last
year, will be entirely stamped out
this year if machine invented by
George /. Reeves, United States ento-
mologist, proves as efficient as gov
ernment officials who have seen it
believe it will be- The machine is
simple and can be manufactured and
used at small cost, but it is be-
lieved that it will kill The alfalfa
weevil on an entire field by being used
once.
The instrument can be manufact-
ured for about so. 1t consists of
twenty-foot iron pipe with twenty
small holes bored in the top at GER
tain intervals along its entire length
It will be placed on the rear end of
wagon carrying gasoline engine,
pump and tank containing arsenic
poisoning. AS the wagon is driven
over the field the pump will force the
! poison from the tank into the pipe
and it will spray from the small holes
over the field, covering swath of
| twenty feet or more at a time and
effectively killing all the weevils.
While Mr.. Reeves will not say posi-
lively that his machine will solve the
alfalfa problem that government men
have been working on in the inter
mountain country for many years, he
has great faith in the contrivance
and believes that on application to
a field will stamp out all the weevil
in it, He says that in the average
alfalfa field infected with the weevil
there are about 100000 of the pests.
The machine will not be patented,
but if the results obtained by the ex-
periments which Mr.. Reeves and his
assistants will conduct prove to be
satisfactory the department of agri-
culture will publish directions and
plans for its manufacture and use and
farmers will be advised to utilize it
to rid their fields of the pest-New

tAKNS UULLEGE COURSE
ON TWO ACRE FARM
Lad of Seventeen Clears $500
by His Industry.

Waterloo, la. - An income of $500
from two acres within few months
is the record made last summer by
Glenn Trapp, seventeen-year-old boy
The boy, who formerly was news
carrier, paid for his land with the
onions that he raised and made neat
sum in addition on other vegetables.
A desire to earn enough money to
60 to college was the incentive for the
venture by young Trapp, Early last
spring he purchased two acres OF
ground in Beaver Gardens, ten miles
north of Des Moines. on the Perry In
terurban. The land cost him $500. and
he made the first payments with
money he had earned and saved while
carrying papers.
The boy erected tent on his two
acres and lived there during the sum
mer, doing his own cooking and work
ing from dawn till dark on his small
farm. He planted the most Of his
land to onions, also putting in few
melons, potatoes and sweet corn. By
thinning out his onion crop early in
the summer he realized nearly $50 on
young onions. The onions he harvest
ed later are recognized by experts to
be about the best grade and quality
that have been raised in Iowa. He
took out nearly 600 bushels of onions.
for which he received 81 per bushel.
His melons, potatoes and sweet corn
have brought him an additional in
come.
Within another year Trap expects
10 have sufficient funds to complete
a full college course. His success
with his two acres is considered an
excellent example of the possibilities

WOMEN OF Japan.
Tho Old Time "Three Obedienees" No
Longer Dominate Her.

Longer Dominate Her.
From the beginning of Japanese his.
tory to the introduction of Chinese
civilization women occupied very
high place in Japan and filled positions
of importance and honor in state, re-
ligion and household. Several en-
presses at different times ruled the en-
pire. The greatest lights in the world
Of pure japanese literature are both
women-Murasaki Shikibu and Sci
Shonagon. Their superb productions.
"Genji Monogatari' and "Makurano
Soshi," are strong proofs Of a large
measure of liberty and of high posi-
ton in society enjoyed by women Of
the time. 1t was chiefly the Confu
clan doctrine of the three obediences:
Obedience, while yet unmarried, to a
father; obedience. while married. to
husband: obedience, while widowed, TO
a son, that changed the primitive state
of comparative freedom and indcpsnd.
ence of womsn. Buddhism and feudak
ism contributed also to place women
in an inferior position and state of de-
pendence.
Many Americans assume that women
still occupy an inferior position In ia
pan under the law. But this is not
true. During the last fifty years fe-
male education has spread throughout
the country. Western Jurisprudence
has superseded Chinese and great
revolution has come over the social
| and legal position Of woman. The
new civil code of Japan created new
legal woman 1t proceeds upon the
principle of equality of the sexes and
makes no distinction between men
and women in their enjoyment and ex-
ercise of private rights so long as the
woman remains single. She may now
become the head Of the house. She
may exercise parental authority over
her child If her husband be dead she
may adopt children. she may make
contracts, acquire or dispose of prop
erty in her own name. In short. she
MAY be a party to any legal transac-
ton so long as she remains unmarried.
When she is married her state of GOV.

certain acts. such as contracting debts

But even though she does these acts
without her husbands permission, they
are not void. but only voidabie.-

POT CLOTHES

Use old stocking tops for clothes
with which to handle hot pans and
dishes while cooking. These cloths
will be found more pliable than the
usual stiff pot cloths, says the Wash
ington Herald. If black or brown
stockings are used, the cloths will not
show snoil. Cut half dozen thick
nesses into squares; turn in the edges
and overcast. Sew loop of tape to
one corner and hang on hook beside
the stove. This useful little helper
will save your cup towels from the
many burns and misuses to which
they are often put by the average
maid-of- all-work.

Fruit Yield In Ohio And All
Over The Country

Unusually large yields of fruit are
in prospect in Ohio, according to the
June report of the state agricultural
commission. Present indications are
for a fruit yield of 81 per cent, as
against SO at this time last year.
Reports from the fruit-growing sec
tions of the country vary consider
ably, although in the main they are
favorable.
Apples promise heavy yield in
Maryland and North Carolina, the
finest crop in the history of Colorado,
an unusual crop in Michigan, good
crops in Virginia, Georgia and South
Carolina and prospects in other
states generally are good or above
average, according to reports of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Insect pests killed many old orch
ards in New England, and damage
from tent caterpillars was common
from Maine to New York. Some in
jury was suffered in Indiana and
Illinois from late freeze, and in
sect injuries are reported particu-
larly in Indiana, Illinois and Mis-
souri,
The commercial apple crop was
considerably less in 1913 than the
preceding year, shipments by rail
and water indicating it was ga per
cent of the 1912 season This
movement, which constitutes one
fourth or one-ifth of the total crop,
amounted to 2S,653,OOO bushels, of
which New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey shipped 12,O23,OO
bushels and Washington, Oregon and
California 4,144,000 bushels.
A bumper peach crop is indicated
in West Virginia and a large one in
Georgia. A light yield is indicated
in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia,
where late frost did injury, as it did
in the North Atlantic states from
Maine to New Jersey. In the middle
west, southern Kansas alone reports
good prospects. Colorado reports
favorable prospects.

Pewter is again to the fore If you

The most artistic pieces of pewter,

of it were least conscious of the art
revealed, thinking more of the dura-
