BAD SEED OR BUGS, WHICH?
Combat Southern Corn Root Worm
 Which Is Prevalent in Arkansas.

Although the scotsman is blamed for every poor stand of corn and cot ton, an investigation will show in many cases the poor stand is caused by either wire worm or by the South ern corn root worm. These insects to great extent by common sense farm practices.
 Wire worms are long. slender vel Jewish or brown grubs, with smooth. glossy and unusually large bodies. They are the insects which bore in- to a kernel of corn or cotton seed, or in fact any kind of seed, usually at the time that it is germinating These worms are the larvae of the bettles which are variously known as jack snapers, click-beetles, snap-jacks or Mexican fleas. The most important step in the control of this insect is late summer or fall breaking, the earlier the better. After breaking, the land should be allowed to lay in fal- low for about month, during which t1AiAN At SAAOdAA bC PiCnCO a number of times. It may be seeded in the fall with some cover crop. In order to lessen the damage to growing crops one should practice anything that will hasten the growth of the plants. This is to get them past the stage when they are in the most dan. ger
 Southern corn root worms or drill worms. These are slender, yellowish, white grubs about one-half an inch long, which drill into corn stalks and cause them to wilt or even die They are the larvae or grub of the little green cucumber beetle so common dur ing the growing season. Where they are numerous enough to warrant spe- cial treatment the only practical means Of controlling them is to plant the corn late. about May 3. for the southern part of the state, May 12 for the central part, and May 19 for tho northwestern corner Land should be well drained, well cultivated and well fertilized to avoid injury.

Hog cholera, one of the most dan Gerous and infectious diseases, and which usually spreads to all the herds in the neighborhood when once it has appeared, always starts from a sicl. herd or previous infection in the pens. but never spontaneously in the herd or without the animal having once in contact with the living organisms that cause the disease.

Call of the Wheat Fields.
IN the Chicago Herald

From the Chicago Herald.
The wheat harvest will begin in
northern Texas and Oklahoma in two
weeks or less. The wheat states are
calling loudly for men to help them
garner the grain. According to reports
tabulated at Washington. Oklahoma
will need about $4,000 men: Kansas,
10000; Missouri and Iowa. 10000 each:
Nebraska, 5000. and Minnesota and
South Dakota. about 10000 each.
1t is probably somewhat misleading
to sum these requirements. as some
correspondents and commentators do.
and thus give the impression that more
than 100000 men can find steady work
from now till snow flies" Still it is
probable that from 10000 to $4,000
can. moving north with the ripening of
the grain. Oklahomas commissioner of
agriculture is agreeably specific in his
announcement. The state wants $4,000
men for harvest field work. Men who
cannot understand English. however.
had better not come. With no objec-
ton whatever to ''foreigners" as such
there are few districts in that state
where they can be. understood. "A
few Bohemian neighborhoods'' are
mentioned as an exception

TO MAKE LIQUID MANURE.
Homemade Device for Supplying
Valuable Form of Plant Food.

Numerous references are found in
farm and garden publications, as well
as in the garden notes Of The Sunday
Star. to the use of liquid manure. or
manure water, as a valuable and easily
applied plant food. While the usual
manner of making this liquid manure
is to half fill an old burlap bag with
manure, suspend the bag in barrel of
water and dip off the liquid as it is
needed, a better and handler way of
preparing the liquid is this:
Provide a large pail. or, better.
keg or small barrel from which one OF
eral half-inch holes in the side of the
pail, keg or barrel, the holes being
within a quarter of an inch OF the
bottom. Place it on platform raised
a foot and one-half off the ground,
making sure the platform is water
tight, Tack strips of molding or some
thing of the kind around the platform
a couple of inches from the bottom OF
the barrel. fastening them IN such
shape as to form a guide for the flow
of LIQUID and leaving an opening at
the lower edge of the platform, which
is to be slightly tilted toward that
side.
Place a layer couple of inches deep
of straw in the bottom of the barrel
and over this place six or eight inches
of manure, then another layer of straw,
more manure. etc, until the barrel fs
full to within six inches OF the TOP
Make the top layer straw, as this helps
to keep flies from breeding in the
barrel.
To use, pour several pals of water
into the top Of the barrel. placing an
other pail beneath to receive the liquid
that flows through and escapes through
the holes at the bottom. Usually the
liauid will be found too strong for use,
and it should be diluted until 1t is
about the color of strong tea Pro-
vide a cover for the barrel or other
vessel when not in use.
A barrel made and filled in this
manner will supply all the liquid
manure that will be required for
fair-sized garden during an entire sum
mer without the necessity of renewing
or refilling. AS much or little liquid
fertilizer may be made at time as
Is desired, and the manner of making
is much more cleanly than when the
LIQUID is made by the burlap bag plan
and the liquid has to be dipped out as
it is needed.
