About the next pest this sec
ton is to be afflicted with is the
tent caterpillar. About the only
way to get rid of them, says a
government expert is to spray.
Any of the arsenical insecticides
may be used, as Paris green,
Scheeles green, arsenate of lead,
etc. The first two are used al
the rate of 1-2 pound to so gal
Ions of water. Milk of lime
from ? to 3 pounds of stone lime
should be added to neutralize any
caustic effect of the arsenical on
the foliage. Arsenate of lead is
used at the rate of 2 pounds to
each so gallons of water. In
spraying for the tent caterpillar
only, applications should be made
while the caterpillars are yet
small, as these succumb more
quickly to poisions than those
more nearly full grown, and
prompt treatment stops further
defoliation of the trees.

German Nation
Was Prepared.

Whether one IS Tor or against
Germany, all fair minded men
must admit the fact that the ma
ton is putting up a most mag
nifcent fight. w. d. Boyce OF
Farmers Business" tells an in
teresting story Of events hap
pening before war was declared.
Forty years ago the German
Government made careful study
of what is necessary to make a
thoroughly stable, self support
ing and independent nation. II
was decided that the nation
rested on three legs, Manufac-
lures, Labor and Agriculture.
Conditions in the first two named
were satisfactory, but the third
leg, agriculture, was found to BIZ
weak, there was not enough pro-
duced at home to support the peo-
pie without shipments from the
outside.
The first step in this CAM
paign of Strengthening her agri-
culture consisted in stimulating
the interest of her people in agri-
cultural pursuits of all kinds.
Then all her available lands
must be brought under cultiva-
ton, or put to such other uses as
grazing. All lands under culti-
walton must be stimulated to tn
highest state of production.
Every branch of agriculture was
fostered and stimulated to the
highest possible degree. A higl
tariff wall was erected against
the agricultural products Of
other nations so as to stimulate
their production at home.
This desired end was accom-
plished before the present war
broke out, so that today she is
independent of the outside world.
She can be held in forced isola-
tion by her enemies, like a be-
sieged city or fortress, and still
she can feed her armies and all
her other inhabitants, and con-
tinue to conduct her internal
activities and industries. Is it
any wonder that she is able to
say to her people through posters
and other means "Wir kennen
uicht ausgehuugert werden'
( which may be translated as
meaning, we cannot be starved
,ut)?

Special Notice!
Avoid Planting Abandoned Wheat
Fields to Corn Where Chinch
Bugs are Presect

washington, ~. u, mdy ~, ID
In local areas of Kansas, Okla
homa, Missouri and Nebraska
the Hessian fly, during the pas
fortnight, has been found IL
large numbers in the wheat fields
according to reports received By
the entomologists of the United
Stated Department of Agricul
ture. Some farmers in southern
Kansas and Oklahoma have be-
come alarmed to the extent o.
replanting their fields to corn,
Whether the wheat is infested tC
a degree to warrant abandonment
is difficult to Judge. However,
it has been the experience oil
many farmers that sometimes
wheat which has apparently been
killed by the Hessian fly will
retiller, or a few tillers which
are not infested will develop into
especially large heads and yield
8, 10 or perhaps 20 bushels Of
wheat. For this reason the far
mer should be very careful about
blowing under his crop, especi'
ally at this early date. If the
crop continues to fail to show
progress for another 10 days,
then it will be time to plant kafiI
or corn, but only provided tht
field is comparatively free from
chinch bugs.
The experience of farmers it,
certain localities where wheat
uas been killed in other years BY
the Hessian fly or freezes, and
replanted to corn, is, that such
corn was often destroyed BY
chinch bugs. Therefore, if the
farmer thinks his wheat will not
be worth harvesting, and desires
to replant it to corn or kafir, hi
should investigate very carefully
to learn to what extent the field
is infested with chinch bugs. II
chinch bugs are not present IN
large numbers and the field Is
planted to corn, care must bt
aiken that all of the wheat plants
are killed in order to destroy the
Hessian fly that are on these
plants. The best method for
handling a field previously des
troyed by the fly appears to bt
that of pasturirg closely, and
then blowing under the stubble.
However, the plan of crop rota-
ton may be such as to make II
more feasible to pillow under the
heavily infested wheat for greer
manure, preparing the field fol-
seeding this fall.
Another method Of meeting
the situation is to pillow under the
infested wheat and plant the field
to cowpeas.
Now is the time for farmers to
organize to clean up the Hessiau
fly. After organization all stub
BILE should be burned and plowed
under before the middle of July,
and all volunteer wheat harrow
ed out. Wheat may then be
sowed again this fall after the
