STAKE AND PRUNE TOMATOES
Habit of Plant May Re So Altered That Patch Is Scarcely Recosniz-
 abIe-Moisture Is Saved.

Are you stalking and pruning the tomatoes this year? This is a great scheme. and if you have not tried it, do so on a demonstration scale just for variety's sake.
 The tomato plant, ia it's frantic ef- forts to reproduce it's kind, makes naturally an enormous vine growth with innumerable branches. The re- suit is great green growth, a large litter of little tomatoes, and more shade than is good for best fruit de- velopment Stake a tomato plant and prune it to single stem. and you change all this; you alter the habit of the plant, so that the tomato patch is scarcely recognizable.
 In the first place there are few leaves, only one above each fruit bunch, and this grows so huge that it is never known for tomato leaf. Then the sun and light reaches every part of the plant and fruit. and the latter hang in clusters and attain larger size than under natural condi- tions. There are no little tomatoes. There is a considerable economy in space, as the tomato plants stand up straight and slender and are mostly fruit, and none of the tomatoes have a chance to rot or mildew. Pruning is quite job AS sufflciency of moisture in the soil is what largely controls the fruit yield the pruning method, by which much less amount of soil water is consumed than through the more luxuriant green growth of unpruned plants, will be found a great advantage in this re- spect.

PREPARATIONS FOR HAY CROP
To Get Best Quality of Alfalfa It Must Be Got Into Now or Stack Inn
 mediately After Being Cut.

Don't overlook the fact that in order to get the best quality and most mar ketable alfalfa hay it must be got into the now or stack as quickly as possible after f is cut.
 Give all the machinery in connection with the putting up of this crop a thorough overhauling. Look over the moving machine; see that everything is ready. See that all the sections are securely riveted on the sickle. Have all the sickles sharpened before you start to work. If the plates on the guards are smooth it will pay to take them off and grind them; a good edge on the guard plates is very essential.
 The stacker rope should be given careful attention. A considerable quantity of hay may get wet if the stacker rope gives out after a few loads go up and it is necessary to go to town for a new one. Get all these things in shape in advance, that the work cnce started can be pushed to the limit.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
 WIN RATE CASES
VLL BE ALLOWED TO INCREASE THEIR GROSS REVENUE 3.96
 PER CENT.

Washington. - The Interstate Con- merce Commission decided that the revenues of the principal express com- panies of the United States are inade- quate, and modified its former orders to provide additional income.
 The present rates are based on three factors: An allowance of 20 cents for collection and delivery Of each shipment, which does not vary with weight or distance; rail termi- nal allowance of 25 cents per 100 pounds. which varies with the weight, but not the distance; and the rail transportation rate per 100 pounds, which varies with the weight, the dis tance and the zone.
 Tn accordance with the companies petition. the commission modified it's order to permit transpositicn of the first and second factors, increasing the collection and delivery allowance five cents for each shipment and reducing the rail terminal allowance at the rate of one-twentieth of one per cent q pound As the weight increases tho five~cent increase gradually is reduced, SO that on shipments of more than 100 pounds the readiustmcnt will make no change. Substantially no commodity rates will be affected. In all events any change in the rates will. with few exceptions. be substantially lower than those prevailing when the com mission established the zone system in February, 1914
 By that means the express com panies are expected to increase their gross revenues about 3.S6 per cert. The commissions report shows that the net operating revenues of the four big companies have decreased to a deficit of s1,132,S11 in the year 1914- 1915. and In the same period operat- ing income decreased S2.449,S63.
 While the financial condition of certain of the petitioners is more fa- vorable than that of others" says the report, "it clearly appears that as a whole they are operating at loss"

single step is to surround the proposed
 bird sanctuary with a vermin-proof fence. Such a fence should prevent
 entrance either by digging or by climb ing, but will serve it's greatest use if it cannot be climbed, and is therefore cat-proof. It is impracticable to build
 an impenetrable fence, the next best device is to put guards of sheet metal on all nesting trees and on poles sup porting bird houses. This should be done in any case where squirrels or snakes are likely to intrude, as it is usually impracticable to fence out these animals. Tree guards should be six feet or more above ground At tacks by hawks, owls, crows, jays, or other enemies are best controlled by eliminating the destructive individuals.

Washington.-Pres Wilson has tional defense These will be made to him personally by the heads of the War and Navy departments. The fact that this action had been taken be- came known after the release for pub lication of the note to Germany re- lating to submarine warfare.
 Without regard to present day con- troversies the president, in association with various heads of departments, has been giving consideration for some time to the preparation of reason able and adequate naval program, which he will propose to Congress at the proper time.
 For the time being, the president feels that it is desirable to drop all discussion of the controversy with Germany now that the object of his weeks visit to Washington has been accomplished, and he is turning to questions of permanent national pol icy, Practical advice concerning na- tional defense from every available professional source is being sought r. is known. in fact, that the best minds of the military branches of the gov ernment have been at work on these matters for some time.

ENEMY OF APPLE TREE
WooIIy Aphid One of Most Seri-
 ous of Insect Pests.
New Significance Put Upon Economic Status of Elm Curl by EntomoIo- pIsts of Maine Agricultural Ex-
 pertinent Station.

The discovery that the woolly aphid migrates from elm leaf to apple is a most important one.
 For more than 100 years the woolly aphid has had worldwide recognition as one of the most serious insect enc mics of young apple trees. Statistics based on observations made at three nurseries containing respectively about 30,000, 45,000, and 30O,000 trees, showed that from 20 per cent to 25 per cent of the trees were infested by the wholly aphid. As from twenty to forty million of American-grown apple seedlings are used in this country ey- cry year, the significance of so high a percentage of infestation is at once apparent.
 It is. therefore, with no slight inter- est that the entomologists of the Maine agricultural experiment station have been seeking to ascertain a previously unknown point in the life cycle of this pest, and have made the discovery that this cycle includes three genera tions which are passed in what is known as the "elm-leaf curl" The disfgured and curled leaves of the elm in the spring are everywhere as fam iliar as the woolly masses on the apple bark, but the elm generations have not previously been known to have any connection with the apple pest. and it has all along borne a distinct name.
 But the discovery of the annual mi grafton of fresh infestation from the

PREVENT WASHING OF SOILS
Frequent Crops of Glover or Grass Which Is Flowed Under, Making
 Soils Spongy, Is Best.
CBv F. H. FRANKLIN.)

(By E. H. FRANKLIN)
 One of the gravest problems of the farmers of today who are living on hilly lands is how to prevent soil ero- sion. Much of the washing of farm lands can be prevented by blowing deep, so as to make a subterranean reservoir for the storage of precipita- tion. The water penetrates readily through the loose soil, and it's move ment through the underlying soil is very much slower than over the sur face.
 Frequent crops of clover or grass which are plowed under make the sur face soil spongy with humus and re tard the washing of the soil All hilly lands liable to wash should have a cover crop during the winter. A war ranty deed will not keep the soil of the careless farmer from washing away.
