HARM DONE BY PLUM BORERS
Observations Show That Insect Pre-
fers Trees That Are in Some
what Weakened Condition.

Observations made by an entomol.
ogist of the department OF agricul-
lure of the American plum borer show
that this insect prefers trees that are
In somewhat weakened condition,
such as those partially girdled by the
disease commonly known as collar
blight or mechanically injured by
frost. Without injury of some sort
to its host plant the borer rarely sue
ceeds In establishing itself, and en-
tirely healthy trees are in little danger
from it's attacks.
Where a tree has suffered injury
the work of this borer may, in many
cases, considerably shorten its life.
Beginning at some scar, wound, or
crevice, where a bark scale offers par
tial protection, the larva works its
way back into the living tissues, in
broad, shallow, irregular galleries just
beneath the bark. 1t has been found
feeding upon plum, peach, cherry,
Chinese plum, Kieffer pear, mountain
ash, persimmons, apple, and Russian
mulberry.
The insect is known to occur in 81
different states as far separated as
the District of Columbia, Arizona, and
Washington. AS result of the obser-
yations made by the entomologist, the
conclusion is drawn that this borer
will never probably become a pest of
more than ordinary Importance, except
In cinpa1 icoIafad oooao
When the ordinary precaution of cut
ting away the dead bark and planting
the wounded areas is followed, this
may be regarded as sufficient for the
control of the borer. Where the borer
has established itself already, the cut
ting out method is the only one that
can be followed.

Combinations of two colors and two
materials in frocks and suits have es-
tablished themselves as an accepted
style feature of the new season, and
now all sorts of dress accessories
show the influence of the same idea.
In neckwear and footwear it is con-
spicuous. Among the new collars
there are pretty cape-collars made of
white and colored organdie (often with
cuffs to match), and collars of white
organdie finished with colored bands.
The favored combinations are white
with pink, white with tan, and white
with blue.
One of the cape-collars in which
white and light pink are used together
with fine effect is pictured here. A
little cape of white organdie is finished
about the edge with hemstitching, and
over it a smaller cape in flesh pink is
exactly of the same shape and fin
ished in the same way. Both are set
into a narrow band of organdie that
turns in about the neck. A row of
small pearl buttons is set on the pink
cape at each side Of the front. The
very tiniest of buttons, by the way,
are among the favorite exquisite fin
ishings that match up well with or
candle or net or fine lace. The cuffs

GOOD FEED FOR DAIRY HERD
Usually Profitable to Purchase Small
Quantities of Concentrated Feeds
Prices Govern.

1t is usually profitable investment
In feeding a dairy herd to purchase
small quantities of concentrated feeds,
such as bran, cottonseed and oilmeal.
Prices, of course, govern which kind
of feed it is best to purchase, but
when you have plenty of oats and corn
to grind up. cottonseed meal is as
cheap as any feed on the market.
Cottonseed meal should be fed care
fully as it is a very concentrated feed
AS rule, from two to three pounds
daily is a sufficient amount, and it
should be fed with some kind of sue
culent matter in the ration. And corn
silage furnishes the best means of
supplying the succulent matter needed
in the ration.

Yet as Cazalet lighted his pipe he
looked old enough to be her father.

Blanche. q know you're bothered.

Does he look very ill?"
She had been trying to avoid the
direct question as far as possible, but
this one seemed so harmless Yet it
was received in stony silence unlike
any that had gone before. 1t was as
though Cazalet neither moved nor
breathed, whereas he had been all
signs and fidgets just before. His pipe
was out already-that was the one
merit of bush tobacco. it required
constant attention-and he did not
look like lighting it again.
Until tonight they had not men
toned Scruton since the motoring be-
gan. That had been tacit rule of the
road, of wayside talk and indoor orgy.
But Blanche had always assumed that
Cazalet had been to see him in the
prison; and now he told her that he
never had.
Il can't face him." he cried under
his breath, "and that's the TRUTH Let
me get him out of this hole, and I'm
his man forever; but until do, while
there's a chance OF falling. | simply

OF course he saw 1t afterward, him
self; that was why the whole subject
of Australia had been dropped so sud-
denly and for good. Most likely he
had married beneath him; II so, she
was very sorry, but he might have said
that he was married.
Curiously enough, it was over Mar
tina that she felt least able to forgive
him. Martha would say nothing, but
her unspoken denunciations of GAIA
let would be only less intolerable than
her unspoken sympathy with Blanche.
Martha had been perfectly awful about
the whole thing. And Martha had COM
mitted the final outrage OF being per-
fectly right. from her Id tic IJint OF

thought OF Hilton Toye ever entered

twice, and warned her he would again.

SOY BEANS QUITE VALUABLE
Equal to Linseed and cottonseed Meal
in Protein-Most Excellent for
Hay and Pasture.

AS a food the soy bean ranks high.
In crude protein and fat it is equal to
linseed and cottonseed meal, and
twice as rich as wheat bran.
AS a concentrated food it is valu.
able for hogs and sheep. It's use for
dairy cows should be moderate, as too
large allowances of soy beans may
produce soft butter.
For hay and pasture it is excellent
as a soiling crop rather unsatisfac-
tory; as a soil renovator highly bene-
cial. This crop can be profitably
grown on sandy soils for seed, hay,
pasture, silage and green manure.

was obliged to run away in the worst
possible order.
But that was not the end of those
four superfluous words of final bene-
diction; before the night was out they
had solved. to Blanche's satisfaction.
the hitherto impenetrable mystery of
Cazalet's conduct.
He had done something in Austria

tween him and her. Blanche did not
mean something wrong, much less a
crime, least of all any sort of com.
plicity in the great crime which had
been committed while he was on his
way home. But she believed the
worst he had done was to emulate
his friend. Mr.. Potts. and to get en-
gagged or perhaps actually married to
somebody in the bush.
There was no reason why he should
not; there never had been any sort
or kind of understanding between her
self and him; it was only as lifelong
friends that they had written to each
other. and that only once a year. Life.
long friendships are additionally fatal
to romance. They had both been
free as air: and II he was free no
longer she had absolutely no cause
for complaint, even IL she was fool
enough to feel II.
All this she saw quite clearly in her
very honest heart. And yet, he might

Blanche was sharp enough to inter

''No-no-but If he hadl"
You'd still stand by him?"
I've told you so before. I meant
to take him back to Australia with me
i never told you that-but l meant
to take him, and not soul out there
to know who he was" He sighed aloud
over the tragic stopper on that plan.
And would you still?" she asked.
IF | could get him off,"
Guilty or not guilty?"
"Ratheri"
There was neither shame, pose, nor
hesitation about that Blanche went
through into the room without a word,
but her eyes shone finely in the lamp
light. Then she returned with book,
and stood half in the balcony, framed
as In panel, looking for place.
you remind me of The Thousandth
Man. she told him as she found It,
Who was he?"
He's every man who does a thou
sandth part of what you're doingl"
said Blanche with confidence. And
then she read, rather shyly and not
too well:
One man in thousand" Solomon says,
"Will stick more close than a brother.
And It's worth while seeking him half
your days
IL you find him before the other.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth Man will stand your
friend
With the whole round world agin you"
Il should hope he would" said GAIA

But this is the bit for you," said
Blanche:
His wrongs your wrong. and his rights
your right,
In season or out OF season
Stand up and back It in all mems sight
With that for your only reasonl
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame or moclxing or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by
your side
To the gallows-foot-and afteri"
The last words were italics In
Blanche's voice, and 1t trembled, but
so did Cazalet's as he cried out In his
formula:
That's the finest thing ever heard
In all my lifei But it's true, and so
1t should be. | don't take any credit
for it."
Then you're all the more the thou

He caught her suddenly by the
shoulders. His rough hands trembled t:
his jaw worked. Look here, Blanche
If you had a friend, wouldn't you dc
the same?"
yes, II I'd such a friend as all
that" she faltered.
You'd stand by his side to the gal

However bad a thing II was-mur

Then you're the thousandth WON.

He turned on his heel in the bal
cony, and a minute later found the
room behind him empty. He entered

looking all over for the photograph OF
himself with beard. which he had
seen there week before.

FIELD PEAS AS A HAY CROP
Almost Always Sown in Mixture With
Oats or Some Other Small Grain
High Feed Value.

The field pea is commonly grown
In Pennsylvania and New York for
hay, and the larger part of the crop
in the southern states is also used in
this manner. When grown for hay
the field pea is almost always sown
in mixture with oats or some other
small grain. These mixtures with
grain will stand up much better, caus-
ing less trouble in the harvest, and
the presence of oats or barley in the
crop also causes it to cure more
quickly. The yield from a mixture
of oats and peas is usually larger
than that from timothy. The field
pea works into rotation very nicely,
because of the fact that when har-
vested for hay 1t is removed from the
field early in the year, thus allowing

Blanche stole up past the door. and

Evidently he was on the eve OF yet an
other OF his journeys, probably back
to America, and he wanted to go over

had bad news to break to her, but this
was no worse than she had heard be-
