NEW MILITARY INSIGNIA.
Cadet School Officers to Wear
Disks Instead of Bars.

In conformity with a provision
Of the new National Defense act,
prohibiting any one from wear
ing the insignia Of rank pres
cribed to be worn by officers of
the army, navy, and the Marine
Corps, except those officers, the
War Department has suggested
certain insignia for use by the
officers of cadet schools and 9TH
ers covered in the prohibition.
The department suggests that
second Lieutenants wear one
disk, First Lieutenants two disks
and Captains three disks, Maj
ors one diamond, Lieutenant
Colonel two diamonds, and Col
onel three diamonds. For stu
dent officers the insignia should
be of white metal, the depart
ment r~ecommends-gold or gilt
for instructors, circular fiat disk
for company officers. "Corporals
and Sergeants," says the Wal
Department circular of the sub.
.Iject, will wear chevrons as pre-
scented for the regular army"
This new provision will com
pei officers of military societies
to discard the stars, eagles, ant
oak leaves that have marke,
their rank from Major to Gener
E al. It will also compel officer
, of all the college and school cad
|, ct organizations to discard thei
present insignia of rank.

Injurious Insect Pests.

Take advantage of the bugs in
their winter quarters, the rem
nants of old plants, the trash
and litter about the garden and
orchard. Burn out the fence
rows, destroy the trash and lit
ter wherever it has accumulated
by burning it or blowing it UNI
der. Cut out the dead trees and
limbs in the orchard and make
them into fire wood.
This cieaing up about the
orchard and garden will destroy
a dozen or more of our most de-
structive pests. For example,
the plum curculio is now winter
ing as a full grown beetle in the
trash and litter along the fence
rows or about the trees; the cod
ding moth will be found in the
worm stage within a silken CO.
coon tucked away under the
shelly bark of dead trees and
dead limbs; and the fruit tree
bark beetles or shot hole borers
will also be found winterine
mostly as adult beetles in deaC
or dying trees.
Under the old stalks and rub.
bish in the garden and about the
borders will be found the adult
asparagus beetle, bean leaf beet
lie, harlequin cabbage bug, file;
beetles, the striped cucumbel
beetle, and the chrysalis of TIT
cabbage worm. If you want tt
kill these pests, pile and burr
dead tomato and pea vines ant
other remains of vegetation il

Deep fall or early winter pillow
ing will also destroy many in
sects. This is especially true o
the cut worms, potato beetles
white grubs, and wire worm
which are now alternating i
the soil. Late fall or early wiz
ter blowing will turn these il
sects up near the surface an
expose them to an attack

they are killed by being subjec
ed to excessive weather conc
tons and to the alternate free

Fall blowing and cutivati,
will also enable you to ha'
vegetables a week or ten da.
earlier next spring because y.
will be able to plant earlier
