THE NoRTHwEsT's TASK.

Germany has made tho greatest
nsht OF history and she has the
advantage Of lighting defensive
warfare. Don't go back home and
Inspire your people with the
thought that immediate action can
Bring this war to an immediate
end. Your people must look TO
this years crop and next years
crop and the next after that"
This was the solemn and impressive
warning issued yesterday by Secretary
OF the Interior Lane to the governors
of the various states who were In
conference with the national council
OF defense. In war IL is absolutely
essential to success that no contin-
geney be overlooked. Preparation
nfpst be made for any cventuality,
. add the more thorough and far-reach-
ing the preparation, the sooner will
success be attained.
When Lord French told the British
people that they must prepare for war

lishman. and practically all Americans
believed the warning TO be merely an
expression OF Great Britain's habitual
altitude OF pessimism.

America has challenged the power
Of Germany. II is q stupendous and a

THE northwest has a great part to
play and a great responsibility as it's
share OF the national undertaking.
This is the breadbasket of the nation,
and upon it will depend the success or

was what Secretary Lane meant yes

not only to this years crop but to

That word comes home to the people
of North Dakota with special force. If
we are to look to next years crop and

care and intelligence in the planning.

.FUMIGATE TO KILL
INJURIOUS INSECTS
Carbon BisuIphide Is Most Sat-
isfactory, According to Pro-
feSsor Dean of Kansas.

For the destruction of all insects in
furious to stored grain in bins and
granaries, fumigation with carbon BIZ
sulphide is the most satisfactory meth
cd, according to George A. Dean, pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
If the fumigation is thoroughly
done, all of the destructive insects
will succumb to this simple and effec-
tive treatment. The carbon bisulphide
fumes are highly inflammable and ex-
plosive, and this neceSSitates that all
fire and artificial light be kept away
from the bin while fumigating.
The amount Of carbon bisulphide
used will vary with the temperature.
Taken at the average temperature
with the building fairly tight, five
pounds will fumigate 1000 cubic feet
Of space, or one pound for every 20
bushels Of grain. At go degrees or be-
low, the results are unsatisfactory
with any amount of carbon bisulphide.
The cracks and doors should be made
as tight as possible before fumigation
Is started.
Since the vapors of carbon bisul-
phide are heavier than air, it is ad-
visable to start distributing pans Of
the liquid at the bottom and work to-
ward the top, if there is an exit there.
If the carbon bisulphide is distributed
from the top toward the bottom, then

slices croSSwise. Slice two navel
oranges unpeeled in the same way.
Cover with boiling water and boil
gently one hour. Add one pint Of
sugar, with more water if needed, and
cook half hour longer. This may
be varied by using the ounces whole,
filling the cavity from which the core
was removed with orange marmalade.
Ginger Pears.-TGke eight pounds
of green pears, eight pounds of sugar,
pound of green ginger root. Pare
and cut the fruit in thin slices. the
rind in small thin pieces. Boil slowly
until thick. Seal in glasses.
Carrot conserVe.-Wash and scrape
half dozen firm, highly colored car
rots and put them through the meat
chopper, cutting as fine as peas. Boil
for half an hour sailing lightly. To
each pint add two cupfuls of light,
brown sugar, the juice and rind of n
lemon or a sour orange, Cook slowly
for one or more hours until clear and
thick.
Plum ConserVe.-Take three pounds
Of plums and equal weight Of sugar.
Cut the plums in pieces, add a little
water, the sugar, one-third of pound
of raisins and the pulp of two oranges.
Simmer one hour. Seal in glasses.
Pineapple may be combined with
rhubarb to make marmalade or pre-
serve which is very delicious. The
quantity of rhubarb is about three
times that of pineapple, but owing to
the strong flavor of the pine, the con-
serve is really pineapple. The same
proportion may be used with straw
berries raspberries or other fruit that
has characteristic flavor, which over
comes the rhubarb.
Every fruit and vegetable possible
should be conserved this year either
by canning, drying or sailing.

last may be used against aphids at
the rate of one gallon to seven or eight
gallons of water. The stock solution
for this purpose is made according to
the following formula: Kerosene, two
gallons; fishoil or laundry soap, one
half pound; water, one gallon.
Annual Bud Spraying.
In view of the increasing damage
to apples from the various kinds of
aphids, the annual bud spraying of
apple orchards appears to be good
practice, and If continued over a
series of years would, no doubt, prove
profitable. The several aphids which
occur on the plum, and the green
peach aphids, do not curl the foliage
to the same extent as do some of the
apple aphids, and it usually will be
found satisfactory to spray the trees
after there are indications that these
insects are abundant. Where the in
sects have proved troublesome regu-
larly, however, spring spraying may
be desirable. In the case of currants
and gOoseberries it is especially i'm
portant to spray as the shoots are
pushing out. otherwise the insects will
soon be protected by the distorted
foliage. When spraying is carried On
later in the season the liquid should
be directed upward to wet the insects
on the under side of the leaves.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1917-09-06

Contact sprays are the only effective
means Of controlling the various
kinds of aphids, the small insects
which by feeding upon the juices of
the plants do much damage to the
fruit and foliage of orchard trees,
currant, gOOseberry and grape. As
the aphids do not eat the plant tissues
but drain the sap from them the var
ious kinds of sprays containing storr'
ach pOisons, such as paris green, ar
senate of lead, etc, are ineffective. To
do any good the sprays must come In
contact with the bodies of the insects
and great thOroughness in spraying is
therefore necessary.
There are a large number of differ
ent forms of aphids, one or more of
which may attack almost every form
of orchard and bush fruit. For the
most part, however, the same meas
ures of control are applicable to all
the species. Quite number Of the
aphid species winter in the egg stage
on the plants which they attack in the
following spring. These may be con-
trOlled successfully by spraying when
the buds first show green tips of the
foliage. In this way the first brood
of the insects is killed and insurance
is obtained against injury later in the
season. Additional spraying may,
however, be necessary If the infesta-
tion is severe. The importance of early
bud spraying is greatest with those
species of aphids whose attacks result
in curling the leaves of the plants on
which they feed. This curling serves
to protect the insects to a considerable
extent from the contact spray. Those
species which do not curl the leaves
are more easily controlled by sprays
after it is noted that they are becOm-
ing numerous.
Nicotine Is Effective.
Nicotine has been found to be one
of the most effective substances for
killing aphids, and as it may be ap-
piled with entire safety to plants it
is possibly the best suited of all the
substances used in the control Of these
insects. The cost of the concentrated
article is high, but as it may be greatly
diluted the actual cost Of applying the
spray compares favOrably with that Of
other contact sprays. OF the CONNER
cial preparations the 40 per cent nicO-
tine sulphate is the solution in most
common use. Weaker grades may be
used if care is taken that the spray Is
made up to contain not less than 0.05
or 0.O6 per cent of actual nicotine.
Nicotine may be added either to the
winter strength lime-sulphur solution
used for the San Jose scale, or to the
dilute lime-sulphur solution and ar
senate of lead spray employed in the
control Of insects and diseases of fruit
and foliage. 1t may also be used In
bordeaux mixture or in arsenate of
lead and water spray. This Is great
advantage, as the Orchardist Is en-
abled to spray against several pests ST.
multaneously. 1t must be remembered,
however, that, although the addition
Of soap adds much to the spreading
power and efficiency Of the nicotine
spray, soap must not be used with
lime-sulphur solution.
Make Sprays at Home.
1t is also a comparatively simple
matter to make nicotine sprays at
home if tobacco stems or refuse to-
baccO are available. In the home

YES! LIFT A CORN

Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or eallus so it lifts
off with singers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus l)osens so it can be
lifted off, root ard all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as II
is inexpensive and is said not to irri.
tate the surrounding skin.

EFFECTIVE MEANS TO. CONTROL INSECTS

manufacture of the solution. however,
il is difficult to determine the exact
strength of the decoction, since the
various kinds of tobacco refuse vary
greatly In their nicotine content. In
this connection IL is pointed out that
the stems from which the extract has
been made have a value for fertillzing
purposes OF about $40 ton. With
tobacco refuse and stems costing
about $50 a ton, the spray solution
can be made for approximately ] cent
a gallon, the fertilizer value of the eI-
tracted refuse covering the cost of la
Dor, etc. The sprays should be made
up as they are needed, for fermenta-
ton begins within day or two.
Washes made Of fishoil or laundry
soap are also effective against aphids,
and are especially suitable for use on a
small scale. The fishOil soap of diff
ferent brands on the market varies
greatly in water content, so that the
precise quantity of soap to be used
with a given amount of water will
vary also. Manufacturers, however,
are required by the federal insecticide
act of 1910 to state on the label the
amount of active ingredients lin this
case soap) and Of inert ingredients.
This will enable purchasers to make
up a solution which should range
from one pound Of soap for five gal
Ions of water to one pound for seven
gallons, depending upon the amount of
water present in the soap. AS has
been already said, soap should not be
added to lime-sulphur solution. This
