garden was slightly raised in the cen.
ter. The different flowers started
blooming the first of July and kept
on until the frost came September a.
In succession planted tomatoes
where lettuce had been, cabbage
where peas had been and cabbage
where radishes had been. I planted
a row of radishes around the plot as
a border and to use the ground until
the later crops needed more space.
At the County Fair received first

rest were used at home. Have learn.

may not be out of order at this time
William had little larger garden
than the average and very unusual
arrangement. His plan, while not ad-
ytsable for a big garden, where work

OLD ICE FOUND IN NINE.

Hazelton. Pa.-Iee that formed in
the winters OF the sixties and seven
ties is being uncovered BY coal com
panies Of Hazelton in running the
oulm banks Of the region through
the breakers to meet the demand for
anthracite created By the war.
This is especially noticeable at the
big Cranberry and Yorktown banks,
which show the seasons in the strata
Of the fuel. That which was dump
ed in the summer is dry and dusty.
while that which was thrown out in
winter still has great cake. OF ice
and snow in it. This occurs in reg
ular layers and exeites great cur
iosity.
Coal men declare that the sonten-
ton Of people that culm is weathered
TO a worthless point is disproved by
the existence of the ice ard snow.
They claim if the fuel had been de-
carbonized by the weather. the ice
and snow would have melted. Some
of the culm banks are sixty and sew
enty feet high and are worth millions
OF dollars. Years ago they were re-
garded as a total waste.

CORN EARWORM
Best Way TO Eradicate Trouble
some Pests That Injuries
Different Crops.

Strike at the bollwoI1n or corn ear
worm in the fall. Flowing has prov
the most effective weapon against
this S3o.000000 pest. The defenses
| Of this ravager of cotton, corn, to-
matoCs and tobacco are never so vul-
nerable as when the insect is in the
pupal or wintcring stage, an entomo-
logist Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says in recent
publication intended to convex to
farmers ways Of making life very
unhappy Cor this serious pest. The
publication. Farmers Bulletin S72,
"The Bollworm or Corn Earworm,"
by F. c. Bishopn. describes the in
sect. it's habits. and control methods,
of which fall blowing is the most i'm
poItant.
Names o. the Worm.
The worm has several names-cot-
ton bollwornl. corn eaTworm. tomato
fruitworm and false budwornn o. to-
bacco. Under these names it is wide
ly known in nearly all parts Of the
United States. and the damage il
does is increasing from year to wear.
The character Of its attack on all the
crops affected is similar. The eater
pillars usually bore into and feed
within the plant tissues.
When mature the insect i. moth
or miller about x iNches across the
wings when spread. 1t varies in col
or from a light brown or olive green
to pale yellow, and it is commonly
seen flying about in the evening. The
large eaterpillars are very small
when first hatched. When full grown
they are about / u inches in length,
and their color varies from pale
green to almost black. Thew leave
the plant when fully Fed and burrow
into the ground. where they form a
kind OF cell in which the- transform
to the resting stage. The last brood
in the fall STAYS in the ground at a
hNpiii w w " uHlil val III
weather the following spring.
Important Steps in Controlling Pest. |
Thorough breaking % the land in
which the worms have buried them |
selves for the Writer, at some time
in late fall or winter, is the most i'm
portant single step in controlling
this pest. The practice OF FALL and
winter blowing, aside from bollworm
control. is desirable because it con-
serves the moisture puts the ground |
in better condition for planting and |
enables the farmer TO plant at the |
proper time the following spring. |
Furthermore fall blowing destroys |
eggs Of grasshopppers alternating
places Of chinch bugs and other de-
structive insects. The bulletin men
toned also discusses other means of |
combating the worms as they appear
on crops in the spring.

GERMAN MAN POWER
HAS REACHED CRISIS

Washington, ID. C.-Cable reports
reaching here from Switzerland say
Germany has reached the crisis so
far as her man power is concerned.
For three years, according to these
dispatches, GERMANY has lost on an
average Of 100000 men annually,
and this number will at least be
cqualed in 1918. II is contended that
10 continue the war on the same
scale for another year they must
have at their command a reserve OF
at least 100000 men. whereas they
virtually will have a reserve of only
100000 including Youths Of the
class of 1920.
O. e
