tions upon. the use of winter rye and
vetch in this connection are given by
them.
"After the grain is harvested plow
and thoroughly prepare the seedbed
then sow rye. and vetch at the rate
of two bushels of the former and
20 to so pounds Of the latter to the
acre. Both the rye and vetch are quick
to sprout and will come up before the
quaek grass gets chance TO recover.
Winter vetch makes an abundant fall
growth and covers the ground like n
carpet. In the spring both the rye
and vetch will resume growth at
rapid rate, until at corn planting time
these crops will be from two to three
feet high. Thereupon the rye and
vetch can be turned under for green
manure or cut for hay, and the land
planted to a cultivated crop at once,
with slight chances of quack grass
making an appearance.
Like clover and alfalfa, vetch is q
legume and as such is valuable as a
soil improvcr by means of the nitro
gen it takes from the air and restores
to the soil through its roots. Hence
the vetch-rye treatment for quack
grass can be recommended as doubly
useful"

No doubt many gardeners have no

deposited by these insects hatch into
the worms that eat the large holes in

have seen these snail-like pupae when
removing the outer leaves from the
cabbage.
By little effort on our part, these
worms can be held in check by using

is not suspected because it passes al
most its entire life underground. 1t is
a small, stout, soft-bodied, whitish in
sect and may be seen in infested fields
by pulling up an unhealthy corn plant
and closely examining the roots and
surrounding soil. The small brown ant
which works in conjunction with this
pest cares for the eggs of the .aphis
over winter and in the spring, when
the eggs hatch, the young aphids are
carried out and placed in contact with
the roots of certain wild plants, such
as smartweed. If corn is planted in
such infested places, the ants transfer
the aphids to the roots Of the corn
plants. The aphids sap the corn of
its nourishment and often cause heavy
loss to the crop.
Measures of Destruction.
Timely cultivation and repellents
Nre the best measures to destroy or
drive away these enemies. 1t is too
late to apply the plow-before-planting
remedy, but plans well may be made
for taking fall measures which will
place the pest Mt a disadvantage next
year. Early fall plowing, followed by
frequent deep disking in fields dam
aged by root aphlds, is a good prac-
tice from the standpoint of community
control, and also has its advantages
to the individual farmer because the
plowing disturbs the ant colonies, kills
many of the hphids, and destroys the
weeds upon which they live. The disk
ing also prevents the recolonizntion
of ants and prevents the growth of
weeds, thus reducing the number of
aphid eggs.
Use of RepelIents.
If it is impossible to practice culti-
vation measures, repellents may be
used to advantage at planting time

IN SPITE OF POLICE ORDERS
Although the police department
has refused them permit to march
on the City Hall in protest against
the high cost of living, which they
believe is due to the activities Of food
spectators, several thousand West
Side women from the poor districts
where the pinch of prices is felt
worst will meet tomorrow morning
at 8 a. m. at HodcarTiers' hall, Har-
rison and Green, and West Side Au-
ditorium, Taylor and Racine, to de-
eide whether or not the parade viii
be attempted.
The commercial interests of the,
city are known to be bitterly oppos-
ed to a hunger march such as they
are planning on the West Side. News
papers have been covertly trying to
discourage attempts to protest
against the grabs of food hogs.
There are two reasons for this.
One is that some of the biggest food
hogs in the world sit behind mahog-
any desks IN Chicago and probably
our local food spectators have more
to do with the high cost of food in
the United States than any other
group.
The other objection to hunger
march is that it will advertise Chs
cago as a place where reckless ex-
travagance and lowest poverty are
linked.

business that Chicago has the finest

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

According to the annual report of
Armour & Co., meat dealers of Chi
cago, made public last week, the net
earnings were $20,1O0,OOO or 20 per
cent on capital stock and 14.7 per
cent on investment. The report also
says the year was the most prosper
GUS in the history of the company. AS
this company is only one of many such
companies, who, it is reasonable to
presume made the same proportional
gains, does it not follow that the out
rageously high prices that have been
and now are being charged for meats,
are thus shown to be little short of
wholesale robbery. When people are
compelled to pay, in many instances,
three times as much as they formerly
paid for the same meats, does this
not show conclusively that such con-
Germs as Armour & Co. are largely
responsible for the high cost of liv-
ing that is driving people to suicide.
There should be some plan by which
such concerns should be prevented
from lining their Golfers by Imposing
their unfair and uncalled for prices
on the public, for the necessaries of
life.
