PLANT LICE OR APHIOS
Application of Soap Solution Will
Prove Efficient-Must Hit
Insect With Force.

Plant lice or aphids can be killed
on golden glow, sweet peas, rose,
buckthOrn, plums or any plant by APP
plications Of soap solution. This is
perfectly safe to use, and leaves no
bad odor, and n few applications ap-
parently are sufficient TO rid a plant OF
its unpleasant parasite.
Dissolve q scent cake of white soap
In five or six gallons OF hot water, and
apply forcibly with a spray-pump when
lukewarm. The insects must be hit
with force. Occasionally bending over
the twigs and immersing the affected
leaves, shaking them back and forth
in the liquid, is more effective than
spraying. Directing q stream Of wa
ter from a garden hose against plant
lice colonies is of some help, IL the
water strikes them with force.

GRASS CLIPPINGS FOR HENS
During Summer Months-Give
What They Will Eat.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Grass clippings are an excellent
green feed for chickens. The back
yard poultry flock of n family often
lacks sufficient green feed, with q O
sequent reduction Of egg and meat
production. With the easy available
ity Of lawn clippings the city poultry
man can always have green feed
through the summer for his chickens.
The flock can be fed daily as much of
the green clippings as they will eat.
If any continued bowel trouble shows,
the amount should be reduced. The
remainder of the clippings can be al
lowed to dry and fed moistened dur
ing the time between lawn cuttings.
Amounts in excess can be dried for
winter use. Dried grass clippings are
a good green feed for winter. They
can be dried and stored in sacks.
These dried clippings, moistened and
FED to the flock, are q very fair SUBJ
stitute for the succulent green feeds
Of summer.

KEEP YOUR BREEDING STOCK
High Prices for Feed Hens, Sowp
and Cows Are Sold.

Don't sell off your breeding stock be-
cause of high prices of feed and the
demand for live stock. Large num-
bers OF hens. brood sows and mich
COWS are being sold. Already there
is a scarcity Of poultry In the country.
and in some dairy sections there has
been a marked decrease in the number
of mich cows.
There are two sides to this business.
Milk dealers and contractors In their
effort TO hold trade and placate their
customers have refused TO pay farmers
a price for milk which would leave
them a profit. AS a consequence,
many farmers have found hat their
cows are worth more dead than alive.
They have been forced TO sell the cows
because they could not continue in the
business which was running them
deeper in debt each month.
Advancing prices for meat, milk.
dairy and poultry products will bring a
profit oversthe high cost of feed and
labor, and the farmer who has kept n
good stock of breeding animals is
pretty sure TO receive handsome re-
turns.

LABOR is LIMITING FACTOR
Horses Are Relatively Plentiful in
Comparison and Use of More
Is Strongly Used.

Labor is the limiting factor in crop
production this year. Horses are rela-
lively plentiful in comparison. o. X.
Johnson of the department of farm
management of the Missouri College
of Agriculture, suggests that farmers
lay aside One-man and twO-hOrSe tools
and use those that require more
horses so that more work per man
can be done. One man with three
horses to a 16-inch breaking pillow will
turn over three acres or less in a day.
The same man with a gang pillow con-
sisting of two Pinch bottoms will
average AZ acres a day and will use
one more horse. This means that by
increasing the horse stock one-third,
one man can increase his efficiency in
breaking ground nearly 10 per cent.
Investigations have actually shown
that q man on a riding implement will
do more work in a day than the same

man and the same team with imple-
ments that require him TO walk. The
use of bigger tools and thorough prep
aratiOn Of seed beds will also cut
down the time required for cultivation
of the corn crop. Cultivation is the
operation which limits the amount of
corn M man can grow. If q good
seed bed is prepared, some time can
be saved in cultivating the crop, and
consequently more acres can be
grown.

Many Serious Enemies Can Be

some cases, those of burrowing rod

ents. A teaspoonful of tar is enough
for q peck of corn. Mix the tar with
a quart of boiling water. After the
mixture has cooled somewhat but is
still hot, stir in the corn until every
grain is coated, and then spread it out
to dry before planting. Corn may be
immersed several minutes in moder-
ately hot water without affecting ger
minatiOn. The tar treatment does not
repel mice or ground squirrels.

squirrels, prairie dogs, pocket gophers,
or mice is best prevented by poisoning
the animals q few days before the corn
is planted. S%trychnine is the best
poison in all cases, but to obtain salts

DOUGLAS ANSWERS CHARGES
Colonel Says He Will Ask
United States Government
to Block Roadwork.

Colonel w. II. (Coin) Harvey of
Monte Ne. Ark, president of the
Ozark Trails association has taken up
the sword again and has launched a
fight on another undertaking OF the
Tulsa Chamber OF Commerce by de-
claring that he will fight, into the
very presidents cabinet If necessary,
the efforts OF good road enthusiasts
of this section OF the state to construct
and maintain highway from st. Louis

Colonel Harvey has written a series
OF letters to Secretary Clarence b.
Douglas of the local Chamber of Com
merce. calling attention to the fact
that he will fight with all available
force the attempts to create a high
way which will be parallel his Ozark
Trail to be known as the Southern
Military Highway.
The highways projectors letter to
Secretary Douglas is as follows:
My Dear Colonel Douglas :-Refering to
what you said about certain parties promot-
Ing road, | learned later that it was pro-
posed by the promoters to call it the Southern
Military Highway l seriously think this

liable men will engage in such reprehensible
nnfrrtaking. | am. Yours very truly, W. II.
Harvey.
Immediately upon receipt OF tho LETT
ters Secretary Douglas sent the fol-
lowing:
My Dear Colonel:-I have yours of the
9th inst. enclosing copy Of your letter to
Mr.. W. X Brady relative TO the Southwestern
Military Highway and note what you have TO
say regarding the highway.
As take II, the object of the promoters
Of this road is TO get a thrl line of highway
from st. Loais TO Amarillo 10 accommodate
travel between destination points and be-
tween various points on the line; and. so
far as the name is concerned, l personally
see no reason why it should not be called
the Southwestern Military Highway because
that title is neither copyrighted or covered
by the road.
don't think 1t will interfere with the
Ozark Trail On the contrary--each line
would be a stimulus to the other and would
result in having them both kept in good con
dition by enterprising citizens most inter
ested. | think 1t unwise to take u position
to discourage the building OF any highway
and | am sure. after mature deliberation,
that this will be your conclusion.
We must all recognize the fact that there
is going to be more than one line Of road
from the northwest to the southwest, and in.
stead of trying to handicap the building OF
such lines, we should give them every possible
encouragement.
With kindest personal regards. remain,
