FARMERS URGED
TOPLOW IN FALL
County Farm Agent Calls At
tention to Necessity of
Ground Treatment
BY ii. G. NIESLEY

Among the most common insects
affecting field crops are cutworms,
wireworms and white grubs or
grubworms'. Every year these pests
are more or less troublesome, and
the indications are that next season,
they are apt to be even more de-
structive than in the past. Normally
this class of insects breed in sod
ground, and live on the roots of
grass. When their natural food is
abundant, little damage is done.
However when sod is broken up and
followed by a cultivated crop, their
source of food is removed, forcing
the insects to subsist on the new
crop. 1t often happens that the in
jury is more severe during the sec
ond year following the breaking of
the sod, than in the first. owing to
the fact that the insects will live on
the recently turned down sod the
first year.
Owing to the unusually large am
cunt of sold land plowed up this
past season for war gardens and
the emergency purposes, conditions
are right for an unusually severe out
break of cutworms, wireworms and
Srubworms. Wherever possible all
this new land should be plowed late
this fall, in order to prevent as far
as possible, injury next season.
Briefly the life history of these
ground inhabiting insects is as fol-
lows: The eggs of those insects are
usually laid in midsummer or early
tal, and the young larvae or
worms, after Matching, feed for q
time during the fall. With the APP
proach of cold weather, they work
down into the soil for u few inches.
AS rule they alternate not deeper
than about six inches or thereabouts
After the insects have entered the
hlDernating or 'wintering' condition,
any change in environment is quite
apt to result disastrously for them.
The effect of late plowing is to
throw them out of their natural en-
Nironment and expose the insects TO
the killing effects of cold weather.
Many will also be picked up by birds
chickens and various animals.
I'm addition, this treatments tends
to kill out the roots of weeds and
grasses upon which these insects are
accustomed to feed in the early
spring. There is also an added ad-
vantage to the farmer in that part
of the work of the spring season is
already done when that busy time
arrives.
Besides these insects already men
toned, fall and winter plowing will
help in reducing injury next season
from the corn ear worm corn root
louise, and clover root borer."

DRIFT DUE
TO WAGE SCALES
Farmers Slow to Enter Field
of Competition to
Get Men

The labor shortage of the country
IS one that is developing into a SER
ious problem for all lines of industry
There is, as yet, no such thing as
government regulation to distribute
the amount of available labor to the
different essential industries and iiX
the rate of pay, as there is In the
case of Federal supervision of the
distribution and price of coal and
transportation service. The avail
ability of labor, under the existing
emergency, has been adjusted large
ly by the bid for it in the way of
increased wages by our industrial
plants, as it is only natural for iabo"
to seek the line of industry paying
the best wages. Therefore, the in
dustry that can or will pay the high
est wages for the various kinds OF
service to be performed, is solving
its labor problem to some extent at
the expense of other industries re-
quiring the same character of labor
but either unable or not inclined TO
compete for its requirements.
OF the various industries, farming
has been slow to recognize the prin
ciple of the necessity of competing
with other industries in the matter
of the rate of pay for farm hands.
No small number of our country
boys have quit the farm for the more

Evidence of Prosperity
Indicated by Auto Sales

Sales Sf high-class automobiles are
an index of prosperity and business
confidence.
one of the largest days sales of
motor carriages in the annals of the
Packard Motor Car Company was that
reported on Tuesday. October so, when
by, mail and telegraph there arrived
orders for Twin Six cars valued in eX
cess of S1,00O,000. These orders came
from as near as the Detroit retail
branch of the Packard and from as
far away as Los Angeles
The heavy business for the day was
the climax OF a spirited siX-weeks
sales contest, in which the resistance
offered by war conditions was much
stronger than automobile statesmen
ever before We're called to master. A
survey of the results. so far as they
are reported. shows that good busi-
ness prevailed generally over the
country, and especially the west. The
Packard sales record for the cor
responding six weeks of 1916, when
no war conditions involving extra
taxation, heavy investments in Gov
ernment bonds obtained, was eXcelled
by more than 80 per cent.
This is one of the clearest evil
dences of the general prosperity and
optimism of America that has come to
our notice." said Henry Lansdale,
manager of carriage sales. 81 at
tribute a large share of the sales
mems success to the fact that the mo-
or-buying public is interested in ac-
tual economy and that our statesmen
have a car of marked economical ma
ture to offer"
Among the points contributing to
the big volume of business reported
on October % were Detroit, sending in
fifty-siN orders and Cleveland. fifty.
The increased volume of business
done by some of the dealers in the
six weeks of the contest in COM
parison with their sales weeks in
1915 is shown by the following fig
ures: Detroit, 225 per cent. of quota
Cleveland, l75 per cent; Baltimore
10 per cent, Denver. 165 per cent. :
Omaha, III per cent; Syracuse, los
