Q war FiInn..

K War films, says the Boston Tran
script, have proved to be very useful In
modern warfare. Used only as an ex-
pertinent at first, they have been of
such practical value that the return Of
the cinematograph operator from his
aerial reconnaissance is always impa-
tently awaited at headquarters.
The moving picture man who Holun-
teers for this work undertakes q very
difficult and daring feat. He must be
master OF his profession, have nerves
of steel and be willing to take great
risks. More often than not he is obliged
to fly at low altitude, for otherwise
his pictures would be without value.
Many men who have gone out on those
perilous expeditions have, never re-
turned. - = - = -
The war films show the experienced
observer q great deal that is going on
behind the enemy's lines. The trenches
are clearly visible. It Is even possible
to discern the men digging trenches or
placing big guns Tn position. The cine
matograph men have often brought
back excellent pictures taken from wa
terplanes that show the movement Of
ships and the track Of enemy perl
scopes

Millions Are Wasted
Yearly By Using Of
Wrong Kind of Spray

Many thousands of dollars are vast
ed each year by using the wrong kind
of spray in insect warfare. Different
insects may require different meth
DDS of control. We cannot expect to
kill all kinds of insects found in on.
gardens. fields, and orchards by the
use of a single kind of spray mater
ial. If we choose the wrong spray our
money. time an labor may be entire
ly wasted and the bugs may con-
tinue their depredations unchecked.
The kind CT spray to use for a given
insect depends primarily upon the
manner in which that INSECT secures
its food. Among our insect friends
and enemies there are the "inveter-
ate chewers'' and the heavy drink
ers.'' Almost any insect can be placed
in one or the other of these groups
Among the .'inveterate chewers'' are
the insects which chew holes through
our caibbages, riddle the leaves of our
potato plants or strip the foliage from
our fruit trees. They secure their
food by chewing the foliage of plants
which may be riddIed with holes,
notched by having chunks bitten from
the edges or devoured completely. In
this group are included many of our
worst pests such as, potato beetle, GU
oa1xabsr faet1e. elm leaf beetle and The
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-02

larvae or caterpillars of the cabbage
butterfly, broWn tally and gypsy
moths. These may be called the chew
ing or biting insects. The usual meth
cd of control for these is to spray the
plant or tree attacked with poison
which if eaten will kiln the insect.
Such a spray is called a stomach poi
son as it kills after reaching that or
gan. Among the stomach poisops for
chewing insects are the following: arr
|senate of lead. paris, green and helle-
bore
The heavy drinkers secure their
food by drinking or sucking the juices
Of plants or the blood of animals. Who
has not watched a mosquitoes body
distend and redden with the blood Of
tits victim? Other heavy rinkers" are
the plant lice (aphis), squash bug, and
scale insects. These and the many
others which feed in a similar man
ner may be called sucking insects.
Each is provided with a. beAk or pso-
boscis through which to suck its food.
Usually this beak is strong and point
| ed. fitted for piercing the leaf surface
or the skin and drawing, UP the plant
juice from Within. This method OF
feeding has an important bearing up
on the proper spray to use. AS these
IiiSSCpS 10 not I00u OH lie iSuIi0fC oue
rather from within, they would not
take in any stomach poison which
might be sprayed upon the plant and
therefore would not Ibe killed. So we
cannot expect to control sucking in
sects by spraying 18th a stomach poi
SON. We must depend upon another
kind of spray such as will kill by
] touching the insect. This is called icon-
tact spray as it kills by coming in
contact with the insect. BLACK Leaf
4o,'' lime sulphur, soaps, oils and py-
rethrum are contact sprays.
Many of our worst insect pests can
be controlled by spraying with the
proper spray. In general contact
sprays should be used for sucking in
sects and stomach poisons for chewing
insects. To be effective, the contact
sprays must touch the insects while
the stomach poisons must be eaten by
the insects.

THE BROKEN SOLDIER.

The broken soldier sings and whistles
day to dark,
He's but the remnant of a man,
manned and alf-blind;
But the soul they could not harm goes
singing like the lark
Like the incarnate Joy that will not
be confined.
The Lady at the Hall has given him a
light task;
He works in the gardens as busy as
q bee;
One hand is but stump and his face
a pitted mask:
The gay soul goes singing like a
bird set free.
whistling and singing like innet on
wings.
The others stop to listen, leaning on
the spade;
Whole men and comely; they fret at
little things,
The, soul of him's singing like a
thrush in a glad.
Hitler and thither hopping, like q
robin on the grass,
The soul in the broken man is
beautifuI and brave;
And while he weeds the pansies and
the bright hours pass
The bird caught in the cage whistles
it's joyous stave.

BUCKwHEAT SEED.

In order to insure ibuckwheat seed
for the farmers Of the state, the Com
mittee of Food Supply of the Connect
icut Council of Defense has bought a
supply of seed which it will hold in
reserve for use in case of a shortage
and resulting high prices This seed
will be sold to farmers at So bushel.
1t is not the policy of the committee
CT food supply to go into the business
of supplying seed where the dealers
are able to furnish it in sufficient
quantities and at a reasonable price.
The committee feels, however, that a
sufficient supply should sbe insured in
order that the farmers may not be
hampered in carrying out their sea-
sons campaign for increased food pro
duction.

Changing All the Time.

Often the change In the use or man
ner of use of some household item
makes widespread change in the
sale of lot of. hardware items. For
some years rugs have been taking the
place of carpets. This means the sale
of fewer carpet tacks, tack hammers
and carpet stretchers, but more carpet
beaters. Again the introduction Of
vacuum cleaners cut down the sale OF
carpet heaters.
So in like manner the present fash
ion of hanging pictures from holdings
has about put picture nails out of busi-
ness, but largely increased the sale Of
melding or picture hooks.
In somewhat similar fashion not
many foot scrapers are in use because
concrete sidewalks are SO universal.
The growing use of food choppers
has materially decreased the sales OF
mincing knives and wood bowls.-New

Value Of skimmiIk.

The department of agriculture has
discovered that about 17,O00,O 600
gallons of skimmilk are annually
wasted IN this country.
Every farmer knows that skimmilk
will fatten hogs. That proves that 1t
has a nutritional value. The food
value of milk is not entirely destroyed
by the removal Of the cream and but
ter Fat. There is lot OF protein in
the residue, and this protein Is good
for the human system Some people
cannot drink whole milk; it disagrees
with them. These same people thrive
on milk from which the cream has
been removed The department Of ag-
ricufture Is right in calling attention
to the fact that 1900, 100000 gallons
of excellent food have been overlooked
