For those who want their reading
about the war in the form of fiction,
there is an interesting book at the Sa-
lem public library written by William
j. Locke, entitled, "The Red Plane" y.
The story is told by Major Duncan
Merdyth and Is a narrative of war times
in an English village. 1t appeared in
Good Housekeeping first. Another story
by an interesting writer, now at the
city library is one entitled, "The Light
in the Clearing by Irving Bachelor.
1t is that of an old man writing of
his boyhood days ON a farm in northern
New York, before the Civil war. The
characters include the typical aunt and
uncle of the days when Van Buren, was
president, and also the village school
teacher.

FUMIGATE TO KILL
INJURIOUS INSECTS
Carbon BisuIphide Is Most Sat-
isfactory, According to Pro-
fessor Dean of Kansas.

For the destruction of all insects in
furious to stored grain in bins and
granaries, fumigation with carbon BIZ
sulphide is the most satisfactory meth
cd. according to George A. Dean, pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
If the fumigation is thoroughly
done, all Of the destructive insects
will succumb to this simple and effec-
tive treatment. The carbon bisulphide
fumes are highly infiammable and ex-
plOsive. and this necessitates that all
fire and artificial light be kept away
from the bin while fumigating.
The amount Of carbon bisulphide
used will vary with the temperature.
Taken at the average temperature
with the building fairly tight, FIVE
pounds will fumigate 1000 cubic feet
Of space. or one pound for every IS
bushels Of grain. At 90 degrees or be-
low, the results are unsatisfactory
With any amount of carbon blsulphide.
The cracks and doors should be made
as light as possible before fumIgation
Is started.
Since the vapors Of carbon bisul-
phide are heavier than air, 1t Is ad-
visable to start distributing pans Of
the liquid at the bottSm and work to-
ward the top, II there Is an exit there.

The First Question and Its Answer.
Roses instructive attitude toward
the group of young to middle-aged
married people into which her own
marriage had introduced her was
founded on the assumption that, allow
ing for occasional exceptions. the hus-
bands and wives felt toward each
other as she and Rodney did-were
held together by the same irresistible.
unanalyzable attraction.
Oh. there were bumps and bruises,
Of course. She had seen Rodney drop
on now and again into scowling alb
stractIon, during which It was 50 evil
dent he didn't want 10 talk TO her, or
even be reminded that she was about,
that she had gone away flushed and
wondering, and needing an effort to
hold back the tears.

Shallow pans with large evaporat-

with a removable plug in one end.

the pipe removed.

manufacture of the solution. however.
ii Is difficult to determine the exact
strength Of the decoction, since the
various kinds OF tobacco refuse vary
greatly in their nicotine content. In
this connection 1t is pointed out that
the stems from which the extract has
been made have a value for fertilizing
purposes Of about SO a ton. With
tobacco refuse and stems costing
about $50 ton, the spray solution
can be made for approximately 1 cent
a gallon. the fertilizer value of the ex-
tracted refuse covering the cost of la
Dor, etc. The sprays should be made
up as they are needed. for fermenta-
ton begins within a day or two.
Washes made of fishOil or laundry
soap are also effective against aphids,
and are especially suitable fer use on
small scale. The fishOil soap Of diff
ferent brands on the market varies
greatly in water content, SO that the
precise quantity Of soap to be used
with a given amount Of water will
vary also. Manufacturers, however,
are required by the federal insecticide
act of 1910 to state on the label the
amount Of active ingredients Tin this
case soap) and Of inert ingredients.
This will enable purchasers to make
up a solution which should range
from one pound Of soap for five gall
Ions Of water to one pound for seven
gallons, depending upon the amount Of
water present in the soap. As has
been already said. soap should not be
added to lime-sulphur solution. This
