SOIL SERVES AS A STOMACH
Expression available Plant Food" Is
Explained by Expert Of Mis-
souri, College.

Every reader Of farm paper must
have encountered frequently the ex-
preston available plant food" AS
defined by II. r. Iudelson of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agricul-
ture, 1t means the plant food which
will readily dissolve In the soil water
so that the plant can take 1t up. In
the animal stomach there are certain
digestive fluids that dissolve the food
so that 1t can be absorbed into the
blood stream. The soil must serve as
stomach for plants and as the plant
| food dissolves in the soil water 1t is
absorbed into the plant juices and
moves up through the plant, where 1t
can be used. The extra water evapo-
rates from the leaves and moves up,
giving constant circulation. From
this 1t can be seen that only dissolved
| plant food can be used. Almost all
soil materials can be dissolved to a
slight extent, but often the rate Of
| dlssolving is too slow.

DDS of destroying this animal when
necessary.
Trapping Is the most effective means
for putting an end to mole depreda-
lions. Although this bulletin consid-
ers the common garden mole of East
ern United States, to great extent
the instructions for trapping 1t apply
to all American moles. Three general
types Of traps-the harpoon, the scis-
sors-jaw, and the choker-are on the
market, and most of them give good
results. Specific instructions for
handling any particular make should
be obtainablc from the manufacturer.
Successful Mole Trap.
In general, a mole trap can be sue
cessfully operated only when set on
that part of the runway that Is near
enough to the surface to upridge the
sod or soil. A little observation will
soon enable one to distinguish the new
er and more frequently used runways
from those that have been partially
or wholly abandoned. In placing the
trap, one of the stretches of the run
that seems to be leading in some def
mite direction should be selected rath
er than one of the turns of a laby
rinth that may not be traversed every
time the mole comes into the vicinity
Before setting the trap 1t Is well tc
ascertain the course of the burrow by
thrusting down lead pencil or a stick
of about the same size. The trap Sc
lected should then be lined up with

SPOILS GOOD EGGS
Careful investigation Shows That
From II to % Per Cent Of Washed
Eggs Are Worthless.

Approximately 100000 dozen eggs
spoil needlessly every year in cold
storage in this country simply because
someone has let clean eggs get wet or
washed dirty eggs before sending them
to market. Careful Investigations of
large quantities Of stored eggs show
that from II to % per cent of washed
eggs become worthless in storage,
whereas only four 10 eight per cent Of
dirty eggs stored upwashed spoil. The
explanation Is simple. Water re-
moves from the slscll of the egg n
gelatinous covering which helps to
keep air and germs out of the Inside
of the eggs. Once this covering is
removed by washing or rain which
gets the eggs in the nest, germs and
molds find ready access to the con-
tents and spoil the eggs.
Millions of eggs spoil in storage

New York.--It Is the most natural
thing In the world that the buoyancy,
optimism and remarkable rise In COM
merce which have been brought about
in Paris by the men who wear our
khaki should be reflected In the cos
tumery which the French designers are
offering to the American buyers.
1t is not overdone, so we hear. There
were enough American buyers In Paris
during the spring to forewarn the
French designers against making
clothes that incorporate military fea-
lures with which the American wom-
an is overfamiliar.
What Is a surprise to the French is
an old, old story to us. They know
nothing of the cowboy hat, the clay
colored flannel shirt rolling open in
front, the military jacket buttoned to
the chin and the West Point overcoat
but we have known these from the be-
ginning, and we have not worn them
because they were part of the soil.
Paris, however, will reflect In her
new costumes just enough of our mill
tary uniforms to make them interest
ing to us. Her only market today
comprises the two Americas and seq
ment of England, and 1t is said that she
has combined the Spanish and the
North American effect In her clothes,
with only dash Of Russian.
There will be an undoubted Spanish
influence this season. The reason for
this is not political, although Brazil
and Argentine have filled the French
dressmaking houses for decades with
their wealthiest customers. Their
sympathy today Ia very dear to Paris,
and whatever is dear to Paris comes
out in her clothes.
Tho Exhibition In Madrid.
The real reason, however, behind
the Spanish influence, Is the warm well
come that Madrid gave to an early ex-
hibltion of Paris clothes. Paul Poiret
was there directing and suggesting,
and all the other important dressmak-
ers exhibited in this important neutral
country. Poiret, Worth and Lanvin
have been urging Spanish costumery
for two years, and this exhibition In
Madrid clinched the situation.
In exactly what manner the Spanish
costumery Of several centuries viii be
reflected in the new French clothes,
we're not yet quite sure, but the i'm
mense ruffs and elongated cuffs OF
white organdie and muslin which have
appeared on new bodices indicate that
the portraits of Philip the Fourth and
his contemporaries have already given
inspiration.
A Touch Of Chinese.
Whenever we think of the Chinese
silhouette we begin first with the tight
ened hips, then 60 on to the narrow
hem and the slim but loose line above
the waist.
Now, this is the silhouette which
France has launched. A few Of thu
great designers sent word that thu
new idea of the silhouette is taker

ORDER FRUIT CRATES EARLY
United States Department OF Aericul-

Fruit growers are again being urged
by the United States department of
agriculture to place their orders for
fruit packages at the earliest possible
moment in order to insure their de-
livery when needed. 1t seems that the

the course as nearly as possible; that
Is, the jaws of the scissor-jaw type
should be astrlde 1t, the loops of the
choker type should enclrcle It, and the
spikes of the harpoon type should be
directly above 1t. If the harpoon type
Is used, 1t Is best to force the i'm
pallng spikes into the ground once or
twice to facilitate their penetrating
into the burrow when the trap Is later
sprung. This type of trap Injuries the
pelts of moles, and is not recommend
ed for use when 1t is desired to pre-
serve the fur.
Repeated leveling of the mole ridges
on the lawn by means of roller not
only tends to discourage the animals
from making further incursions, but
prevents that injury to the grass
roots which otherwise would result,
and restores to the lawn its more
slightly appearance.
Unjustly Blamed.
The mole Is blamed for much dam
age 1t does not do, the specialist ex.
plains, because other small animals,
particularly voles or meadow mice,
deer mice, and sometimes ordinary
house mice use the convenient run
ways Of the mole for marauding. Most
of the injury to seed grains, tubers,
rectly chargeable to these ntruding
rodents, as an examination of the
toothmarks on the damaged prod
ucts will show.
From an examination of the stomach
contents Of 200 moles taken in all
months of the year it was found that
earthworms and white grubs constitute
the bulk of the food. Beetles and
their larvae and other insects that en-
ter the ground, spiders, centipedes,
cocoons, and puparia also form part
of the diet. In one stomach were found
the remains of III small white grubs,
in another 10 cutworms, and in an
other ~ earthworms. The presence
of starchy material in some of the
stomachs is proof that the mole &C.
casionally finds vegetable food, as GER
tain seed grains, softened by con-
tact with the moist soil, an acceptable
addition to its worm and insect diet.
Seed coats Of corn, wheat, oats, and
peanuts have been identified in few
stomachS.
Market for Skins.
Moleskins have found n ready mar
ket in recent years owing to the grad
ually decreasing number of wild fur
bearing animals. A new industry
amounting to many thousands of dol
lars annually might be developed in
this country in the utilization of mole
skins, the specialist believes. 1t is not
feasible to attempt to breed moles for
their pelts, but farmers boys or 9th
crs may easily earn small profits by
capturing moles found damaging crops
or seriously interfering with garden
plants, cemeteries or lawns. In
formation regarding addresses Of firms
that will purchase moleskins, the care
of skins, and home tanning will be
furnished by the biological survey or
