Austria Hungary was before the war

largely a matter of fertilizing. Farms

Farming in Austria hungary. as in

CUT WORMS ARE
EASILY HANDLED
Ignorance of Exterminating
Methods Is Cause, of,
Large Losses

State Zoologist j. G. Sanders has is
sued bulletin In which he gives
some valuable information to owners
of small gardens.
cut worms are easily controlled.
but ignorance of methods allow heavy
losses OF garden and field crops to
continue, which aggregate throughout
the state hundreds of thousands of
dollars yearly. The army worm is
one or the many species of cut
worms said DR.. Sanders.
Cut-worms generally work at night,
cutting of plants at the surface OF
the ground. and then they try to drag
the plant into their burrows. These
pests hide away during the day, and
are not frequently seen except by
close observation when cultivating the
soil. Cut-worms must not be con-
fused with the common white grub
which feeds only on the roots of
plants and never appears above the
ground. The common brown or grav
moths which are attracted to lights
AT night during the summer, are the
parents of cut-worms.
"A poison bran mash made of com
mon wheat bran, twenty-five pounds
mixed dry with one-half pound OF
Paris Green, and moistened with three
or four gallons of water, to which has
been added the juice and pulp of three
or four lemons or oranges, and one
quart of cheap, black molasses. This
poison mash should BE thoroughly
mixed with water so that il will bare

hano. Scatter this mash broadcast in

the late evening through gardens or
about fields which are to be protected
from cut-worm attack.
ITO protect small garden plots. one
quart of bran. one tablespoonful of
Paris Green. two or three tablespoon
fuls of syrup and the juice of part
OF an orange with water will be suffi-
cient.
The cabbage maggots which cause
much injury to stems of young cab
bage plants, recently set out, is the
maggot of common fly, which is
similar in size and appearance to the
housefiy. The fly lays its eggs at the
base of the plant in the soil or on
the plant itself, and these hatch in
very few days, becoming tiny mag
gots which burrow into the stalks of
the cabbage plants, causing much
damage and frequently killing the
plants.
Much of this damage of the mag
gots can be prevented by placing a.
small circle of tarred paper four
inches in diameter about the plant.
The little starred paper disc Is cut
half way through to the center and
placed closely about the plant and
packed down on top of the soil. This
will prevent, in most cases, the laying
of the eggs by the adult fly. and in
jury from the maggots. This tarred
paper disc treatment is available for
garden plots. but is too expensive
from the standpoint of time and labor
to use in large field planting, although
frequently results are satisfactory"

On his way to the bank Simpson
met Jules Moncel. -
Good morning monseer," said
correspondence course in banking,
he was learning French by mail.
Also, Simpson was the leading real
estate dealer of the town, and he
had just collected several sizable
checks, hence he was in good spirits.
Bon jour, monsieur" smiled the
Frenchman.
Moncel was dressed neatly, with a
flower in his buttonhole, although
his only income was from a small
/ stationery establishment.
Il am investing this morning"
went on Simpson, Investing in the
bank. That's a good thing to do,
isn't it? You have an account at
the bank yourself, 1 notice"
Moncel lifted one gray eyebrow
and the other shoulder.
AN account-yes," he replied.
But this morning | go to take out,
not put in. You see, Mister Simpson,
| am about to invest in my govern

"Only millionaires do that here"
| observed the real estate dealer as

gether. "A bank books good enough

cry time, especially with money, You
Frenchmen' stow away the iron boys
| in vaults, too. l hear, monseer."
The iron boys?" Moncel looked
puzzled. "Ah, it is dollars you mean?
Well, it is true that we in France
are called the nation of bankers. But
that is because each man invests for
himself. When one can, one buys
securities, when the price is good
every one, and especially the gov
cYnment rentes."
Simpson thought he saw an op-
portunity to show off some of his
new banking wisdom by the postal
route. .t
Hold on a minute. Moncel," he
broke in. "If every one did that here,
what would become of the great in
dustrial business houses in America?
Our gigantic enterprises - which
have made the country what it is
need funds.
Moncel considered this and shook
his head.
What is the time a business needs

they must have funds, bat they have
them already, is it not so? And
then, l have not seen many new
securities offered for sale for many
weeks. That must mean, without
doubt, your industrial houses are not
asking for new money now. Yes?"
The idea of looking on Uncle Sam
as a business house tickled Simpsons s
fancy Unable to object to Moncers
reasoning, he fell back on his bank
ing text book.
You're taking a big chance, old
man" he said, lin buying French
government bonds when the value of
your money-the franc-here has
gone down"
Hardly so, Mister Simpson," cor
rected Moncel with a smile, DE

war. and so, is it not, more bonds

York banker. And so I can asset

We'll, that may be so, Moncel.
But yon can't say you really help
out, France! Why, you don't fork
over more than a shoe-string a
week."
MoncefS eyebrow went up again,
and his smile was quizzical
Before the war;" he explained,

NEST ce pas. Now i eat salad in

1t all goes to Paris. Yes.''
Excuse me-" said Simpson as
they arrived at the bank, but if you
hand over your coin like that. what
do you live on? Grass salad, and
fresh air pate de fois gras?"
NO" smiled Moncel "every
month I get interest on my bonds
from Paris. At first. little, but after
many years, much"
But you said" cried Simpson,
that francs had deprecated in val
ue, and so in changing your Paris
francs to dollars you must lose"
"Mais non. Norwegian money.
that has not deprecated. So my
banker in France buys Norwegian
money with my francs, when he can,
and | get-what you call-full value
in dollars"
When Moncel had gone, Simpson
began to wonder if he was getting
his moneys worth-what he called
full value in dollars-out of the mail
banking course. And when he
thought of Moncers bifsteak he took
some of his own plentiful earnings
and bought Liberty Bond.
