POET INJECT pEsTs AN
49,. PLANT DISEASES

Allies Of the national enemy in the
present war are at work in Minnesota.
Among those allies are the insect
pests and plant diseases which prey
upon Minnesota g crops.
|: The discovery Of damage either by
insects or plant diseases should be re-
ported to the Minnesota experiment
station just as promptly as the discov-
cry Of the presence Of spies or plot
tiers against the internal peace Of the
country would be reported.
An invasion by insects or by plant
diseases may be stopped if reported
promptly and before the invaders have
a chance to oct foothold in the crop
producing areas. For this reason, the
Experiment Station, as special war
measure, calls upon every farmer to re-
port any signs of the presence Of in
sects or plant diseases.
Reports should be sent to the Mime
sofa Experiment Station, University
Farm, st. Paul.

CULTIVATE EARLY TO KILL THE
WEEDS

Weeds are traitors to the nation in
time of war. They consume soil mois-
ture that should be saved for the food
crops and they choke back such crops,
causing enormous annual losses.
Growers of corn and potatoes can
prevent much of this waste by proper
cultivation, setting the Shovels Of the
cultivators to throw in little ridges
over the roy ). Then the fields may he
narrowed crosswise frequently. This
will stir the soil over the plants and
kill any weeds that may have started.
narrowing can be continued until corn
or potatoes are several inches high.

The Ancient Mannorv.

In the ancient time mems memories
were much more powerful than they

We can scarcely form an idea Of what

HEARING ON FREIGHT RATE IN
CREASE

Charles Sylvester, president Of the
Commercial club, is in receipt of a let
ter from Thomas Yapp, assistant secre-
tary of the Minnesota State Railroad
and Warehouse commission, stating
that hearing will be held on June IS
on the matter Of an increase OF Is per
cent on interstate freight rates, which
has been asked for bv the railroads,
and the local club is asked to have a
representative at the meeting, if pos
sible.
In his letter Mr.. Yapp also states
that the statement by the representa-
tive Of the railroad here that the in
crease of Is per cent On interstate rates
had been granted is a mistake, as no
advance has vet been allowed. He says
the railroads have asked for a fat in
crease Of Is per cent and the state
commission has received many letters
from manufacturers, jobbers and other
business firms urging that the increase
be granted but no action will be taken
until after the hearing. -.

HOG HINTS FOR COMING SUMNER

Before starting spr1ng pigs On sum-
mer feed, the entire lot should be
treated for worms unless the owner is
certain that the premises are clear.
Santonin or American wormseed oil
treatments are good.
Hogs should have a sanitary, cement
or frame, wallow. Into the water
should be put some crude oil or a dip
to destroy lice, keep the skin in good
condition and promote gains.
A maximum use of pasture is desir-
able. If present pastures are poor or
insufficient they may be supplemented
with rape. A good rape pasture should
carry 20 pigs to the acre for the season:
Wherever pigs are given full feed
of grain the self-feeder should be used
to save labor. Corn should be supple
mented with feed rich in protein.
The earliest varieties Of corn-Min'
nesota % flint corns-shou1d be
planted. The use Of such corns will
save nearly one-half the Old grain re-
quired to finish a spring pig for mar
ket. =.
The hogs should; hog-of enough corn
to finish them for the market, unless
they are to be put behind cattle.-R. G.

commission Of public safety are busy
systematizing the work in their re-
spective counties so that there may
be the least possible waste of effort
and that every citizen, man, woman
and child may do their bit in the most
effective way.
One of the important things will be
the handling of the farm labor prob.
lem so there Will be no shortage of
labor during cu1tivating. and harvest
ing crops 50 much needed and from
which Minnesota is expected to furnish
a considerable part OF the worlds food
supply. Beginning this week there
