INJURY By CORN.EAR WORMS
Kansas Agricultural College Finds IL
Possible TO Control Little Pest
by Spraying.

Nearly all roasting ears on the mar
ket In recent years have been injured
by the corn-ear worm. and those known
TO be free from the injury can be sold
at from 3 10 10 cents more per dozen.
For six years the department of en-
tomology OF the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and experiment station
has been studying the worm and has
found that large proportion of the
eggs deposited In the summer are
placed on the fresh corn silks. From
these eggs the worms that injure the
ears originate. The young larvae be-
Gin feeding on the silks and eat their
way down into the ear. II is, there
fore, possible to control much OF the
injury by keeping the silks sprayed
during the silklng period.
Powdered arsenate of lead has been
found TO be the most efficient poison.
A 20 per cent mixture OF arsenate OF
lead. with air-slaked lime or land plas-
ter Is practically as good as the poison
alone. The dust Is shaken upon the
silks from an ordinary cheesecloth bag
or flour sack. Under average weather
conditions four or five applications ut

PLATE BETTER THAN BRIDGE
Cannot Be Used by Dentists in Pre-
pairing Men for War, However,
AS Ii is Barred by Army.

1.-THE most conscientious dentists
are avoiding crowns and bridges
wherever possible" said DR.. Frank S.
Delano of New York, secretary of the
Dentists Preparedness association, in
discussing the difficulties the 200
members of this association are hav-
ing with putting the mouths of would
be recruits into condition for their nc
ceptance by the army and navy.
"The navy will accept men with
plates to replace teeth they have lost !;
the army will not, but makes no objee-
ton to men with crowns and bridges"
continued Doctor Delano. "Men come
to us to have their teeth put into con-
ditiOn, and we should like to make
plates for them, but as the army re-
cruiting officers reject men with plates,
we have to put in bridges. This is
unfortunate, because q bridge means
the certain death before long of the
two teeth to which 1t is anchored.
1.-The general public ought to know
this about bridgework. Many people
object to plate, but they would not
If they knew they were saving money
by it. After the anchor teeth die,
trouble begins; very soon the teeth
have to come out, and either a larger
bridge or a plate is necessary. If a
larger bridge be put in, it means the
death of two more teeth, and ultimate
ly you have to come to the plate"

MAKING MONEY OUT OF COWS
Seven Fundamental Principles Of Sue
cessfuI Dairyino-Weed Out All
Poor Animals.

There are ten rules for making
money out of COWS and they all begin
with milk good cows"
To put the case In a nutshell, or
rather 10 skim the cream from the
whole matter. let us admit that there
are, say, seven fundamental principles
of successful dairying. about as fol-
lows:
l. Weed out the poor cows by means
OF the scales and the Babcock test.
2. Feed the good cows plenty of
clean, choice stuff as close TO q bal
anced ration as possible.
3. Eliminate competition by produc-
ing n better product than the other fell
low and demanding a good price for It,
4. Head the herd with a high-class,
pure-bred sire.
5. Raise the promising calves from
the best COWS only.
6. Develop q market for your sur
plus bull calves and other stock.
Z. Feed the mind of the man behind
the COW.

The Essentials of GARDENING.

The essentials for successful gar
dening on small or large scale are
SOIL water and cultivation. Much de-
ponds also on the grower, the season
and the crops selected.
The soil is the storehouse of plant
food. The garden, therefore, should
contain humus or rOtted material in
large quantities. The gardener should
remember that about so per cent of
ordinary earth Is not soil at all, but
consists of air and water.
Water makes plantfood that is pres
ent freely soluble. Rain and snow
water are soft and contain ammonia.
The magic of soft water on the plant
world is one of the miracles of good
gardening. as everyone who has con-
trasted the effect of rain with that
produced by sprinkling with q hose
realizes. Plants are succulent and
contain large amounts of water which
they have to draw from the soil.

to prove that by careful and pains
taking work such strains can be pro-
duced.
No intelligent study of cultural
methods In the production of sugar
beets or of problems involving a
comparison Of varieties can be made
until uniform and fixed varieties with
which TO work are available.
The production of strains having
roots of uniform size and habit of
growth and capable of yielding seed
stalks uniform in habit of growth
and maturity should make possible
improved cultural methods, especially
In the planting of the roots and in
the harvesting of the seed, that will
reduce greatly the cost of production.
After seed harvest the beet roots
and stalks remain In the ground In a
sound and palatable condition for
live stock feed. The present practice
is to feed these roots in the field,
utilizing them as pasture.
The beet-sugar industry in the
United States is composed of three
distinct branches, namely, beet-seed
production, sugar-beet growing, and
beet-sugar extraction and refining.
They are so linked that each is de-
pendent upon the others, not only for
It's complete success but for it's very
existence. Without seed the sugar.
beet industry, in which more than
10000 American farmers are directly
interested, could not exist, and with
out beets the S4 beet-sugar mills now
standing. with an invested capital of
more than S100000,000, would be idle.
The beet-sugar industry is, of course,
the foundation upon which sugar
beet growing and beet-sugar extrac-
ton rests. Because of It's fundamen-
tai character, it is surprising that
country has not received more gem
eral and more earnest attention I'm the
past. The two primary causes that
have operated against the development
of the sugar-beet seed industry in this
country were ID the fact that q suf-
ficient quantity of seed to meet our re-
Quirements was easily Obtainable from
European countries at n reasonable
price and (2) the prevailing idea that
conditions in this country, from the
standpoint either of labor cost or of
climate, would not permit the success
ful development of the seed industry in
the United States. Recent experiences,
however have shown the folly of de-
pending upon foreign countries for our
beet-seed supply, while experiments
extending over many years have
proved the falsity of the opinion reln
tive TO labor and climatic conditions.

PLAN TO DESTROY CUTWORMS
commended by North Dakota Sta
tion-Spread in Evening.

(North Dakota Agricultural College Bull
letin.)
CutwormS eat off the young plants
at the surface of the ground, and they
do this in the night. In the daytime
they can usually be found buried an
inch deep and only short distance
from the last plant eaten. Plants that
are transplanted can be protected by
wrapping paper around the stem, COW
ering ii half an inch above and below
the surface of the soil. The cutworms
can be poisoned with the following:
One-half pound paris green mixed dry
with - pounds bran. then add one gall
Ion water and one quart molasses and
mix thoroughly. The set time TO spread
this is in the evening, or late after
noon.

rows Before Dry.

Two-thirds of the feeding value OF
the alfalfa plant Is In the leaves. II
the leaves are lost in curing only one
third of the feeding value remains.
This fact is regarded as important by
farmers who advocate that alfalfa hay
be cured so as 10 save the leaves. This
means that the alfalfa must be raked
into windows before the leaves dry
and fall off. Raking can be done two
hours after cutting. thus saving the
leaves and preserving the green color
