to be selected from prominent hotel
men of the state. The committee will

cure the cooperation of as many as
possible of the 1,157 proprietors of no
tells and restaurants in Montana.
A curtailment of the expensive
meats and sugar is among the sugges-
lions offered for the order of service.
Dairy products will be offered as a
substitute for meat, and abstinence
pledges will be made.
''The plan has been worked out sue
in many states and cities in

will be accepted in Montana" said
Mr.. Atkinson in speaking of the con-
program.

DRESSING OF LIME
APPLIED TO MEADOW
Material Replaces That Which
Has Been Used Up in Nat
uraI Decomposition.
(By w. r. GILBERT.)

Meadow land frequently dressed
with farmyard manure will at certain
Intervals respond to a dressing OF
lime. The lime applied replaces that
which has been used up in the natural
decomposition of the organic matter
In the soil; that which has been lost
In the drainage water, and also that
which has been carried off yearly in
the hay crop and, in the cases OF
grazing, by the animals.
During recent years form of lime,
called ground lime, has been put upon
the market. 1t is produced by grind
ing cob lime by machinery to a very
fine powder, and it is thus made pos
sible to broadcast lime in caustic
condition and in a finely divided form
over the land. The chemical changes
previously described will be repeated
with this material and the ground lime
will become changed to carbonate of
lime.
Ground lime is applied in quantities
varying from five hundredweight to
twenty hundredweight per statute
acre, and when put on with Stag
sower can be uniformlyF distributed.
The question which at once becomes
apparent is whether limestone rock,
carbonate lime ground to fine pow
der and evenly distributed over
meadow land might not give results
equal to those produced by cob lime
and ground lime, and thus dispense
with the expensive process Of burning
the rock.
In considering the results, it must
always be remembered that the action
of lime in the soil is very slow and Is
extended over number of years;
consequently but few conclusions can
be drawn until more hay crops from
these plots have been weighed. The
advantage, however, it will be noticed,
rests with the finely divided varieties
Of lime, and undoubtedly the applica-
ton of lime to the soil in finely d.
vided condition is attended with more
results than where cob
lime is employed.
It is remarked:
ID In districts where, owing to
nearness of limekilns, it is more con-
venient to use cob lime, it is essen
ial that the lime be spread from the
heaps as soon as fallen, and also, in
order to insure more effective distri- |
oution, the light harrows should be |
passed over about two or three DAYS |
afterward, so as to scatter any Jumps |
hat may not have fallen in the heaps.
. (2) Ground lime should not be de-
ivered to the farm until all arrange
nents have been made for it's appli-
.ation, as loss will be occasioned by |
he bursting of the bags.
(3) When ground limestone is used
should contain high percentage
f carbonate of lime.

"The next morning, headachy and

how much he regretted his confession
of the evening before, and he hoped
the facts he'd revealed would go no
farther.
"'Oh, that's all right,' said l. L never

"Well, that night the chump turned

didn't listen to me last night, so I'm

GOVERNMENT SURVEY FOR
ESTIMATING STATE CROPS
State and County Councils of Defense
Will Cooperate to Secure In
formation at Once

Helena.-In cooperation with the
state council of defense, the county
councils of defense, county agents, and
the extension department of the agri-
cultural college, the federal bureau of
crop estimates has made arrangements
for an acreage survey to be made in
Montana at once, and completed by
October II.
The government desires to ascer-
tain the exact number of acres under
cultivation in the state, whether it
produced crop this year or not. The
data is desired from this state, as well
as from others, as basis upon which
to compute the quantities of food stuff
that can be grown.
When compiled the experts will be
able to figure the approximate num-
Der of acres that are needed for the
of this country as well as
of its allies.
This will be the first survey of the
kind ever made in Montana.

INSECT DOES VAST
AMOUNT OF INJURY
Corn Ear Worm Does Much Harm
to Garden and Field Crops
Fall Flowing Urged.

The corn ear-worm does a vast
amount of injury each year to yalua-
BILE garden and field crops. 1t is prac-
tically the only insect which Injuries
the ears Of field corn, and it is de-
cidedly the worst insect pest Of sweet
corn. This worm Goes considerable
damage to tomatoes by boring into
the green and ripening fruit and Is
known to the grower as the tomato
fruit-worm it bores into the bud" or
unfolding leaves Of tobacco and is
known to the planter as the tobacco

bud-worm; and it is also one Of the
serious pests of cotton in the South !;
where it is called the cotton boll-worm
from its habit Of boring into the cot
ton-bolls.
The full-grown worms are variable
they are a dull greenish or brownish
color, with indistinct stripes or spots,
and are about Ia inches long. Win
ter is passed in the pupa or resting
stage in the soil. When the worm be-
comes full grown it burrows down in
structs a tube or gallery nearly to
the surface of the ground for the use
of the moth which will come out later.
The worm retires to the bottom of the
gallery and changes to the pupa or
resting stage. 1t is in this stage and
sect passes the winter.
According to T. J. Talbert of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture, one of the best means OF
control is fall blowing and narrowing
or disking, in order to break up the
opening tubes or exit galleries of the
soil. This also brings the resting
stage (pupa) of the insect nearer the
surface, where the alternate freezing
and thawing during the winter will
have a greater effect in destroying it.
Fall blowing and cultivation have
been found almost 100 per cent effec-
tive for the area covered.

Test All Seed Wheat

Helena.-It is of the utmost impor-
lance that farmers planting winter
wheat, test their seed for termination,
according to Richard Manger, who is
n the city from White Sulphur Springs.
Mr.. Manager states that because of the
long dry spell, the terminating quail
ties of much of the wheat was affect
ed. Tests made of some lots indicated
it was not fit for seed, while other
wheat only terminated 30 to go per
cent. 1t is presumed that spring wheat
was also affected, but its powers of
elimination have not been tested.
