CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use of Dead Wood for Fuel Is Also
Applied to Scoundrels and
the War.

Forestry experts in New York, q
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention TO its wealth in trees,
urge farmers To help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber in
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn in their stoves aud CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and TO cut
down and utilize crooked trees obvi-
ously foredoOmed to worthleSSness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This is good advice. and there is n
human moral in the crooked stick part

Relluion in France.

There IL no state reli gion in France
but the adherents of any church or
creed cam hold their religious belief
and observe their religious practices.
Under the law promulgated on Deem
Der 8, 1905. the churches were sepa-
rated from the state, the adherents
of all creedS were authorized to form
associations for public worship, and
the state, the departments and the
communes, were relieved from pay
ment of salaries to clergymen. For
clergymen of forty-five years of age
pensions were provided. Buildings
used for public worship were made
over to associations for public wor-
ship. The association law of July l,
1901, requires religious communities
to be authorized by the state. and no
monastic association can be authorized
without a special law In each particu-
lar case. Before the passing of that
law there were 90 recognized ass0ci-
ations, and 1913 not recognized. After
the passing of the law, of the 753 not
recognized, 305 dissolved themselves,
and Ais asked for authorization which
was refused by the chambers, or par
lament, to the majority of them.

Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosquito was the carrier of
yellow fever, writes e. w. Nelson In
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type of mosquito is known
to be the carrier of malaria. The En-
rOpean war has brought to almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
to be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers Of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat in it's tremendous drain on
the prosperity of nations by it's de-
struction Of food and other property.

MAKE WAR ON INSECTS
Campaign to Teach Every Farm
er and Keeper of Foods.
Reduction Of Only Per Cent of Pres.
ent Losses Would Result in SAVING
Millions of Bushels of I'M
portant Crops.

QFrom the United States Department OF
Agricultural
In an effort To reduce the enormous
annual loss of food caused by attacks
of insects On growing crops, stored
food supplies, and live stock the bu-
reau of entomology of the United
States department OF agriculture, in
cooperation with the extension sery-
ices of the states, is to begin a vigor-
Gus campaign to teach insect fighting.
Covering the country as effectively
as possible with emergency funds made
available in the food production bill
just enacted by congress the entomolo-
gists will deal with every pest of i'm
portant crops. Should the campaign.
planned result in a reduction of only
per cent of present losses from In
sects an amount aggregating millions
of bushels it is estimated would be
saved. 1t is expected that an effective
campaign would result in even larger
saving.
Specialists will give demonstrations
TO small groups of farmers, fruit grow
ers and others in regions where their
services are most needed. Wherever
it can NO cone persons in the community
where the demonstration is being con-
Quoted will be asked to assist in pre-
pairing spray mixtures, emulsions, poi
Soned bats, dips, washes and the like.
These persons, so far as practicable,
then will be requested to assist in the
application of these and other meas.
ures in order that each community in
which demonstrations are given will
have one or more persons acquainted
with methods of assembling and apply
ing insecticides and in the use of other
remedial measures.
Specialists in rice insects will visit
rice fields. Men familiar with the in
sect pests of the orchard and vineyard
Will be sent to those states where fruit
growing is an important industry. In
the large trucking areas of the country
and elsewhere specialists familiar with
the insects of truck crops will be de-
tailed. Men familiar with the insect
pests of cereal and forage crops viii
work in states where these crops are
of most Importance, and will give spe-
cial attention to such important pests
as the Hessian fly, chinch bug and
joint worms.
In case of serious insect outbreaks
men will be available TO concentrate
effort in the infested territory to pre-
vent, if possible, further spread of the
pest. 1t is planned to give attention
ing information about methods for the
prevention of insect losses to stored
grains, -four and other products, in
mills, warehouses and granaries, and
for the reduction of losses to other
stored food products.

GOOD WORK OF INCUBATION
That LeCumes Are Benefited Is Shown
by Several Experiment Stations
Increases Growth.

Farmers sometimes question the adj
visibility of inoculating legumes. That
legumes are benefited by incubation
has been shown by several experiment
stations. The Wisconsin, Illinois and
other stations have shown that inocula-
ton gives decidedly beneficial esults.
In the first place, incubation in
creases the total growth of the plant,
giving greater yields of hay. In most
test cases the hay crop has been In
creased about 20 per cent ana in some
instances it has been doubled. Not
only is more hay produced, but the hay
is richer in protein and consequently
of higher feeding value, according to
w. A. Albrecht of the University of
Missouri college of agriculture. Cow
pea hay from plants, inoculated at the
Illinois station, contained &c per cent
protein while plants not treated car
ried but 1914 per cent of this valuable
food constituent. incubation enables
the plant to get nitrogen from the air
in addition to that from the soil. This
not only conserves the supply, but
when the crop is turned under 1t in
creases the nitrogen content of the
soil.
incubation, then, is beneficial be-
cause it increases the yield and i'm
proves the quality of hay and enriches
the soil through the nitrogen of the
air. These benefits justify the expense
and trouble of incubation.

fostered by a third man named Agi-
tator. who had his own ak to grind and
had found it to his advantage to pose
as Wage Earner's friend. OF course you
can't find Agitator in the boat Of In

By making it necessary for peo-
pie to do their own thinking, a
thing which a regime of peace
would never do, war will be TIE

The great trouble with the
church today is intellectual anes-
thesia. Our churches are en-
numbered with people who have
not had a real thought or idea in
years.
They consider thinking a sin.
They look with suspicion and a.
larm on the mental progress of
the world. They largely prefer
an innocuous sleep to work on ac-
complishments of the mind.
Religion will never win the
world, as it should, until it ceases
calling stupidity pious and ignor,
