The silo campaign preceded by the

a series of tours from Staples, Wad-

similar tours in other parts of the

Turnips A Good Late Crop

Turnips are good food and may be
sown as late as July 10, though it is
better to SOW them by July 1 if pos
sible.
Turnips do we'll on new land, but
will grow in any soil rich enough
for grain or corn. One or two pounds
of seed to the acre is enough if sown
broadcast. If the turnips are put in
with drills the rows should be from
"A to 80 inches apart. This will call
for a half pound of seed to the acre
if they are carefully sown. .Turnips
need very little cultivation.

WIREWORM IS CORN'S
UNDERGROUND ENEMY
Damage Lessened by Careful Till
age, Better Drainage and Rota-
tation of Crops

The wireworm is reported at work
in the corn, fields of this vicinity,
and because the worm works entire
" underground, it is among the most
difficult to control of all the insect
foes of corn. Much may be done, how
ever, to lessen their ravages by care
full tillage, drainage, and proper ro-
tation of crops, and entomologists OF
the United States Department of Ag-
be put into effect.
WirewOrms are the young of the
common snapping-beetles or click
beetles, and the worms are yellowish
or brownish, highly polished, and
slippery to the touch. They move
actively and disappear rapidly when
brought to the surface by the pillow
or spade. The eggs are laid in the
ground, usually in the sod lands, and
here the young worms are Matched.
Three years are required for most
kinds of WirewOrms to get their full
growth and become beetles.
Where sod land is to be planted to
corn the following year, the land
should be pIowed Immediately after
the first cutting of hay, usually early
in July and should be cultivated
deeply during the rest of the summer.
When it is practicable, other crops
not severely attacked by the wire
worms, such as field peas or buck
wheat, should be grown on such land
before corn. This practice will ma
terially reduce the number of wire
worms in the soil.
Land already in corn, which is
badly infested, should be cultivated
deeply even at the risk of slightly
root-pruning the corn. This should
be continued as long as the corn can
be cultivated, and if wheat is to fol-
low the field should be titled thor
oughly as soon as the corn crop is
removed.
In regions where wheat land is
seeded down for hay, any treatment
Of infested fields is precluded. ere
the wheat is not followed by ing
to other crops, the fields s. be
plOwed as soon as the whe' r
vested. Flowing kills the ' V
destroying their food supply
venting them from preparing s. Idle
quarters for the winter
Some kinds of wireworms live only
in land that is poorly drained, and
for this reason tile drainage of land
is beneficial, especially where the
general condition of the field is
further improved by applications of
lime and by thorough cultivation.
In the Northwest and northern
Middle West the dry-land wireworm
is sometimes very injurious. The fol-
lowing methods have been found to
be valuable in the eradication of this
pest: CD Disk or drag-harrow the
summer fallow as soon as possible in
the spring, in order to produce a
dust mulch and thereby conserve the
accumulated winter moisture; CD
continue the disking as often as is
necessary in order to maintain the
mulch and keep down the weeds; 90
pillow the summer faIlow in July or
early in August and immediately
drag; (4) pillow the stubbIe as soon
as the crop is removed.

ditional information on wireworms

studies, for which great laboratories
have been established, and on account
of the difficulty of doing such things
within the limits of school, an agree
ment of cooperation has been entered
into between Technology and five great
manufacturing establishments, whereby
students pursue routine and research
chemical work in these establishments.

SCARCITY OF PAPER
I. BOOSTS Bible PRICES
Advance of twenty-five to Fifty Per
Cent in Religious Books.
oed.l to The washinston Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-The high price
Of paper has catapulted the cost of
Bibles, hymnals, song books, leaflets
and tracts used by churches. The cheap
est Bible on the market today. which
retailed formerly at Is cents, now costs
25 cents.
The advance in the price of Bibles
represents an increase of from 25 to 80
per cent Thrice within the last year
has the price been boosted. The last
rise was announced November l, and
it is reported that worshipers will have
to pay larger price again soon.
Not only are the cheap bound Bibles
distributed by the thousands by for
eign and home missionary societies
higher, but the expensive, engraved
volumes also have trebled in price.
The advance in the cost of religious
papers is attributed to the paper fam
inc, which has ballooned the price of
all grades and has resulted in a move
for the conservation of waste paper,
magazines and pasteboard. This waste,
into pasteboard.
"All publications for church uses
have been hard hit by the paper situa-
tion." said the representative of a
church publication society today: Some
OF the monthly and weekly religious
periodicals have been compelled to in
crease their subscription rates from so
cents to 81 a year. Others have re-
duced the number of pages they pub
lish. Still others, in order to come out
even financially. fine it compulsory to
use cheaper grades OF news print
paper"
Even the vati-colored reward
ticket" that Sunday school pupils re-
ceive for punctuality and ability to
memorize Biblical quotations has
Joined in the rush upward. They cost
10 per cent more than the Sunday
school superintendents paid a year ago.

responsible for the infantile paralysis
epidemics Of last year.
IT must confess" he said, "that when
1t was announced that the causative or
ganism had been found in the intestinal
passages. as well as elsewhere, and that
1t probably enters the body OF the patient
through the mucus membrane OF the
mouth and nose, 1 instantly thought Of
the house fly and the all too frequent
contamination of exposed food by this in
sect. But a second thought showed me
that were such a method of conveyance
of the disease possible, the disease itself
would be much more common and there
would have been many thousands Of cases
last summer rather than merely hun
dreds. Then, too, the infreQuent winter
cases can not very well be hy-borne."
DIR. Howard denied that mosquitoes
were carriers of the disease. and he ex-
planned that rat-heas, which have been
mentioned, go to human beings only in
the event of epidemic disease among
rats, and that nothing of this sort has
been noted in connection with the recent
paralysis epidemics.
His whole studies had convinced him
that the disease was not insect-borne.
