Parents Of cutworms.
The parents of cutworms are gray
ish or brownish moths, or "millers,' -
which commonly occur at lights during
summer evenings. Each moth may lay
from 200 to 500 eggs, either in masses
or singly, in fields covered with dense
vegetation, and hence the eggs are to
be found more often than elsewhere in
cultivated fields which have been in
grass or weeds the preceding fall.
The eggs hatch in the fall, few weeks
after they are laid, usually during
September, and the young cutworms,
after feeding on grass and other vege-
tation until cold weather, pass the
winter as partly grown caterpillars. If
an infested field is left to grass, no no.
ticeable injury is likely to occur; but
when it is broken up and planted to
corn or other wide-row crops, the
worms, suddenly being placed on
"shOrt rations," play havoc with the
newly planted crops, the nearly full
grown worms feeding greedily and
consuming an enormous amount O
food. In northern ATTITUDES they attain
full growth and stop feeding in late
June or early. July, and then change to
the pupal or resting stage.

FORTY LANGUAGES IN CAMP
Necessity of One Tongue Has Renewed
Efforts to Establish Schools
for immigrants.

Recently an accurate census was
taken concerning the different Ian
guages spoken by soldiers training in
Camp Devens, Mass, which showed
that 40 languages We're spoken by the
men in that camp. There We're 2,269
men whose habitual speech is French;
1851 who speak Italian, and so on
down to the relatively few who speak
Japanese, Serbian, Egyptian, Persian,
Assyrian, Flemish and Arabic. OF spe-
cial interest were the 625 men who
speak German.
This is just one solution TO a puzzle
like that. Their must be one language
which all understand and of necessity
that language. lis English. The facts
disclosed by this investigation have re-
newed the efforts made to establish
system of schools to teach every immi-
grant the English language
In the cooperative efforts in which
the whole nation is engaged. such as
war and many other things, one Ian
gUage is a necessity. Very little atten-
tion has been paid to that in the past,
but the Importance of it is being recog-
nized among all classes of thinkers at
the present time.-Omaha WOrld-Her-

twisted or burIy fiber, and those with
large center stem are of poor quail
ity and should be separated from the
good brush. Grading can be done con.
veniently either when the brush Is
being taken from the field, after II
is thrashed, or just before the baling
is done.
The practice of baling the crop with
out grading is q common source of loss
to the grower. Where good and poor
brush are mixed the buyer will esti.
mate the percentage of poor brush a
little higher than appearances indicate,
in order to be on the safe side. The
price paid under such circumstances
usually is less than the total price the
good brush and poor brush would have
cases the grower will be well repaid
for the time and labor devoted to grad
ing his brush and baling each grade
separately.
The brush should be taken up in
small armfuls and butted against a
board, so that all the butts are even.
1t should then be placed in the baler,
with the butts set firmly against the
end of the baler. The butts of one
armful are placed against one end and
those of the next armful against the
other end, continuing the process un-
til the baler is full. The bale is then
pressed into shape and the wires fas-
tened. If the bale is pressed tightly
and the wires properly adjusted, a
good square bale will result.
Baling should not be done until the
brush is dry enough to eliminate all
danger of its mOlding in the bale. If
baling is delayed indefinitely after the
brush is dry, it should be bulked and
protected from the light or it will
bleach.
The bales should be stored in q dry,
dark place for protection from the
weather and sunlight: otherwise the
outside will be weather stained or
bleached by the sun, and they will not
bring as high a price as if kept in good
condition.
The brush can be marketed to best
advantage in carload lots, because of
the difference between freight rates In
full cars and smaller lots. The brush
runs about bales to the ton and
from 10 to - tons to the carload. Com
munity cooperation is needed to obtain
the greatest success in growing broom
corn. This will make possible mar
keting the crop in carload lots, with a
consequent saving in freight. The
manufacturers are most likely to send
an experienced buyer into such a COM
munity, and it is possible for commu.
nifty to grow a uniform grade of brush
which will be recognized and sought
at a premium by the manufacturer.
