the seed intended for planting in tight
bags and hold it over for one year, in
which case the beetle will emerge from
the seed and die before the next
planting season arrives. Another meth
cd employed by seedsmen Is to fumi-
gate the seed with carbon bisulphid.
which can be obtained at q reasonable
cost from any druggist. In applying
this remedy the seed must be placed In
tight box or barrel and exposed from
80 to 4S hours to the fumes Of this
liquid. The carbon bisulphid should
be exposed in shallow dish placed on
top of the peas, since the vapor Is
heavier than air. This vapOr when
mixed with air is quite intiammable,
and care should be taken not to ignite
1t in any way; otherwise, serious ex-
plosion may occur. One pound of the
liquid is usually considered sufficient
to fumigate 100 bushels of peas, but
1t Is well to use somewhat more than
this in order to be sure of killing all
the insects.
Continuous cropping Of the land 10
the field pea IS almost sure to mean
constant increase In the numbers of
the pea weevil. Practically the only
remedy for this state Of affairs is to
stop growing peas for several years, III
which case the weevil will be exter-
minated through lack Of food.
Pea Aphis.
Another insect which occasionally
does considerable damage is the pea
aphis, or plant louise. 1t has appeared
in pea-growing sections at intervals
and practically destroyed the seasons
crop, but 1t does not stay with the crop
so continuously year after year as does
the weevil. The aphis increases rap
idly during a period of warm, dry
weather, but a heavy rain, even when
the insect is abundant, will sometimes
free the vines almost entirely from 1t.
Unless some weather condition acts
in this way TO destroy the pest, the
only hope Of the farmer Is for the par
asites of the. aphis to increase suffi.
GENTLY in numbers to overcome and
destroy 1t.

fui and Sensible operator-Prac-
tice Teaches.

The road grader is very effective
machine, If properly used, but should
be in charge of skillful and sensible
operator. Cutting should begin at
the sides, and If the surface Is COW
cred with sod and weeds the blade
should be set on the first round in
such way that this material will be
scraped into the ditch and not on the
road. 1t can then be removed with
shOvels. In shaping up the road the
entire width of the blade should be
used, If possible, and 1t should be set
at almost right angles with the center
line of the road. so that enough will be
carried along to fill up the ruts and
holes. At each round enough mate,
rial should be moved toward the cen
ter to build up a proper crown, but
It must be remembered that a crown
of one inch to the foot Is about sufli-
cient, and 1t should not be made any
sleeper. A man can learn more about
the proper operation Of grader from
actual practice than In any other way.

PREVENT DISEASE IN STOCK
Two Important Preventives Of Loss
Are Proper Feeding and Good
Sanitation.

Proper feeding and sanitation are
two important preventives of dis
ease losses in farm animals. If care
fully applied these measures may pre-
vent many losses of meat animals.
Keep the animals sturdy and disease
resistant by feeding a good, whole
some diet. Young animals need par
ticular care and should be kept grow
ing. A balanced ration should be fed
one that contains enough digestible
protein to supply the needs of bone
and muscle growth.

Jwdery mildew is usually most de-
,lctfve on :ate-planted or late-matur-
! varieties of field peas. 1t Is also
Jnf1ned rather closely to humid eli
1ates, where it sometimes reduces the
yield considerably. The remedy for
this disease lies for the most part in
the rotation Of crops, but where only
small portions of field are affected
the disease can be controlled by spray
ing with bordeaux mixture. If large
areas are affected 1t is not economical
to spray.
Leaf-Spot or Pea-Blieht.
Another disease which has been
troublesome in the pea-canning dis
tricts Of both Wisconsin and Ohio Is
the leaf-spot or peu-blight. This dis
ease can be controlled in the same way
as powdery mildew by spraying with
bordeaux mixture where the area af-
fected Is small, but in large fields the
farmer must depend upon the rotation
OF crops. Although the disease is car
ried on the seeds, treatment of the seed
with insecticides or hot water is not
effective, because the germ of the seed
is injured by the treatment more
quickly than are the spores of the fun
gus.
Pea Weevil.
The pea weevil, the most serious In
sect enemy of the field pea. Is small
grayish or brownish gray beetle,
marked with lighter spots. The insect
lays its egg on the young pod and this
egg matches out and produces a larva
which bores through the wall of the
pod and enters the young pea. where
1t feeds on the growing embryo and
later pupates. The pupa remains in
the seed until the next season, usually
emerging from the pea the following
spring, but the behavior of the weevils
is unfortunately not uniform In this
respect, many of them coming out
sooner, so that the dates Of emergence
will range from harvest to planting
time the following year. One remedy
for the attacks of the weevil is to store

SIMPLE RATION FOR POULTRY
and Wheat Bran Fed In Hoppers
Is Excellent.

A very good, but simple poultry ra.
ton is a mixture or half and half beef
scraps and wheat bran fed in hoppers
and cracked corn given twice day in
deep litter so that the fowls must
scratch it out. The wheat and the
scraps contain a great deal Of protein
or flesh-forming material, and the corn

forming elements. OF course, vari-

Worlds Greatest Need l, Food.

The food situation in the countries of
our European allies is more critical
than at any time since the war began.
That conditions in Germany and Aus
tria are far worse does not feed those
who are fighting with Us
II the war should end today terrible
hardship must still fall upon millions
Of people all over Europe before next
years crops can be harvested. and in
spite of our utmost endeavors to get
food to them.
Our allies need American fighters
but they need food more. Our first
duty is to provide it, and to provide
for next years maximum of produce
to meet the sure shortage of years to
come in Europe.
Three and a half years Of destruc-
ton by 80 millions of unproductive
fighters have brought Europe TO
famine. Humanity must pay the
price. We can save some of those
people by spaflng every ounce OF loou
possible this year. and by making next
years crops the greatest in our his
tory.
The first duty of America is to pro-
duce food, whether it trains fighters
or not Farming today is the most i'm
portant training or trench fighting to
win the war and save world democ-
racy. 1t is more important than
sending men into i'll prepared camps to
die of pneumonia in their own land, or
to Europe for Intensive training"
Even America cannot do everything
at once, and the first consideration
should be means to the attainment or
food and then more food. rather than
the calling of men from productive in
dustries before they can be equipped
or cared for.
Otherwise starvation instead of arms
may yet end the war.
