IDEAL PLACE FOR SOLITUDE
Bird Island, In Gulf of st. Lawrence,
Ono of Worlds Most Desolats
Spots.

Bird island, most northerly of the
Magdalen islands, holds the worlds
record for wrecks. The whole group,
in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, is exceed
ingly dangerous, but Bird island stands
first. More like huge rock than an
island its walls rise grim and gray In
the path Of the mariner. The island
has no beach or coast. only a steep ir-
regular cliff rising abruptly from the
water. The top Is barren plateau Of.
about five acres.
The principal inhabitants are birds.
Gulls, gannets and INJURIES come In
thousands to nest and rear their young.
The roar of their thousands of wings
browns the noise of the waters. The
Indians say that they are the souls of
shipwrecked sailors.
The human tenants Of the plateau
are the lighthouse keeper and his wife,
doomed to solitary existence except
about once or twice year when ship
brings provisions. Sometimes, perhaps
In about every three or four years, an
-enterprising naturalist comes to study
the bird life on the island.
Ships can approach Bird island only
in the calmest weather. The slight
est ripple and the craft keeps re-
speetful distance. The lighthouse is
reached by rope and windlass. The
hardest mountain climber would hesi-
tate before attempting to scale Its
rough gray walls.
The keepers of the light have been
singularly unfortunate. The first went
insane and had to be kept confined by
his wife and assistant until the pro-
vision boat arrived. The second was
borne away by floating piece of Ice
when seal hunting in the early spring.
His wife maintained the lighthouse
alone until help came from neigh
boring island.

Prof. G. I. Christie, assistant to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston, recent
~ pointed out some striking i1luStra-
lions of how the available labor sup
ply could be used to much better adj
vantage If supplemented by ma
chinery; of how some labor is not
fully utilized because machinery is not
used. On one farm in the corn belt
he saw two strong men. each with a
team of horses and a single moldboard
pillow, following each other around the
field. On an adjoining farm a seven
teen-year-old boy, driving four horses
to a two-furrow pillow, was doing as
much and better work. On one farm
two men with two horses to a wagon
were spreading manure with forks. On
an adjoining farm one man with three
horses to a manure spreader was ac-
complishing larger amount of work
in a more efficient way. For lack Of
proper machinery the labor of one of
the men blowing and one of the men
scattering manure was thrown away.
Professor Christie points out that dur
ing the rest of the season farmers can
handle their work with a materially
reduced number of men if they avail
themselves of such things as the
double cutaway harrow, wide cutter
bar of mower and binder, sheaf car
rier on the grain harvester. tractor,
haying tools, milking machine.

FAD WELCOMED BY ARTISTS
Painted Designs on Lingerie Give OPP
portunlty for Unlimited Display
of Originality.

Now that the hard-hearted hosiery
manufacturers have decided to reduce
their manufacturing costs by cutting
out the fancy colors and startling de-
signs of the ladies' lines and limiting
the output TO plain somber shades that

of femininity that demands novelties In
dress that fairly scream will have to

Antoinette on the back of the corset

PLANT FOOD DISEASES

You know something Of how
the United States department of
Agriculture protects Americas
100000 consumers against
diseased animal products.
Do you know that the depart
ment is just as vigilant in pro-
tecting the same consumers
! against diseased vegetable prod
ucts?
That, anyhow, is true.
But do not be too conceited
over what the department is do
! ing for you.
The department is interested
in the consumer as an indiyid-
: ual-in his personal welfare, in
5 seeing that he has good, whole
= some foods.
> But it is also interested in the
( population en- masse-in seeing
8 that everybody gets ENOUGH
2 food.
J Diseased vegetable products, of
! course, are not good for the in
. dividual. But there is another
! element. When vegetables are
allowed to become diseased, in
transit or otherwise, and have
to be thrown away, the total sup
! ply of available food is reduced
by just that much, and some
body has to do some more
7 scrimping.
! Those are the two reasons
: why the United States depart
) ment of agriculture devotes "a
: good deal of attention to pro-
s tecting vegetable foods against
diseases found at markets.

shortaae Of Harvest Laber.

OF all the agricultural Tabor prob
lens confronting the farmers of the
country at this time, probably the most
serious is that of getting enough help
TO harvest the wheat crop. In normal
times there was a shifting population
of from 10000 to $4,000 men who fol-
lowed the harvest season from the
South to the North of the wheat belt.
Floating labor is no longer available
to any such great extent, and the mat
ter of harvest labor, always a problem,
Is now a more serious one. Mr.. r. E.
Frizeli, the department of agriculture's
farm help specialists for Kansas, re-
Gently wrote: after full and COM
plete investigation, ! am free to say
that the farmers of Kansas viii not
be able TO save the wheat crop unless
they car. get help from some of the
surrounding states" What is true of
Kansas is probably true Of most of the
other wheat states The department OF
agriculture and the department of la
Dor, with fairly adequate funds avail
able, are using their best eiSJlts TO
solve the problem, which they undoubt-
eddy will do. But the city people OF
the states involved. by proper organ
ization and cooperation. can help a
great deal. II they care at all for

MEASURES TAKEN
TO PREVENT LOSS
Inspectors Detect Diseased Vege-
tables and Fruit Arriving at
Destination.
COUNTY AGENT IS NOTIFIED
Selling Value of Inferior Product Is
Decreased When Arriving on Mar
ket-Steps Taken to Combat
Various Disorders.

To check the loss from plant dis
eases in shipments-which also means
a loss of time, labor, material, and
ransportation-th food products in
spectors of the bureau of markets sta
TONED in most of the large receiving
centers now keep close watch for
plant diseases on fruits and vegetables
arriving on the markets.
Bad Product Not Wanted.
Diseased fruits and vegetables are
not wanted in the markets any more
than on the farm, and when carlot
shipments arrive showing evidence of
plant diseases their selling value is
decreased even If none of the produce
must be thrown away. Sometimes, in
the case Of very perishable crops. like
berries or lettuce, there are serious
losses of food because the shipments
carried plant diseases when loaded.
While no shipper would knowingly
load badly infected fruits or vege-
tables, such produce may reach the,
markets in poor condition because the
disease was present when loaded and
developed in transit. This is espe-
cially true where shipments are made
without providing proper ventilation
or refrigeration.
Steps to Combat Disease.
Whenever shipments of produce suf-
fering from plant diseases arrive the
inspectors Immediately notify the
shipper, and through the pathologists
of the department of agriculture the
county agent in the locality where
the diseased shipment originated is
instructed to take steps to combat the
disease.
Although the inspection service has
been in operation only a few months
as a part of the general inspection
work of the department in certifying
TO shippers the condition of carlot
shipments as they arrive at markets,
already it has resulted in the detec-
ton of diseases in many shipments,
and has aided growers and plant path
ologists of the department in con-
trolling the outbreaks of diseases and
preventing their spreading to other
sections of the country.

is at all manifest, not to say militant.
they will help great deal. For the
nation to mature a wheat crop and

to mobilize and train an army and
then poison it.
