PROPER SALUTE
MUCH MORE THAN
MATTER OF FORM
(Trench and Camp)

Sometimes the great truth losSe'
it's imurcSSivcncss because of an I'm
fortunate. even awkward presentation
For instance: Officers frequently
tell their men that a soldier is a gooG
soldier because he salutes properly
They mean that a good soldier salu-
ties properly because he is a good sol
der. That is something quite different
The salute does not make the soldier
the soldier makes the salute.
Properly executed, the salute re
fleets discipline and devotion. Care
lcssly given, it reflects lack of disci-
pine and lack of devotion.
The salute should be automatic,
but never mechanical. 1t is the in
dividual expression of an individuals
part in a great military-more than
that, a great Notwithstanding.
Authority Behind Officer
The soldier sees the commissioned
officer, sees i'm him the authority of
the nation, the authority to com
mand. The soldier brings himself
I'd the salute and. without words,
says more eloquently than he could
in words, "You are chosen to lead;
| will obey" The Officer recognizes
the soldier by returning the salute
and says, without a word, Il realize
my responsibilities and will endeaver
to fulfill them"
Day in a day out. this exchange
Of greetings goes on whenever Off
GERS and enlisted men meet. Day
in and day out there should be this
reconsecrating of ones self to the
cause under whose banner all are SER
wing. The salute should be solemn,
ceremonious-as one British officer
put it, a magnificent thing! Why?
Because it implies so much.
Automatic, But Not Mechanical :.
In stress of action, the instant sa-
lutte calls n to ~self-control. For
while it becomes automatic. it sum-
mons the one who is rendering it to
an attitude at attention. In that atti-
tude orders can be comprehended.
Every muscle, every fibre of ones
being comes into play in the proper
ly rendered salute.
The good soldier r]everences the
flag. He does not pass Old Glory
with head bowed and a covert glance.
He does not pass by the Stars and
Stripes seeking to evade the
ence due. His head is erect ibis chin
drawn in; his shoulders squared, and
proudly his whole being proclaims
his thought, That is my flag"
When he passes a commissioned
officer, he ~salutes proudly, because
the officer to him is more than his
the man who must be
obeyed. He salutes not only the maj
in authority, but the source of that
authority-and that authority is the
United States of America, which the
flag symbolizes.

makes a splendid suggestion in re-
commencing church and other COM

meetings. These gatherings are
economical, because a large number
of persons are served and because
they can be utilized as a demonstra-
tion of the use of foods of which
we have an abundance, and a saw
ing of those which are scarce. In
addition to this they bring the peo-
pie together for patriotic intercourse,

BUSINESS RECORDS
FOR THE FARM

Farm accounting has been made
necessary for the larger farm BUSH
nesses, by the income tax law. But
there are other reasons which make
farm accounting necessary for the
intelligent conduct of the business.
The most important of these are men
toned in Experiment Station Circu-
lar "a, SLOW to Keep Farm Accounts
Of the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. These are: AS
basis for planning business opera
tons, To determine cost of produc-
ton, To secure the most advHntag
eous loon.
The farmer cannot plan his BUSH
ness operations intelligently unless he
knows just what his farming opera
tons are paying him. Without ac-
counts he does not know whether a
given crop or given kind of livestock
is paying its way or is source of
loss. 1t is especially necessary that
he know production costs so that he
may modify his operations according
to those costs. The farmer who can
show his banker well kept account
DOOk can ODtdiN d iHoTe advantageous
loan than the farmer who can supply
only estimates of his business. The
accounts will be especially advantage
eous also in obtaining loan from
the Farm Loan Banks.
Experiment Station Circular 81 will
be mailed free of charge to those per-
sons who apply to the College of Ag-
riculture, Columbia, Mo-, for it.

Poison Controls Squash, Pumpkin,
and Cucumber Insects.

Arsenatc of lead applied to squash,
pumpkin, cucumber and related crops
will control the insects which attack
these plants. Arsenate of lead may
be obtained in the powdered or paste
form, either of which may be used for
liquid sprays. The powdered form
must be used for the dust spray. The
powdered form should be mixed with
air-slacked lime in equal parts before
it is applied. Two tablespoonful of
arsenate of lead paste to one gallon
of water is the right proportion when
the poison is to be applied as a
spray. When large areas are to be
sprayed the poison should be mixed at
the rate Of two pounds to so gallons
Of bordeaux mixture or water, and APP
piled every week until the pest is I'M
der control.
In addition to the striped beetle, and
other chewing insects, green lice and
the larger, dark-colored squash sting
bugs also attack these plants. The
green plant lice may be controlled by
applying a solution containing tobac-
co juice or nicotine sulphate. The first
stink-bugs that appear may be killed
by hand. The small patches of oval
shaped, yellow eggs which may be
found from day to day on the leaves
should be destroyed. These are laid
by the adult bugs.

TO KEEP YOUR BINDER BUSY

Most delays in the wheat field
caused by the binder occur during the
first few hours or the first day or two
of harvest. Various organizations are
urging that as many as possible of
these delays be eliminated this year
by putting the binder in good running
condition. before the wheat is ready to
cut. Observation of the following
suggestions made by E. w. Lehman
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture will help to keep your
binder busy:
1. Remember that grain cannot be
cut with worn or broken sickle.
2. Order repairs before harvest
time-it saves time and money.
8. Do not attempt to run the binder
with badly worn or torn canvasses.
4. Do not give the machine an oil
bath at the beginning of the season
and expect that to be sufficient. {S
5. Oil all bearings frequently and
use little oil each time.
6. Protect your machine from the
weather. 1t will work better and last
longer.
I. Keep the tool box equipped for
making emergency repairs.
Get an instruction book on your
binder from the manufacturer and
study it.
8. Test the machine in the field be-
fore the harvest crew is assembled.
