prepared by the United States DEPART

Last year a corn pest, described by
entomologists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture as the rough
headed corn stalk beetle. appeared in
many parts of the South. Many corn
growers of Texas, Georgia, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Alabama reported in
jury TO their corn by this beetle, the
damage being quite general and Sc
we're wherever the soil was such as
to sustain the grub.
The beetle varies somewhat in size,
according to the entomologiSts, but
usually measures about one-half inch
in length. II is a stout, hard-shelled
creature, jet black III color. 1t is
thought to be distributed only in the
Southern states. The damage is done
wholly by the adult and consists in
boring into the outer wall of the stalks
Immediately below the surface of the
ground, making a large ragged open

point, or "hcart," upon which the bee

Indians and Gold.

The California Indians, familiar with
the yellow wealth of the alluvial
gravels long before the first white
man appeared on the scene, had a ira
dition to the effect that somewhere in
the Sierra Nevada range was a noun
tain of gold-an entire peak of the
solid metal, thinly covered with a lay
er of earth, moss and heritage.
Search for the Mother Lode began
as early as 1850. Enterprising miners
who had no belief in the story of the
golden mountain nevertheless realized
that the yellow output of the stream
gravels must come from somewhere,
and in looking for its source they ex-
plored the Sierra in all directions. The
result was the discovery of many valu-
able quartz mines and, in particular,
of a series of rich veins of gold-bear-
ing quartz extending through Eldorado,
Calaveras and three other counties.

A summary of control measures
recommended by the e~ntomologists
and described in detail in the bulletin
MAJ be outlined as follows:
1. Eliminate all old pastures or
waste land, especially low, moist areas,
and drain such lands thoroughly.
>. Pasture hogs in waste or pasture
lands that cannot be conveniently
drained and cropped.
3. Plant corn early, say, about April
90, for tidewater Virginia. and earlier
for more southerly localities.
4. Give liberal applications of barn.
yard manure or commercial fertilizers
whenever practicable.
5. Employ children or cheap labor
to collect and destroy the beetles wher
a field first shows injury.
6. Do not allow corn to follow sod il
possible to avoid it.
7. Plow sod land in late summer an(
early fall in order to destroy the pupat
of the rough-headcd cornstalk beetle.

By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

We must give the Pacific coast credit
for much of the virility of modern
home architecture in America. Ideas
originally carried out in light summer
cottage construction out West have
been adapted by architects who have
specialized along this line to the sew
eral needs of our Northern and Eastern
climates; and a modified type of
bungalow has resulted, that is 100 per
cent o. K.
1t is really remarkable, what a diff
ference there is between amateur
planned houses and those designed by
experienced architects. l do not deny
that a good many very artistic homes
have been planned by the owner, or
more likely by his wife, but these are
rare. The great majority show a pa
thetic lack of knowledge of the funda'
mentals of building construction and
of the principles of art.
Not long ago, n of u prominen1
architects made some suggestions fol-

contractor who wants to work out his
own home building ideas. They are
worth repeating, and l will give the
gist of them in a few words.
Few persons, save architects, are
aware that the ~rectangle most agree
able to the human eye is the r~ectangle
whose sides are in proportion n to
another, as three is to five. All man.
kind, in designing shapes, unconscious
ly choose the three to five proportion
In preference to the two to five or the
one to five, or five to five. Did you
EVER see "a square writing tablet, or
banner? Come to think about it they
are all three to five. There are defl-
mite rules of harmony in shapes just
as we'll as in tones.
But the architect does not follow
rules when he composes a plan. The
musician has the tune in his head; y
the architect has the design in his
eve. Both are written records, the
one with notes, the other with blue
prints.
Thus, the architect gives the roof
the right pitch, places the windows and
doors in the right positions, makes
the trimmings the right width, deter
mines the kind of gables and the
height of the walls, takes into accoun1
the position of the house on the lo'
and the appearance of neighborin!
buildings.
Closely related to the sense of pro
portion is the sense of stability ant
unity. However secure a porch ma.
be, it does. not appear well unless i
has visible support. I know of house

work OF an architect Is not a group or
walls, it is a unified structure with
uniform design.
The manner in which he attempts to
ornament a house betrays the amateur
quicker than anything else. No orna-
ment should be put on which does
not have a meaning. Ornaments are
mostly sensibly employed when their
effect is to strengthen the proportion,
unity or stability, impressions which
every well-designed structure must
have. For instance, big pillars,
though mechanically unnecessary, as
sure the onlooker that the weight
above is supported.
Cornices and copings of uniform
pattern may be used to make all parts
of the building appear as parts of the
whole. Wall bands frequently divide
unproportiOnate walls into proportion
ate sections. Experts occasionally
carry out imitation schemes, repre-
sensations, for instance, of flowing wa
ter plants, trees and men. But such
embellishments would look ridiculous
on any simple building which our lay
man friends might design. In any
case, not more than one kind would be
used. Never add an ornament be-
cause shat place looks bare"
Utility is less a matter of art. But
the architects experience enables him
to provide for the maximum of conve-
nience with a minimum of expense.

services of an architect. He is then
an architect himself.
Surely it is worth while to design
every detail correctly. The appear
ance of the buildings in which are our
homes or our places of business is a
most important detail in the environ
ment which makes our lives happy or
unhappy. The pocketbook has a word
to say, also. When time IN to sell
or to rent, how the building looks, not
how much it costs, determines its value
on the market. On building, as in all
else, be sure you are right, then go
ahead.
