The fall of Napoleon entailed the re-
making Of the map Of Europe. The
congress opened on November I, 1914.
England. Austria, Russia and Prussia
from the very first insisted upon regu.

and excluded France from the DELHI

prevented this Ostracism and succeed

the secondary states.

Shortage Of Harvest Labor.

OF all the agricultural labor 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.. f. r.
Frizeli, the department of agriculture's
farm help specialist for Kansas, re-
Gently wrote: "After full and COM
plete investigation, / am free to say
that the farmers of Kansas will not
be able TO save the wheat crop unless
they can 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 efforts 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. If they care at all for

To Aid Man Power,

Prof. G. I. Christie, assistant to Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Houston, recent
ly pointed out some striking illustra-
lions Of how the available labor sup
ply could be used to much better ad.
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-
cOmpllshing a 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 n was thrown away.
Professor Christie points out that dur
ing the rest of the season farmers a
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,

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
a loss of time, labor, material, and
trnnsportatiOn-the 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 Psychologists
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.

IMPRESSED BY MoToRTRUCK
Farmers Could Not Help but See Value
Of Machines as They Carried
Immense Loads.

Farmers in nearly all parts Of the
United States have had impressed
upon them the value Of the motor
truck for farm work. The railroad
congestion and the shortage of rail.
road equipment made it particularly
necessary during the past five or six
months to send new trucks overland
from the factories and to handle large
quantities Of freight, such as Or
dinarily would have been handled
by the railroads, by using motortrucks.
These conditions took the trucks
out into the farming districts In great
er numbers and with greater fire.
quency than ever before. Farmers
saw them hauling immense loads on
the paved roads and on the ordinary
roads Of the country and could not
help being impressed.

parts being purchased at a cost Of
60 cents. Instead of having the door

Importance Of Good Roads.

Roads rule the wOrld-not kings nor
congresses, o courts nor cOnstables,
not ships nor soldiers. The road is
the only royal line In a democracy, the
only legislature that changes,
the only court that never sleeps, the
only army that never quits. the first
aid to the redemption Of any nation,
the exodus from s~tagnation in any So
the call from savagery In any
tribe. the high priest Of prosperity,
without beginnings Of days or end Of
life. The road is umpire In every war.
and when after the war the new map
Is made, the road simply pushes on its
great campaign of help. hope, brother
hood, efficiency and peace.

more formal apartments Of special in
terest to men. the stronger, richer col
ors-dark reds, green's, blues and
b~rOwns-have been used.
The amount Of light and the size
Of the OOm are important factors In
determining the color Of the wall and
woodwork. The greater the light. the
darker the color that may be used
though very dark colors should always
be avoided. Warm colors, including
cream, buff, tan. golden brown, reddish
brown, ETC., are best for rooms where
the light is from the north, while
rooms with a %southerly exposure are
best In the cooler colOrs-grayish,
blush and greenish tones, cool tans,
neutral browns, etc.
Tinted Walls for Small Rooms.
Good taste, as well as reason, sug-
gests that for the smaller rooms so
common In u modern building, plain,
llght-tinted walls are best. The large
figured wall papers are wrong for such
a house. A room with low ceiling
should have the wall color to the cor
ner. Rooms with high ceilings may
have the drop ceiling"

on the contrary, has quite a contrary
effect. The harshest voices have,
among men, the cider drinkers, and,
among women, the pear eaters. There
are, On the other hand, some spices
that affect the voice favOrably. Thus,
sweet oranges are favorable, and I'M
fermented lemon Juice mixed with wa
ter Is excellent for the voice. What,
however, should be avoided In all
foods Is pepper and. for the same rea-
son. also all excessively spiced sauces
and Irritating pastries. Sugar often
causes inflammable irritation Of the
palate and a tagging Of the vocal
cords. Sugared dishes, creams, com.
potes, etc, must as much as possible
be avoided by persons who have. to
use often and much their organs Of
speech.

PLANT FOOD DISEASES

, You know something Of how
the United States department Of
Agriculture protects Americas
: 1O0.OOO,0OO consumers against
! diseased animal products.
I 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 individ-
: ual-in his personal welfare, in
: seeing that he has good, whole
some foods.
But 1t Is also interested In the
; population en- masse-ln seeing
; that everybody gets ENOUGH
food.
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
scrimping.
Those are the two reasons
why the United States depart
ment Of agriculture devotes a
good deal Of attention to pro-
tecting vegetable foods against
diseases found at markets.

In determining cOlors in our modern
houses, the various parts of which are
so generally thrown together by the
use Of large openings, harmony or
ven uniformity of color Is particular
ly important. Not only must the color
of the individual room be good, but 1t
must be in harmony with the hall and
other rooms into which 1t opens. 1t Is
necessary, then, to plan a color scheme
for the whole house in which violent
contrasts will be avoided and restful
harmonies encouraged. 1t is possible
under most building conditions to have
complete harmony for the house, to-
gether with variety in the rooms. The
house builder should use a dominant
color, and then modify this by giving
different tones to the different rooms.
Finish Of Woodwork important.
