A pretty way to serve cucumber is
to peel 1t, then pare in rounds as one
does an apple, keeping the pieces as
long as possible. Wind in rose shape,
place a spoonful of mayonnaise in the
center and If placed on lettuce or a
slice of tomato will prove both pleas
ing to the eye and the palate.
Chopped cucumber with onion used
as a filling for tomato cups, the filling
mixed with a good boiled dressing or
any kind of oil dressing, is another
good combination we'll liked.
Green Pepper With cheese.-Cut
green peppers in halves, removing the
seeds and white pulp. then fill with
highly seasoned cream cheese which
has been softened with cream; a few
chopped chives may be added. The
peppers are set away to chill, and
when ready to serve cut them in slices.
The slice will have q ring of the pretty
green or red of the pepper around the
cheese.
Tomato and Pineapple Salad.-Peel
shapely small tomatoes and cut in
elghths, keeping it together at the
blossom end. Open out like a flower
and fill the center with chopped pine
apple and celery and dot with a
spoonful of yellow mayonnaise just be-
fore serving. Slices of radish with
slices of onion of the same size in
overlapping slices make a pretty gar
nish for a plain lettuce or head let
tuce salad.
Head Lettuce With Peanuts.-Take
a half cupful Of nice fresh peanuts,
roll with the rolling pin until crushed
like crumbs. Sprinkle these over head
lettuce that has been dressed with a
highly seasoned French dressing with
a tablespoonful of onion added to 1t.

through long ages. Even after the In

first, but It is nevertheless strictly
true, for the cinch bug is pro-German
In our present war, the Hesslan fly is
still Hessian, and the army worm is
an ally of the German army. Our
duty of helping to feed our fighting
friends being paramount, that of pro-
tecting and defending the food sup
plies we produce is as essential as
their production.
AS a matter of fact, mourning the ex-
pense of producing crops and then let
ting them fall a prey to our insect en-
emles is worse than not producing
them at all, and the official entomolo-
gists of the different states are being
modified for special service in crop
protection. These men are but a hand
full, however-not enough for an eff
Client patrol-and so they are calling
upon the people for such assistance
as they car easily give by keeping
watch for the ommon enemy and re-
porting the first traces of his appear
en- serious injury.
What these field insects are capable
of in the way of crop destruction is
fairly well known, and what the farm
er may do for the protection of his
crops can best be intrusted to the
hands of various state e~ntomologists,
whose business it is by bomb, gas and
foe.
Consider two fields of corn, both ly-
ing next to heavily infested fields of
wheat. One is protected by a circle
Of oil about it's borders. The other
Is unprotected. The unprotected corn
Is entered by the insects without hind
rance as the ripening of the wheat
deprives them of food, and a large part
of the corn is destroyed, as shown by
the part Of the field laid bare next to
the wheat. In the other field not q hill
of corn is hurt. The road oil poured
upon the ground in a line between
1t and the infested wheat catches the
bugs which seek to pass.
Millions Lost In Small Area.
By a somewhat general use of such
methods and similar materials In
twenty-five southwestern counties of
a middle Western state where, during
O cinch bug uprising last summer,
more than 1900 miles Of barrier were
laid down between corn and infested
wheat, $1,000,000 worth Of corn was
saved from destruction at a total cost
to the owners of less than $4,000 and
Of ONE $4,000 to the state. On the
other hand, wheat, oats and corr
worth at least $13 600 more were
lost during the same period for lack Of
sufficiently general and thoroughgoing
action.
Owing to a consequent scarcity of
feed many farmers were unable to
keep up their stock, and in four in
tested counties, selected as a sample
district for study in comparison with
another group of counties not infested,
the number of dairy cows fell off In
four years IA per cent; beef cattle,
21.5 per cent; hogs, 10 per cent and
horses, 81 per cent. The total sum
of this reduction in numbers of the
live stock Of the four sample counties,
due solely to the presence Of the cinch
bug. was 81, ,31S. Trade, banking.

Director Titlow Officially Re-
ports Last Meeting.

toy Y. ~ ltloWj
The fruit growers Of West Vir.
ginia held an enthusiastic meeting
at West Virginia University during
Farmers Week" The producers of
peaches and apples were there for a
purpose and soon made known their
business, which was to go over thor.
oughly the new style apple packing
season and grading law They had
just been through their first packing
season under the new law and had
without exception been firmly con-
WINGED that the spirit and purposes
OF the law We're good and would re-
suit in untold benefit to the, fruit in
dustry Of the state, If properly adj
ministered A few passages of the
law had confused some or the grow
ers; So after an earnest discussion of
these points among themselves and
with Mr.. Summers, representing the
Department of Agriculture, simple
explanation Of the true intent of the
law was made
Section 9 of the law which reads
tile facing of the package shall
fairly represent the contents as to
size, color and quality" was held to
mean that the face should be uni
form and represent an average of the
condition of the fruit in the barrel,
except that apples slightly better
than average color might be used in
the face. Section 4 which reads "a
tolerance of per centum for size
shall be permitted" was interpre-
ted to mean that not more than 5
per cent Of the apples should fall be-
low the size guaranteed on the out
side OF the package.
Attention was directed to the fact
that the "Unclassifed' grade and
Gull" grade We're separate and dis.
tinct and that the buyers conception
Of the quality Of the former had been
unduly lowered by an unfortunate
association of the two in a single
paragraph OF the law. 1t was pointed
cut that the "Unclassified" Grade
might be very good quality of "or-
chard run" fruit or might be some
what inferior to the STANDARD b.
grade. Because of this variability thi
grade should always be bought or
sold by sample or under an agree
ment between buyer and seller.
The growers were SO DESTROYS of
having the law thoroughly admins
tered that they provided for a stand
ing committee and charged it to
make known to the state authorities
the attitude Of the growers and to
aid in every way the enforcement of
tho law.
In spite of full program and
their consideration Of the packing
law, the society found time to pass
resolutions approving the plan to es-
tablish uniform grades for fruit in
interstate commerce and to place tn
under Federal control.
It also authorized its treasurer to in
vest the life membership fund Of the
society lover 100000 in thrift
stamps
The new officers elected were: c..

ris, Vice President; G. w. Boyer,
