and liberal use Of barnyard manure
or other fertilizer is recommended, and
q vigorous stand may be produced
sometimes In spite Of the wireworms
by such treatment. Wherever practi-
cable the interposing of crops not Sc
verely attacked by wireworms, such as
field peas or buckwheat, between sod
and corn tends materially to reduce
the number Of wireworns In the soil.
Some kinds Of wireworms live only
in badly drained land. land for this rea-
son thorough tile draining of such
fields is often very beneficial, especial
~ where the general condition Of the
fields is improved by proper applica-
lions Of lime and thorough cultiva
ton.
In the Northwest and northern mid.
die West the dry-land wireworm, pic
tured above, is very Injurious. The
following methods have been found to 4
be valuable in the elimination Of this
pest. ~ Disk or drag harrow the
summer fallow as early as possible in
the spring in order to produce q dust
mulch and thereby conserve the accu-
INFLATED winter moisture; ,(2) con-
tinue the disking as often as is neces-
sary in order to maintain the mulch
and keep down the weeds; (3) pillow
the summer fallow in July or early in
August and Immediately drag; az
plow the stubble as soon as the crop
is removed.
Avoid Fresh Sod
Do not plant grain, and especially
corn on freshly broken sod land IL
this can be avoided. To do SO exposes
it to- almost certain injury by wire
worms, cutworms, and white grubs.
Plant such land first to soy beans,
cowpeass clover, alfalfa, or buckwheat,
afterwards rotating to grain. The
growing Of any one kind Of grain on
the same land continuously is sure to
result In damage from insect pests,
and is bad agricultural practice. Adopt
q good system Of crop rotation suit
able to your particular region. If you
DO not know the most approved sys-
TEN Of rotation for your locality, ask
your county agricultural agent or state
experiment station for advice.

is YOUR LIFE A HARD ONE

Do you people at home feel at
times that this war has made your
life pretty hard? Read what an
American correspondent writes
about one of our boys who had been
doing his duty:
"In a little field hospital west of
Moltdidier l stopped at the bedsids
of an American boy, one of those vic
tins of the German mustard gas,
with which the Huns are making all
their present gains. His eyes were.
matted with yellow pus and he could
not see. His face was terribly
burned. His lips were swollen ana
purple. His whole body had been
turned the color of an Indian, and
portions of j. looked like melted
flesh, as though it had been liquefed.
"The fighting had been renewed ali
along the American lines, and Ger
man wounded had begun coming into
our hospitals. l said to this soldier:
"The boys are getting their re-
venge for you fellows tonight He
smiled through his scared lips, and
in a voice so faint that I had to bend
down to listen, he gasped, God! 1
wish I was back there with 'em!
Do you still think your life hard
one?

dreds of thousands of others doing
their duty. Buy War Savings Stamps
to the limit of your capacity.

LET ALL WHO CAN Do MORE

The best we can do, it will not be
enough to meet all needs. We can
not make up the submarine losses,
nor replace the spent reserves.
Doing our utmost, not everyone in
this country can keep within the al
lowance Masses in crowded cities,
with no proper kitchen outfits, de-
pend on bakery bread and ready
cooked food. Their habits are con-
trolled by their circumstances.
Those who can must do more to
maintain the margin.
Some wheat in any case must be
brought from Argentine, the less the
better. For every voyage 20 the Ar
gentine is the same as taking two
vessels from the short Atlantic ferry.
Every vessel .aken from that traffic
keeps regiment from the front.
Going without wheat adds directly
to our forces in battle. Going with
out wheat loosens the shipping ten
sion which limits our armed strength
A splendid response comes Instant
ly. Hundred of hotels have pledged
themelves to go without wheat until
harvest. Households, communities,
counties all over the land have cut
down wheat to the limit or given it
up altogether.
But the best we can do is too lit
tie. Let all keep within the allow
ance; let all who can, do more.

WHEAT is THE TEST

Germa1y's war of starvation is a
challenge most of all 20 America.
Against Germany's lust for domin-
ion, Americas purpose is to estab-
lish the society of nations. Against
destruction, Americas aim healing.
Against mastery, Americas ideal is
ervice.
We cannot surpass the steadfast-
ness of Britain, the courage of Italy,
the exaltation of France.
We cannot excel the Allie in hero
ism, in. endurance, in fortitude. Our
force in battle though it may be de-
cisive-will not be as great as theirs.
We can hope to contribute most to
the common cause from our larger
resources. To relieve desperate pri-
walton, America can supply food.
Giving up wheat is a little thing
compared to their death struggle
in which our soldiers are splendidly
sharing.
A little thing-yet we can do it
with greatness of spirit. Supporting
our armies and adding whole-hearted
service to humanity, it is in Ameri-
cas- power to defeat the passion Of
conquest.
Now is the hour of our testing.
Wheat is the Test.
