ARMY AND NAVY KaTlu@ss,.
Food Uncle Sam Gives His Fighters
on Land and Sea.

Uncle Sam has written generous
menus for his fighting men on land
and on sea and provides approx;
mateIy % cents day to buy fo"d
for each ope Of his soldiers, ana u
like allowance is made for his s;lI-
ors. To the housckeGpef this suh:
seems entirely inadequate, but ii
must be remembered that Uncle
Sam buys his supplies in ton lots
and not by the pound.
There is no gucsswOrk in either
the army or the navy when it comes
to determining just how much food
a man shall be given. All this has
been figured out and the person
charged with the responsibility Of
supplying the food merely follows
certain tables.
The fixed allowance or portion of
food furnished a soldier or sailor
each day is called a ration. 1t con-
sists of specified components or sub
stitutive articles. There may be an
overissue of any ration component,
provided there is an underlssue of
equal value Of other components,
but the total cost of a mans rations
at the end of month must not ez-
ceed the average of the daily allow
ances for that period.
In garrison or permanent camp, a
soldiers allowance of food consists
of the following components ant
quantities or specified quantities of
substitutes: Beef, 20 ounces; flour,
1S ounces; baking powder, .OS
ounce; beans, "a ounces; potatoes,
20 ounces; prunes, 1.2s ounces; cof-
fee, 1.12 ounces; sugar, 3.2 ounces !;
evaporated milk, IS ounce; vinegar,
.16 gill; salt, ga ounce; black pep
per, .O4 ounce; cinnamon, OLA
ounce; lard, "a ounce; butter, .5
ounce; sirup, .32 gill, and favoring
extract, OLA ounce.
A number of substitute articles
are provided for each of the ration
components. For instance, instead
of the 20 ounces of beef, like quan-
tity of mutton may be supplied or
10 ounces of bacon, 16 of canned
meat, IA of dried fish or other meat
substitutes. Instead of the bean
component, 1.16 ounces of either
rice or hominy may be supplied.
Prescribed quantities. of dried ap-
Piles or peaches or of jam and pre-
serves may be substituted for the
prunes. The reserve ration is less

Preventing Red Spider In Cotton.

that along the edges Of the field. along

Life Everlasting. known by many
as rabbit tobacco, is a common weed
| in the sandy sections of the South

into corn fields in the spring. causing
bud-worm or cared corn. 1t causes
much replanting. Also, the weed har-
bors. on its roots, the cotton-root lice.
Here they are diligently supported by
ants which have made burrows from
their nests to the roots OF the plant.
from where they transfer to the young
cotton. II the winter food OF the
louse Is absent the ant loses interest
and this fact is taken advantage OK.
On one farm the damage was reduced
from 35 per cent to almost nothing by
winter cover crops and shallow cult
vation when the cotton was young.
The cover crop consists Of rye and
vetch. It Is more than cover crop.
It is a cleansing crop because it keeps
down the weeds. Fall plowing prior
to planting the cover crop ruins tho
home of the cotton-boll worm. This
insect is the same as the corn-ear
worm and spends the winter about
two and one-half inches below the sur
face of the soil. provided the farmer
leaves them there.
The chinchbug stays under weeds,
dead grass, rubbish, stones, around
old stumps and other unkept places.
The work Of combating these pests
should begin in the fall with cover
crops and carried through the winter
as a general cleaning-up campaign.
This Is not only the most effective
way to fight field.crop insects but 1t

Winter presents opportunities on
the farm which do not offer them
selves at any other season OF the year
SAYS A, F. Conrad, chief o. the d!vl'
sion OF entomology OF Clemson Col
lege. 1t certainly is mistake TO re-
gard winter the OFF or idle season "i
the year.
In conversation with farmer NV
ing in the cotton boll-weevil territory
the writer was proudly told that this
farmer had destroyed all his cotton
stalks early in the fall. He was con
yinced that he had done the right
thing and was resting easy and In
tended to rest until planting time
That this farmer was able to get MS
crop picked in time to destroy MS
stalks early was excellent, but II
was only the beginning of the cam
paign. His neighbors had not been
able TO destroy the stalks early be-
cause it had not been possible to
gather the crop in time. On many
farms this step is neglected or omis'
ted because its Importance is not
realized.
Fioht the Boil Weevil During Winter.
On all the farms where cotton
stalks are destroyed early, as we'll as
On all the farms where this is not
done winter will hold great oppor'
tunity before the farmers for heavy
blow against the boil weevil Many
over-wintering weevils can be found
IA trash and rubbish ia the fields.
They are at the mercy Of the farmers
IL they only will refuse to believe that
winter is the off season. Many OF the
weevils can be destroyed by collecting
the trash and then composing or
burning it, Flowing and subsequent
narrowing the land Is still more effec'

The work does not end here. Null
atudes of weevils leave the cotton
fields and winter along hedges. fences,
turnrows, old buildings and in other
waste places. Can the farmer regard
winter the season of rest when these
winter hotels are on his farm shelter
ing hordes OF weevils? Old sorghum
stubble, which traps all kind OF rub
hssh blown about by the wind, offers
nrotection to the pest. The Bureau

tration where the first infestation by
veeyils in one of their experimental
