prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Maximum yields Of grain must be
produced not only during the present
year but for several years to come.
The present international situation
renders this imperative. Insects are
responsible for great reductions in
grain crops annually, but such losses
are largely preventable. The injuries
caused by insects often remain unpo-
ticed except where their work is very
conspicuous.
A great portion Of the annual loss
to the grain crop due to insect injuries
can be avoided by vigilance and Wig
orous action on the part Of the grain
growers. Insect outbreaks frequently
originate within limited areas, and
when this is the case 1t is often pos
sible to stamp them out before any
great damage has occurred. In other
instances the outbreaks are Of general
origin, and then community action
Is essential in order that the inroads
Of the pest may be overcome. The
most serious insect enemies of cereal
crops. such as the Hessian fly, the
chinch bug, and white grubs, belong to
the latter class. In the case Of these
and other widely distributed foes of
the grains no means Of stopping their
ravages will be fully successful until
community action can be secured In
adopting the methods of combat at
present advocated by entomologfsts.
Fall blowing, doubtless, Is the most
universally beneficial practice for the
control Of the insect pests Of cereal
crops, and this measure should be
adopted except where It Is rendered
impossible by local agricultural condi-
lions. Corn never should be planted
on freshly broken sod land, because
this practice is almost certain to ex-
pose the crop to the ravages of cut
worms, wireworms, and white grubs.
Crops belonging to the bean family,
such as cowpeas, soy beans, clover, al
falfa, ETC., may be interposed safely
between sod and grain and especially
between sod and corn, In order that
injury to the grain crops by these
pests may be avoided.
Keep in close touch with your coun.
ty agent, state experiment station, OF
federal chronological station. Report
all serious insect outbreaks to these
officials and seek their expert advice
In all cases Of doubt regarding treat.
ment for, or identity of, insect pests.
Have supply Of insecticides and
practical spraying outfit on hand at
all times. Watch your crops.

It discusses at length the various

Of seed supply.
American farmers plant upwards of
100000 tons Of seed per year, most
Of this being the great staples, wheat,
corn, cotton, etc., and practically all
OF these seed supplies are produced
at home. Nevertheless we were ac-
customed before the war to import
large quantities of seeds from Europe.
For some vegetables, sugar beets, and
other crops, we depended almost en-
tirely upon the European seed sup
ply. Seed importations from Europe
were curtailed or entirely cut Of By

HE FEEDS OUR ARMIES

Any mother who worries because
her boy in the United States army is
not getting good food to eat, and
plenty of it, is nourishing a delusion.
While his rations may not suit his
nastidious taste as well as the pies
that mother used to make, 1t Is better
suited to preserve his health and
physical welfare. The life Of the army
mas taught him to depend on the essen
tials, and he is content If his food is
wholesome, well cooked, properly d.
yersified, on time, and in plenty. The
subsistence bureau Of the quarter
masters department, under the super
vision of Col. William r. Groves, at
