POTATOES OR
POTATO BUGS
Lead ArSenate Instead of Paris
Green.

1t will be remembered that the
potato beetles were extremely plenti-
full last year and all indications
point to even more of them this
year. Paris green, our old standby,
that always comes to our rescue
when the bugs are taking the spuds,
was very scarce year ago and it is
not getting any more plentiful; in
fact it is safe to say that it will
be very hard to get this year, so it
is well that we taken an inventory
of our stock. Have we got enough
OF the poison to protect our po-
tatoes? 1t is not necessary that we
lose our crop Of potatoes because
paris green is not available for in
this day of substitutes, we have a
very good substitute for paris green.
The use of lead arsenate is becom-
ing more and more prevalent from
year to year and it may in time re-
place paris green almost exclusive
ly. Three to five pounds of lead
arsenate .per SO gallons of water
makes an ideal spray to use against
the potato beetle, and at the present
is available in much larger guam
titles than paris green.

POISONED BAIT
FOR HOPPERS
Only Successful Remedy at
Present.

If you will look over the alfalfa
fields at the present time you will
observe very young grasshoppers
that are just Matching from the
eggs that were laid last fall. II the
grasshoppers did any damage to
your fields last year 1t would be
|well for you to start in time this
year. For this reason the following
control measures are outlined:
Grasshopper control measures
may be grouped into two divisions:
/. Those which deal with the
destruction of the eggs.
2. Those employed in destroying
hoppers both young and old.
The first of these is the most inn
portant but 1t can only be done In
the fall after the hoppers have laid
their eggs, and consists In cultiva-
tion of the ground in which the eggs
are laid In order to destroy the
eggs.
If we are to undertake any con-
troll measures this summer we must
use the second method, /. e., that OF
destroying hoppers by the use of
poisoned bait. The following Is the
formula:
Bran, alfalfa meal. or shorts.
25 pounds.
White arsenic or paris green, l
pound.
Cheap molasses (black strap
quarts.
Water, gallons.
The dry bran and poison are
placed in large tub or box and
mixed with stick or other imple-
ment. The bare hands and arms
must not come in contact with the
poison more than is necessary. The
molasses should be dissolved in
three gallons Of water, to which Is
added the lemon or orange juice.
This mixtures is then poured slowly
over the poisoned bran and the en-
tire mixture should be stirred until
every particle of bran is moistened.
More water should then be added IL
the mixture is not the right SUBJ
sistance. The bait may be prepared
in part the day before 1t is to be
used but the poisoned bran should
not be moistened more than f2
hours before application. This bait
should be applied late in the even
ing. If the hoppers are plentiful
this should be used on about s or 6
acres but If they are only moderate
ly numerous this amount will cover
about 25 acres.

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIERS
WARD HAMPTON WRITES FROM FORT

Guard House,

Dear Folks:
Please don't be shocked at the
heading of this, as | am on guard
and we still live in the guard
house. There are 81 of us. "a
guards and 3 buglers. | 60 on
guard tonight for the first time
as | just came up here last even

They drilled me a little this
morning in the use of a gun and
| will walk past tonight from IL
to 6 a. m, and then am off for
6 hours, IL or 18 hours, 80 hours.
The difference in time is caused
by changing til e men around
from day to night shift, most
generally we are off l8 hours but
once in about ten days we get
only 6 hours off and the 30 hours
the same.
] have one rifle, bayonet, belt
and plenty of ammunition. There
are no prisoners in the guard
house now. 1t is divided into
two big looms, the first is our
squad room and the other is the
Bull Pen," where the cages are
and it is some Bull Pen, alright.
There is one big steel cage with
about six foot passage all around
it. One end of the cage is parti-
toned into five or six cells where
those who are in solitary confin-
ment are kept. The ordinary Of
tenders are kept in the big pen.
When there is a bunch of prison
ers in here a guard walks around
the pen all the time, so you see
they do not intend for anyone to
get away.

other day. Hav'nt relieved them
yet but will send them soon.
Oh yes, | received the box of
candy yesterday and it sure tast-
ed good.

This gap is filled in by vNIours de

as a cat. No matter what we paid for
our suits. they had to be discarded in
short shift because the surface rubbed
down to the foundation at the merest

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RIrrENHOUsE
Make the Most of Rice.


I'VE may not have much wheat but
at least we can get rice-thank God
for rice"
that that a good many women in the
land read few weeks ago of the rice
riots in Japan that led to the burning
Of some thirty houses and dear knows
what other damage. And it had al
ways seemed SO easy for a Jap or a
Chfnaman to solve his food problem.
Rice has such a wonderful way of ex-
banding when it is cooked that one
might keep household satisfied for q
month with a mere pittance of rice
II one could only induce them to be-
lieve that rice was Interesting enough
The trouble is we have been spoiled.
We've got the incurable taste for
wheat. We are bloodthirsty for we
have been fed on meat and we want
eggs and milk and other things that
the people on the other side of the
world regard as luxuries or medicines
That is how we reflected and then we
bethought ourselves that rice was a
pretty good sort of thing after all. If
people would have riots for the lack
OF it. Then We went downstairs to the
Kitchen and either told cook to have
rice pudding or curried rice for din
ner or put on our apron and went to
work at some such dish ourselves.
Anu now lot little preaching on
the subject of rice. 1t is a virtue to
use it over here because it is one of
the substitutes and it is always a yir-
tue to eat substitutes. And tho it has
to be transported to US II we live any
where but far south, still it is con-
yeniently transported. 1t takes I'D lit
tie room and it is non-perishabIe.
Plain boiled rice, or rather rice
, boiled with little salt is one of the
most delicious of cool weather break
last cereals. And it is far cheaper
than cereals that come to you in a.
pasteboard box with trade names. For
this purpose you should get if you can
unpublished rice. 1t is said to be more
wholesome and anyway it has a richer
flavor. Have the water bubbling in
the sauce pa and stir the rice in very
slowly. that is SO that the water does
not stop boiling during the operation
and then have the water go on boiling
around the rice all the time IL it
stops boiling the rice drops to the bot
tom of the saucepan and is apt to
stick and either grow soggy or burn.
In about fifteen minutes the rice will
probably be cooked. Test it by taking
4 few grains out on q fork and tasting
il. 1t should be thoreiy done thru and
~. When it is done pour thru a
wire strainer but do not throw away
the water in which it has been boiled,
for it is full of starchy nourishment
