twisted or burly fiber, and those with
a large center stem are of poor quail
ity and should be separated from the
good brush. Grading can be done con-
venIently either when the brush is
being taken from the field, after 1t
is thrashed, or just before the baling
Is done.
The practice of baling the crop with
out grading is common source of loss
to the grower Where good and poor
brush are mixed, the buyer will esti-
mate the percentage of poor brush
little higher than appearances Indicate.
in order to be on the safe side. The
price paid under such circumstances
usually is less than the total price the
good brush and poor brush would have
brought If baled separately. In most
cases the grower will be well repaid
for the time and labor devoted to grad
Ing his brush and baling each grade
separately.
The brush should be taken up in
small armfuls and butted against a
board, so that all the butts are even.
1t should then be placed in the baler.
with the butts set firmly against the
end of the baler. The butts of one
armful are placed against one end and
those of the next armfui against the
other end, continuing the process un-
til the baIer is full. The bale is then
pressed into shape and the wires fas-
tened. IF the bale Is pressed tightly
and the wires properly adjusted. a
good square bale will result.
Baling should not be done until the
brush is dry enough to eliminate all
danger of Its molding In the bale. If
baling Is delayed Indefinitely after the
brush Is dry, 1t should be bulked and
protected from the light or 1t will
bleach.
The bales should he stored in dry,
dark place for protection from the
weather and sunlight; otherwise the
outside will be weather stained or
bleached by the sun, and they will not
bring as high a price as II kept In good
condition.
The brush can be marketed to best
advantage in carload lots. because of
the difference between freight rates in
full cars and smaller lots. The brush
runs about G bales to the ton and
from 10 to 12 tons to the carload. Com
munity cooperation Is needed to obtain
the greatest success In growing broom
corn. This will make possible mar
keting the crop in carload lots. with a
consequent saving in freight. The
manufacturers are most likely to send
an experienced buyer into such COM
munity. and It Is possible for commu-
nifty to grow uniform grade of brush
which will be recognized and sought
ut premium by the manufacturer. :

Braid Much Used.

Braid is going to be very much used
this autumn. There Is n real wartime
reason for this, as braid is something
that covereth multitude of sins and
makes quick work of giving smart
and neat finish to all sorts of tailored
frocks, coats and suits. There is
kind of double. folded braid that may
easily be applied to the edge of
sleeves, tunics or skirts, giving them
n complete finish with the minimum of
work The home dressmaker will do
well to make use of this new vogue
for braid. OF course. braid is not al
ways used as II labor-savlng device.
for in many of the new and smart
suits very elaborate system of braid
trimming is carried out, often more
than one sort OF braid beirg combined

The American Red Cross intends
that there shall be no lack of enter

and it is particularly desired therefore
that the call for hospital hut workers
be complied with according to sched-

service will be expected to remain
abroad for ut least n year.
1t is desirable that applicants be
able TO pay their own expenses. but in

ERADICATION OF
CUTWORM MOTHS
Late Fall and Winter Flowing of
Grass Lands Will Destroy
Their Winter Homes.
HOGS DEvouR MANY INSECTS
Injury Usually Consists In Cutting OF
Plants Just Below Surface and
Occurs In Spring - Eggs Are
Hatched During Autumn.

Urom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
If land that has been In grass for a
considerable time and is likely to con-
tain cutworps is to be planted to corn
the following spring, 1t should be
plowed in midsummer or early fall,
about the time the moths eggs are
laid or, better, before the eggs are
laid. for then vegetation which is suit
able for the moths to lay their eggs
upon Is removed. The earlier the pre-
cedlng year grasslands to be planted
to corn are plowed, the less will be
the probability that the cutworm
moths will have laid their eggs there
on, and the less, consequently, will be
the danger of injury by cutworms the
following year.
Late fall and winter plowing of
grasslands. although not as effective
as early plowing. will destroy many of
the hibernating cutworms, as well as
such other important corn pests as
white grubs. and should be practiced
when earlier piowing is impracticable.
Insects Are pevoured.
PasturIng hogs upon land supposed
to harbOr cutworms is beneficial
practice. as these animals root up and
devour insects of many kinds, includ-
ing cutworms. in large numbers. Farm
poultry, allowed to follow the plow,
is of great value.
When cutworms are found to be
abundant on corn land. the use of the
poisoned bait is recommended. In
fields known to be infested, the dls-
tributlon of this bait should be begun
as soon as the corn appears above the
ground, so that the cutworms may be
eliminated as quickly as possible and
the injured hills replanted promptly.
During the warmer spring months cut
worms do most of their feeding at
night and burrow into the soil to the
depth of an inch or two during the
day. so that the bait usually Will be
more effective If applied during the
late afternoon and early evening
hours.
Frequently cutworms migrate to cul-
tivated fields from adjoining grass
land, and in such cases the crops can
be protected by running n narrow
band of the poisoned bait around the
edge of the field or along the side
nearest the source OF infestatiOn.
Cutworm injury. which usually con-
sists in the cutting OFF Of the plants
at or little below the surface Of the
ground, almost invariably occurs in
the spring, beginning as soon as the
first plants sprout and continuing un-
til late June or early July, by which
time the worms are full grown. The
