Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the association, estimates the annual feast of enemy insects costs this country $500,- O00o00. To check this annual feed the as- sociation makes these suggestions for July:
 Spray fruit trees with bordeaux-lead. Spray elms for elm leaf beetles with ar senate of lead, one pound to 10 gallons of water Spray for forest tent cater pillars with arcenate of lead (same pro portion.) Spray tussock moth and other lead eating insects with arsenate of lead (same proportion).
 If woolly aphis is found on under side of beech tree leaves spray with whale oil soap, one pound to 10 gallons of water. Cse the same combination on the red spider that may be found on prostrate 1unipers, yew and box. The sycamore blight may be found in the shape of a white woolly mass on the under side of leaves, causing them to curl and wilt. Get the bordeaux mixture in proportions of one pound to eight gallons of water.
 "A good way to destroy caterpillars is to drive carpet tacks part way into long stick end. Catch your web at high est point and start turning in until you have the web. then plunge into any liquid that will kill them.

 The Queen also has done a very good turn to English racing frop the feminine point of view by bringing Princess Mary so much before the public at these sport ing events.

She becomes quHe pink with excitement and follows the horses round the course through an enormous pair of khaki-colored binoculars which are evidently the property of her brother, the Prince of Wales.

After a month in jail she was released. It developed that all they had against the woman was that on a previous evacuation of Bielebei she had served such a fine meal to the bolsheviSi that some of them narrowly escaped cap- ture by the whites because of tarrying over their dinner.

KELP ASH FOR FERTILIZING
tains Potash Content of More
Than SO Per Cent,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Since the war stopped the supply of
potash from Germany the bureau of
soils of the United States department
of agriculture has been experimenting
with various processes for recovering
potash from kelp, a seaweed. One of
the experimental plants has been in
successful operation for several
months.
One of the by-prOducts is keIp ash,
which contains potash content of
more than 33 per cent. Several car
loads CT this product have been placed
upon the eastern markets for fertilizer
purposes. A carload was recently sold
TO a farmers cooperative association
In New York and was found so salts
factory that another carload was
bought later A third carload of kelp
ash reached Baltimore about May l.
Anyone interested in buying kelp ash
in carload lots for fertilizer purposes
may secure further information from
the bureau of soils.

BUTTER AND MILK BEST
AND CHEAPEST FOOD

At Il state meeting of buttermakers
at Dubuque. Iowa. recently the con-
yentiOn passed a resolution for so per
cent fat and 1G per cent moisture con-
tent. as the standard for butter. They
claim that the OleO manufacturers are
trying to have this standard raised
which would be great injustice to the
creameries Did you ever hear of a
dairyman selling his butter. than which
there is no better or cheaper food. and
buying OleO. the worst competitor the
dairyman has ever had. OF course you
have and it is certainly a bad policy
to pursue Any business man who is
getting his trade from dairymen should
eat butter in preference to any imita-
tion. because it helps his customers and
he gets more for his money when food
values are considered. Think of a
dairy community teaching their schOl-
arS to cook with cleo. when the school
taxes are paid to large extent by
dairymen. Do not try TO beat WiScOn-
sin butter, cheese or milk. with imita-
tiOnS as il cannOt he done If the town
wants the farm trade. the farmers
want the town trade just as badly

prepared by the United States Depart

The potato crop is produced to sup
ply a demand for period of seven to
eight months. For this reason the crop
must be stored in part in the cOnsum-
ing centers and in part in the region
where it is grown. The crop is so
bulky and heavy that it cannot all be
handled by the railroads at one time.
In order therefore to conserve the crop
and adequately supply the trade, as
we'll as to stabilize prices, steps should
be taken to secure constant and ade-
quate flow of potatoes from the pro-
Queer to the consumer. This means
adequate storage on the farm and
more attention to buying in quantity
