HELP SAVE
GRAIN CROP
Campaign Commenced by Department

lie threshermen will be aided by the
government to develop efficiency and
avoid loss in separating the wheat
from the chaff.
Records Of the department reveal
startling losses of grain through
avoidable waste of the threshermen.
Tests made in Just ordinary" crop
years show that an average OF 2b,0Vo,-
geo to 10000 bushels Is thus
thrown away, What 1t will be this
year, unless the waste is eliminated,
the department believed would be
worth much more than the campaign
of education would cost the govern
nient
In Minnesota, where the department
made comprehensive tests covering
q 500 threshing machines last year, 1t
was found that more than 25 per cent
OF machines wasted an average OF 10
bushels of grain day each. This loss,

ARE THE BUGS IN
YOUR POTATOES?
Here is An Expert Who Tells Exactly
How to Debue the Vines and
Save Your Crop on
the Vacant Lot.

"Why allow the potato beetles to
destroy the potatoes?" asks W. A
Hook, county agent at Kahoka, who
continued: They can be easily con-
trolled by spraying with an arseui-
cal Every year this pest does an
immense amount Of damage by eat
ing the leaves of the potatoes and
thus permitting none or only few
small potatoes to grow.
This pest may be easily controlled
by spraying the potato vines with
arsenate of lead in the proportion of
two pounds of the powdered form or
three pounds of the paste, TO fifty gal
Ions of water. Mix thoroughly and
apply with good pump throwing a
fine spray or mist Cover all parts
of the foliage completely. Begin
spraying soon after the potato vines
are up or when the beetles first ap-
pear and spray as often as is necas-
sary. Do not wait until the beetles
have become numerous, but kill the
first ones which appear in the spring
Where city people have only a
few vines 10 protect and will not
need large amount Of material they
may mix the poison in the proportion
of two ounces of the powdered arsen-
ate OF lead, or four ounces of the
paste. to three gallons OF water.
IF one does not have spray pump
they may poison the beetles by mix
ing thoroughly two rounding table
spoons full Of dry arsenate of lead
with one quart Of -four or air Stacked
lime Paris green will do if the
arsenate of lead cannot be secured
Place this mixture in porous -four

'$sI Long before noon the fishing
party drove in the Allenby yard. Mrs.
Cloud. between snOrts of rage, gave a
vigorous and vindictive account of thS
accident.

Tommy, a triumphant Tommy, came

couldn't bear to have him uselessly

shouldn't either. even if she had to

that evening when on the street she

"Why, Eddie, she can't swim ~ Reba's
tone was reproving, but there formed
in her brain rash and desperate plan

it all. Mrs. Frederick Cloud, whose
