SYSTEMATIC SAVING

Everyone who has succeed
ed in saving money system
atically knows that the small
self-denial necessary Is more
than offest by the satisfac-
ton of being able ID con-
quer ones self and get
ahead in the world.
Most of the poor people
in this country are poor be-
cause they Or their parents
before them have not had
the strength of character
enough to deny themselves
the luxury necessary to save
even a small portion of their
income. Of course, one
should remember that it is
not the amount he saves
that will make him rich, but
the opportunities to invest
proitab bly, that always comes
to the man with the ready
money.
Systematic saving will fur
nish the ready money. Just
give it a trial and you will
soon be wondering why you
did not commence sooner.
A little time and thought
given to saving will soon
make you a successful saver.

Summary Of Control Measures for the
Army Worm.
1. Watch fields Of growing grass
and grain carefully, especially the
meadows, during the spring and early
summer months, to discover the nrmy
worms before they become full grown
and spread over the entire farm.
When the worms are discovered at
work, do not lose minute, but attack
them vigorously by means Of the meas
ures outlined In foregoing paragraphs.
2. Poison them by spraying crops
not Intended for forage with one
pound OF paris green to 90 gallons Of
water, or with two pounds Of pow
dered arSennte of lead to 90 gallons
Of water. In case the paris green is
used on tender plants, like corn, add
two pounds Of freshly-slaked lime to
90 gallons Of the mixture. This is to
prevent burning the tender plants.
Where spraying is not practicable,
the use of the poisoned-bran bait al
ready mentioned IL strongly recon-
mended.
B. In case the worms are crawling

row or ditch and crush them with O

1t is through the use Of such ap-
rarently sound potatoes for seed that
the disease Is often spread to new
localities.
How Disease May Be Spread.
Under ordinary conditions the pota-
to wart disease spreads slowly. II
lives in the soil and on the tubers,
SO one or the other must usually be-
transported to introduce the disease
into a new field or locality. The
spores may be carried into clean soil
by drainage from infected soil. on the
feet of men or animals, by planting
diseased potatoes, by planting sound
tubers that have grown on infected
soil, by the use Of manure from ami.
mails to which diseased potatoes have
been fed, and by garbage into which
Feelings from diseased potatoes have
been thrown.
Preventive Measures.
No method Of controlling the potato
wart disease has yet been discovered.
so every preventive measure must be
used to keep it from spreading. The
warts should be burned. Diseased
trbers must not be fed to live stock
without first being boiled. Infested
soil should be planted to other crops.
Potatoes should not be planted again
In infested soil for at least eight years.
Federal and state agricultural au.
thorities are working to prevent the
spread of potato wart, but they will
need heartiest cooperation from every
grower and dealer of potatoes to
save the industry from this new
menace. Experiments are being con-
Quoted to learn, IL possible, ways Of
controlling the malady, and informa-
ton will be furnished as rapidly as
discovered. But potato wart disease
Is much easier to prevent than to con-
troll.
Keep watch at digging time for
potatoes with warty growths which
are whitish or light brown when young,
black and decayed when old. Report
promptly all suspicious cases to your
county agent, to your state agricul-
tural experiment station or to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.

Watchfulness Is the key to success
which are young of certain moths or
millers that fly only at night. The
eggs from which the army worms
hatch are laid commonly on grasses
or grasslike grains and the tiny cater
pillars, upon Matching, feed for several
days near the ground, hidden by over
hanging grasses or grains and thus
may escape notice until nearly full
grown, by which time they have be-
come widely distributed over the in
tested fields.
Upon the discovery Of the pest in its
younger stages depends very largely
the possibility Of stamping out infes-
tations before serious injury to crops
has occurred. Meadows therefore
should be examined frequently, partic-
nlarly those planted to timothy, blue
grass, wheat, and especially millet, to
discover the young worms.
If the infested spot be small, the grass

Poisoned Bats for the Army Worm.
Poisoned bats have long been used
as a means of destroying the numer-
Gus species of cutworms and also the
army worm. An efficient bait Of this
kind may be prepared and used as fol-
lows: To 80 pounds Of wheat bran
and one pound Of paris green or two
pounds Of powdered arsenate Of lead ;
add the Juice Of one-half dozen or

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF 'Agriculture.)
To select strains Of potatoes which
are best adapted for commercial pro-
duction, the United States department
OF agriculture and cooperating state
agencies are conducting extensive ex-
periments in seed Improvement. Trials
are being made In Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Oregon, Washington.
Maine, and also in Louisiana, Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Several
strains Of the leading commercial va
rieties now grown in the North are
under test, the purpose being to study
them carefully under actual growing
md harvest conditions In the field,
and to select the best strain Of seed
of each commercial variety. The fol-
lowing year each strain will be grown
on large scale. As the supply Of
seed stock permits, the seed Is to be
distributed among growers and seeds
men, and In this way is to be gradu-
oily popularized and disseminated.
This investigation will be Of country
wide significance in improving the fu-
ture stocks of seed potatoes.

should be plowed ut least once a year,
and the soil should be thrown to the
center. In this way the height Of the
terrace is kept up and the base may
lie broadened each year.
Steep land that washes badly be-
tween the terraces should not be cul-
tivated. The terraces should first be
well built and the entire field seeded
to grass and used for pasture or
meadow.
When 1t is found necessary to cross
farm road in terracing field, the
building of the terraces should be con-
tinued across without regard to the
road. Where the terraces are as much
as 20 feet broad, no provision need be
made for passing traffic across them,
but they should be carefully main
tnlned to prevent possible breaks.
Where the terraces are not more than
ten feet broad, considerable inconveni-
ence to traffic and injury to the ter
races generally results where no pro-
vision for crossing Is made. Some
times the water is carried under the
roadway by a culvert, but the principal
objections to this are that the capac-
ity Of the waterway is greatly reduced
and the free flow Of the water through
the culvert is often obstructed by
stalks or other trash washed from the
field. A wooden bridge spanning the
channel, so as not to reduce very much
the cross-sectional area Of the water
way, makes a more desirable and sat
isfactory crossing.

Shade and protection from the glare
and heat Of Old Sol mean better and
more cheaply matured pullets, more
summer eggs from the laying fowl and
a general abundance of hen happiness.
Plenty Of shade should be provided.
especially for growing chicks, in order
that they may thrive and prosper dur
ing warm weather. Shelter furnished
by plants or trees is much cooler than
that afforded by buildings or other ar
tificial means. Chicks allowed to
range in orchards will not only find
ample shade and green food, but will
benefit the trees as well as themselves
by destroying insects and worms.
Corn or sunflowers will help to pro-
vide the necessary shade, or artificial
protection may be obtained by sup
porting frames covered with burlap
or branches of trees a few feet above
the ground.
Summer Calls for Care.
Although chicks may be Matched
from strong, vigorous stock and care
fully brooded, their growth will be
retarded unless they receive the
proper attention during warm weather.
Growing chicks should be provided
with plenty Of nutritious food, includ-
ing green stuff, dry mash and grain.
AS supplement to the green food
which the chicks will rustic on the
free range, grain mixture, consist
ing of six parts cracked corn, three
parts wheat, two parts hulled oats and
one part Kafir corn, should be fed
where possible. The ration may be
varied according to grains available,
providing the feeding value is main
tanned. AS the chicks get older
clipped oats may be used instead Of
hulled oats. In addition to the above
feed, dry mash should be fed in a
hopper to which the chicks can have
access at all times. A good mixture
for this purpose consists Of two
pounds Of cornmeal, one pound of mid
dlings, four pounds of rolled oats, two
pounds Of wheat bran and two and
one-haf pounds of beef scrap. Char
coal grit and ground oyster shell
should be available constantly so that
the chicks can help themselves. If q

Like many other plant diseases and
insect pests, the potato wart disease
was imported from Europe. 1t is with
out doubt the most serious potato
disease yet discovered In the United
States. Unless promptly suppressed 1t
may prove disastrous to the entire
American potato industry, which in
wolves nearly half billion dollars an

- What to Look For.
Two bright spots reduce the menace
Of this disease.
Except in its early stages, 1t is cas-
fly recognized: and It spreads slowly.
However. IL cannot be detected I'M
til the potatoes are dug, as 1t does
not seriously affect the growth or
yigor of the vines.
1t usually appears In the eyes Of the
tubers. Spreading from this point OF
Infection, 1t may gradually envelop the
whole potato and render 1t spongy,
warty mass. 1t Is characterized by the
prominent wart-like outgrowths on the
tubers.
The warts ut first are whitish or
hight brown. Eventually they turn to
a darker shade. After decay starts
they turn black. Young warts, when
exposed to the light, turn green.
The warty tumors vary from the
sire Of a pea to walnut; or they
may even exceed the size of the potato
on which they grow. In the latter
case, the warty mass loses all re-
semblance to a potato. In some hills
some Of the potatoes may appear per-
fectly healthy. but the eyes are likely
to be infected.
