Keep Money In Town.

Plant your town so as to discourage
the movement of the people into out
side uncontrolled areas for purposes
Of buying supplies, so that the man
who wants your peoples trade must
establish his store on your land and
come with his family and clerks to
live in your town. Make 1t, in other
words, a self-contained and self-suf-
ficient town by every legitimate device.
If possible, make shopping attractive
by the provision of good store center,
lights, arcades, etc, so as to draw
trade from the neighboring villages
and farms. Your commercial values
will be your "velvet' and you can
make your Main street frontages worth

Wireworms are especially destruc-
tive to seed corn in the ground and to
the young corn and wheat plants. They
work entirely underground and are
among the most difficult to control of
all the insect foes that affiict the farm
er. Much may be done, however, to
lessen their ravages by careful tillage,
drainage, proper rotation of crops, etc.
WirewormS are the young of the
common swapping beetles, or click bee
ties, and the worms are yellowish or
brownish, highly polished and slippery
to the touch. They move actively and
disappear rapidly when brought to the
surface by the pillow or spade. The
eggs are laid in the ground, usually
in sod lands, where the young worms
are Matched. 1t takes three years for
most kinds of wireworms to get their
full growth and to become beetles.
Remedies for Wreworms.
The most successful method for the
control of wirewOrms are cultural in
nature. it having been found impossi-
BILE, or at least impracticable, to poi
son them by any known means.
Where it is proposed to plant sod
land to corn the following year, to
prevent wireworm injury the land
should be plowed Immediately after
the first hay cutting, usually early in
July, and should be cultivated deeply
during the remainder of the summer.
Land already in corn which is badly
infested should be cultivated deeply,
even at the risk of slightly root pruning
the corn. This should be continued
as long as the corn can be cultivated,
and as soon as the crop is removed
the field should be titled thoroughly
before 1t is sown to wheat.
In regions where wheat is seeded
down for hay, any treatment of In
Tested fields is precluded. Where the
wheat is not followed by seeding to
other corps, the fields should be plow-
ed as soon as the wheat is harvested.
This kills the worms by destroying
their food supply and preventing them
from preparing suitable sleeping quar-
tiers for the winter.
A thorough preparation of corn land

DRAINAGE AND PURE WATER
Two Essentials for the WelIbeing Of
Every Town, and All Too Often
Neglected.

In the majority of towns there are
now efficient drainage and sewerage
systems and proper means of disposal.
There are yet many towns without
an efficient system. Many large
country villages also have no sys-
TEN, and the conditions are most
unsatisfactory. These places do not
bother about 1t; they seem content to
go on III their own "sweet way" They
will not hear of any scheme. Those
responsI BILE look upon themselves MS
economists; yet their economy Is but
false, and their interest pocket
one" the welfare and wellheing OF
the pee pile being the last considera-
ton. A pure and efficient water sup
ply is another essential for all places,
yet we have many small towns and
villages without 1t. Water Is taken
from defective and impure sources
while wells are close to cesSpools and
drainage from cattle yards. and other
fouled surfaces have access To them.
This Is often due to the faulty con-
struction of the well or cesspool. What

holes were dug, and lined with dry
laid bricks, one being called the we'll
and the other the cesspool. Can we
wonder at disease being rampant? We
also find the water supply taken from
an open pond, full OF mud and growth,
and often a drain pipe discharglng its
contents into 1t. Many small towns
and villages view with disfavor and
are up in arms If an efficient system
of sewers, sewage disposal, or wa
ter supply is suggested. They will tell
you that their arrangements have suf-
feed for the past and no Ill results
have occurred the inhabitants, they
say, live as long ms they like; and yet
facts prove otherwise. In places
where proper systems have been in
stalled the death rate Is lowered, In
fantile mortality reduced, infectious
disease eradicated, or nearly so, and
the general health ettered.-From

pounds of dressed pork if fed with

cheese furnishes nearly seven times
as much protein and nearly as much
energy as the dressed pork 1t would

used direct, either for drinking or cook

skim milk should be used for human

Buttermilk Is equal to skim milk for
feeding hogs, while whey Is half as
valuable. Whey, being low in protein,
is not well suited for young pigs and
should be fed to older animals.
Ordinary grass pasture. or green rye,
oats, sorghum, rape. clover. alfalfa,
peas. or beans can take the place of
skim milk after the little pigs get a
start. Much green feed can be raised
without greatly reducing the acreage
of other crops.
Calves and pigs do well when some
skim milk is fed, but they need it only
for short time and in limited Juan

animals, skim milk is fed most ecOnom-

Avoid Fresh Sod.

Do not plant grain, and especially
corn, on freshly broken sod land If
this can be avoided. To do so exposes
1t to almost certain injury by wire
worms. cutworms, and white grubs.
Plant such land first to soy beans,
cowpeas, clover alfalfa, or buckwheat,
afterwards rotating to grain. The
growing of any one kind of grain on
the same land continuously is sure to
result in damage from insect pests,
and is bad agricultural practice. Adopt
a good system of crop rotation suit
able to your particular region. If you
do not know the most approved Sys-
TEN of rotation for your locality, ask
your county agricultural agent or state
experiment station for advice.

Made Land or Idle Land

Is it socially good business to re-
claim swamp land at high cost or
10 irrigate desert land in isloated
places at even higher cost, when
within the settled areas and near to
the markets are millions of acres I'M
used but needing practically only the
pillow? Nearly al the political lead
ers agree that it is, and that it is
just the way to provide land for the
returning soldiers. The now famous
Lane plan provides just this thing.
The soldiers, many Of them green
farmers, will be given reclaimed
land, much of it land in the Rocky
Mountain region, where the long rail
haul for products is heavy cost, and
the soldier farmers will be expected
to shoulder the land costs over a
series of years. But can there be an
easy payment plan for land acquired
at cost beyond present values?
The other alternative is toe loosen
the hold Of spectators on land now
ready for use but held idle for profit.

The recent action is brought on the
ground that the farmers in organic
ing a selling agency have violated
the antitrust laws. If such an indict-
ment could be made to stick by legal
hair-splitting, then so much the
worse for tn eanti-trust laws. They
have been of no use in preventing
the trusts from forming or flourish
ing like green bay trees; they may
possibly be of use in preventing
farmers from fighting the trusts.
Progressive farm organizations
have united in demanding an amend
ment to the present Clayton anti
trust law to remove this danger of
attack on farmer organizations. The
present congress should attend to it
and farmers should let their congress
men know that they expect action.
Several states have exempted farm
ers' organizations from antitrust
laws.

alton is an effective answer to inter-

american Letter

The workers of the United States
have suffered no economic hardship
as result of the war. Indeed, the
opposite is true. The war broke in
1914 on a period of serious unemploy-
ment. The number of persons out of
work during the winter of 1913-1914
was estimated at or 5 millions, and
this number had been at least equal
led in the winter of 1911-12. The
years Immediately preceding the war
were hard years. The war converted
those hard times into prosperity.
By 1916 the United States was
supplying a huge amount of war
equipment.
The entrance of this country into
the war brought unparalleled pros
perity. Contracts were abundant.
Profits were immense. Workers
were at premium and wages rose.
Overtime was paid for at time and
a half, and in some cases, at double
time. immigration had practically
ceased; millions We're called to the
colors; millions went into munition
and supply factories, and of those
who remained the majority were
called upon to exert themselves as
never before. They We're paid we'll

scales.
Prices rose as well as wages.-on
the whole the increase in the cost of
living was greater than the increase
in wages, but there were many work
ers who. temporarily at least, were
enjoying larger surplus of earn
lngs over necessary expenditures,
than had ever been their lot before.
The real gains, during this period,
We're made by the profteers. The
number of millionaires in the United
States increased 400 per cent. be-
tween 1913 and 1917. War profits
