A REAL "YELLOW
PERIL" THIS TIME
Japanese Beetle Gaining In
Gress on Iris Attacks
Jersey Crops

Jiu jitsu is all right in its way, but
when the insects of Japan practice it
on the commercial crops and fruits of
the lands which they visit, their hosts
have to instigate superior methods of
control.
For example, take the case of the
Japanese beetle, which, unasked, i'm
migrated to the United States in 1911
in the grub stage on the soil surround
ing iris plants. Finding residence in
Burlington county, New Jersey, this
colony of japanese beetles prospered,
multiplied, and increased in compound
measure to the extent, that soon the
horde of pests became so obnoxious
that the State Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the United
States Department of Agriculture,
had to exercise the ingenuity of
science to hold them in check.
The japanese beetle is a general
feeder which attacks fruit trees,
grapevines, and many varieties of We
getables, a large number of ornamen-
tai plants, and host of weeds, while
it especially likes SWEET coern. The
beetle is a strong flier during the
warm periods of the day, and it is
liable to be distributed on the cloth
ing Of autoists, pedestrians, or others
who travel through infested territor-
les. 1t is likely to be shipped out on
various farm crops, especially on
sweet corn, as the beetles penetrate
the ears of corn. In order, as far as
possible, to limit distribution by such
means, Federal quarantine is now in
effect providing for the inspection and
certification of all green sweet corn
used commercially in infested portions
Of Burlington county.
Control measures which spell sure
doom to the Japanese beetle consist
of establishing belt OF poisoned fol-
iage around the infested area. De-
structioun is also effected by means
Of poison sprays used copiously on
green growth subject to attack, as
well as hand-picking or catching the
beetles in nets. Other methods of
destruction include making away with
the rgubs in the soil by plowing, as
well as by treating the soil with sod
ium cyanide in solution. Roadways
are being cleaned of food pants which
are attractive to the pests, in order

Machine Tells Tearing
Strength of Paper

A paper-testing machine has been
invented by member of the staff of
the Forest Products Laboratory at
Madison. 1t is expected TO render
valuable service to the paper industry
by supplying data regarding the
strength of paper-data that has not
been easy to obtain heretofore. The
difficulty in testing the tearing
strength of paper has always been in
securing a constant force of value
Irregularities in the paper structure,
due to its fibrous nature, make the
reading of the force required to tear
the paper very uncertain, The ma
chine now nearin gcompletion over
comes this difficulty by yielding All
average force for the entire tear. 1t
simply measures the work done in
tearing the strip. Dividing the work
done by the length of the tear gives
the average tearing force. The length
of the KaNis the same in all cases so
that the machines can be callibrated
to read the average tearing force.

Mayor Harrison, of Chicago,
was being congratulated at a
luncheon on his ordinance forbidd-
ing chauffeurs to blow their horns
in the crowded business section Of
the city.
"Chauffeurs think" he said,
"that they need only blow heir
horns and the pedestrians will
leap out of the way. Let the
chauffeurs drive with care, remem-
lbering that the pedestrians right
is supreme.
"Why, if something isn't done,
the chauffeurs, in their arrogance,
will be getting up a horn code for
the pedestrian to learn and obey
code something like this:
Zone toot-Throw a quick hand
spring for the sidewalk.
1.-TWO toots-Dive over the car.
"Three toots-Lie down calmly
it is too late to escape; but we
will go over you as easily as pos
sible, if you keep very still.
Zone long and two short toots-
Throw yourself forward and we
will save both your arms.
Zone short and two long toots-
Throw yourself backward and one
leg will be saved.
-Four toots-It's all up with you
but we promise to notify your
family"

TIME TO BRING
THE GARDEN INTO
THE HOUSE
Many Kinds of Flowers Will
After Brief Rest Begin
to Bloom

Now is the time to begin moving
your garden into the house, and there
is no reason why one should be de-
prived of flowers in abundance just be-
cause the frost has nipped the garden
blossoms. 1t is a simple matter to
transfer the garden to the house and
so go right along enjoying profus-
ion Of bloom for months TO come. A'1-
ateurs often do not realize that flow
ers which flourish outside will fro
quently do almost as we'll in the house.
Many kinds may be lifted and care
fully potted, and after a pr1er rest will
continue blooming for many weeks.
Best known of these obliging plalts
is the common geranium, which is un-
excelled as house plant. 1t is true
that a geranium which has lowered
all summer will not bloom as well as
one which has been kept from bios
soming, but a considerable number of
flowers will be almost certain if the
plant be cut back when taken into the
house.
The BegOnia Popular.
Probably the begonia come next to
tho geranium in popularity among
house-plant lovers. This rs not to be
wondered at when the ease with which
they can be grown is considered, as
we'll as the fact that they are lavish
in their display of blossoms. Be
gonias, too, may be grown in windows
which get only little sunshine, while
geraniums plead for the sun without
stint. They may be lifted and potted
in the fall and will hardly cease
blooming.
Few people realize that salvias
make excellent house plants, but this
is a fact. Their brilliant scarlet bios
SONS are very cheerful, too, when the
outside world has been bereft Of flow
els and foliage. 1t Is best to have
young plants, just beginning to bloom.
Those started from cuttings made in
September will do nicely, but new
plants may be made from the lower
part of the old ones, bit of the par
ent plant being included. The bios
SONS must be cut just as soon as they
begin to fade and the plants need to
be sprayed frequently to keep the red
spider in check. Then a wealth of
blossoms will be produced.
Petunias Are Charming.
Petunias as house plants are charm.
ing. The single kinds may blossom
a bit more freely than the double va.
rieties, but the latter are especially
fine. Although the plants which have
been growing in the garden will con-
tinue to flower, it is better plan te
make new cuttings from old plants
some time before the end of the sea-
son. Petunias need to be cut back
sharply in order to bloom well, ano
new cuttings may be made every few
weeks, so as to insure a succession OF
bloom all through the year.
Among the other garden plants
which may be taken into the house are
the cobaea scandens, or cup and sau-
Ger vine (Which should be cut back and
potted before frost comes) carnations
heliotrope, wall flowers, latanas and
snapdragons. 1t is not generally real
lied that the last may be grown in the
house, but they really make a very at
tractive and satisfactory house plant
if care is given them.-Exchange.

Farmers Tell Experience
With Advertising

The department of journalism at
South Dakota State College wrote
nearly 100 farmers asking their ex-
perience with advertising.
One replied that advertising of seed
grain had been so successful that next
year a new granary was to be built,
new truck bought, and equipment for
cleaning and handling grain added.
Another replied that his success in
selling little pigs had been so great
through local papers that he had been
unable to meet the demand.
A third replied that a small ad in
the county-seat paper sold sal his set
tings of eggs.
These typical replies point once
more to the potential value of the far
mer as an advertiser in his home
weekly. The more he learns to adver-
tise, the more readily will he take to
personal letterheads for handling
the business brought in by the adver-
! tising. At present most farmers
think of advertising and job printing
only when they are retiring or NOV
ing on and are about to have a sale.

Mr.. Smith, dissatisfied with his
house, put the sale of it in the
hands of an agent.
A few days later he saw an ad-
vertisement of house exactly an
swering his needs. The more he
read of it's beauty and comfort the
more anxious he was to secure it
for himself.
SO he called up the agent with:
"There is a house advertised by
"A. B. c. See "A. B. c. and buy
it from him."
Sorry" was the laconic reply.
