vETcH CROP IN HOME GARDEN
spaded or Hoed Under II viii Assist
In Keeping Soil Supplied With
Needed Humus.

A few cents worth of vetch seed
planted in the garden each year and
spaded or hoed under as a green ma
nure crop will keep the soil supplied
with humus and, to a large extent, with
nitrogen. The vetch should be kept
growing at all times in all available
spaces.
For example, If early corn or cab
bage are not removed in time to allow
planted between the rows at the time
of the last cultivation. 1t will then be
large enough to spade under in the fall
or spring. Another good way to use
vetch is to sow 1t in the fall or spring
when the garden is being spaded In
preparation for tomatoes.
BY the time the tomato plants are
ready to eat, the vetch will be well un-
der way. If the vetch is not more than
three or four inches high. places can
be cleared at proper distances for
planting the tomatoes by turning un-
der spade or two of soil. Then
when the vetch left between the to-
matoes is six or eight inches high, II
can be hoed in. Since 1t is green and
tender. this is no great task and the
vetch will soon rot. If vetch is used In
this way. the soil should be inocu-
lated with the necessary bacteria. In
strsctions for doing this simple work
can be had upon application to the

thoroughly plowed or disked and har-
rowed in the fall, as these operations
prevent the eggs from Matching the
following spring.
The hopperdozer Is mechanical
control implement and consists of a
galvanized sheet-iron pan or trough
having back rising at right angles
to the pan. 1t is about 16 feet in
length and mounted on runners made
of wood or old wagon tires. Hopper
dozers often are made of a pan of gal
vanized sheet iron. but the back and
side wings are usually built with
wooden frame covered with stout mus
lin or light cotton duck, thus secur-
ing lightness and elasticity of struc-
ture. The insects hop into this trap,
which is drawn across the field by
horses. As many as 800 bushels of
grasshoppers have been collected by
the use of hopperdozers on 100 acres
of alfalfa.
How to Make Poisoned Bait.
AS ordinarily prepared. the bran bait
is composed as follows: Wheat bran.
% pounds; paris green, / pound, or
white arsenic, / pound; fruits of
finely chopped lemons or oranges;
quarts of low-grade molasses; to
gallons of water, according to climatic
conditions. The bran and paris green
or other arsenical are thoroughly mixed
while dry. The fruits are then finely
chopped and added, and last the d.
luted molasses is poured over the bait
and the whole thoroughly kneaded.
This amount of poisoned bait is suffl-
cient to treat about three acres when
the grasshoppers first hatch. Later,
when they are nearly full grown, this
amount will suffice for about five
acres If sown broadcast in strips one
yard apart.
Blow flies, robber flies and digger
wasps all prey upon grasshoppers.
while wild birds, from the minute hum
ming birds to the mammoth hawks,
also assert u marked control.
Complete information relative to
grasshopper control Is presented in

been reissued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, a copy Of

PUTTING EAR CORN IN sIL0
Best to Add Some Stalks Because They

to Fermentation.

1t has been found practical to en-
sile soft corn ears without any stalks,
but 1t is better to add some stalks
because they furnish much sugar
which is essential to proper fermenta-
ton. Tests made at Ames on the
Iowa station show that an immense
amount of corn can be slowed away
in n silo this way, that 1t will not
spoil, and that 1t makes an exceed
ingly rich feed. 1t should be fed as n

The periodical cicnda. an insect al
most universally miscalled the 11-year
locust, has bad reputation, but the
destruction it causes is negligible COM
pared to that wrought by grasshop-
pers-which, by the way, are true
members of the locust family. The ci-
cadas have been blamed for much of
the work of the grnsshoppers.
Both the young and old hoppers
gnaw and devour the grain crops
wholesale, and work in large swarms
which sometimes attain sufficient num-
bers to consume almost every green
thing in sight.
Dry weather ordinarily favors the
successful Matching of the eggs and
the subsequent development of the
hoppers, while cool, wet weather. as
rule. is unfavorable, and grasshop-
pers often die in great numbers from
disease when weather conditions of
this character prevail. The grasshop-
pers lay their eggs in the soil. the
banks of irrigation canals being favor
ed for this activity. and the young
grasshoppers appear the following
spring. In some of the Southern and
Southwestern states the hoppers
emerge as early as February, while in
the northern territory the eggs are not
hatched before the middle of May or
the first part of June. The young
grasshoppers are active and able to
hop almost Immediately upon emer-
gence from the eggs. In 20 to 90 days
they attain maturity and develop
wings. Hence the time for the farmer
to attack the pest is during its young
stages.

There are three methods of control

the evidence is that President Will
son "rides upon the storm" "The
Sun" warns as follows:
"The secrecy with which the Presi-
dent has surrounded this singular en-
terprise Of his self-directed diplomacy
obviously renders discussion of the
details of his scheme impossible.
There is, however, one thing which
must constantly be horne in mind
when the ultimate consequences of
this or any other proposed alliance
are under consideration. This is the
ract that the Constitution reposes in
the Congress the exclusive power to
declare war, In this power the Chief
Executive has no share, The Presi-
dent cannot declare war, nor can he
compel the CongFess to declare war"
"Manifestly such an alliance al that
to which the American correspondence
In Paris report Mr., Wiisen al having
given iiis adherence must be expresaet
In treaty, and that treaty must, te
have any force, be approved by the
eehate' hut eveh though such a treaty
