sMUDGE SAVES POTATO CROP
"Smoke Screen" Successfully Applied
to Field of Tubers in Hardin :
County, Ohio.

prepared by, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A member of the farm bureau in
Hardin county, Ohio, saved 20-acre
field of late potatoes from frost last
fall by the use of smudge. The po-
tatoes had made practically no growth
during July and August because of dry
weather, but were maturing in good
shape when, on the night of Septem-
Der 81, the temperature dropped be-
low the freezing point. Preparations
had been made for just such an emer-
gency. Baled straw had been placed
in readiness, and at 10:30 that night
the fires were started. 1t was found
that heavy smoke could be made by
using wet straw after the flame had
been applied. Fires were kept burning
in 102 places, and it is estimated that
ten tons of straw were used. The en-
tire field was kept covered with smoke,
and after the sun had been up few
hours the following day it was plain
that the potatoes had been saved. The
potatoes remained green until October
/. Other foliage, not completely COW
cred with smoke, was killed by the
frost.

We're not disappointed When vic

women began ordering more elaborate
dress. With the signing of the armi-
stice came a reaction and rush for
evening dress. Considering every

perience too quickly. AT present they

One of these fancies is for large os-

black and white they go to extremes in
size which one fails to find in colors.
They are very beautiful and one can
not imagine a time when an ostrich

TO PREVENT INSECT INJURY

Simple Bordeaux mixture will not
kill insects. In order to prevent in
sect injury add arsenate of lead at
the rate of two pounds to each fifty
gallons of Bordeaux Cor ten pounds to
the 25Ogallon Tank. Great care should
be used when making and applying
Bordeaux mixture. Do not spray
trees with 1t during damp. foggy
weather or during rainy period; for
it is likely to cause burning of the
leaves and russeting of the fruit. At
such time lime-sulphur solution may
be substituted for Bordeaux.

BETTER HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Under Federal Supervision Production
Has Increased and Quality Has
Been Improved.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Less than l per cent of hog cholera
serum manufactured under federal
supervision during the last year was
found to be unfit for use and its sale
prevented by federal officials. Of 2I1,-
402, $50 cubic centimeters of serum
made in licensed establishments, 2,4S3.-
661 was declared unfit. Corresponding
figures for last year were 23S, S61,219
cubic centimeters of serum produced
and 5,O36S75, or more than 2 per cent,
was unfit and likewise withheld from
market
This comparison shows that federal
supervision has increased the produc-
ton of serum for combating hog chol-
era in the United States and has i'm
proved the quality. Serum declared
unfit is not, however, necessarily in
furious; it is frequently condemned
merely for lack of potency Hog
cholera virus used simultaneously with
serum is subject to similar control.
In its supervision of hog-cholera
serum and virus manufacture the bu-
reau of animal industry prevents eth
er product of doubtful quality from
leaving the establishment in which it
is made. A knowledge of this policy
by swine raisers of the United States,
1T is believed, will cause more herds
to be vaccinated and result in greatly
reduced losses from hog cholera.

ing and planting. When it is neces-
sary to replant early injured corn,
pillow the field deeply and thoroughly
and then give three or four deep disk
ings at intervals Of two or three days.
These practices necessarily involve ad-
ditional labor, but they prevent root
aphis injury and also put the field in
much better physical condition. Plow-
ing in the fall before the ant colonies
go below the pillow. line is sometimes
as useful as spring blowing, but If
warm weather follows, the ants may
reconstruct their nests and reassemble
the aphids so that replowing in spring
will be necessary; but whether. the
field be plowed in the fall or spring,
the spring diskings are essential.
Early fall blowing, followed by fire.
quent deep diskings in fields damaged
by the root aphis that season, is a good
practice from the standpoint of COM
munity control as well as for the per-
sonal benefit derived, because the
blowing disturbs the ant colonies, kills
many of the aphids, and destroys the
weeds upon which they live, and disk
ing prevents the recolonizations of ants
and prevents the growth OF weeds, re-
sulting in significant reduction in
the number of aphid eggs to carry the
insect through the winter.
Repellents for Aphis.
Where it is impossible to practice
one Of the foregoing measures, repel-
Tents may be used to advantage. The
object is to repel the ants by the use
of an odorous substance offensive to
them, thus preventing them from col
onizing the aphids on the corn roots or
driving them from the treated field.
These materials destroy neither the
ants nor the aphids but tend to drive
away the ants. the presence of which
is essential to the life of the aphids.
Oil of tansy, tincture of asafetida, oil
OF sassafras, anise oil, kerosene, and
oil Of lemon are useful for this pur-
pose, one of these materials being mix
ed with chemical fertilizer, such as
bone meal, and applied by means of
a planter equipped with fertilizer
attachment. They should not be ap-
piled directly to the seed, as such
treatment may injure it, especially if
the season be wet. One-fourth Of a
pound of oil Of tansy should be diluted
with two quarts of alcohol and one
quart of water, two pints Of asafetida
should be diluted with one and a half
gallons of water, and either repellent
thus diluted should be added to 100
pounds of bone meal, this amount be-
ing sufficient for an acre.

The corn rOot-aphis attacks the
roots of corn throughout the states
east of the Rocky mountains, especial
ly in those states within the main corn
belt of the country, but also in the
South Atlantic states. Since it passes
almost its entire life underground, it's
presence frequently is not suspected.
1t is small, stout, soft-bodied, whit
ish-looking insect and may be discov-
cred in infested fields by pulling up the
unhealthy corn plant and closely ex-
aiming the roots and surrounding
soil. This kind of aphis depends en-
tirely upon the services of q small
brown ant, sometimes called the corn
field ant, in order to secure it's food
and the means of surviving the winter,
and the presence Of an unusual num-
Der of brown ants in cornfields may
indicate an infestation of the corn
root-aphis. The eggs of the insect
are laid by wingIess female aphis
which develops only in the fab of the
year. The ants carry the aphis eggs
into their nests, caring for them all
winter long, and in the spring when
the eggs hatch the young aphids are
carried out and placed in contact with
the roots of certain wild plants such
as smartweed. If corn is then plant
ed in such infested places, the ants
transfer the aphids to the roots of the

Printed georgette and printed voiles
for blousesN of simple design make
pretty and youthful styles that de-
mand very little in the way of decora-
ton. The patterns and colors in these
printed fabrics hold the interest so
that no elaboration is needed on the
blouses made from them. except in
finishing touches. They are in little
class by themselves and are recon-
mended to those who are clever at
making things for themselves. The
beauty of the fabrics is their chief
charm, and simplicity of design, which
is in harmony with them, appeals to
the amateur blouse-maker. Besides,
the printed fabrics relieve the monot-
ony of too many blouses of plain ma
terials.
Two of these new styles in blouses
of printed georgette, as pictured here,
might be made of printed wolfe as well.
In the blouse at the left the georgette
is printed with small figures in an all

predolninates. This blouse is shirred

front and extends in a tiny apron be-
