vETCH CROP IN HOME GARDEN
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 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
for follow-up crop, vetch can be
planted between the rows at the time
of the last cultivation. 1t will then be
large enough to spade under in the fal!
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 a spade or two Of soil. Then
when the vetch left between the to-
matoes is six or eight inches high. 1t
can be hoed in. Since it 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
structions for doing this simple work
can be had upon application to the
state college of agriculture at Ithaca,
N. Y.

In shopping trip woman found
two blOuses with the same price at
tached to each. One was trimmed
with quantities of fairly goodlooking
but rather cheap, conspicuous lace.
and the other was plainly made,
trimmed only by the hemstitching on
the collar and cuffs. Unable to decide
between them she bought them both,
and was taught a lesson worth any
womans time to learn.
Coarse and Cheap.
SHE wore the lace-trimmed one to a
picnic one day and had the cOmpla-
cent feeling which comes to a woman
when she is wearing clothes which she
thinks are becoming. She was aware
that it was conspicuous, but she was
sure that all the women were enviOuS
of her appearance. However, when it
was washed the first time the lace
tore in several places and 1t took half
of valuable hour to repair it. The
material had lost its new stiffness and
appeared rather coarse and cheap.
When she wore it the next time she
was not happy over its effect, for it
looked cheap and in poor taste, even
to her.

and the plant juices withdrawn, caus-
ing the cells to shrivel and turn white.
When number of these cells are de-
stroyed they appear as irregular white
or ight-brown spots. If the attack is
severe, the whole leaf surface becomes
invested by these spots and finally
shrivels and dies.
Spraying has been found to be the
most effective means of controlling this
insect, both in the greenhouse and out
Of doors. The following solution used
in one experiment killed all adult in
sects and about 95 per cent of the
nymphs.
Nicotine suphate (ounces) ................ 8
Fish-oil soap (pounds) NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 4
water (gallons) ........................... 80
The spray should be applied to both
sides of the leaves; if possible, on a
dull or cloudy day. The adults are not
so active at this time and are, there
fore, less likely to move out Of reach
Of the spray.
In the greenhouse the sugar-beet
thrips may be held in check by the
application of a strong spray of water
to the foliage. This washes the young
er stages from the leaf; and as these
are unable to reach the food plant
again. they soon die.

In contrast to the lacy one the
simple blouse gave her no cause for
standardization. When she wore it the
first time she admitted to herself that
although it didn't feel new it was
comfortable to know her friends were
looking at her and not at snowy lace.
After its first trip to the washtub 1t
was q welcome contrast to the other,
for it was even prettier than before.
The material was soft and fine and
the seams required no repairing. Long
after the tawdry, much-trimmed
blouse had been relegated to the old
clothes bag the other was doing serv-
ice.
Tasteful Trimming.
For what did she spend her money?
In the first one, much trimming, a
great amount of only fair workman
ship and poor material. In the sec
Ond she paid for little but tasteful
trimming, good workmanship and
good material. For what do you pay
when you buy clothing?
The thrift leaflets issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the United States treasury
department give helpful suggestions
on wise spending to those who are
anxious to ecOnomize.

PUTTING EAR CORN IN SiL0
Best to Add Some Stalks Because They
Furnish Much Sugar Essential
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-
tion. Tests made at Ames on the
Iowa station show that an immense
amount of corn can be slowed away
in a silo this way. that 1t will not
spoil, and that it makes an exceed
ingly rich feed. 1t should be fed as n
concentrate and not as a roughage.
The ears should be cut fine and thor
oughtly tramped in the silo when
filling. Do not let any spoiled ears

principally sugar beets and sugar cane.
The insect is dark brown or black in

to that of other species, such as the
onion thrips and bean thrips. The

How to Make Poisoned Bait
As ordinarily prepared. the bran bait
is composed as follows: Wheat bran.
% pounds; paris green. 1 pound. or
white arsenic, I pound; 6 fruits of
finely chopped lemons or oranges; 2
quarts Of lOw-grade molasses; 2 to 4
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 di-
luted molasses is poured over the bait
and the whole thoroughly kneaded.
This amount of poisoned bait is suffi-
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 II 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 q marked control.

grasshopper control Is presented in

The periodical cicada, an insect al
most universally miscalled the 17-year
locust, has a 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 grasshoppers.
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
a rule, is unfavorable, and grasshop-
pers often die in great numbers from
disease when weather conditions of
this character prevail. The grasshop-

There are three methods of control
