General Grigorieff, if the reports

against the Bolsheviki than had been
indicated recently, as the occupation

coast Of the Black Sea. Grigorieff,

Snrav,np Won't Hurt Bees.

Orchard spraying is sometimes OBJ
jected to on the ground that honey
bees are poisoned and killed by it, but
X, S. Herrick, orchard specialist at
Iowa State college. says that proper
spraying cannot injure the bees.
There is only one time when or
chard spraying could result in injury
to the bees and that is when the spray
is applied when fruit trees are in full
bloom, says Mr.. Herrick. However,
he adds. that is not the proper time to
spray. 1t is the wrong time absolutely,
not merely because it is likely to kill
bees, but also because it is likely to
injure the fruit The proper time to
spray in Iowa is just before the trees
bloom, Just after the blooming time.
when the petals have fallen and twice
later in the summer.
Proper spraying does not result III
injury to the Bees adds Mr.. Herrick.
There ought to be perfect understand
ing and cooperation between orchard
and bee men on that point. The or
chard men need the bees, to insure
cross pOllinati0n, and the bee men get
la good deal of honey from the or
chards."

Sheriff VIM. Meekins on
Committee to Submit a
Plan to State
Association.
HAVE STATE BUREAU
Auto Thievery Most Import
ant Question at Sheriff's
Meeting.

At the state convention of sheriff!
in Muscatine last week, Sheriff VIM
AIeekins of this city was named Oh {
committee to formulate plan to GU
down the number of auto thefts in thu
state. A million dollars worth OF auto.
We're stolen in Iowa last year. The
plan submitted by Mr.. Meekins' com
mittee was the establishment of 6
state bureau to cooperate with sheritfs
1t is proposed to establish this state
bureau in Des Moines and Governor
Harding promises that he will detail
one of the state agents to operate it
1t is proposed that every time any auto
is stolen anywhere in the state. it be
reported to the bureau. Also all cars
picked up are to be thus reported, max
ing the state bureau clearing house
for all lost cars.
Harsher Punishment.
Mr.. Meekins reports that the sllefiff>
of the state passed a resolution re-
Guesting that the courts deal more
severely with auto thieves and request
ing boards Of parole not to parole any
person convicted of stealing an auto.
mobile.
The auto thievery question was the
most important discussion Of the
sheriffs' convention, Mr.. Meekins says
The sheriffs blame the courts for be-
ing too lenient with the thieves after
they have been found guilty.
Compare Horse Thieves.
'They used to hang men for stealing
horses" said one sheriff at the Musca-
tine gathering, but auto stealing Is
becoming more or less of Il joke. Auto
mobiles are much more expensive and
harder to identify than horses, yet the
auto thief gets away with light pun
ishment or is paroled after he has been
found guilty
Governor Harding recognizes the
need of state bureau to handle the
data on stolen cars. The governor in
letter to the sheriffs said most i'm
pOrtant consideration and prompt at
tention must be given toward melting
out proper justice TO automobile
thieves.

When Hens Eat Eggs.

Egg eating sometimes becomes a ser.
ious vice, fowls becoming very fond OF
eggs when they have learned to eat
them, and it often spreads from fowl
10 fowl. 1t usually begins through ac-
cident by eggs being broken or frozen.
Be careful to see that this does not
happen. See that the nests are proper
ly supplied with straw or other nesting
material and have them darkened, SO
that if an egg is accidently broken, the
fowls will not be likely to discover it.
Supply plenty of lime in the form of
oyster shells, bone or similar sub
stances to insure firm shell. AS soon
as it is discovered that fowl has
formed the habit, the fowl should be
removed, in order to prevent the spread
of the vice. Once formed, it is difficult
to eradicate, and the safest remedy is
the death penalty.
Fowls sometimes pluck feathers from
themselves and from each other, which
is often caused by too close contine-
ment, by the presence of insect pests,
or by improper feeding. When some Of
the fowls of a flock have formed the
habit slightly, a wide range with a
change of diet, including plentiful
supply of animal feed, and freedom
from insect pests, will usually correct
the evil. Above all, see that the fowls
have plenty of inducement to exercise.
If the habit becomes we'll formed, it is
very troublemsome and may necessitate
the killing of some Of the fowls in
order to stop it.

Save Summer Apples.

do not waste single apple this
wear, not even of the summer varie-
ties advises Il. s. Herrick, extension
professor of pomology at Iowa State
college The apple crop is little less
this year in the United States than it
was last year. This would indicate
that at Thanksgiving time the price OF
apples would be as high, if not higher,
than it was last year.
Therefore. it is recommended by the
horticultural extension department that
housewives secure wherever possible
the summer and fall apples and use
them for apple butter, canning and dry
ing.

by beef were during the last winter,
and more silage was fed than ever be-
fore. The average amount consumed by
the calves for the entire period of $50
days was practically eighteen pounds a
day.. A saving of grain has resulted
from the use of silage."
With view to accomplishing still
greater saving of grain, the expert
ments will be continued next winter.
The fact that the sorghum silage has
proven equal to corn silage for finish
ing cattle is considered important be-
cause sorghum is a much surer crop in
dry seasons than corn and generally
Outyields corn.

Good Draft Horses Scarce.

1--WE are facing world shortage OF
draft horses say Wayne 'Dinsmore
secretary of the Percheron Society OF
America, and H. II. KiIdee of the ami
NAL husbandry department at Iowa
State college, at the end of weeks
trip through representative sections
of Iowa. On this trip, thanks to the
cooperation of the county iagents, it
was possible to visit many farms and
talk with many men who are in close
touch with the horse situation in their
communities.
In one county visited, these experts
estimated that there is one fOal to ev-
cry 2H farms, while in the other cOun-
ties there are not even that many
spring colts, but ratio of only ! to
4. There are few more yearlings
than foals, but not enough for normal
replacement upon the farms, to say no.
thing of the steady demand for good
draft horses for work other than on
farms. Furthermore, not enough draft
mares are bred for next spring fOal-
ing. Secretary Dinsmore reports a
similar conditions in Illinois and Ohio
the other states which with Iowa pro
duce the larger proportion OF the
draft horse of the United States.
Several buyers are searching the
country for horses, especially mares
both grade and purebred, for exporta-
ton to France and Belgium. The trac.
tors, according to statement made by
some statesmen working on commission
are not replacing draft horses on the
corn belt farms, but on some farms are
being advantageOusly usedg to supple
ment them. This is especially true
where there is considerable belt work
to be done.
Good draft gcldings are very scarce
and many buyers are paying from $500
to 500 team for them. All good
sound mares Of the draft type should
be bred to help supply the draft horse
shortage which we are facing.
