A Hard Job.

ONE Of the hardest jobs in Washing .
- ton to fill properly is that Of q
governorship on the Federal Reserve
Board. When the board was created
Congress, fearing that 1t might be
used by unscrupulous persons ass q
money -making stepping stone, pro-
vided that no member Of it could en-
gage in the banking business within
two years after the expiration of his
term or his departure from the board.
The result Of this law has been that
Secretary Glass has experienced great
dimculty in filling vacancies. The sal
airy is not large and few men are
willing to tie themselves UP for two
years after they cease to be members
of the board.
However, after combing the coun-
try, recently, the Secretary found
man who seemed admirably fitted for

the same being the case with every
member of the board. 1t seemed to
him, however, that he should not dis
courage his visitor too greatly by
telling him the whole horrible truth.
so when there flashed into his mind
something that governors could do
which other persons could not, he
solemnly said:
"Sir, when you are a member of the
board, you will be entitled to use the
private entrance to the Treasury one

For some reason or another the

Agricultural production is not the
sum total Of achievement by members
Of boys clubs in the South. Those
youngsters below the Mason-DixOn line
raise good crops; also. they raise fine
baby beeves and standard pigs. Their
sheep are Of accredited breeds; their
poultry is of the better types; and the
gardens they cultivate are model gar
dens, many Of them yielding very
worthwhile produce. In dollars and
cents, the result of those boys efforts
annually mounts up to many thou
sands; in food supply it is Of incal-
culable value to the Is Southern states.
But this is only part Of the story

tivities of those Southern lads. The
other part is, or should be, more In
teresting, for it deals with intangible
commodities character, high ideals,
educational aspirations, civic pride
evolved from and developed through
the training received in boys clubs. In
it's effort to strengthen the agricul-
tural extension organization the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
cites some instances to show the bene-
fits of the boys club work in the
South.
Bonds and Bank Accounts.
In Texas there are 1000 boys receiv-
ing higher eiucation-the direct re-
suit of club membership. There are
10000 club boys in that state who
bought Liberty bonds, War Savings
and Thrift stamps. The same number
belong to the Red Cross, and 1000
have bank accounts. Members of the
boys clubs in Oklahoma, over $4,000,
own war securities amounting to
$112.81S. Their bank deposits total
$751;, 931.S6. Also West Virginia has L.
500 club members who have bank ac-
counts. Many own lands and several
hundred are in colleges. Arkansas has
a record of hundreds of former boys
club members who are in college, and
what is more to their credit, paying
their tuition with money earned from
the sale of of their agricultural prod
ucts and prizes won in agricultural
contests.
A number Of the Southern clubs
have developed college professors, In

like swellings on the stem. Another
very good indication is the presence
in the field Of number Of fallen or
lodged plants.
The larvae Of this insect remain in
the old stubble until November or De-
cember, when about 80 per cent of
them change to the pupa stage. In
this form large numbers are winter
killed in the Northern states, but Sc
we're weather also kills their natural
enemies. Without the assistance Of
numerous parasitic enemies of the
iointworm, wheat growing in the
Eastern states of necessity would
have been abandoned or the growers
forced to adopt effective control
measures, say department specialists.
When fall blowing is practiced the
stubble containing the pest is buried
deeply, thus preventing the insect
from emerging the following spring.
Whenever this method is adopted the
badly infested wheat should be cut
high. so that the greater majority of
the jointworins will be left on the field
in the old stubble and may be turned
under and destroyed. In southern
Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and
other Southern and Southeastern
states where double-cropping systems
are in general use. it is possible to
plow under the stubble without inter-
fering with the cropping system.
Where this is not practicable. as is
sometimes the case in the more North
ern states, substitute crops. such as
rye. barley or buckwheat should be
grown on heavily infested areas.

JOINTWORM IS MOST
DESTRUCTIVE ENEMY
Pest Ranks Next to Hessian Fly
in Eastern States.
Small Grub Lives in Stems Of Wheat,
Sucking Juices Of Plant-May Be
Controlled by Flowing
StubbIe Deeply.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture) N
The most destructive enemy of
wheat. next to the Hessian fly, in the
wheat states east of the Mississippi
river and In parts Of Missouri is the
wheat jointworm. 1t is a very small
grub which lives in the stems of
wheat, sucking the juices of the plant
and causing swelling in the stem.
Although this insect is sometimes
more serious than the Hessian fly,
occasionally causing complete destruc-
ton, very little is done at present to
control its depredations. The insect
has number of natural enemies, but
these should not be relied upon. For
tunately the jointworm attacks only
wheat, which fact suggests one of the
most reliable control measures, that
of substituting crops. In the south
ern part of the Eastern wheat belt the
insect may be controlled by plowing
wheat stubble deeply after harvest
when this does not interfere with the
growing Of red clover and grass.
The egg from which the jointworm
matches is laid in the stem by an in
sect resembling small black ant with
wings. When wheat plant first be-
comes infected no outward sign may
appear. The presence of the worm
can be detected when the plant is
nearly mature by examining the inside
Of the stem, usually just above the
second or third joint from the ground
