FLOWING FATAL TO INSECTS
Countless Numbers Of Crop Pests Can
Be Destroyed by Disking Ground
During Fall.

Various field insects pass the winter
In the soil. Some of them make earth
en- nests lined with silk. while others
hide at the base of the roots of plants.
A. G. Ruggles, state entomologist of
Minnesota, thus explains how count
less numbers of crop pests can be de-
stroyed:
when the insect is in the transit
tional period between the larva or
worm and the adult they are very sus-
ceptible to disturbances. Disking or
blowing the ground in the fall dlsturbs
these forms and many Of them die. It
is also known that alternate thawing
and freezing weather has a destructive
effect upon insect life. Many insects
can endure freezing alone, but alter
nate freezing and thawlng is fatal.
"Also many of the more delicate
forms, If the blowing is done properly,
can be covered so deeply with soil that
they are unable to reach the surface
the following year. Many insects ex-
posed by the pillow are also devoured by
birds. For these reasons disking or
blowing are operations recommended
by all economic entomOlogists."

HE WANTED 1T RUBBED IN
Congressman Evidently Was Not Sat-

A wealthy western congressman,
says the Argonaut, much against his
will, erected a magnificent mansion in
Washington TO please his wife and
daughter. The congressman was Of
plain tastes and had no liking for the
social activities of the national cap
ital. One day an old friend visited
him. Wearing face Of the deepest
gloom, the owner OF the stately home
escorted his caller throughout the
place. The visitor was admiring and
enthusiastic, but the host said little
or nothing. When the inspection was
finished and the two had returned to
the library on the first floor. the Wis
itor said:

that you haven't everything that you
want"

ONE DIP NOT ENOUGH

A single dipping usually fails to rid

quently, after the eggs which may

dipping have had time to become ma
ture and deposit more eggs. As the
eggs on the body Of the host usually
require 4 days' incubation, sometimes
a week, and probably never more than
10 days, and as 10 to u days are nee
essary for the young mites after hatch
ing to grow to maturity, mate, and de-
post their eggs, 1t would appear that
the best time for the second dipping
is about 10 days after the first, as all
the eggs will have Matched, while prac-
tlcally none of the new generation of
mites will have developed sufficiently
to deposit eggs. Practical experience
has shown that the second dipping
may be delayed until the fourteenth
day without unfavorably affecting the
results Of the treatment, but wherever
possible 1t is preferable to follow the
Today rule.
