DON'T LET INSECTS
DEVOUR THE GARDEN CROPS

AS food prices have increased SO
have the values of garden products in
creased. Every year insect pests de-
stroy enough garden products to feed
a large army. X. G.. Sullivan of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture says that this loss can be
prevented if the proper precautions
are taken.
A great many garden pests such as
the squash bug, the calico bug, tan
nish plant bug, striped cucumber bee
tie, twelve spotted cucumber beetle
several species of flee beetle and many
others pass the winter as adults hid
den away in the rubbish along the
fence, under old cabbage leaves and
similar places. There the first thing
to do in starting the garden in the
early spring is to clean up and burn
all the accumulated rubbish in and
near the garden. Garden insects null
tiply very rapidly and by destroying
one insect now it may mean the pre-
yention of hundreds later on. The
cabbage worms winter in a little
chrysalis or case attached to dead
cabbage leaves, so by burning the
rubbish great numbers of this raven
Gus pest are also destroyed.
Another large group of garden
pests pass the winter as larva or pupa
in the soil. In this group may be in.
Guided the white grubs or May beetles
cut worms, tobacco or tomato worm
wireworms and webworms. For thi;
~ ,, host tn f,1nxty cna1n fhf
garden in the fall SO as to expose then
to the weather. However, if the sol
is turned in the early spring many Of
them will be unable to withstand the
cold nights. Chickens running in the
garden at the time of blowing or spad.
ing will make use of uncovered grubs
to great advantage.
1t is also wise to lay in a supply OF
spraying materials in the early spring
and to see that the hand or KNAPP
sack sprayer is in good working order
Just as soon as the potatoes pusf
through the ground some arsenate OF
lead or paris green will be needed fol
the Colorado potato beetle and lit
tie later the cabbage worms and Gu
cumber beetles will need a dose Of
poison. For sucking insects like thu
squash bug and the little plant lice
some nicotine sulphate or kerosene
emulsion will be needed. Many in
sects have the habit of appearing very
suddenly so the garden should be care
fully watched and just as soon as thu
insects begin to feed, the remed!
should be applied. A short delay ma!
result in the loss or heavy damage o.
the crop.

pests, write to the Department of En-
tomology, College of Agriculture

LIVE STOCK MARKET
st. Louis Live Stock Market, Apr. G.
Today's Receipts:

CATTLE.-General conditions of
the trade are more satisfying than
they have been for number of weeks,
the bulk of the killing cattle showing
general advance of Soc per cwt.,
compared with the previous weeks
close. Killing steers, however, to-
ward the latter end of the period, move
rather draggy under diminished COM
petition and loses part Of the fore
weeks advances. The outlook re-
garding the future however, is rather
favorable.
Beef steers, $3.50 to $14.50; stock
ers and feeders, 1925 to $11.50; butch
err cattle, SO to $14; beef cows, $3.50
to $11; Gamers and cutters, SIS to So;
stock cows and heifers, SIPS to SO;
bulls, $3.50 to $40.
HOGS.-Today's opening basis was
the highest of the year to date, best
light hogs realizing $3.50 crest, with
various weights and grades selling in
line with the following quotations.:
Bulk of the 100 to 220 pounds, $16.-
so to $3.50; 230 to 260 pounds, $15.-
rs to $16.40; 260 pounds and up, SIS
to $15.75. IONS 5e,a
Pigs 100 to $50 pounds, $3.50 to
$3.50; so to ITO, $14 to $1525; 80
pounds down, $40 to $3.50. Packers,
$3.50 to $12.75.
After indicating such healthy at
titude at the opening the close of the
trade was just the direct reverse, Of
ferings of all kinds being hard to move
at general decline of 25c to 40c,
most of this loss being on the light
weight hogs, with late top at $3.50.
Prospects look favorable provided re-
ceipts do not become burdensome.
SHEEP The only particular,
change to note in this department
compared with a week ago has been an
improvement Of 25c per cwt, on clip
ped lambs, which are proving the
most popular sellers at this writing.
However, all varieties are in good de-
mand and move readily at the prices.
Good to choice wool lambs, $1.25 to
$20.25; medium wool lambs, $18 to
$40; good to choice clipped lambs,
SIPS, to $18; feeding lambs, SIC to
SIT; culls, S12 to SIS; fat sheep, $13.-
rs to SLABS; choppers, So to $40; can
ners, SIS to $3.50.

Poor Pay for
Hello" Girls

IfbThere is still more or less complaint
of poor service among the users Of the
Pennington telephone service. Such
service has caused The Times to make
an investigation, in an attempt to dis
cover reasons, if any such reasons ex-
list, for such alleged poor, or insuffi-
cient, service.
Such findings indicate that the num-
Der of girls employed there are insult
ficient for the proper care of the many
telephone users in this community
there being but four girls there to at
tend to the public wants during the
various shifts of twenty-four hour
day. Also that the prices paid to the
operators are entirely insufficient to
expect efficient service from them,
as they receive only $40 week for
their services, which is not sufficient
to sustain life in these days of high
living cost. The facts are that these
girls, all Of them we believe, are priv
LEGGED to stay at home, which is their
only way of overcoming any deficit
that may occur in their living eXpens-
es, and is the one reason why they
can work for such abnormally small
wages.
The Pennington telephone system
is paying business. 1t has been per-
mitted to advance its rates, owing to
the great increase in the higher cost
of material and supplies, and yet this
company has apparently failed to ad-
vance the wages of their operators
whose services, certainly entitle them
to living wages. Is it right to permit
this condition of affairs to continue ?
These girls should be properly remun-
Grated for their services.

HOW ANCIENT EGYPT MAY
HAVE BUILT IT'S PYRAMIDS

Much of mystery has always over
hung the Great Pyramid-a struc'
ture so stupendous that the building
of it in a primitive age, when no ma
chinery was available, must, it is of.
ten asserted, have been accomplished
by the use of mechanical powers now
unknown.
The Pyramid of Cheops-tne only
one that remains of the famous seven
wonders of the worlds the largest
work of mans hands on the globe
Originally 4S1 feet high, it covers al
most fourteen acres and contains So
million cubic feet of solid masonry.
But the mystery in relation to it
has been swept away by recent scien-
tific inquiry. In these days, helped
by modern machinery, one-tenth as
many men as Cheops employed could
duplicate the structure in less than
half the number of years. The great
Pyramid is on the west bank of the
Nile, across the river from Cairo. Ten
miles further upstream, near the
east bank, are the quarries of Turra,
which yield to this day fine white
limestone highly suitable for building
purposes. 1t was from these quarries
that the blocks of the pyramid were
cut, to be thereupon loaded on RATS
and floated down the river.
Lacking better means the quarry
men got out the blocks by cutting
deep grooves in the rock, inserting
big wooden pegs, the swelling of which
split the limestone neatly. The hard
est rocks may be dealt with effectively
by this means; with limestone it was
easy.
The blocks weighed from ten to
twenty tons apiece. On each of them
projections, or "legs" were left for
the attachment of ropes. Man-pow-
er was depended upon for hauling
the big pieces of cut stone overland
and the first thing necessary was to
load the block upon a sled, with the
help of rollers. Then it could be
dragged aong by hundreds of toilers
who manned the ropes, while "boost-
ed" from behind with levers.
Transported by this means to the
river bank, the stone block was pulled
and pushed upon raft, which floated
it down the Nile ten miles to the place
of debarkation. There it was hauled
off the raft, loaded again upon sled
and conveyed, in the same way as be-
fore, to the site of the pyramid.
II is believed likely the work Of
cutting and shaping the blocks was
carried on while they were actually
in transit by the workmen, who,
perched upon them, could use their
tools to excellent advantage, pecking
with stone hammers, chopping with
chisels of fire-hardened bronze, and
giving a final polish with smooth
stones and sand. Incidental to these
operations they could get rid of
enough weight to compensate for the
extra load which they themselves
made, and great deal of time was
saved. tNatr snA
/, 1t was royal tomb in which Cheops
himself was doubtless laid to rest.
One of its chambers, below the level
of the Nile, contains an empty sarco-
phagus which probably once held that
mummy. But the cham
bers have been rifed repeatedly in
centuries gone by. ,,s9
1t is estimated about thirty years
were required to build the Great Pyr-
amid and that one hundred thousand
men may have been employed In Its
,onstruction.--K. G. Star.
