break in this mi than it is to
stamp out the infestation once it is full
ly developed. The Hessian fly, SO de-
structive to wheat, is one of the in
|sects that can hardly be eradicated
once it is established in the crop. Fall
blowing is recommended because it
breaks up the soil and destroys the
grubs and pupae Of many insects by
exposing them to the sun and air.
Farmers Bulletin 1886, prepared by
the bureau Of entomology, tells how
to control the most common and dan

enemies. 1t gives briefly the life his
tories of the Hessian fly, army worm,
cutworms, grasshoppers, white grubs,
billbugs, corn-root aphis and wire
worms, with authoritative data de-
scribing the characteristics Of each
pest and the best practical remedies
for control. The bureau advises the
grain farmer to pillow in the fall, If pos
sible; to keep a supply Of insecticides
and a spraying outfit on hand; to
watch the crops carefully for an out
break, and to report all outbreaks to
the county farm adviser, or direct to

LAUNCH VAST EFFORT
FOR EUROPE'S YOUNG
Eight American Relief Agencies
Combine to Save 100000
Children Death Menaces.

Eight great relief organizations,
working among and for every race and
creed, have united under the name Of
the European Relief Council to CO.
ordinate child relief in Europe this
winter. The Council will seek to pro-
vide funds for 100000 starving and
diseased children in Eastern and Cen
trail Europe and to administer this
relief economically.
1t consists of Herbert Hoover, chair
man, and Franklin K. Lane, treas
urer; Edgar Richard, representing the
American Relief Administration; DR..
Livingston Farrand, representing the
American Red Cross; Felix Warburg,
representing the Jewish Joint Distri-
button Committee; Wilbur K. Thomas,
representing the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers) ; James
A. Flaherty, representing the Knights
Of Columbus; DR.. G. V. Hubbard, repre-
senting the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION; Miss Sarah S. Lyon, repre-
senting the Young Women's Christian
Association; DR.. Arthur Brown, repre-
senting the Federal Council Of Church
es Of Christ in America.
It is the purpose Of the Council to
raise $33, 10000, in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the desperate situation re-
,garding child life may be met. In
every town and community Of the ma
ton, it is planned, local committees,
representing all the cooperating agen-
cies will be formed to secure the vi
tally necessary funds. OF the amount
sought, $29,O00,O00 will be used for
basic food and $10,O00,000 for medical
service.
For every one of these American
dollars the local governments and
communities aided will furnish two
dollars, in the form Of transportation,
labor, guards, clerical help, cash con
tributions and such food supplies as
are locally obtainable. No children
receive the free food except after
medical tests showing them to be seri-
ously undernourished. The remaining
$40, 100000 Of the fund is Just as
urgently needed for medical service to
the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising Of the child saving fund
1t will, with the inspecting ferces Of
eight great agencies, keep a constant
eye on the administration Of Amer.

shall be nc wastage and no tendehaS
toward pauperization.
"This is the largest cooperative be
nevolent organization ever attempted
in the United States" Mr.. Heevel
says. 1.-THE Organizations represented
have come to the unanimous, Though
independently formed conclusion, that
nothing but prompt and united action
by the whole American people can
avert incredible tragedy for the help.
less children involved. The organiza.
lions forming the Council will organ.
lie their representatives in every
town and community Of the nation
for the raising Of the necessary funds"

BALING MACHINE is USEFUL
Farmer or Raneher Is Advised to In.

of Hay Crop.

Hay as a cash crop has been excep-
tionally profitable for the past two
years. AS it is likely to remain so for
several years to come, the farmer or
rancher with a surplus of hay should
find a baling machine a good invest
ment.
A baler, used at odd times when
other work is not pressing, makes an
ideal implement for %neighborly CO.

FORMATION OF GAS IN slLO
Good Way to Determine Its Presence
Is by Lowering Lighted Lantern
Into the Pit.

Gas may form in a silo at the time
of filling and for a week or so after
wards. This gas is heavier than air
and so will settle in the silo. A good
way to determine if there is gas in a
silo is to lower a lighted lantern. If
it goes out, it will not be safe to go
into the silo.

TO the north and south Of US, DEM
ocratic candidates for Congress are
making appeals for the favor Of those
who oppose the prohibition laws now
in effect. In the seventh Virginia
district Col. Robert F. Leedy, OF Luray,
is making vigorous campaign against
Hon. Thomas w. Harrison, the present
incumbent. II Mr.. Leedy's speeches
are correctly reported, he is making
specially Of denunciation OF the
State and national prohibition laws
and reflections against those who ad-
vocate dry conditions. He appears
to think that prohibitonists are as a
class hypocrites, and he is catering
with cheap wit TO those who delight in
aspersing men who have been active
in temperance work. One OF his fav-
orite stunts is proving that wine bib
bing is sustained by the Scriptures. His
speeches seem 10 touch lightly on
other questions OF importance-ap-
parently he is obsessed with the in
EQUITY of taking from the people their
right to guzzle.
In the sixth Maryland district Frank
w. Mish, Of Hagerstown, who will
have no opposition for the Democratic
nomination for Congress, expresses
his belief that the Volstead prohibition
law is too stringent, though ne states
that he will make every effort to as
certain the wishes of his constituents
in regard TO the measure. Mr.. Mish is
an able man and we regret to note that
he cannot come out strongly in defense
Of the prohibition enactment that is
now the law Of the land.
Ii appears to us that there is but one
course for the temperance people to
take, and that is to support for Con
gresS, irrespective of party affiliations,
only those men who will stand by the
prohibition amendment and be firm
for its enforcement.
This amendments the expressed will
OF the people, for as of the AZ States
ratified il. So far as we are concerned.
we are utterly against those who would
nulify it before it has been given a
fair chance. No party allegiance
should induce those who conscientious
ly believe in prohibition to vote for
the men who Md destroy it or pre-
vent its enforcement.
There are mighty few newspapers
that are resisting the present insidious
attempts to bring back the saloons.
The Register proposes to stand by the
principles it has been advocating for
nearly forty years.
