TORMENTED WORKERS
WELCOME. DEATH
(By the Federated press)

Bombay, India-British troops in
India called into service to break the
strike of 100000 Indian cotton work.
ers in Bombay, have fired upon peace
full gatherings of workers, causing
many casualties.
The strike started the first of Jan
uary and has continued undated. All
the mills in the city are closed. The
strikers demand an increase in
wages. The average wage Of skilled
workers in the cotton mills of Bonn
bay range from $4.40 a month. Un-
skilled workers receive still less.
In cotton mills the workers are
often employed as many as II and
18 hours a day. In Bombay the work.
ers work for II hours or more.
The factories in which the mill
hands work are without any sanitary
or health provisions. There is no
ventilation.
The present Bombay strike is a
repetition of a strike which occurred
six months ago, the characteristic Of
which was passive resistance. 1t was
only when British troops fired upon
the meetings, killing and wounding
large numbers, that any disturbance
occurred.

Ballad of a Farmerette

On the bum, Old Montana has been,
And the settlers look sort O. blue,
But before things as bad, we have seen
Nor is this mess anything new.
Even business men look kind O. sad
The business? Yes, downward it goes!
Yet ever anon you find one who is glad
Tho conditions give life to his woes.
All, friends! Some advice l would give
to you all:
Cheer up, for the worst is to come.
The worst will come when men get
To defend their own dear ones and
home.
God save us from Boshevik leaders so
And grant that we always be true
To Freedoms ideals-not Hopper
Gang graft
And up hold the Red, White and Blue.
Our dear Uncle Sam may have faults,
that is true,
But still, We have all had a chance
He babe us all welcome, not only d
Whether We came from Holland or
France,
From Denmark or Russia or England
or Spain,--
Didn't make any difference to Sam!
But, Friends, have you noticed the
Farmer today
How he work to help Uncle along!
So hurry, join in, and Big Biz, we will
STAY,
Then all will 20 smooth as song.
Of Jonah the Prophet, you no doubt
were told,
And maybe it moved you to tears,-
But if big Biz" swallows you,-lo
and behold,
You may not "see land" for millions
of years.
Our poor author, Lundberg, sure gives
US a pain,
We all feel so sorry for him
His Maker neglected to give him
some brain
He fights in a darkness that's black
er than night,
And imagines that he's quite man;
In the dark he sees ghosts, and
squeals with alright,
Let US help him along if we can!
He yet could be organized, and be in
our flock,
And be Of some good,-so we hope
But if he takes on, like a demented
"block,"
Let him struggle,-we1l give him
more rope.

"What a beautiful creature!" ex-
claimed a farm visitor, indicating a
gorgeous yellow butterfly which. had
alighted upon q nearby shrub and now
raised and lowered his black-edged
wings in slow, graceful palpitations.
The insect appeared to be the very
spirit of the hot summer day; his col
liant sunshine and the deepest, black
est shadow, set in a delightful con-
trast; and it's will was the will of the
hreeze that stirred the broad alfalfa
meadows beyond. the garden, where
host and guest had retired to enjoy
the shade. FsI
Appreciation Dampened.
"Beautful-yes," responded the
rancher, but my appreciation is some
what dampened by the knowledge that
the pretty creature costs the alfalfa
growers of Arizona and California
about 100000 year. What this
butterfly costs in other states-kan-
sas, Oklahoma, Texas and others
I'm unable to say, but it must be an
immense sum. Rather high price to
pay for beauty, isn't it? We could
endow a good many art galleries with
that sum: we could beautify our
schools and hang Rembrandts In
every classroom, if there were enough
of them to 60 around. We could bring
thousands of the city children out
into the fresh air and sunshine. If we
had the price of that yellow fellow

"How does he accomplish all this?"
asked the interested listener. tits a
harsh indictment to lay against crea-
ture so apparently lacking in malice.
Tell me about him; where does he
come from; how does he live, and
what are his peculiarities"
The rancher rose, stepped through
the hedge, and came back with hand
full of alfalfa, freshly pulled from the
nearby field.
"You can find out all you wish to
know from Farmers Bulletin 1904,
just published by the United States
department of agriculture, but think
we have his life history and cata-
logue of his crimes in this bunch of
heritage.
Here's the egg" he continued, in
dicating a tiny, brownish, elongated
object upon the upper side of an al
falfa leaf. That's the first stage,
and is interesting only because the
female butterfly lays from 200 to 500
of them in her lifetime. 1t has been
estimated that if all the eggs Of a
single female butterfly hatched-and
there were no losses in the progeny
or in their eggs or young-this first
butterfly would be grandmother to
3,OOOOOO,OOO insects before the end OF
the summer.
Fortunately for us an insect para.

Alfalfa caterpiIlar-Femaie in Adult
or Butterfly Stage.
Here's ruined egg-it's black, you
see, instead of brown; the parasite
has been there.
MilIion-D Dollar Damage.
"Next is the larva. or worm stage;
and it is this form that the alfalfa
caterpillar does ,he million-dollar
damage. A number of these worms
will strip most Of the leaves from a
crop in q very short time. Here is Q
small worm evidently just Matched,
and here on this bud is a larger one.
Note the green color Of its body and
the white stripe down each side. He
is nearly an inch long and has made
his growth by gorging upon the tender
leaves and terminal buds of my al
falfa. Wherever there is an unusual
~ large number of these worms, they
will eat the stems, too, but their IA
vorite food is the tender portion of
the plant.
''While in this stage, the larva is vic
tim Of many conditions and is preyed
upon by many creatures. A fly lays
its eggs upon the worm. These hatch
into grubs which penetrate and kill
their host. Chickens, turkeys and
many birds destroy the worm during
the feeding stage.
Moisture and a hot, heavy atmos-
phere will induce the spread of a dis
ease among the worms. See, here are
worms just afflicted with the disease
note the lighter color Of their skins
and their sluggish movements. In a
few hours they'll die and decompose
into black decaying mass. You can
understand why alfalfa hay loses its
feeding value If 1t Is heavily impreg-

lNFEsTATIoN OF HEssIAN FLY
A. Result OF Many Wheat Growers
Planting Too Early Last Fall
Outbreak Is Likely.

A shortage Of farm labor and un-
favorable weather conditions at plant
ing time combined to influence many
wheat growers in planting their grain
too early last fall. This has resulted
in a heavy infestation Of Hessian fly
in about all OF the early planted wheat
of last fall.
Unless winter wheat growers can
be induced to unite in concerted
movement to observe the approved
methods of combating the Hessian fly
during the summer and fall of 1920,
1t seems that disastrous general out
break Of the pest very probably will
occur in 1921. -s

mated with these cOrpses-the ami
mails don't like the flavor.
But the conditions that foster this
disease are valuable in controlling the
pest. Upon irrigated farms, water may
be turned into the field to provide
moisture which, with the heat, will
start the plague and kill the worms.
From this stage the worm enters
the pupa period. He spins no cocoon,
as many caterpillars do, but hangs
himself, head up. among the stems and
swings in a little loop Of silk, like
steeple- jack-see this chapl
you've heard Of the bollworm-so
Injurious to corn and cotton? He
comes to our aid in the fight against
the alfalfa caterpillar, and, by one of
those queer natural compensations,
does us favor by devouring both
worms and pupa. Odd. isn't it?
Lay Eggs All Summer.
unless the worm is destroyed, the
butterfly you have admired energies
from the pupa in a few days and be-
gins to lay eggs to establish new
cycle. This goes on all summer.
Control Is accomplished by cutting
alfalfa close and clean. We clear out
our fence corners and bitches, and CO.
operate with our neighbors in clearing
their land. This leaves no shelter for
the caterpillar to live in from one al
falfa crop to the next, and the few
which do survive find food mighty
scarce, and many perish of starvation.
"Disking with harrow over the
meadows after crop has been moved

worm or pupa stage. Besides killing

the insects which are preparing to
ravage the next crop, the disking
process, as every one knows, is
mighty good thing for the alfalfa.
1--WE also use a brush drag well
weighted and run it over the alfalfa
meadows after the disking is done. The
drag gets into the hollows and crevices
where the harrow has not touched and
brushes the insect in whatever stage it
finds him. Even If the first cut has
been ruined by the pest, these methods
Of irrigation and cultivation will insure
the reduction Of the caterpillar in time
