VEGETABLES REQUIRE
PROPER VENTILATION
Plan Outlined for Securing This

Lacking Essential Can Be Overcome
by Providing Air Duct of Wood,
Metal or Terra Gotta, Fitted
in One of the Windows.

1t is necessary to have good venti-
lation if food and vegetables are to be
kept safely in storage. In many cell
lars under dwellings the lack of venti-
lation is the only essential that Is
lacking. However. this can usually be
easily overcome by providing an air
duct constructed of wood, metal or
terra Gotta, which. fitted in one of the
windows, is desirable. as 1t permits
the cool air to enter at the bottom of
the room. Two or more joints of g.
inch stovepipe, one with a damper,
and an elbow may be used. A piece
of board with a hole the size of the
pipe is fitted in the window in place
of one of the panes Of glass. Another
pane of glass may be removed from

the sash and small hinged door fitted
in its place, which when open allows
the heated air to escape. In cold
weather both the hinged door and the
damper In the stoveplpe must be
closed. The windows In the storage
room should be darkened In order to
protect the vegetables from the light.
Barrels, crates, boxes, or bins may
be used as containers for the various
vegetables, but movable containers are
preferable to buiIt-in bins. as 1t is
possible to remove them FOR cleaning
1t is advisable to construct shelves or
a slat floor to keep the crates, boxes,
baskets, and other containers off the
ground. This Is highly desirable TO in
sure a free circulation of air and to
prevent the containers from harboring
mice, rats, and other vermin. The
shelves for canned goods along one
side of the room need not be more
than 6 inches wide.

Warning messages from Missouri,

somewhat farther north IN Indiana.
The spring flight Of the bug continued

for that reason the infestation has

GREEN MANURES AND ACiDlTY
Decided Benefit Obtained in Virginia
Experiments by Turning Under
Green Crops.

The blowing under of green crops
does not result in any permanent in
crease of soil acidity as commonly
supposed. There may be a slight in
crease for possibly a week or two aft
err turning under a green manure, but
the net result is a decrease. Virginia
experiments support these statements
and show decided benefit from the
practice of turning under green crops.
A Rhode Island farmer, Horace w.
Tinkham, says one crop is as good as
another. rye giving as beneficial re-
suits as clover.

Where Bugs Hibernate.
The bureau of entomology offers the
following Information: The chinch
bugs spend the winter in clumps of
bunch grass and under dead leaves
and rubbish. In the spring they
emerge and fly to fields of young
wheat, where they lay their eggs on
the root tops and stems. When the
wheat commences to ripen and dry.
the young bugs leave the wheat fields
in armies and walk-for most of them
cannot fiy-tO the cornfields, where
they do the greatest damage.
The fact that they make the migra-
ton from the wheat to the corn by
walking gives the farmer his oppor-
tunity to check the invasion by pour
ing road oil along the bottom of a
shallow furrow dug across the line of
march. Deep holes should be dug
every % feet along the furrow on the
tide nearest the wheat to trap the
hugs.

vigilance of his senses. To him the
trail Of the raiders would be as plain
as the printed page of an open book
to her.
And while she hoped there came
through the dark jungle another. Ter
rified by night and BY day came Albert
Werper. A dozen times he had
escaped the claws and fangs of the
giant carnivora only by what seemed a
more than knife he had brought with
him from Opar. he had made his way
through as savage a country as yet
exists upon the face Of the globe.
BY night he had slept In trees. By
day he had stumbled fearfully on,
often taking refuge among the
branches when sight or sound of some
great cat warned him of danger.
But at last he had come within sight
of the palisade behind which were his
fierce companions.
At almost the same time Mugambi
came out of the jungle before the
walled village. As he stood in the
shadow Of great tree, reconnoitering,
he saw a man, ragged and disheveled,

emerge from the jungle almost at his
elbow. Instantly he recognized the
newcomer as he who had been guest
Of his master before the latter had
departed for Opar.
The black was upon the point Of
hailing the Belgian when something
stayed him. He saw the white man
walking confidently across the clear
ing toward the village gate. No sane
man thus approached a village in this
part of Africa unless he was sure
Of a friendly welcome. Mugambi
waited. His suspicious were aroused.
He heard Werper halloo; he saw the
gates swing open. and he witnessed
the surprised and friendly welcome
that was accorded the erstwhile guest
Of Lord and Lady Greystoke. A light
broke upon the understanding of Mu-
gambi. This white man had been a
traitor and a spy. 1t was to him they
owed the raid during the absence of
the Great Bwana. To his hate for the
Arabs Mugambi added a still greater
hate for the white spy.
Within the village Werper passed
hurriedly toward the silken tent Of
Achmet Eek. The Arab arose as his
lieutenant entered. His face showed
surprise as he viewed the tattered ap-
parel of the Belgian.
"What has happenedT he asked.
Werper narrated all, save the little
matter of the pouch of gems which
were now tightly strapped about his
waist, beneath his clothing. The
Arabs eyes narrowed greedily as his
henchman described the treasure that
the Waziri had buried beside the ru-
ms of the Greystoke bungalow.
"It will be a simple matter now to
return and get it." said Achmet Eek.
"First we will await the coming of
the rash Waziri, and after we have
slain them we may take our time to
get the treasure-none will disturb 1t
where 1t lies, for we have left none
alive who knows of its existence"
"And the woman?' asked Werper.
Il shall sell her in the north" re-
piled the raider. "It is the only way
now. She should bring a good price"
The Belgian nodded. He was think
ing rapidly. If he could persuade
Achmet Eek to send him in command
of the party which took Lady Grey
stoke north it would give him the op-
portunity he craved to make his
escape from his chief. He would fore
go a share of the gold if he could but
get away unscathed with the jewels.
"Who will go north with the wom-
an" he asked, while we are return

Mugambi, weak and suffering, had

trail of the retreating raiders. He
could move but slowly, resting often

his task. As the days passed his
wounds healed and his strength re-

Werper recognized the party immedi-
ately as that which had accompanied
Tarzan on his journey to Opar. He
glanced at the ape-man; but in the
savage, watchful eyes he saw no rec
ognition of Basuli and those other
loyal Waziri.
When all had passed Tarzan rose
and emerged from concealment. He
turned to Werper.

he had welcomed the sight Of them
returning toward the Greystoke bun

doubts as to his ability to retrace his

he knew, had not the remotest idea
Of whittier they were going. By keep

warriors they would have no difficulty
in following them home.
He argued with the ape-man, there

prevailed upon Tarzan to follow them
in peace, saying he was sure they
would lead them out Of the forest into

who went down. Corbett was up in
