PLANS OF WORK FOR
CONTROL OF BEETLE
Quarantine Against Insect viii
Be RigidIy Enforced.
Poisoning With Sodium cyanid In Wa
ter Will Be Practiced on Soils Bad
Iy Infested With Larvae or
Grubs-Nets to Be Used.

At recent conference Of officials OF
the United States department OF agri-
culture and the New Jersey depart
ment of agriculture. held at Riyerton,
plans of work for the control and sup
preston of the japanese beetle were
thoroughly gone into. Provision has
been made thoroughly TO inspect and
certify products found free from the
insect, including greenhouse and
nursery stocks, fruits, vegetables and
farm crops. While the quarantine
will be rigidly enforced, it is believed
that no serious interruption will result
to the movement of most farm and
other products from the infested ter.
ritory. In control of the beetle, sew
eral methods of attack will be fol-
lowed. Poisoning with sodium cyanid
In water of such soils as are badly in
tested with the larvae or grubs will be
practiced. Several million beetles, 1t
is believed. can be captured by sweep.
Ing infested plants with nets. A band
of vegetation from one-half to one
mile Wide surrounding the Infested
area will be kept thoroughly poisoned
with Insecticides sprayed or busted on
the plants. To prevent accidental
carriage of the beetles on automobiles
and other vehicles and on pedestrians.
the roadways have been cleared, by
grubbing and burning of food plants
of the beetle. The weed food plants
will be kept down by the use of large
quantities of weed-killlng chemicals.
Attention Is being given to the intro
ductIon of parasites of the beetle from
Japan. An agent of the bureau of
entomology is already In Japan. en-
gagged upon the work.
The officials connected with this
project believe that the operations of
1920 will pretty definitely indicate
what can he expected from large-scale
operations In suppression Of the beetle.

TIMOTHY IS LOW IN PROTEIN
One of the Poorest Live Stock Feeds
Farmer Can Grow-Cannot Be
Compared With Alfalfa.

More timothy hay is grown in the
United States than all other hays com.
bned and yet timothy is one of the
poorest livestock feeds that the farm
er can raise. Its value for feeding
purposes cannot be compared with
clover or alfalfa. 1t is low in protein,
the nutrient upon which farmers and
more especially daIrymen must to a
large extent rely for the best returns
from their herds; 1t is not very pala-
table to live stock. except, perhaps,
to horses. and 1t has an undesirable
constipatiDg effect upon all classes of
animals. Furthermore, 1t yields less
than clover or alfalfa. and 1t is fer
tllity destroyer instead of a soil build
er. All things considered, 1t has very
little to commend It.

SAVE OLD FARM MACHINERY
Carefully Inspect Discarded Impie-
ments and Lay Apart Useful
Gears, Braces, Etc.

Farm machinery. when discarded.
should be carefully gone over with
view of saving the parts which have
not been worn and which may be
available for future use on other ma
chimes. or-for other purposes. There
are always many braces, gear wheels.
bolts and nuts that can be used again.
When the machine Is discarded in
stead of hauling 4; 10 an obscure place

and place the usable pieces or parts
In the machine shed. or work shop7

MARKET STATIONS OF VALUE
Branches Reach Out In Every Direc-
ton and Constantly Circulate
News Of Importance.

Market stations maintained by the
bureau of markets, United States de-
partment OF agriculture. in several Of
the leading cities, are well termed
branches" They reach out In every
direction from the central office. Con-
nected by wire and mail service. there
IL constant circulation of vital news,
out and returning. between them and
the office In Washington. The raw
materials. so to speak. are gathered
and worked over to make the market
reports. reviews. and press articles
which are distributed for the benefit
Of the public. The market station man
works from the early stir Of activity
in the market section until the days
stint Is finished. Usually he is man
with considerable technical training
and experience in production or mar
keting.

products produced by larger gardens.
A large number of small exhibits in
stead OF few large ones favor a sue
cessful show. An important point is
TO have the premium list made up
early. preferably before seeds are or
dered. Exhibits should be attractively
staged. the entries for class being
kept together. Both classes and indi-
vidual entries should be plainly and
appropriately labeled.
Helpful Competition.
Vegetable. fruit. and flower gardens
or the home grounds of a community
may be fairly classed and judged
These make most helpful community
competitions.
Token prizes instead OF those OF In
trlnsic value are all that is necessary
for successful competitions.
When the time of the show ap-
proaches the exct date must be fixed,
and this should not be changed. II II
is done 1t may provoke feeling of un-
fairness.
Where competitions of any of the
types discussed in the departments
Circular e. have been held, they have
been found not only to stimulate In
terest in gardening and home adorn-
ment. but even more to get neighbors
acquainted with one another and de-
velop community spirit.
An exhibition requires considerable
effort. but 1t is usually felt to be well
worth while, even by those upon whom
the heaviest burden falls.

HAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY


The experience of Mr.. Z. ]. Tou-
palik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse.
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
l would catch cold and become SO
hoarse / could not speak for six or
eight weeks. l could get only tenn
porary relief.
This winter l was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. BY the time l had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. l am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds. catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating. belching gas, Indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
pE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmcr's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
? An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles OF two sizes
medium and large.
However. if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer Co.. Binghamton. N. Y. for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this papcr-Adv.

 Dr Welch is of the view that little apprehension need be felt over the situation. As indicated in the mes sage of Dr Randie the breakup along the Ydkon will make it practically impossible for the disease to reach us until after the opening of naviga- tion, by which time the epidemic will probably have disappeared, as it us. ually does during the summer months In any event the prospects of it be- ing transmitted to Nome from Fair banks are very slight.
