the future holds much promise for
your friend because it will be in
creasingly difficult and prohibi-
lively expensive for him to con-
tinue his bibulous career. Even
now, if she could control the finan-
cial situation, she could prevent
his sprees. One needs money as
well as persistence for that sort
Of thing now. You are quite right
about the thing forbidden having
additional attractions but in this
particular commodity, the time
will come when even your friends
husband will probably be unable
to acquire his forbidden fruit.
Let me add, on the other side,
that being a beautiful house

woman need aspire to be. l al

proven pretty unsatisfactory at
home. There's his viewpoint to be
considered, you know, and the best

EARLY OUTBREAK OF
HESSlAN FLY LIKELY
Another Invasion Of Pest Is Ex-
pected This Spring.
United States Department Of AoricuI-
ture Has Made Complete Prepar-
stions to Make Number OF
Important Studies.

II is likely that more Will be learn
ed this year about the Hessian ny
than in any year since General Howe's
hired Hessians are supposed to have
brought the pest to Long Island dur
Ing the Revolution. There have been
numerous destructive outbreaks OF the
Hessian fly and great deal has been
found out about it, but nobody was In
position to do the job properly. Az
other outbreak is likely this spring,
and the United States department OF
agriculture is ready for IL.
Two years ago the appropriation FOR
Hessian fly work was increased sur
ificiently to provide for the principal
needs. Shortly afterward the bu-
reau of entomology established three
stations for the purpose Of systematic
study. They are at Carlisle, Pa, Cen
tralia, ILL.,, and Wichita, Kan. Each
station IS equipped with full set OF
weather instruments. and several
readings are taken each day through
out the year. Sowings have been
made at various dates for several
wears TO determine the fiy-free period
for each year. Experiments have
been conducted with many varieties
of wheat to determine their fy-resist.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
BY utilizing the by-products Of
their business and handling them In
large quantities many concerns have
added materially to their profits.
There Is a valuable object lesson in
this to farmers in many parts Of the
country who have not been market
ing the products of their woodlands.
Most farmers have not realized that
timbered areas can be made to yield
a regular Crop" which could be
counted a profitable by-product, If
not principal product-nor do they
appreciate the benefit that would come
through handling the output of the
woodland In such large quantities as
is possible through cooperative pur-
chasing and marketing organizations
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1920-06-24

among the farmers Of the United
States, and forest service experts in
the United States department of ag-
iriculture believe that the principle on
which these associations have sue
ceedcd can be applied to handling
woodland products in many parts Of
the country.
Size Of Associations Interests.
A cooperative association of wood
land owners should represent sufii-
cient stand of timber to provide op-
erations for considerable term Of
years, IL not indefinitely. While 1t
might pay such an organization to
market 100000 feet of lumber-the
product of perhaps 1000 acres of
woodland-such an organization
would be vastly more profitable If its
members were owners of 25OOO,OOO
feet. In any case, the capital invest
ed should be quite definitely limited
by the amount of lumber available
for manufacture.
The kind of forest products to be
marketed will of course vary In differ
ent sections, but in most cases lum-
Der will be the chief product. For
this reason an association should EN-
lploy a competent manager familiar
with the lumber business and one able
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1920-06-24

to grade lumber. He should ia
miliarize himself with the woodland
resources Of association members, and
should know the marketing situation
with respect to lumber and related
products. as this will be factor In
deciding whether existing plants are
sufficient for the associations wood
land products, or II additional equip
ment such as auto trucks. railroad
sidlngs, and machinery are needed.
1t is highly desirable that he have
a working knowledge Of forestry, In
order that he may direct the cutting
of timber in such way that the
stand will be perpetuated.
Use Of Portable sawmili.
A specific illustration of the advan-
tage to be derived from cooperative
effort is found in the use of port
able sawmill. II properly employed
II becomes an exceedingly profitable
investment for group OF woodland
owners. although an individual could
scarcely afford to buy one. The mill
can be moved from one section TO an
other from year to year until practi-
cally the entire area has been cut
over, after which, II sufficient time
has elapsed, a second cutting can be
started.
1t is not necessary to put a large
amount Of money into plant II the
association decides TO arfDnge with
a local mill man to saw the lumber
for its members. In that event Its
main function becomes the shipping

with an individual number. This h
also recorded In the chick index.
When not more than 10 hens are
kept, the toe punch can be used sue
cessfully for Identification purposes.
The punch is made in the web OF the
baby chicks foot. All chicks by the
snme dam are given the same toe

haven't grown together. II Is an excel

out again This usually results In n
permanent mark.
When leg bands are used the chicks
must be looked over frequently to
make sure that the bands are not be-
coming too tight A tight band Will
prevent proper circulation and might
cause fatal injury. Regular inspec-
ton. however. will avoid any such
danger.
Putting Ring In Wing.
When the chick IL about six weeks
old the band Is removed from the leg
and inserted In the wing. To do this,
one of the chickens wings Is spread
and held against the light. A point
is selected about one-fourth OF an
inch from the edge of the wing where
there are no large blood vessels and
with a small penknlfe clean incision
Is made. There will be little or no
bleeding from the wound. One end OF
the band Is slipped through the hole
and the ends are brought together.
II there is no fastening the ends are
simply Tapped. The ring should not

fants, young children and animals
frequently suffer, especially in warm
weather, for want of water, not being
able TO make their want known.
Plenty of water taken into the sys-
TEN is an absolute necessity for TIE
literal washing out of waste materials
from the blood. Professor Etherldge
in discussing the medical value of wa
ter says:
Gold water drunk in quantities In
the evening will dissolve and flush
blood impurities which. producing
cerebral irritation by their frictional
contact in their passage through the
capillaries, thus causing insomnia and
nervousness, now find their way out
of the body through the kidneys"
The loudly heralded diuretlc proper
ties of various mineral springs are
chiefly due TO the fact that water is
taken there In such large quantities.
1t is popular belief that water IL

derstood, for 1t Is the medium for con-
veying material to all parts OF the
body and for removing waste prod
ucts. Hence those who drink water
freely must have the nutrltive material
best distributed throughout their
bodies and the waste products most
quickly thrown Off.
The question of drinking water

raised, many claiming that II dilutes

"The Industries which this depart

had manifested.
