JAPAN DEVELOPING
NEW CLOTH FIBRE.

Unless commercial difficulties arise
it appears that certain kelp, or sea
grass furnishes an, ideal fibre for mix
ing with cotton to produce nearly
every kind OF cloth now used in such
tremendous quantities in the Far
East.
The grass grows in great quanti-
ties along the rocky shores of Japan,
and runs from narrow strips to three
feet in width and is often found in
sixteen foot lengths The most plenti-
full supply is found in from twenty
FIVE to thirty feet of water at low tide.
The kelp is now being used by a pro-
cess upon which patent was granted
in 1918.
Cloth produced from the new fibre
mixed with cotton has a pleasing
gloss and takes dye better than pure
cotton. Threads made of the COM
bination are much stronger than pure
cotton threads and far more durable,
as has been proved by making some
of it into fish nets which have lasted
surprisingly long time. Experiments
have proved that this combination
produces splendid material for sum-
mer clothes and shirtings, especially
imitation pongee The fibre also pro-
duces a splendid paper

One OF Oldest And Most Destruc-
etive Enemies to Wheat Crop
Is Here.

The Hessian fly, one of the oldest
and at times one Of the most destruc.
tive enemies of the wheat crop in the
United States, is again on the in.
crease. Specialists of the United Stat
es Department of Agriculture make
the following suggestions for com
batting the test;
Practice crop rotation Do not SOW
wheat on stubble il il is possible to
avoid doing so.
Plow under all infested stubble and
ruined wheat, where practicable, soon
after harvest
Destroy all volunteer wheA by har-
rowing. disking, blowing, or some
other method
Plow all land to be sown to wheat
as early and deeply as existing condi-
tons permit, and prepare thoroughly
pulverized and compacted seed bed.
Conserve moisture against a period
of drought at seeding time.
Use good seed.
Fertilize
Sow wheat during the fy-free per-
iod, as advised by your farm advisor
or State experiment station. a
Adhere to these practices every
year, whether the fly is abundant or
scarce. They will help to keep it
scarce.

step IS to provide automatic means
for loading them into sacks. An Ohio
inventor has just developed such a
mechanism, in the shape Of three
wheeled trailer which attaches to the
back of the digger, according to an
illustrated article in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine for July. The front
wheel has a caster mounting, enab-
ling il to follow the digger in turning

from the conveyor OF the digger The
sacks are hung on four hooks at the
