How A Big Wheat Crop
Was Grown.

Fine fields u wheat have been few
aud far between this season. 80 when
learned that Mr. \. ' Hardin. ~
oldham County Ny. had thirty acres
which were a joy 90 the eye. ! grab
heu ry camera and went out TO in

when saw III. field. about the
| middle ~ July. the wheat was in the
shock. The bundles were long. Of
tine color and heavy with weli-hlled
| heads As we walked over the field
! inspecting the wheat. Mr. Hardin
answered questions, offered sugges-
tons and chaited a. only an enthusi-
astic farmer can cha, about his soil
and he crops he grows on u. He IN
4 formed me tina, a seed house had

agreed 20 take the grain a soon as

crop for this little story. ] got Mr..
Hardin to promise me full state

lowing Information;
"The field ~ whea, which you Wis

TO PUT IN YOUR COOK BOOK

While the amount of ice cream and
other ices eaten in restaurants and ice
cream parlors has enormously In
creased within the past few years. fai
less ice cream is packed at the Ice
cream producers and delivered to pri-
vate houses. This is due to the enor-
mously increased cost of ice cream so
delivered. Many concerns that for,
merly wer willing to send it packed
in this way have actually given up
this end OF their business and those
that continue have fewer orders be-
cause of the great advance in price;
And though many housewives still
make ice cream at home the increased
cost of ice and the high price of cream
make this less interesting than it was
some years ago.
Meantime there are some desserts
that can be made at home which,
though they are not actually frozen.
may Ibe made very cold If kept near
the lie for some time before serving,
and Aey prove almost as welcome on

Inquiry Saves Paper


A single page leaflet, entitled sNew
Light on the Forestry Question:" car
rying the announcement OF two new
publications by the United States De.
partment- of Agriculture has been
mailed to several thousand persons
commonly interested In Department
of Agriculture activities. This method
of determining what persons will be
glad to receive publications about to
be issued in accord with the policy
of the department which endeavors
to limit the number of copies of bui-
letins, circulars, etc, distributed to
persons who believe they will be di.
lrectly benefited by them.
This particular leaflet calls atten-
ton to the full report on forestry con-
ditions in this country which the For
est Service has prepared in response
to a resolution passed by the Senate.
It also states that a summary of this
report in the form of department
bulletin has been prepared This lat
er can be had free by addressing a re-
uest to the United States Department
|of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
while the former-which is much
more exhaustive and in addition to
general facts, contains large amount
( information relating particularly to
Individual wood-using industries can
be obtained for Is cents per copy
stamps not accepted) by sending the
same to the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Government Printing Office,
Washington, D. G. Both of these pub
LEGATIONS contain startling evidence AS
to the forest depletion which is going
on in this counary at an increasingly
rapid rate. They also set forth the
program which the Forest Service is
advocating as the only practical means
Of remedying the present evil.

Sun Fire Throws
Gigantic Flames

There was recently the biggest dis
turbances on the sun that astronomers
have ever happend to observe. 1t
seems to have been an enormous erup-
ton, during which masses of flames
were thrown to height of hundreds
of thousands of miles!
A gigantic arch of fire, spanning a
large section of the SUMS. edge Gas
seen through the telescope), rose. up
held as it were, by two columns. one
at each end Riding still higher, it
finally broke, assuming thereupon
supiral form. The arch was at least
100000 miles high, and lasted four
months before it disappeared.
Another eruption of flame, which
attained a height Of 3oo,eee miles, oc-
urring soon gfterward, stretched like
rubber band, the middle part rising
rapidly and the sides strengthening
so as to form almost an isssceles tri-
angle.

The Bedbug

90 "a a q
| II is no disgrace to have bedbugs
but it is sign of Indifference or care
lessness to maintain this disgusting
human parasite in the home. 1t is net
generally known among housekeepers
that this little s'beggar'' win migrate
from one house to another, passing
through cracks in walls or along the
water pipes or cutters. Migration
from an infested house is sure to hap
pen If the human occupants leave.
During the day these pests hide in
all sorts of places; in the cracks Of the
floors, under washboards, and wan
paper, in the walls, and where wooden
beds are used they can be found in
the cracks and under the stats.
The activity of bedbugs is regulated
by the food supply They feed OK
clusively upon human blood. They
can go long periods without food.
Carefully conducted experiments have
proven that adults can live from 81
to 316 days without food Even newly
Matched bedbugs live II to AZ days
without any food whatever.
The most effective method of con-
trolling the bedbug provided the in
tested building is isolated, is to fumi-
gate with hydrocyanic acid gas. 1t is
deadly poison and must be handled
carefully by an experienced person. A
bulletin upon household fumigation by
this gas will be~sent upon request.
A safe and effective remedy is heat.
If the temperature of a building in
tested with bedbugs is raised for 1876
degrees Fair, and that temperature
maintained for twelve hours there will
not be live bug left in the building,
and the eggs will also have been killed.
The heat will be far more effective
If there is high humidity. In steam
heated houses this can be easily pro-
duced by opening the air-cocks in the
radiators.
For further information regarding
household pests direct questions to
the Bureau of Plant Industry Pennsyl
vania Department of Agriculture,
Harrisburg.

Cupid Sleeping

(From the Greek of Plato)
Through a shady forest going
Found we cupid, all alone,
And his cheeks, so smoothly glowing,
Like to golden apples shone.
He had not his CULVER by him,
Nor his bow, well-bent and strung,
But we soon espied them nigh him
Midst the leafy branches hung.
Chains of sleep his limbs encountered,
While among the flowers they lay,
Smiling, even when he slumbered,
In his cruel, rogtdsh way.
Swarms OF tawny bees come flying
Az about his waxen lip
Often thus one sees them trying
Flowers. that with honey drip!
