BAND TREES AGAINST MOTH

Effective Trap.

When the number of worms in an
orchard has been reduced to less than

greater ,uan this, the loose bark and
scales. should be carefully scraped
from the trunks Of the trees and bands
placed around them within a month
from the time Of the first spraying
These bands should be thick enough
SO that they shut out the light and
should be large enough to afford con-
siderable surface under which the
worms may hide They should be
drawn tight across the top and left
loose at the bottom as the cOdling
moth in coming down to seek a hid
ing place, always looks for a place
that is open below and protected
above, so that the water running down
the trunk Of the tree will not drown
him out.
The most successful band that the
writer has ever used was made Of
gunny sacklng purchased from the fur

folded over four inches from one edge

CHEESE NOT HARD TO DIGEST
Commonly Regarded as an Appetizer
and seasonlns--Very Satisfactory
Meat Substitute.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Cheese is commonly regarded as an
appetizer and a seasoning for other
foods, but it is also very satisfactory
substitute for meat. It is rich In pro-
TEN and energy, and contrary to pre-
vailing impression, it is easily digested.
Extensive digestion experiments car
ried on by the department Of agricul-
ture have demonstrated that more
than 95 per cent Of the protein of
cheese is dlgestible and 80 per cent
Of its energy is available. AS compared
with meat it has advantage of being
able to keep long in storage and con-
tains much food in small volume
A pound Of cheese supplies more than
twice as much energy as a pound OF
fowl or round steak, and almost twice
as much protein as the same amount
of fowl or ham. Cheese, therefore, Is
usually cheaper food than the meats

SHOPPING WISDOM

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Go shopping with definite purpose
do not be lured into purchases which
you have not planned.
Choose slowly and thoughtfully.
Learn to recognize quality. A re,
liable salesman will help you in this.
Do not expect great savings from
the bargain counter unless you are a
good judge of materials.
Choose good materials for things
that will get hard wear.
Avoid novelties and fads in design
and color. They soon become tire
some and the price usually protects
the merchant against loss from left
over stock.
Reckon in advance how much ma
terial you need.
In buying ready-made clothing, in
sist on good materials, style and work
manship. If you always do this thu
dealers will be encouraged to suppl!
them.
Be sure that the thing you choose Il
becoming tosyou and appropriate to it
purpose.
Buy the thing that will serve TO
more that one sort of occasion or TIM
Of year.
Look for simplicity Of line and deco
ration. Garments extreme in style ar
never economical and rarely becoming
