KILLING Garden Enemies.

Weeds and insects are garden
enemies, and the time to kill both is
before they appear!
Careful stirring of the soil destroys
the little weed seedlings just after
the seeds have sprouted. Likewise,
cultivation keeps the garden in such
shape that insects do not find a
hiding place, and are not so liable to
injure the garden crops. H.,wever,
insects are almost sure to attack GER
tain Of the garden crops and it will
be necessary to take precautions
against them. Cutworms, potato
bugs, flea beetles. and plant lice are
the most troublesome garden insects.
Do not give them q chance to get
started.
The cutworrp does IFS work during
the night cutting off the plants Just
below the surface of the soil within
a day or two after they are set in
the garden. One OF Tie best ways to
prevent this injury is to surround the
stem of the plant with tube mada
of stiff paper or light card board,
extending an inch or SO below the
ground and two ar three inches

June Bug Pest to
Cause Much Damage

The June bug is a pest which the
farmer will have to reckon with more
than ever this year, j. w. Merrill,
Scott county agricultural agent, said,
June bugs are present in such
large numbers this year that they
are commencing to damage forest
and shade trees by eating the leaves
off OF them, Mr.. Merrill declares.
Beetles or June bugs as they are
commonly called, We're specially nu-
merous in 1917. AS it takes the
white grubs, their progenitors, three
years to develop, we can expect an
other abundant crop of them in 1923,
said the county crop man.
The beetle lays the eggs, which
hatch into the white brubs, and
subsequently pupates, producing the
beetle, the process of reproduction
taking three seasons, Mr.. Merrill
states.
Very little can be done to combat
these pests. except to eliminate as
far as possible the places where they
may lay their eggs.
AS the eggs are laid in grass
lands, fall blowing is a good remedy
as is also rotation of crops. No
practical means has yet been devised
to kill the beetles themselves, Mr..
Merrill states.
Where fields and pastures are kept
free from weeds, 1t prevents the
beetle from laying eggs in these
places. It is likely that the white
grub will be especially bothersome to
farmers next year, Mr.. Merrill said
today.~

Worship Live Men In China.

Man worship Is still practiced In
China, according to Rev. E. S. Bur-
ket. a Baptist missionary of Chang
ming. who found two disciples of the
late Liau, seated on thrones and re-
ceiying the obeisance of thousands of
their followers. Or. Burket has just
returned to this country.

about thirty years ago because of
his reputed power Of healing dis
eases and relieving the oppressed in
spirit. was executed by the authori-
ties, who feared an uprising. Two
OF Liau's disciples. Ling Shuk and
Lai Sam Shuk, however, like their
master, began to heal diseases In his
name and gradually were raised by
their following to the same godlike
rank accorded to Liau.
Ling Shuk Is II years old and Lai
Sam Shuk eight years his junior.
Several ornate temples have been
built to Liau. At the main one, To-
Gated at Liau's birthplace, about fif-
teen miles from Changing, the mis-
sionary found gathered more than
1000 people to celebrate Liau's
birth anniversary. The two immor-
tails were seated on the highest of
a series of terraces with an empty
throne between them for the spirit OF
Liau. Before them stood a large
table covered with ornamental OBJ
jects. and in front Of this the wor-
shippers go thru strange gymnastics.

Lowa Land Boom Has
Hurt Farm Capital

That the land boom which swept
Iowa during the summer of 1919
forced prices Of farm lands in that
state up to levels which were not JUS
tilted, Is stated in report Just COM
pleted by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. The report Is
based on Investigations conducted by
the department in cooperation with
Iowa State College.
The inquiry developed the fact that
the high valuation is not warranted
by the earning power of the land. II
is stated that tenants are making
greater profits comparatively than
owners Of farms Under present con-
ditions 1t is stated that the owner
with an average. farm capitalization
Of nearly $4,000 can make nearly
twice as much by operating as a ten
ant and investing the remaining cap
ital in per cent bonds than he can
by owning the farm he operates.
( It Is pointed out that current prices
Of lands are not justified by the ac-
tual earning power, and this is not
only a financial disadvantage Of be-
ing an owner, but makes It practi-
cAlly impossible. The average net
worth of tenants. as determined by
this study, Is only about IL per cent
Of the value Of the average farm cap
ital. Even If the tenant can borrow
the remainder Of the capital neces-
sary to become an owner, he could
not expect to earn, under tho favor
able conditions with respect to crops
and prices prevailing in 1918, less
than 3h per cent on the total capt.
tai borrowed. Failing prices for farm
products or unfavorable crops would
make the prospect even less satisfac-
tory.
The investigation covered sixty
Iowa counties. It was found that the
increase in the average value Of farm
lands in the counties in which the in
vestigation was conducted was great
er during the year. Of the boom than
during the fifty years from 1850 to
1900.

Spray Cows For Files.

A home made fly spray that 81 yery
cheap has been tried out by the dairy
section of Iowa State College and
proven to DE very successful. It can
be used at a cost Of one cent per COW
and pays for itself in short time by
adding to the milk production.
Files cause considerable ANNOYANCE
to dairy COWS during the summer and
not only does the irritation caused by
the flies tend to lower milk produce
ton but the restlessness of the cows
Is frequent cause of inefficient
milking.
A good fly spray can be made
from ~ quarts coal tar din.
4 II quarts fish oil, quarts coal oil,
3 quarts whale oil and IN quarts oil
Of tar.
Dissolve three pounds Of laundry
soap in water, add the ingredients
of the spray and bring the whole up
to 80 gallons with luke warm soft
water. This spray will keep off the
flies and prevent the coats of the ami
mails from becoming harsh.
The cows should be sprayed twice
a day, in the morning after milking
and in the afternoon when in the
barn for silage or green food. With
portable cart, made from a half
barrel by attaching wheels and a
spray pump and nozzle, two men can
spray 40 cows in five minutes.
Thirty gallons OF mixture will
spray forty cows twice a day for ten
days.
