PLIGHT OF EUROPE'S
CHILDREN STACGERS
100000 Facing Starvation Can
Only Be Saved by Americas
Response to Joint Appeal.

II 10 utterly impossible for one who
has not actually seen the misery Of
the early Autumn in Europe to visual
ize what the children OF the Eastern
and Central portions of the continent
face this winter. To say that $500, 900
children have no alternative to starva-
ton or death from disease except
American aid, is startling. but Independ-
ent observers by the score and care
full scientific surveys of the economic
end crop conditions overseas brand
the figure as conservative.
In Poland, Tor instance. v'Iere 1,3O8,-
coo youngsters last year subsisted al
most entirely on the one free Ameri-
can meal n day that they received. con-
ditions as winter closes down, are
worse than ever before. The Bolshe-
vfk invasion stripped large portions OF
the country OF all grain. Professor
r.. d. Durand, Food Advisor to the
Polish government, after an exhaustive
survey, has reported that only forty
per cent fs available of the food neces-
sary to carry the population through
the winter.
In the city or Vienna tests conducted
in the American Relief Administration
foed kitchens showed that 81 per cent
OF the children between the ages OF 8
and Il we're seriously under-nourish-
ed" Thirty-three per cent were mark
eddy under-nourighed, IL per cent were
slightly subnormal and only 4 per cent
approached the state OF q normal

Administration Is feeding DOC, 600
Austrian children every day now. and
there - no chance Of dimunition of
need before mex harvest.

Of Europe's children is equally ap-
palling. Estimates reaching the Amer

INSULATE HIVES IN WINTER
Ample Protection Should Be Supplied
to Keep Out Cold Winds
Leave Entrance Open.

Protect hives from prevailing cold
winds, and insulate hives to retain the
heat generated by the bees. A grove
of trees, an adjacent hill, or nearby
fence may serve as windbreak. The
packing usually done should complete
ly surround the hive, including the
bottom, but the bees entrance should
remain open, though reduced in size.
Cork chips, sawdust, fine shavings,
dry leaves, chaff, and similar material
should be used and packed tightly in
a box built about the hive, allowing
from six to eight inches space for the
insulation.

Fattened Turkeys Being Driven to
Market.

numerous farmers have taken the cue.
Wherever there are green fields,
there are grasshoppers and other in
sects. G. r. Greaves of the agricul-
tural college, who has conducted the
experiments, says:
at seems the memorable law of ma
ture that wherever there is something
good to eat there is something to eat
it, and mans existence is a continual
struggle for supremacy over the crea'
lures that are determined to consume
the food he requires"
During past years in North Dakota,
prairie chickens, sage hens and grouse
held the grasshOppers in check, and
their plumpness and the delicious
quality of their meat attested to the
superiority of their food.
Now the prairie chickens especially
are going the way of the buffalo, and
Mr.. Greaves was assigned to find a
substitute that would keep down the
bic and expense to the farmer. The
answer is turkeys and gulneaS.
Mr.. Greaves declares that flocks OF
turkeys and guineas consume milliOnq
of grasshoppers and other insect pests,
and naturally do their own fOraging,
Early in the season the experimental
fiocks at the agricultural college have
grown fat and strong on the young
insects.
Later in the season they have re-
ceived the abundant exercise necessary
for their proper market conditioning
by chasing the elusive hOppers, have
saved the field corps and provided a
new, big source of income.
'"Three old turkeys kept through one
winter" said Mr.. Greaves, produced
a flock of young turkeys the following
season which kept the fields near their
house clear of grasshOppers, and full
filled their destiny by gracing Thanks
giving tables"

FALLACIOUS IDEA OF SHEEP
Animals Will Consume More Weeds
and Shrubs Than Other Animals,
but Need Some Feed.

Many farmers who have failed with
sheep have gone into the business with
the fallacious idea that sheep will eat
anything, simply because some misin-
formed person started the tale. Sheep
will consume more weeds and shrubs
than any other class of animals, but to
turn them into the woodlot and expect
them to thrive on sprouts and dry
leaves is asking too much of their d.
gestive systems. However, there is
usually waste land on most farms on
which the sheep may be kept at certain
periods of the year very profitably.

MADE HIS ARGUMENT GOOD
edge to Convince Mother of
Danger He Was In.

Ten-year-Old John lives next door
to Il little girl near his own age. The
mothers are good friends and insist Oh
their children being playmateS. But
this doesn't suit John, who wishes to
get out with the boys. SO he tries his
best to start a quarrel whenever play
time with Edith arrives. And the ex-
plantations for this trouble, which he
offers to his mother are often elab-
crate.
Last "Wednesday he had succeeded
in making Edith angry. Like Il little
fury she flew at him and pulled his
hair. Then John went home to make

A million dollars worth of damage
a day is conservatively estimated as
the effect of the European corn borer
if it once gets established in the corn
belt of the United States. This is the
statement of George A. Dean, head OF
the entomology department in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
The insect, which has done trenen-
dous damage in Europe and Asia, has
been introduced into New York and
Massachusetts and is looked for in
other regions.
