Chilean Fruit In America.

An experimental shipment of grapes was sent to New York with view of ascertaining whether a market could be found in the United States for the product of the Chilean vineyards. The grapes were shipped in cold storage and are reported to have arrived in excellent condition and to have been sold at highly satisfactory prices. It Is reported that another shipment Is planned as soon as arrangements can be made. The experiment is of par ticular interest, since 1t is possible that the exportation of fresh fruit from Chile to the United States might be- come very profitable, providing that shipping facilities were available. Chile Produces fine fruit of almost every variety known to the temperate zone and 1t ripens during the winter months in the United States when the market would be at its best.

SAFETY WEEK.

.r Throughout the state this week a campaign is being made to avert auto accidents and bring motorists and pedestrians to the realization that the majority of accidents would never have happened if little better judgment had been used. A little carelessness or a little too much speed, with the result that some person is maimed for life or mortally injured. To overcome this situation the Motor Vehicle Department has inaugerated Safety Week.
 In this state during the year 1920, there were 223 fatal accidents in which motor vehicles were concern ed, resulting in the death of 230 people. There were seven thousand traffic accidents resulting in damage or personal injury during the same period. To prevent these accidents it can be readily seen that more thought and better judgment will re- duce the number materially.
 Education and cooperation will overcome the traffic difficulties on the state roads as nc cthing else can. Travel at a safe and sane speed, give the other fellow his share of the road or a little more and remember, if you don't value your life there are others who do.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Antis and Sufcragists

Just a few remarks, MT. Editor, before Town meeting draws the wom- en voters in overwhelming numbers? to the Town meeting.
 It is not yet year since the state gave the vote to women. There have been some odd things to note since the women were given the franchise. The antis seemed as eager to be made voters, even in some towns more so, than the suffragists. We have greatly wondered at this, for they so strenuously opposed the suffrage and so stoutly maintained that woman's place was in the home and that she had no business with politics any how either as voter, office seeker, lobbyist, or any politi- cal activity whatsoever. Why was she made a voter? There was no compulsion about it. The answer is not in this article forthcoming briefly put political policy is never so very obscure or difficult to read or understand and now we will take LID the suffragists.
 After nearly an eighty years fight during which they endured every conceivable indignity injustice opposition, ridicule and even at one time social ostracism they obtained the vote for both themselves and the anti-suffrage women who so bitterly opposed them up to the last ditch. That is all for this time, fellow voters. Right here is a nice place to stop and think things over. Nothing but an exceptionally pre- judiced and shriveled mind could take exception to these remarks.

CABBAGE BEETLE
 DOES MUCH HARM
Insect Carefully Avoids ArseniCaI Sprays Effective Against
 Many Other Pests.
BEST METHO3S FOR CONTROL
Tobacco Dust Found to Be Most Ef- fective of RepelIents Tested-Ar- senate of Lead Applications
 Found Satisfactory.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agrculture)
 Evidently the Western cabbage flea beetle was not matched to die by poisOn-at least by sprays of arsenicals found so effective against many crop insect pests. It may be driven away, however, by poisonous applications, and herein lies the methods of control discovered by specialists of the bureau of entomology, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, whose eXperi- ments in combating the pest are de- scribed in Department Bulletin 9O2 "The Western Cabbage Flea Beetle" recently published. This insect is by no means confined to cabbage, but ire quentIy does serious injury to turnips, radishes, mustard, kale and other cole crops, to sugar beets, table beets and under exceptional conditions to beans and peas.
 Dainty in. Habits.
 The beetles, 1t is said, are dainty in their feeding habits, carefully avoiding foliage that has been sprayed, and at taeking either unsprayed parts or fly ing to other plants Repellents such as tobacco dust were found to be the most effective of those tested, and Of the arsenicals, heavy applications of arsenate of lead gave the most satis- factory results.
 A formula that gave excellent re suits was arsenate of lead paste, 1 pound; fish-oil soap, as a sticker, l pound and water, 10 gallons. Half of this weight of powdered lead arsenate, or 2k pounds in 50 gallons of water, is equally effective, with a correspond ing quantity of soap, to act as an ad- hesive, or "sticker." It should be ap- piled with a sprayer fitted with elbow extension, and special effort should be made to coat thoroughly the under surface of the leaves. Two or three applications at five to eight-day inter- vals are sufficient, even in case of se- were infestatiOn, provided the first ap- plicatiOn is made promptly on the first appearance of the insect.
 Control by Nicotine. -
 The pest can also be controlled by nicotine sulphate, One-half pint, 40 per cent solution, in 50 gallons of wa. ter, with pounds of soap added, which is a deterrent. It is not pos sible, however, to control this insect entirely when it occurs in its great est abundance.
 In addition, 1t is desirable to keep the plants thrifty and well watered. Mechanical and crop traps can be used with advantage Clean culture is all ways advisable.

HOW TO FIGURE
 COST OF CROPS
Farmer Enabled to Compute for Himself Expense of Produc-
 ing Various Crops.
REQUIREMENTS OF EACH CROP
h Precise Records Are Not Available on Labor and Material Expendi- turcs Close E-timate Can Be
 ade e That Gc@..on.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of AgricultureD
 FfgurC' from which the farmer can compute for himself the cost of pro- ductiOn of corn, corn for slage, wheat. oats, and hay, under given conditions, are presented in a preliminary report on labor and material requirements of those crops, recently issued by the United States Department of Agricul- ture. These figures cover the normal hours of man labor and horse labor, and quantities of seed fertilizers, etc, required per acre for each crop, as determined by surveys by the office of farm management and farm econom- ics.
 Apply Basic Factors.
 The money cost is found by apply ing to these basic factors the current rates for labor, seed, etc. Inasmuch as it has been found that, in general, labor and material costs approximate 80 per cent of the total operating cost for these crops, it is easy to find this total when the labor and material costs are known.
 The figures given represent average crop requirements for the regions where investigations have been made. If the farmer does not have precise records of labor and material cxpendi- lures for his own farm, he can esti- mate them pretty closely by taking the average for his own region as a basis and applying current rates for labor and materials, with due allowance for any unusual conditions that may exist in his own case. The method of com putation is as follows:
 1. Determine the total cost of labor and material per acre by applying cur rent rates to the quantities of labor and materials obtained from the in- dividuals own records, or, If such are not available, use those given in the table
 2. Determine the total operating ex- pense per acre by dividing the cost of labor and material by the percentage figure given for each region.
 8. Determine the total acre cost of production by adding the interest charge or the cash rent paid for the use of land.
 4. To determine the cost per bushel or ton divide the total acre cost by the yield per acre.
 The following example shows how this method worked out in figuring the cost of corn for silage on an Iowa farm:

CONCRETE FLOORS ARE BEST
Promote and Protect Health of All Farm Animals and Increase Prof.
 it's for Farmer.

A concrete barnyard makes a fine exercise lot in all kinds of weather and always affords a dry spot for the animals bed. Every shower washes the surface clean and fiushes the drOppings into the manure pits. Con- crete yards tighten the work of the housewife, as there is no mud to be tracked on the walks and kitchen floor. The use of rubber boots is un- necessary. On concrete floors not particle of grain need be wasted. The way to the water trough Is always dry, smooth and passable. Concrete floors promote and protect the health of farm animals and increase the profits of farming, stock raising and dairying.

SWEET CLOVER IS SENSITIVE
Crop Seldom Makes Profitable Growth on Acid Soil-Proper InocuIation
 Important.

While it is claimed by some that sweet clover will grow on almost any kind of soil, it seldom makes a prof itable growth on an acid soil. It is one of the most sensitive crops to this condition. An application of two tons of ground limestone or from two to three cubic yards of marl is usually necessary to secure good crop on an acid soil. Proper inoculation is i'm portant.
