COMBAT WILD ONIONS
BY FLOWING In FALL
Pest Causes Loss OF Millions
of Dollars.
Important Remedial Method Is to
Sow Small Grain, Preparing Land
Before Seeding - Maturity
of Bulblets Prevented.

Wild onions, otherwise known as
garlic, which cause American farmers
millions of dollars annual loss, can
best be combated by deep, late fall
plowing, in the opinion of the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
plowing, the tops should be complete
ly turned under. A jointer attached
to the plow, and also disking before
plowing, will help to put the tops un-
der. The following spring give the
land a thorough preparation and plant
10 some titled crop, such as corn in
check rows.
1t is sometimes impracticable to
eradicate this pest completely. An
important remedial method in such
cases is to SOW small grain late in the
fall plowing and preparing the land
just before seeding the grain. This
method will not destroy the onions,
but gives them such a setback that the
bulblets do not have time to mature
before the grain Is harvested.

NEED HELP FOR FRENCH BOYS

LOrne w. Barclay, national direc-
tor of the department of education,
who was recently made a knight of
the Legion of Honor in consideration
of his work in the devastated regions
of France, sent the following COM
munication to TIE national council
headquarters
''The Boy scout camps in France are
now closing and the French boys are
cheering for the good times they have
had. We have 40 boys who have not
been adopted by troops in America.
Here is an opportunity for your troop
to have a representative in scouting
in France Expenses have been adj
vanced by friends for these boys and
we shall be glad to assign them to
you for adoption on receipt of con-
tribution of twenty-five dollars per
French boy. 1t is not too late, for
this work must continue. Is it pos
sible for your troop to cooperate in
helping one of the boys In France? In
so doing you will do a good turn
which will always continue to turn
for scouts and scouting Send your
communications to the American Com
mittee for Devastated France, 16

tinguishable from kerosene cans. It
is better to store the gasoline in a
buried tank. At least the tank should
be away from buildings. Vapor never
should be allowed to escape in a close
room or where there is any fire.
Stoves Cause Many Fires.
Overheated stoves and flues cause
many fires. Chimneys should be built
from the ground if possible, and should
not be attached TO any of the frame
work of the building so there can
be uneven settling. They should be
clear of the woodwork and should al
ways be kept clear of SCOT.
StOvepipes should never pass
through inaccessible places like a
closet or garret. If they must pass
through the wall, see that the stove
pipe hole is provided with a good
'thimble." Where walls and ceilings
| are near the pipe cover them with
metal or asbestos. Every stove should
have piece of sheet metal under it
to protect the floor from hot ashes
and live Goals.
Never leave inflammable rubbish
near buildings. Remove it. If it must
be burned, pile it in small piles, so the
blaze never can get out of control. 1t
| Is best not to have the children near
| the fire. This is perhaps a hardship.
At least they can be kept from play
ing with the fire.
| When new buildings are to be con-
| structed proper spacing and the
! liberal use of concrete and mason
work will reduce fire liability. Smoke
houses should never be built so that
hot Goals can start blaze. Hot ashes
never should be dumped in infam-
mable receptacles.
Fire-Fighting Equipment.
In the way of providing fre-fighting
equipment much can be done without
great outlay Barrels of water on the
roof and pals of water kept standing
in convenient places will possibly save
disastrous loss. If there is an ele
waited tank or force pump, hose
connection will be found invaluable il
time of need. A ladder that Will reacf
the roof should always be available
for immediate use.
Sand should be kept handy to throw
on gasoline and oil fires; water only
scatters Them There are number OF
simple chemical extinguishers on The
market some commercial and some
homemade.
With the present widespread use Of
automobiles, rural fire company
equipped either with motor pump Ol
large chemical eXtinguisher, or both
can easily be organized and equipped
Every farm fire suggests preventive
and protective measures that should
have been provided. Take little tim'
and provide them in advance.

Damage from wild onion is of two
general classes. Cows eat the young
shoots in spring. resulting in tainted
milk and butter; and the bulbets
which grow in clusters at the
top of the stalk in summer are so

impossible to separate them except

Nav Give Gems Color.

If experiments now being carried
on at the Reno station of the bureau
of mines are successful, says the Min
ing Congress Journal, it will be possi-
BILE to give color to colorless gems
which exist in abundance in the West.
The experiments so far have produced
results which are considered promis-
ing. The penetrating radiation of
radium is the agency through which
gems are being cOlored. In a prelim-
mary experiment, a colorless Colorado
topaz was tinted yellow. The coloring
when exposed to light was found to be
not permanent, and the experimental
ton continues with a view to making
the color light-proof. Successful
termination of the experiments would
add materially to the value Of western
gem stones, whose market value is low
ON account of their lack of the tint
qualities deemed essential for gem
manufacturers.

KEEPS BLOOD PURE
Growing Children Need Plenty
of Red Cells in Blood.

When the young body is growing,
children frequently experience weak
ness. Girls and boys sometimes play
too hard and overtax their systems.
They become pale, weak, and sickly.
They lose their appetites, become Ian

tant to keep the blood of growing girls
and boys in a healthy state.
Pepto-Mangan keeps the blood pure.
The red cells in the blood are in
creased. They carry life-giving oxy-
gen to all parts of the body, and whole
some youthfulness blooms again in

SCOUT INSIGNIA IN MEMORIAL
WINDOW.

The memorial window unveiled for
Rev. DIR. Charles Townsend, for
nearly twenty years pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Orange,
N. j., is believed to be unique in scout
ing annals, as it is the first to have the
boy scout insignia wrought into it's
design. Doctor Townsend was the
founder of the troop organization in
the church, and the window is the
gift of the scouts in loving memory
of their leader who died in 1914. The
window portrays the incident Of
Christ feeding the multitude, and re-
ceiving the loaves and fishes from the
hand of the boy whom Andrew, the
disciple, brings to the master, theme
once treated by Doctor Townsend in

FARMING in Asia Minor.

If conditions ever become settled in
Asia Minor and the warning factions
sometime become settled, this region
should prove wonderful place for
power farming. There are many sec
tions of the country that have very
fertile land and many of the people
are essentially agricultural. The wars
which have disturbed the region for
so many years have seriously inter-
fered with farming, though, of course,
it has given the land rest, which will
he of benefit when farming is again
resumed.
The proximity Of the great oil fields
will be instrumental in the supply of
very cheap fuel and, consequently,
moter machinery of all kinds can be
very cheaply operated. 1t is simply
n question of peace, education and
promotion.-Farm Implement News.

HOUSE FOR FARM MACHINERY
Equipment Standing Out in Open
During Winter Will Depreciate
Sixteen Per Cent

1t has been estimated that farm
machinery which is carefully housed
will depreciate at the rate of per
cent while machinery housed only un.
der the clouds and sky will depreciate
16 per cent each year. The average
farmer has at least $500 tied up in
machinery. On the basis of the rates
mentioned, the annual depreciation,
when housed, would amount to S64
and $12S when not housed, or S64 less
where shelter was provided At 51h
per cent that would allow for interest
on mighty good machine shed and
have some left over besides. Sit down
and figure it out and see whether one
can afford to let the farm equipment
stand out all winter in the open.

DoINGs OF BOY SCOUTS.

Boy scouts recently saved the
Laurel Canyon (Cal) home of Bessie
Love from destruction by fire.
A QUESTIONABLE sent out to boys who
had just returned from a scout camp
brought out interesting information as
to what the boys themselves consid-
cred that the experience had given
them. Some of the answers were !:
"to be a better scout" "to stand
straight" learned working without
grumbling," "gOod habits" "clean
sport" "helped every way"
Yardley (Pa) boy scouts have
promised to use some of their Satur-
day free hours in doing some of the
odd jobs about the town, such as
cleaning and cutting brush in an old
cemetery which has, for years, been
in a deplorable condition.
Casper (Wyo.) scouts, Troop II, are
organized as an official sanitary squad
in charge of school grounds and build
ingS, in the interests of cleanliness
and sanitation. The work is directed
by the troop patrol leaders and the
principal of the school reports fine
results.
Moscow IIdaho) scouts made a 200
mile hike afoot, with Pine Tree trek
outfits, averaging 10 miles day.
Berkeley (Cal) scouts collected 13
tons of waste paper, the proceeds of
all of which went to the Red Cross.
Joplin. (Mo.) boys are interested in
park improvement. One Of the plans
they are following is to have each
scout select a healthy tree from the
outskirts of the town, and having Sc
cured permission, will remove and
nlant the same in the city park. The
tree henceforth will be regarded as the
scouts own particular charge.

Every time there is fire on a farm
1t takes away value that never can
be replaced. Either the owner must
be deprived Of what may have been
the fruits of 20 of the best years of
his life. or the insurance company
will be called upon for a check, which
has to come out of the premiums paid
by himself and other property owners.
If there are many fires, the insur-
ance rates increase. In mutual COM
panies, which carry a large proportion
of farm insurance, the increase is i'm
mediately felt. In a recent year there
were more than $4,000 farm fires in
the United States. entaling loss Of
more than $1S,0O0,00O, of which 33 per
cent was held to have been prevent
able.
Strive to Prevent Fires.
Prevention of fires was made a
special subject of consideration in
churches, schools, public gatherings,
and farm organizations for an entire
week this October. The farmer, with
the accumulation of many years tied
up in his buildings, may well make
every week fire-prevention week.
According to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, practically
every fire is preventable. except those
caused by lightning or of incehdiary
origin. Even when the best preven-
tive measures fail and fires break out
preparatory measures will put the
farmer and his neighbors in better
shape to subdue them.
Every fire must have an initial
flame, whether it be from a carelessly
thrown match or cigarette, an ex-
plosion of kerosene or gasoline. an
explosion of grain dust In a thrash
ing machine, or sparks from a sooty
chimney or passing engine.
Matches never should be left loose
or within the reach of children. Put
them in noncombustible containers
and have a pocket match safe. Better
vet use safety matches, which can bt
scratched only on the box.
Smoking never should be permitted
around the barn or in the vicinity Of
| inflammable matter. Matches, cigar ol
cigarette stubs never should bC
thrown where they can do harm.
Kerosene and gasoline are usefu
servants, but destructive when le
loose.
They should be rigidly confined anC
never allowed to mix or change places

NEW BRANCHES OF SCOUTING.

Thirteen Rome IN. W scouts
recently organized themselves into an
Archery club, making bows and ar
rows for themselves. One of the most
striking scout displays in connection
with a sportsman show in New York
was an archery demonstration given
by a Manhattan troop, with old
English yew bows. Archery is a fas-
cinating recreation and is incidentally
splendid training in accuracy, observa-
ton and coordination of mind, eye and
muscle.

boys have banded together as mounted

through the forest guide movement
that it is making a special study

wild life conservation and the preven-
ton of forest fires, by active personal
service and by propaganda.
