Time to Insure Crops
from, Insect Pests

This is tile season of the year to IN.
sure your crops OF next spring and
summer from insect attack. Accord
ing to State Entomologist Don C. Mote,
a little work in the fall and winter
spent in cleaning out weeds and trash
along the fence, rows, burning over
ditch banks and cleaning the fields
will result in the destruction of many
destructive insects.
That insects hibernate in the woods
and trash is well known, but few are
aware of the large numbers that win
ter over in this manner. In one In.
stance, $50 insects TO the acre were
actually found hibernating in the
trash apd rubbish on the ground. OF
this number fully 70 per cent of them
were alive. This was undoubtedly an
exceptional case, but very frequently
as many as 1000 insects to the acre
can be found in the fields. The insects
so found are largely at the mercy of
the farmers. He can destroy many
by carefully raking up the trash and
burning it. Flowing and subsequent
narrowing of the land will add to the
destruction.
A very practical illustration of the
damage Of woods and trash as aiding
in the wintering of insects is reported
in one of the Federal Governments
bulletins. Across narrow lane on
one side of an experimental farm was
a small peach orchard owned by pri-
vate individual in which the weeds
were allowed to grow unchecked from
year to year. Every season the first
insect infestation on the experiment.
al farm was found in the immediate
vicinity of the orchard In fact, the
infestitation always started at that
point and radiated into the field. II
it had been possible to destroy the
wintering quarters of the insects
across the lane-and this meant only
the prevention of the growth of woods
evidently would have been a
considerable reduction in the insect
damage

TRANSPORTATION. TAXES AND
BUSINESS.

The provisions of the revenue law
repeating the taxes on transportation
go into effect January 1st. The s per
cent tax on passenger fares is now
done away with. This should be a
big encouragement to manufacturing
industries to send out their statesmen.
Many men who have made their liv-
ing by commercial travelling have
been blue the past year. One of them
said last summer, and he was a man
who had always been successful in
that calling, that he did not know
but he would have to quit. He could
not sell enough at that time to pay
his travelling expenses.
The Industries that employ these
travellers are now, going to save
eight per cent on their railroad fares.
Also there has been some decline in
hotel charges. Furthermore, the tax
OF three per cent on freight rates
is also repealed. This saving should
encourage merchants to buy goods
more freely.
There is disposition among trav-
elling salesmen to get along with
lower expense accounts than formerly.
II hotels charge high. they eat most
of their meals at restaurants. It is
good Judgment also for them not to
spend money entertaining customers.
All such expenses have to be added to
the cost of goods, and come out of the
consumer in the end.
Thus number of tendencies are
working to make II less expensive
to sell goods on the road and to pro
mote sales. Manufacturers that had
gone slow about sending out statesmen,
and which have failed TO cover their
routes the way they used to, they can
get IL. The travelling salesman is the
advance agent of prosperity. His
cheerful courage, his information of
trade movements, is the influence
that persuades many doubling mer-
chants to go ahead and help promote
active business II big army OF
statesmen can go out his winter, they
will do lot to promote hustling
trade for the rest of the season and
