Bedbugs lay an average of seven eggs per day. Under favorable conditions they hatch in five days of which two adult size and are capable of laying in -four weeks. How many bedbugs would would you have in year if you left one female or egg unmolested for one year? To rid the pesky bedbug, you can readily see how necessary it is to use a prepara- ton that will kill the eggs as well as the live ones- P.

CULTIVATE POTATOES OFTEN
for Six Weeks After Plants
Appear--kiIl Bugs

Potatoes must be hoed or cultivated
weeks after the plants appear. While
cultivating, the soil should be drawn
about the plants, forming hills to pro
tect the potatoes from the sun.
Potato bugs, old-fashioned ''har6
shells and their children, the soft
shells or slugs, are sure to eat the
foliage of potatoes unless prevented
from doing so. The ''hard SHELF bugs
that are first to appear can often be
picked off by hand and killed, but
about the only way to control the
young soft bugs or slugs is to poison
them. This can be done by spraying
or sprinkling the potato leaves with
a mixture consisting of one ounce Of
arsenate of lead in one gallon of wa
ter or the plants may be busted with
powdered lime to which paris green
has been added at the rate of one
ounce to four quarts of lime, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture The dust should
be sifted over the plants during the
early morning while the dew is upon
the leaves. 1t will not be necessary
to dust or spray all the plants. but
only those where the bugs have start
ed, then go over the potatoes every
few days to see that the bugs have
not gotten a fresh start.

POPULAR GRAINS

of Abundance and Is Most
ReliShed by Fowls.
WHEAT REGARDED AS SAFEST
Most Satisfactory Results Obtained
When Meat, Bone, Bran and 9th
er heterogeneous Feeds Are
Also Supplied.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
OF all grain feeds usually supplied
% farm poultry, corn has been, and
still is, the most popular. This prob
ably is due to its abundance and rel
alive cheapness, amt because it is the
most relished Of all she grains. Corn
is heating and fattening, and when
fed to fowls as the only feed, fat rath-
er than eggs is the usual result. IL
should be balanced with meat, bone,
bran, and such feeds as are rich in
heterogeneous matter, in which corn is
deficient. When corn is fed to laying
hens that have opportunity to take
plenty of exercise and TO obtain in
sects and green feed, more satisfac-
tory results are likely to be obtained
1t may be fed more freely during the
winter than curing the summer, say
poultry specialists of United States
Department of Agriculture.
Wheat Is Safest
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone 1t is
not quite so fattening as corn, hut is
too fattening when fed alone. Wheat
should be supplemented by the same
feeds as advised 10 use with corn TO
increase the proportion of protein.
Wheat contains a little more protein
than corn, about the same amount of
carbohydrates, but less fat, and on
the whole is considered not so valu-
able for ia tening, but slightly better
for growth. Good grades of wheat
are relatively too high in price to
be used freely in feeds at the pres
ent time. Wheat screenings of
good grade can frequently be pur-
chased and fed to advantage. OF
course, there is always the danger of
introducing weed seeds on the farm
Burnt wheat seldom can be fed adj
vantageously, the difference in price
between this and good wheat being
usually too slight to warrant its use.
Oats Needed for Variety.
Oats. while not as good as corn or
wheat, are necessary for variety.
They contain more indlges ible fiber

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney anc
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr.

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

SWEET CLOVER BUILDS SOIL
BY Vigorous Growth and Decay Of
Large Roots 1t Restores Humus
in Large Quantities.

AS a soil builder sweet clover is in
class by istelf. BY its vigorous
growth and the decay of it large roots
it restores humus to the soil in large
quantities. If it is allowed to remain
and decay where it has grown, large
quantities of plant food are made
available. Moreover, it is a legume
and can, therefore, take its nitrogen
from the air, thus adding an element
to the soil that is very beneficial. Its
long fieshy roots penetrate the sub
soil and bring food to the surface for
other plants to use, and, at the same
time, improve the soil texture.

the farm of Henry Gebers near
Adair to make tests with his instru-
ments to determine the exact spot
where the first hole is to be sunk
in an effort to find oil. The occa-

holiday. The band gave a concert
on the street before going to the
Gebers place, and headed the crowd
which made it's way to witness the
preliminaries.
The place where the first well is
to be sunk is about a half mile
from the city limits Of Adair. Four
