GROW PURPLE VETCH
 FOR VALUABLE SEED

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Due largely to the intermediary ef- forts of the United States Department of Agriculture, 2,400 acres of purple vetch is reported as being grown this year for seed in northwestern Califor- nia for use in the orchards of the southern part of the state, where 1t has proven a superior green-manure crop. The superiority of purple vetch in California for green manure lies in the fact that it makes more growth during the winter months and can be turned under earlier than other legume crops.
 Purple vetch was first brought to this country from Italy in 1899 and its advantages have been appreciated for a number of years, but it was not pos sible to introduce it extensively be- cause of scarcity of seed. In the re- zion where it was most valuable it has not been feasible to raise purple vetch in large quantities because of climatic conditions. In the North, on the other hand, the seed can be grown sue cessfully, but there the purple vetch is not in as great favor for forage as common vetch, which is hardier and has become established in popularity.
 To make a bridge between the two geographically distant localities has been the work of a number of years on the part of the department experts. It was first necessary to demonstrate the value of purple vetch in the South, and afterwards to induce north ern farmers to substitute it to some extent for their customary crops. This latter was difficult, because purple vetch was not quoted in the market, and also because, where sale was ef- fected, farmers were tempted to sell their entire stock. reserving no seed to maintain or extend the acreage.
 The assistance of large California fruit growers association was enlisted, and last year 500 acres were grown under guarantee, large portion of the yield being kept for seed. This year northwestern California and Ore gon farmers will receive 1415 cents pound for purple vetch seed, which should give them from $50 to $2OO per acre in addition to the straw. From now on it is expected sufficient seed will be available for all needs. s

 rriously depositing clusters of small yellowish eggs on the underSide of the potato leaves. In a few days these hatch into little red, soft-shelled slugs or "soft-shells," as they are often called, that have most wonderful ap- petities, and unless poisons are ap- piled they will soon strip the potato plants of their leaves.
 Perhaps there is no class of garden insects the method of attack of which is so insidious as that of the plant lice or aphids.
 At first very few lice may be found hidden on the under side of the leaves of melons, peas, cabbage, and other vegetables. A little later the leaves be- gin to curl up and to lose their color and an examination will show that the 'lice" which the ants carried out have became grandmOthers, and the under side of the leaves will be lit orally alive with them, feasting on the juices of the plants. At this stage something must be done quickly, for within a few days there will be another generation or brood at work.

PUREBRED BULLS UNCERTAIN
Behooves Farmer to Be Careful of What He Is Buying-If Possible
 Look at Dam and Sire.

Some purebred bulls are worse than scrubs. Be careful of what you are buying. Study the pedigree carefully and if possible get a look at the dam and sire of the animal in question. Never buy on records or pedigree alone; get this coupled with individuality. Poor individuals go begging at sales, and in your barn.

"CHO-CHO AND THE HEALTH
FAIRY VISITS BEREA

Miss Raymond, the famous Health
Fairy" of the National Child Health
Organization, is to be in Berea, Mon
day, September the Goth. She has
been loaned to the State Board Of
Health of Kentucky for very short
time, and due to the interest Berea
Junior Red Cross had displayed in
the Health Crusade, last winter, Be-
rea is fortunate enough to have Miss
Raymond granted to us for one day.
This unusual opportunity is to be
taken advantage of by the schools
of Berea and the surrounding COM
munity, for whom space will be re-
served at the meeting in the Main
Chapel Of Berea College. The social
service classes Of the College, the
Normal Department, and the parents
of the children are invited. Others
also who are interested will be well
coined after these above mentioned
people are seated.
At 1890 a. M, in the Main Chapel,
Miss Raymond will present the play.
let of "Cho-Cho and the Health
Fairy" in which is shown the at
tractive story-book character of
health work for the children's bene-
fit. After this performance the
children will be cared for by the
recreation director while Miss Ray
mond will hold a conference with
the teachers and parents, to answer
any questions and offer suggestions
for Improvement of health conditions
in this community.
Miss Raymond, with. "Cho-Cho and
the Health Fairy" has become ma
famous. 1t is a rare privi-
lege for Berea to have Miss Ray
mond, for, ordinarily, it is only at
great expense that the performance
can be obtained; and she comes to US
due to the kindness of the State
Health Department.
