TRACTOR SCHOOLS
ALL NEXT WEEK

If your engine is short on power
there is probably some adjustment
or minor repair that you could make
and remedy the ailment. Your meter
will not develop it's maximum power
neither will it operate efficiently if
not properly adjusted.
In the one-day course of tractor
motor maintenance and adjustment
given at the High School Shops in
the schools of the county by the Uni
versity of California, the rancher will
have an opportunity of not only seeing
demonstrated but actually have the
privilege CT timing and adjusting mag
netos, setting valve clearance, adjust
ing carburetors and other necessary
field adjustments.
Two lectures will be given each day,
on engine principles of operation, and
fuels, oils and fabrication.
Plan to attend your nearest school
for one day. There is no enrolment
charge. These schools will be held next
week.

(FrOm Farm Bureau)


Suppose for a year. Mr.. Farmer
the work they do about the place
what you would have to pay if you
hired outsiders to do it. Figure that
into the cost of your production and
see where you come out.
Maybe in this favored section you
could show a profit, but there are
wide areas in this fortunate state
where the production would be SER
iously impeded, if not halted, were it
not for the free labor of women and
children.
Is it fair and just to ask the in
dustry that feeds the world to do it
on basis like that? Why should the
farmers wife cook for men without
pay therefor, any more than the bank
er's wife? Surely the farmer is rem
dering as great a service to humanity
as is the banker. Why should the
farmers children work for nothing
any more than the merchants child
ren? The production of food is as I'M
portant as it's distribution, isn't it?
Isn't it entitled then to an income
that will enable it to get by without
the sacrifice of women and children
on the altar of unrequited toll?

HOT WATER FOR

Complaints Concerning Treat.
ment Are From Faulty
Application.
By d. 3. Mackie, State Department Of
Agriculture

By d. 3. Mackie, State Department OF
Agriculture
Considerable complaint has been
made of the regulations of the Cali
fornia department of agriculture dur
ing. the last years shipping season.
making treatment by hot water pro-
cess mandatory. While it is true that
considerable loss was entailed in this
regard, a survey of the apparatus
used leads to the conclusion that by
lar the greater proportion occurred in
Application OF the treatment.
A recent investigation by the Cali
fonia department of agriculture has
developed the fact that standardiza-
ton of the types of outfits used for
this purpose is one of the first requi-
sites of any attempt to prevent re-
currence of last seasons losses. Pre-
llminary to the regulations which the
department will issue shortly cover
ing this subject it is desired to con-
vey the following caution:
The use of direct fired outfits rem
derS the temperature control an ex-
ceedlngly difficult matter, one
fraught with grave possibilities for
damage to the vines by overheating
and great reduction in the safety
factor from a standpoint of destroy
ing possible phylloXera infestations
What is perhaps the second great
est cause for mortality among dipped
vines and which has heretofore been
given little or no consideration, comes
from the lack of proper cooling after
dipping. AS a result of lack of
proper handling in this regard, vines
are in a condition which is decidedly
favorable for excessive drying out.
There is a well defined equation in
the above regard which is governed
first, by the difference between the
| temperature of the vine and that of
the atmosphere; second, by the veloc-
ity Of the air currents to which the
vines are exposed, and last by the
amount of exposed surface. While
there are other considerations in
volved the above represents those OF
major Importance.
To reduce danger from this source
to a minimum vines should immedi-
ately after removal from heating
tanks be cooled by hosing or by sub
merging in cold water until atmos.
pheric temperature is reached.

insects which arc now getting the best
of us. OF course, the insects are
slowly getting the best of us every
where, and many scientists, especially
crtomologists, see life as a battle for
supremacy between man and the in
sects. Insects devour our crops and
our forests and carry many of the
deadl!cst diseases. The mosquito and
the boil weevil, the Hessian fly and
the gypsy moth and the long list OF
other insect pests are mans most SER
ious enemies.
The insects have the enormous ad-
vantagcs of being very small, very
numerous and very prolific. We can
not destroy them ono by one as we do
our other natural enemies. The in
sect problem was admirably posed by
that friend of the human race who,

sent to inquirers, for one dollar, two
small blocks of wood with instructions
to put the potato bug on one block
and hit him with the other.

nay be poor tenant farmer who cac-
not afford to spend even the Sc an
acre which is necessary if any crop is
TO be made at all. SO the weevil,
checked at one place, advances at
another.
The plan sketched out by the gov
eminent calls for seriec of airDlane
stations reaching clear across the cot
ton, belt on the boil weevil front.
When you realize that single plane
flying across this front might destroy
the weevil completely over swath
COO feet wide, and when you reflect
how much time and how many men
it would take to do the same work by
hand, you get some idea Of the possi-
biities of the new method. But it has
it's difficulties, too. The spray, to be
effective, must be done at night when
the dew is on the plant, it seems. The
air service, however, seems to be pre-
pared and willing to undertake the
work under these conditions.
Then again, the expense will be
heavy. Calcium arsenate costs about
10 cents a pound, and enormous guam
titles Of it would be necessary for this
lavish method of distribution. There
is no doubt that the work would far
more than pay for itself in the cotton
it would save.
There, as in so many other ways,
the clumsiness of modern Industrial
and government methods comes in.
The trouble Is that the saving cannot
be applied to the cost Of the work. If
the work is to be done by the govern
mcnt, it must be paid for by the tax
payer. But the taxpayer feels that he
is already being taxed enough, chlef-
ly to keep up the army and navy and
pGy the war debts, and if he has an
ounce of sense he knows that saving
of this cotton is not at all sure to re-
duce the price of cotton shirt to him.
AS for the planter, he wants the boil
wccvil exterminated badly enough in
order that his whole living may not be
eaten ZIP by the pest, but its complete
destruction does not mean any GER
tainly increased income to him. In
fact, a large cotton crop Is apt to
mean a low cotton price for the farm
er, SO that he really cannot afford any
extra large investment in this work.
These same obstacles, rooted III the
stupid inefficiency Of industrial Or
G; Ylization and political government,
are found blocking the path of numer-
Gus projects for the furtherance OF
mans control over nature. Science
devises q. solution of the problem, but
industry and government seem de-
signed to obstruct putting the solution
into effect. The fact Of the matter Is
that, while the physical sciences have
advanced steadily since the Middle
Ages, trade and governmental meth
ods. remain medieval in many respects.
Our methods of regulating commerce,
our diplomacy and our wars, for ex-
ample are all essentially medieval.
We cannot stop to elaborate this
important idea, because this is story
about bugs. The point is that the air.
rlane, if properly developed, may well
give us control over many kinds OF

Washington, D. C.-That the air.
plane, together with some of the in
stIuments for the use of POISON gas
and liquid flame, may be successfully
used against insects, which arc man
worst enemies, next to himsclf, seems
to be indicated by experiments which
have been conducted hc"c. and there.
The most successful experiment
and that upon which most Of the high
hopes seem to be based, was the
spraying of q grove of ornamental
trees in Ohio from an airplarc, which
completely destroyed the caterpillars
infesting the trees at single flight
The material used was calcium arsen-
ate, carried in a hopper below the
plane, as the machine passed over the
trees it heavily busted with the pois-
onous material belt Of land 600 feet
wide. 1t is reported that 80 per cent.
of the caterpillars were killed and
that the ground, after the attack, was
literally covered with the dead.
Now the. Department Of Agriculture
is at work on plan for the use of the
airplane in fighting its ancient enemy,
the boil weevil. Millions have already
been spent by the government m its
fight on the wcevil, and millions have
beer lost by reason of the fact that
the boil weevil has not been destroyed.
The boil weevil has for generations
literally been eating the. shirts off our
backs and tires off our cars-for cot
ter as much rs rubber is the basis of
tire construction. -.
The Weevil Army.
The problem Of. fighting the boil
weevil would seem to be in some re-
spects much like that of checking an
army. The bell weevil advances
slowly along an immense front. The
difficulty is to cover that whole front
al one time, so as to check. the adj
vance effectively. Presumably, IL the
advance could be checked, the enemy
could be destroyed, but Graduating the
veevil here and there does no per-
rianent good, if he is spreading in
other places. Thus the government
cannot well put n large enough army
in the field to check the wcovil all
along his advancing front at once by
hcnd spraying. Tie individual plant
er does what lie can, but what be-
tween the boil wecvil and the fiuc-
tuating price of cotton, he often lacks
the funds to do the work. One plant
er may spend SIS an acre in intensive
spraying, and clean the boil wcevil
out of his farm. But his neishbor
