The Americans Greed

l believe in the United States of
America as a government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people;
whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; de-
mocracy in republic; sovereign ma
ton of many sovereign states; per-
feet union, one and inseparable; es-
tablished upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice, and human
ity for which American patriots sac
rificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to
my country to love it; to support it's
constitution; to obey its laws; to
respect it's flag; and to defend 1t
against all enemies.
On next Sunday afternoon, June IS,

Women Install Many La
Dor Saving Devices.

Washington Women Install Many La
Dor Saving Devices.
A total of 463 home conveniences
was purchased by members of test
ing circles recently conducted among
rural women in the State of Washing
ton, under the supervision of the ex-
tension workers of the United States
Department of Agriculture. A test
ing circle is usually a grotp OF about
six women in a community who try
out one article at a time in their
homes, and then pass it on in ex-
change for another piece of desirable
equipment. Testing circles were
formed in rural communities all ov-
er the State.
AS a result of trying out labor
saving devices in their homes, los
women bought pressure cookers for
canning and cooking, SO bought fire
less cookers, rs bought dish drain
ers, 70 selected utility tables, 60
wanted steam cookers, "a purchased
gasoline irons, 20 installed bread
mixers and 10 obtained vacuum
cleaners. 1t is interesting to note
that the dish drainer apparently saw
ed more actual time to each indivi-
dual user than any other device ex-
cept the pressure cooker, which, it is
will save Washington
house wives 32,445 hours of time
annually. Moreover, a dish drain
er saves energy as well as time. since
the operation of wiping the dishes |
is eliminated. This would not b. |

barrels and shipped about the middle
of July, 1919, arriving on the is
land early in September. This is
probably the longest haul OF seed
cane in large quantity, ever made.
The immune cane was grown by
the Federal and insular experiment
stations for the purpose of increas-
ing the quantity of seed cane. Later
this was distributed to each of the
centrals on the island, and recent
report shows that 1t has been giving
very good results. One of the sta
tons had 500 acres of Kavangire this
year and is planning to increase to
1000 acres next year. Another has
200 acres in one valley and consid-
cradle paintings In other districts.
About half of the cane acreage in
this locality is now out of can be-
cause of the mosaic disease and only
the new variety will be planted here
after.
One grower of the immune variety
reports yields of from 40 to so tons
an acre, with sucrose content of 16
to II per cent. Another planter says
he sold 2 acres of this variety for
seed, receiving $500 for the standing
cane.

Growers Find Grading Pays, Says
Shippers Association.

"The advantage of Standardization
is no longer a theory but an ac'
complished fact. Our selling price
was from Is to SO cents per bushel
higher than the other houses in this
district, and the greatest advantages
of a standard grade and pack VIII, OF
course, be secured in coming seasons,
provided we maintain our standards.
This is but one of the many let
tiers being received by the Bureau OF
Agriculture Economics, United States
Department of Agriculture, from pro-
ducers' and shippers organizations
which have adopted Federal grades
for fruits and vegetables. The letter
is from a cooperative peach shippers
organization in Ohio.
1--WE packed out our entire crop on
the United States grades" wrote the
president of the organization. "Ali
our members are we'll pleased and,
best of all, determined to begin In
their own orchards at once to try to
produce fruit of higher and better
quality. We see no point at which
the standards recommended by your
department for peaches are not thor
oughly practical, and another year
we will doubtless eliminate the old
markings entirely"

A check on the reacting cattle sold
on the Buffalo market shows that the
efforts of the Packers and Stockyards
Administration and the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture have been
securing better treatment for per-
sons who have cattle of this class
to sell. Records from June l to
September % show that on total of
542 head of tuberculous cattle the
gross price paid was s22.17, less ex-
penses of $3.S4, making a net price
of $1S.33 per head. In the past.
records had been kept on $500 head
and the average price paid was only
$14.5O. Few buyers are now taking
of the farmer who is try
ing to clean up his herd. Many of
them find that they can afford to pay
as much for reactors that are not
cond emned as unfit for food as they
can pay for INFESTED cattle OF the
same kind and quality.

Toads of Some Use In Curbing Ger
tain Pests.

Toads of Some Use In CURLING Ger
tain Pests.
Toads have been reputed to aid in
.curbing the numbers of injurious in
sects and other similar pests. To as
certain the facts in the case the Bio
logical Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture has ana
lyzed the contents of the stomachs of
502 common toads, and reports that
while the findings regarding the
choice of food are of interest they
thus far fail to demonstrate that
toads are of great economic import
ance. Toads go constantly about
their own work of gaining a liveli-
hood, and so undoubtedly fill their
proper place in nature. They are
never very numerous in one locality,
however, and as they can not adopt
She methods of birds and traverse
wide stretches of land to aid in COM
batting abnormal local increases OF
crop and garden pests their influence
is not strongly felt. The investiga-
tion shows that certain portion OF
the toad's food is made up OF in
iurious insects and other pests OF
growing plants, and that the toad
performs some service in such places
as greenhouses, gardens, fields of
small grain, and golf courses. Any
harm that toads do in the consump-
ton of beneficial beetles and other
insects useful to man is Of little
economic importance and does not
warrant their indiscriminate destruc- |
ton.

New Variety Taking Place OF Dis
ease-Affected Cane.

Five years ago the sugar planta'
tions of Porto Rico were threatened
with disaster because of the sudden
appearance and the rapid spread of a
serious disease known as yellow
stripe, or mosaic disease. and the
planters appealed to the United
States Department of Agriculture for
help. Investigators sent to the is
land by the Bureau of Plant Indus
try TO cooperate with the insular and
Federal experiment stations there
soon discovered that a variety of
cane known as Kayangire, then be-
ing grown only in experimental plats,
seemed to be immune to the disease,
which was attacking practically every
other variety grown in Porto Rico.
Kavangire cane is grown COM
mercially in the Argentine, and thru
the effective cooperation OF the di-
rector of the THURMAN Agricultural
Experiment Station the department
made arrangements for an imme-
date shipment Of tons Of seed
cane Of that variety to Porto Rico.
The cane was packed in charcoal in

Wide Spread of Corn Borer In Four
New England States

New England States
Fourteen townships in the Merri-
mack Valley of New Hampshire were
newly invaded this year by the Eu-
ropean corn borer, which has been a
destructive pest for the last five
years along the Atlantic coast of the
New England States. Reports of the
field representatives of the Bureau
of Entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture indicate
that Nashua, Hudson, Bedford, Con-
cord, Merrimack, Manchester. Hook
sett, Litchfield, Londonderry, Canter-
bury, Boscawen, Franklin, Bow and
Hill are affected The corn borer is
also established in Massachusetts as
far west as Lancaster. Clinton,
Shrewsbury, and Worcester. Its
new area extends into Maine as far
up the coast as Saco, and through
three townships of Rhode Island near
Providence.
On October 10 the commissioner of
agriculture of Massachusetts, A. w.
Gilbert, conducted party of State
and Federal legislators and entomol-
ogists over the most heavily infest-
ed area with the idea of securing ad-
ditional funds for the purpose of |
the corn borer in these
heavily infested weed and garden dis
tricts. At the present time available
funds are insufficient to stop the
further spread of this pest, which at
lacks truck crops as we'll as corn,
and is even destroying the beautiful
tall New England flowers, such as
lahlias and asters.
