VITAMES NOT A CURE-ALL

The present popular tendency to
extol vitames as cure-all may be
drawing to a close. The U. S.
Public Health Service reports that
efforts during the year to discover
the unidentified food substance
whose absence from the diet causes
pellagra have excluded two of the
three known vitamines. The search
for the missing element is being
steadily narrowed.

Prepared BY Dsssr.'at Un'shy Of Ainns'n

Blue Gray Worm Doing Damage In Ger.
tain Districts Of Minnesota
Remedy In Orchards.

The forest tent caterpillar, the blu.
ish gray worm with diamond shape
white spots along the middle of its
back, has been stripping the foliage
from countless trees in districts west
and northwest of the Twin Cities. This
pest is Matched from eggs which are
laid in the summer or fall months in
circles about the twigs of the tree. 1t
is estimated that more than 80 per
cent of these eggs are laid in Eastwood
trees, hence the Eastwood is the first
to suffer when the hatch is made. The
elm, maple and many other varieties
are also favorite feeding grounds Of
this caterpillar. Apple and other fruit
trees are not immune.
This worm has been known to ap.
pear in such numbers that it has been
able to gum up the railway service and
actually prevent the passage Of trains.
Reports received by entomologists at
University Farm this year tell of the
presence of myriads of the pest around
st. Cloud, Osakis and many other
points in Minnesota. Shade trees about
town and trees in wood lots have prac-
tically been denuded of their foliage
in many instances. Such trees are
materially weakened and if the pro-
cess of stripping were repeated every
year they would eventually be killed.
What really saves the situation, says
State Entomologist A. G. Ruggles Of
University Farm, is the fact that only
one generation Of this caterpillar is
Y7R0ASV0nH uuSf q
which are generally laid in July, do
not hatch until the coming spring.
Various parasites also contribute
nightly in keeping the caterpillar
family in check. For series of years
the parasites may have the upper
hand and the destructive caterpillars
become so reduced in numbers that
little account is taken of them. Finally
the parasites having eaten their hosts
are themselves practically wiped out
by starvation. This is the caterpil-
lars opportunity: those which have
survived begin to thrive and continue
to increase in numbers until by change
Of fortune the parasites again assume
control. This accounts. Mr.. Ruggles
says, for the periodic outbreak Of
many of our caterpillar pests.
It appears, therefore, for wood lots,
that natures method of control is tho
only method. Fruit trees can be saved
by the use of the ordinary spray ma
terials, and shade trees, when stand
ing alone, can be protected by bands
Of tanglefoot or other sticky material
which will prevent the worm from
climbing up the trunk to the spreading
branches. The bands should be kept
clean and occasionally renewed in or
der to retain their effectiveness.

Blackhead, an infectious disease OF

fowls when turkeys are raise on

medicine at University Farm, lis gen.

bers through the droppings from the

Humming Bird whispered and buzzed
as she talked to her children, .you
must do many things: You are sew.
eral weeks old now, your feathers are
pretty and are growing nicely. Your

Humming Birds should be as soon as
they grow up little.
Yes you're growing into perfect

Wnom any Mother Humming Bird
would be proud, and indeed 1 am
proud Of you. Now I must give you

And Mother Humming Bird taught
her children to fly.
"Ah," she said, you were lint a

feathers appeared On your dear little
oacks and your beaks began to show
that they were growing then, too.
I'm about two weeks time you had

have all little birds could ask for!
You are very wonderful"
So Mother Humming Bird showed
now much like all mothers she was
Tor her babies had done Just ss
other Humming Bird babies had done
land other mothers had been proud
Just as she was proud.
"Ah,' said little Humming Bird One,
as she called the elder one, you have

US the most delicious Of insect meals.
You have been so good a mother to

down our throats, and 80 we had our
food properly given to us--or properly

Now we must look more after our

So the Humming Birds practiced
their Gying lessons more and more
after this And
