BUD MOTH WORMS

Bud moth worms are very &C.
tive this season on many different
trees. These worms are the small
chocolate brown worms with black
heads which are rolling leaves up
together at the end of shoots and
near blossom clusters of apple,
pear, cherry, raspberry, black
berry and many other plants.
This season the worms are gnaw-
ing into the green cherries right
after they have been formed. The
worms drop by thread when they
are disturbed. Often they are
found rolled up inside a mass of
the leaf tissue.
The time to spray for the bud
moth is when the leaves unfold.
If the trees are sprayed then with
lead arsenate they may be protect
ed against the worms. At this
time there is nothing that can be
done. Spraying with the lead
arsenate is of no avail as the in
sects are nearly through feeding.
Soon they transform in their little
nests into small moth. These in
turn lay eggs, and few days lat
er these hatch out another brood
of the chocolate colored worms.
This occurs about the month Of
July. 1t is best to spray for the
protection of the trees with lead
arsenate about the middle of July
using the lead arsenate powder at
the rate of ! pound of the powd-
= to SO gallons of water. This
coats the leaves so that when the
insects start feeding again they
to the poison. The warm
spring this season has given them
a very good start and the worms
are very large and voracious.

Canning Cockerels

The family flock j S increasing
in size and weight each day, and
among their number will be found
many cockerels. One of the best
methods of caring for these young
fellows is to can them for next
winters use.
The canning season for cocker
els comes about the same season
all over the country, for it is the
time the poultrymen are culling
their flock and there is a surplus
on the market.
If each home followed the prac-
tice of canning enough chicken to
supply family needs until young
fry are ready the following season,
it would result in economy of time
and fuel and make unnecessary the
puchase Of very much meat.
Chickens may be roasted, fricas-
seed, fried or made into soup.
The directions for roasting fowl

A JINGLE ON TAXATION

j. H. Hutchins of Lamont who
is spending the winter in Spokane
believes that the following jingle
on taxation, written by a middle
west farmer, will be read with in
terest:
''Tax the people, tax with care,
to help the multimillionaire. Tax
the farmer, tax his fowl, tax his
dog and tax his howl. Tax his
hen and tax her egg and let the
bloomin' mudsill beg. Tax his
pig and tax his squeal, tax his
boots run down at heel; tax his
horses tax his lands, tax the bis
tiers on his hands. Tax his plgw
and tax his clothes, tax the rag
that wipes his nose. Tax his
house and tax his bed, tax the
bald spot on his head. Tax the OK
and tax the ass, tax his Henry
tax the gas; tax the road that he
mpst pass and make him travel
on the grass. Tax his COW and
tax the calf, tax him if he dares
to laugh. He is but common
man, so tax the cuss just all you

A light automobile cannot success
fully dispute the right-of-way with
heavy truck
A few days ago fleet Of trucks
drove down the middle of Roosevelt
road after dark, inadequately lighted
and smashed five automobiles with
in distance Of five miles. This is
only orc incident out Of many that
corld be cited. It may be said that
tFe remedy is to police the roads, but
here AGAIN the long suffering tax
payer would have to foot the bill.
Public Pays the Bill
The heavy truck freighting busin-
ess is being built upon a false and
lneconomic basis-that of a free pub
lie right-of-way. Last winter a big
Chicago coal company put fleet Of
40 heavy trucks to hauling coal from
Waukegan to Chicago, because it
could unload it's coal boats consider
ably cheaper at Waukegan than at
Chicago. Only one thing made this
profitable "a right-of-way that the
coal company did not have to main
tain. The damage to the highway
was many times greater than the saw
ing in dockage charges at Chicago
but the coal company did not have to
repair the highway. It let the tax
payer worry about that.
Because Of this advantage Of q
free right-of-way, heavy trucks are
doing great deal Of hauling that
should go by rail, and that should go
by rail, and that could be hauled

from trucks pays for only smaH
fraction of the damage they do 70

What is the remedy?
Here are five suggestions.
l. Reduce total weight limit Of
trucks to four tons, and Of trailem
to six tons.
z. Enforce these weight limits.

engineers authority to close high
ways to trucks during the spring.

much more cheaply by rail if the cost
Of highway construction and re-
pairs were taken into consideration.
We viii always have railways, in
spite of all that may be said about
their shortening They will al
ways be permitted to charge rates
that will enable them to live. If we
subsidize heavy trucks by furnishing
them with free roadbeds, and per-
NIT them to take away from the
railways by paying higher rates on
SO the public gets it going and com
ing.
1t is rumored that the 1923 Him
ois legislature will be asked to vote
for a new hard-road bond issue of
from s100,O00,0OO to s300,OOO,OOO.
Many counties are planning to issue
bonds for hard-road building Du-
Page county one Of the smaller
counties in the state, is voting on a
hard-road bond issue of$1 100000.
Why are we spending this tremen-
dous amount Of money? The ans
wer, Of course, is that we want good
roads. But why do we want good
roads? Primarily for our conven-
fence. When we want to take q
trip in our car we would like to ira
vel over good roads instead Of gettr
ing stuck in the mud. When the
market is good we would like to be
able to haul our crops to market.
None of>us vote for road bonds or
taxes to build and maintain roadbeds
for heavy freight truck lines. Yet
that is what most Of the money is
really used for. At the end Of 10
years we must repair or rebuild hard

for the heavy trucks.
We are spending $4,000 to $4o,-
600 mile for paved roads on routes
where type of road costing frac-
ton of that amount would be en-
tirely satisfactory for ordinary traf-
fic. But because we know that
heavy trucks would ruin the cheap
er road in year or two, we must
dig Into our pockets for several times
what the road should cost.
Taxpayers Weep
Last spring the condition of Roose-
welt road for miles to the west of
Chicago would bring tears to the
eyes Of any taxpayer. This road was
only six years old. The bonds that
or seven years old. The bonds that
built it were not half paid for, Yet
the road was full of holes where
heavy trucks had pounded the con-
crete to pieces. 1t was repaired at
heavy expense and the taxpayers
paid the bill. There was some little
talk about closer regulation Of heavy
trucks, but to judge from the looks
Of Roosevelt road the job will all
have to be DONE over again next
spring.
Is there any reason in justice or
common sense why taxpayers should
build and maintain road-beds for
trucks are a convenience to nearly
everyone, and they do comparatively
little damage to the roads. Heavy
t{udk Lines are ney-maldng in
sttution, operated for the profit Of
their owners, just as the railroads
arr. They are able 70 make q pro-
fit only because the taxpaying public
