Colorado Potato Beetle

eggs. The eggs are placed in clusters
on the under side Of the leaves and are
conspicuous by their yellow color. In
week small. plump slugs hatch.
which feed on the foliage for some
three weeks, then enter the ground to
pupate and about three weeks later
emerge as adult striped beetles.
A second generation follows the
same cycle Of eggs, grub, pupa and
adult. Although there Is much over
tapping Of the stages. the first genera
ton Of grubs Is most abundant during
July and August. 1t is In the grub
stage that most Of the damage is done
and, accordingly, spraying with poi
son should be given to ward off their
| feeding. There is no set time TO spray
and no set number of applications.
Either arsenate Of lead, one 10 two
pounds to fifty gallons of water. or
paris green, one-half pound to fifty
gallons, will serve, but in the latter
case care must be taken to keep the

Simple Rule to Insure
Profit From Home Garden

Though the insect, fungus and bac-
terial pests that trouble garden, orna-
mental and orchard plants number
among the thousands. they can be fair
ly well controlled even by the anna
teur, says V. r. Gardner, of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture.
Fortunately, the amateur does not
need to know all the pests by name to
control them. Let him remember that
most cankers, leaf spots, scabs, bllghts,
willis, mildews and rusts are the work
of fungus or bacterial diseases and
that insects are of two main types
those that eat holes and those that
suck juices through bill-and he has
fair chance Of diagnosing accurately
the general cause Of his trouble. Then
let him remember that bordeaux mix.

the sucking Insects; let him provide
himself with these materials and with
good busting apparatus or liquid
spFayer for putting them on and he is
ready for the battle. Let him remem-
Der that a vigorous offensive is often
the best defense and take the battle

Cholera Loss More

Hog cholera caused a loss Of more
than S27,00o.o00 to the swine industry
Of the United States during the year
ended April 80, 1924, according to a re-
cent compilation by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. More than
half Of the total loss occurred in the
corn belt states, where hogs are espe-
clally numerous. A comparison Of the
number of hogs, with the loss caused
by cholera In each state, shows that
the ravages Of the disease are approx.
imately In proportion to the hog popu-
lation.
In computing the losses from hog
cholera, specialists Of the bureau Of
animal industry estimate that 50 per
cent Of losses from all causes are due
TO this dread disease. Most Of this
loss can be prevented by the proper
sanitation and the preventlye-serum
treatment. Bulletins giving full lnfor-
nation on hog cholera. its control and
prevention may be obtained on request
from the United States Department of

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swsmp-Root

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's swamp-Root Is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re.
Jected is because kidney trouble is 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applications
are declined do not. even suspect that
they have the disease. Dr.. Kilmer's
swamp Root Is on sale at all drug stores
IN bottles Of two sizes, medium and large.
However. If you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr..
kilmer 4 Co, Bipghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing. be sure
and mention this paper.-Advertisement.

Form, Dense Swanps

A mangrove swamp is a formation
common on seaeoasts and tidal river
shores In tropical and sub-troplcal
climates. The dominant vegetation
consists of mangroye trees inter
spersed with plants Of similar habit.
The accumulation of debris and mud
among the roots and trunks builds
Up the land so that bays are filed
and river banks extended until the
streams are restricted to narrow
channels between dense walls Of trees
which completely conceal the shores,
Nany such swamps are found on the
coast Of Florida.

White Grub Pest
Shows Increase
Crop Rotation Is Important
in Preventing Damage
Done by Worms.

The common white grubs, also called
grub worms" are one stage Of the
moderately large brown beetle known
as May beetle or June bug. The adult
beetle feeds on the larvae Of such trees
as oak, ash, hickory, poplar, elm, Will
low, walnut, locust and blackberry.
The parent beetle energies from the
earth In the spring and deposits eggs
In the soil from one to Eve inches deep
and usually near grass or weed roots.
The eggs are laid In May and June
and hatch In about two weeks. The
young grubs Matching from the eggs
are very small and for a while feed on
organic or slightly decayed vegetable
matter In the soil. Later these grubs
Will attack the roots of grasses OF agri-
cultural crops which happen to be
growing in the field.
Feed Near Surface.
During the growing season for yege-
tation and active season Of the insects,
the grubs feed near the surface Of the
soil. AT the approach of cold weather,
the grubs begin to burrow downward
TO avoid freezing.
Most Of the common June bugs spend
three years in developing from the egg
to the adult beetle. The grubs usually
change to the adult sometime during
the second or third fall Of their life
period.
The native food Of the white grub Is
grass roots In the meadow or pasture.
Crops planted on sod land usually
suffer severely from the attack Of
hordes of grubs for a period Of two to
three years.
The white grub as pest Is increas-
ing Its damage TO wheat in several To-
calltles One Of the best control meas
ures where wheat is to be grown is to
summer fallow. that Is, to pillow the
wheat land as soon as possible after
harvest. (This is also a control for
the Hessian fly.) Disk and harrow the
ground frequently and prepare firm
seed bed. Starve the white grub.
Rotation is Favored.
Rotation Of crops is of great impor-
lance in avoiding damage by grub
worms. Beetles do not prefer TO de-
posit eggs in fields of alfalfa, clover,
corn. strawberries, beans or potato $.
Small grains are usually less attacked
than other crops except wheat.
Where practical, pasture the infest-
ed fields with swine Fall blowing,
previous to the grubs going deep into
the ground. will help to rid the soil Of
many worms. Pillow deep.-W. Il. Jack

Suggestions on Picking
Corn to Save for Seed

In selecting the kind of corn to save
for seed. a great deal depends uron
the corn plant itself. If our seed corn
is selected in the bin alone. this i'm
portant fact is lost sight of.
Now, most good growers save seed
corn from the good earIy-maturIng
plants, as they are shocking out .he
corn at harvest. The ears from these
superior plants are thrown Into box
at the front of the wagon. and are kept
separately, so that they will have the
best Of opportunities to dry quickly.
Then, in the winter, these growers Sc
lect out the types OF ears they want
for seed. In this way their seed ears
are all of the right type and very good
plants.
Seed ears should come from medium
sized plants. which stand up straight
and which show good evidences of ma
turing early. These plants should be
free from suckers and should be in av-
erage conditions as regards soil. mois-
ture, feed and light. Ears should be
heavy and of medium fair size.-waldo

TREE GROWTH

Underneath the bark, upon the
trunks Of the trees, new layers Of
wood were growing.
"That Is the way" said Mother Ma
ture. shat my trees grow, and by the
rings made by these new layers each
year the ages of my trees can be told.
Sometimes those who know about
trees bore into the core of the trunk
Of each tree and, taking It out, find
out how old the tree Is. Then the
hole can DO closed up carefully and
the tree can grow on.
"In olden times they sometimes
cut down tree to find out Its age,
but they have found out that that Is
not necessary and that 1t Is only fool
fish to destroy the trees.
Il must tell you some more about
my trees" continued Mother Nature

Cause Of Barren Stalks

Poor seed is by far the greatest
cause of barren stalks in a eorntield.
They are also caused by insects and
diseases that attack the plant about
the time that the ear is beginning to
form. The corn root worm, the COM
mon white grub and the corn root
aphis will accomplish the same result.
A thin soil that is not adapted to corn
will often produce large numbers OF
barren stalks. and corn that is planted
too thick will do the same.

The cultivated strawberries now
grown in Europe and America owe
their size to ancestors in Chile. Or
to 1714 large fruited strawberries
were not known In Europe. the native
berries being small, but Of good flavor
In that year a Frenchman brought
plants from Chile. These were crossed
with native sorts and with the vlr.

rope early in the previous century
By this crossing plants were developed
which combined large size with deli
