To control alfalfa wilt, Arthur
Frank of the Western Washington
Experiment Station recommends Gull
tivation of the field to form dry
mulch on the surface of the ground
which tends to prevent the growth Of
the fungus. Practice crop rotation
in which no clover or alfalfa is used
for two or three years. Deep plow-
ing is also beneficial. BY deep plow-
ing the fungus is buried in the ground
so deeply that it cannot get the neces-
sary air for growth and it dies.
Where fields are badly diseased, rs
per cent or higher of the plants being
infected, it is advisable to plow them
up and let some cultivated crop grow
for three or four years. Where soils
are acid, plants are more susceptible
to this fungus.

Newly Decorated Rooms In
White House Reflect
Modern Trend

In selecting the decorations and
furnishings for her own room and
also for the Presidents room, Mrs.
Coolidge. has brought about a de,
lightful harmony of strong and
beautiful colorings For the Prcsi-
dents room she selected one OF the
new scenic wallpapcrs,-cool, sober,
restrained and classic in its effect.
The coloring Of this paper is deep
blue and grey and gives the room
unusual interest because of the
many vistas which are opened up
by reason Of its carefully drawn
perspectivcs For her own room,
Mrs. Coolidge chose gay floral
paper OF the chintz type in soft rose
and apricot colorings. The furni.
ture in both rooms is splendid
collection of original American
pieces. It is perhaps something
more than coincidence that the
same paper used at the White
House has been recently selected
by Ambassador Herrick for one of
the rooms soon to be redecorated
at the American Embassy in Paris.

when its paint begins to wear off.
Paint fills cracks and crevices, and
sends its tentaclcs down into the
pores of the wood, keeping out the
rain which destroys it. Tin caves
and drain-pipes require similar
protection from rust.
While paint in any color is pro-
tcctive, the pleasing appearance of
a house is wholly dependent upon
the choice of the right color
scheme. A paint dress for the home
should be selected as a woman of
taste and discrimination selects
costume for herself-with a view to
its suitability to type, style, lines,
etc. In short, it should be ."be-
coming"
White, cream, or the light colors
are best suited to the large house.
The cottage or bungalow may be
more wildly painted Where houses
are close together, similarity--or at
least harmony-is desirable. A
bright color scheme for the tree
shaded house, and more subdued
one for the house in the open, is
good rule to follow.

TINE cozy little house, gaily
l. Haunting new spring dress of
fresh paint, is sign-post of cheer
to the passerby. Nature, with her
springtime blooms and verdure, has
set standard. Without its bright,
new coat of paint, the little house
would look woefully shabby in the
midst of the many colored flowers
and the jubilant green of young
grass and foliage.
And the little house with its new
coat of paint is setting a standard,
also. Adjacent houses that need
painting look all the worse by con-
trast. Their owners will feel COM
PEELED to paint up" too The tone
of the whole neighborhood will be
the better for it.
Property values will go up &C
cordingly. For paint is prescrva-
tive; and property is worth more
when thus safeguarded against de-
terioration. The best built house
is at the mercy of the elements

BONUS ANNOUNCED FOR
PHONE STOCKHOLDERS

An unusual example of the generous
treatment of purchasers of utility
stock was the announcement sent this
month by the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company to all purchasers
of American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company stock under the par
tial payment plan of the Bell Tele-
phone Securities Company advising
them that credit of 1921 share
had been given their accounts in lieu
of the rights" that they would have
received had they been actually
stockholders Of record on June 8.
Accounts in the Pacific Coast terri
tory totaling 5,4O7 shares have been
credited $35,937.50. In as much as
the contracts specify in each case that
interest shall be paid at rate of five
per cent on all payments but all divi-
dends and rights shall accrue to the
securities company until the stock is
paid for in full, it is declared gener-
GUS step. Instead of using the rights"
to which it is entitled as the owner Of
the shares which it had already pur-
chased for subscribers in the open
market, the securities company elect
ed to dispose of the rights for cash
and credit the accounts of it's partial
payment subscribers with the pro-
ceeds.
The closing price of the A. T. & I.
rights" on the New York stock ex-
change for each day of the "when-as
and if issued" market was taken, an
average of those prices was 1921,
giving the fair value to be credited to
purchasers. Interest
will accrue on the special credits from
July 1.
Since May 20, 1,410 individuals in
Washington, Oregon, California and
Nevada applied for 12,277- rights. In
since January 1, 5,O52 in
dividuals have purchased 23,345

Kelso Orchard Saved
From Tent Caterpillars

KELSO-Cotton batting strips tied
to each tree proved successful in pro-
tecting $500 young pear trees belong
ing to B. H. Hamilton from an inva-
sion Of tent caterpillars. The worms
started work in hordes after defoliat-

strips were tied to each trunk and

This barrier proved effective where
spraying would have done little good

NATURE DIRECTS
OUR DIET

A JADED hot weather appetite
n seems to be our common lot
during the summer months. We
eat without relish and in az small
quantities as our consciences will
allow. Then we wonder why we
feel tagged and irritable. The rea-
son Is that we are not getting prop
er nourishment.
Every minute Of our lives we are
drawing upon our fuel supply. 1t
must be replenished constantly.
When we cut down our meals we
lower the fuel supply and must pay
the penalty in reduced energy and
vitality.
1t is natural for the appetite to
cut capers during the hot weather.
This is natures way of indicating
that a variation OF diet Is necessary
Light. cool foods appeal to us and
since instinct Is an excellent guide
these are what we should eat. 1t
happens very rarely that the thing
we want to do Is just the thing we
should do, but when our faded
palate responds more actively to
ice cream, for instance, than 20
ham and eggs. we cannot go far
wrong in satisfying the desire. Ice
cream contains the same strength
giving substances as lean meat
cheese, eggs and similar dishes. 1t
also contains butterfat such as are
found in rich meats, milk and
cream and, In addition. contains
the fruits. Juices and sugars that
give II delicious flavor.
When we eat ice cream during
the summer. we not only refresh
ourselves and aid digestion by eat
ing something that Ia appealing.
hSf we also add to our fuel supply

CHICAGO-Hay is one Of the
leading farm crops of the United
States-New York, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Kansas, Cali
fernia, South Dakota, Ohio and Illi-
nois being the leading states in that
order, according to the q. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture. West Of
the Missouri river, nearly half the
hay crop is alfalfa. On the Pacific
slope much small grain is cut for
hay. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Tennes-
see lead in the clovers. The south
eastern states lead in the annual
legumes - soybeans, cowpeas,
vetches, peanuts, and field peas.
Soybeans, however, are having
rapid rise in the Corn Belt and
seem destined to occupy a consider
able place.

The use Of the grain drills, seed
ers, and grass seed attachments, as
well as special clover and alfalfa
drills, plays a big part in the proper
seeding Of the hay crops. Most Of
the crops are fitted into rotations,
the leguminous crops helping solve
the nitrogen problem. The harvest
ing Of the hay crop, however, is one
of the peak labor" jobs on the
American farm that has passed
through many mechanical changes
for speeding up and cutting man
labor costs. Until the hay loader
and mower, it was mostly hand
labor proposition with little hay
per man put up. The mower null
tiplied the acreage harvested rap
idly, and the loader helped multiply
the farmers harvest many times.
