Storage of clothing in a cedar
lined closet. although a very good
practice, will not always prevent dam
age by moths, according to Prof. j. A.
Munro, entomologist at the North
Dakota Agricultural college. The
odor from cedar oil acts as repellant
to moths. but occasionally a moth
may be imprisoned in a cedar chest
or cedar closet and. when this hap

All clothing should be we'll aired

where clothing is stored in ordinary
closets or in attics. It is also a
good practice to place camphor balls
in the pockets Of the garments. The
odor acts as repellent to moths. If
only few garments are to be pro-
tected, the use of an ordinary moth
proof bag will give excellent results.
The clothes moth is a very tiny in
sect. having wing expanse Of about
half an inch, and is a yellowish brown
color. This moth lays its eggs direct
ly on clothing, and shortly after the
eggs are laid they will hatch into
worms or larvae which are the real
cause Of the injury to clothing.

STARTING LETTUCE
in HOTBEDS GIVES
BEST N. D. RESULTS
Ten Days After Sowing, Plants
Should Be Transferred to
Flats, to Field in Month

The SureSt way to grow head let
tuce is to sow the seed in hotbeds
about March IS, transplant into flats
about ten days later so as to insure
9 good root system, and transplant
into the field as soon as possible after
April Is. That is the advice given by
Oliver Strand, assistant horticulture
list at the North Dakota agricultural
college.
That the plants should be exposed
to the outside air few days before
being set out is the opinion of MIR.
Strand, after number OF years OF
practical experience with head let
tuce. If the weather is above normal
for week or so prior to April Is it
may not stay there. SO one had bet
ter wait until after the next cold spell
before setting out the plants, he adj
viSes. However, If the weather has
been below normal up to April Is it
may be considered safe to plant as
soon as the weather moderates. Plants
should not be exposed to freezing
weather for the first day or two after
taking out of the hotbed.
Plants should be set out in q good
rich soil in rows 16 inches apart and
IL inches apart in the rows, and the
ground should be stirred to prevent
growth of weeds. II these directions
are followed, as suggested by Mr..
Strand, one may be assured of good
percentage Of heads any year.
It is not absolutely necessary to
grow lettuce from dollhouse plants,
according to Mr.. Strand. It may also
be grown from seeds sown directly in
the field, but the heads are smaller
and greater number go to seed.

conclusion after questioning $50 peo-
pie who grow plants in their homes
In North Dakota.
There Is = general feeling that gas
Is decidedly injurious to house plants.
according to Mr.. Yeager. He finds
that heating and cooking systems
would appear to rank in the follow

Hot water heat-no gas used in

Samples Of the common wheat av-

RED RIVER VALLEY
immunity TO GRUB
IN CATTLE STUDIED
Federal Department Of Agricul-

ret Out Secret

The absence Of cattle grubs in the
Red river valley region has prompted
the United States department of ag-
riculture to send w. q. Bruce, ento-
mologist. to North Dakota to make a
special study Of this cattle pest. Mr..
Bruce is now located in the offices
Of Prof. J. A. Munro, entomologist at
the North Dakota agricultural coll
lege.
Mr.. Bruce plans to introduce cattle
grubs under controlled conditions, and
in that manner find out what phys
ical or chemical conditions exist In
the Red river valley region that kill
off the grubs. Very frequently cattle
that are infested with grubs are
shipped into the area, but the grubs
soon disappear.
The cattle grubs or OK MARBLES
cause from five to seven million dol
lars damage to cattle hides each year
IN the United States, it is estimated.
Cattlemen take loss of $5O,OOO, 900
each year where the grubs cut the
flesh gains down, effect lower milk
production, and cause damage to the
flesh.
