World Pays Big Annual
Toll to Insect Pests

Persons who are inclined to glance
askance at the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars spent in insect con
troll work by experts of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, says the Wash
ington Star, would do well to re-
fleet on the annual loss in plant in
jury, which totals about 81 100000
600. This enormous loss is not
unique to the United States, how
ever, for it is estimated that in Great
Britain, for instance, fully 10 per
cent of all agricultural crops fall
victim to various plant enemies each
year.
The loss in the wheat crop due to
rust, smut, root-rOt and other dis
eases is set at about 97,000,000 BUSH
els annually, while the corn crop
pests account for 2S1,000000 BUSH
els, and pests claim about 95,000000
bushels of white potatoes each year.
The danger of the spread of vari-
Gus pests is illustrated by the case
of India and Ceylon, which once
thrived on coffee raising, but the cof-
fee fields were completely wiped out
by rust, forcing the substitution of
tea,

THE DAIRY SITUATION
From the Farmer.)

Only few brief months ago dairymen were
greatly concerned the possibility of overpro-
duction. temporary surplus of storage butter last
spring cost northwestern dairymen very large sums
of money through the toll taken out result of
publicity concerning this temporary surplus. In
view of the dairy situation today it is rather anus
ing to go back just few months and recollect the
steps that proposed to ward off the dangers
of continued overproducton. Nature has stepped in
this summer to take care of situation that prom
ised to be troublesome
For the country whole, dairy production is
now from 20 to 25 per cent under what it
ago. In the northwest it is estimated that pro-
duction is not more than five per cent under one
year ago. while the price situation is strengthened
very materially Over one-half of the price loss Of
the past year has been regained June of this year
showed the lowest average of the year with 329
cents for New York extras At the present time the
New York price on the grade is 40 cents, a
gain of IL cents to offset the decreased production
of five per cent So far the northwest is con-
cerned. dairymen in favorable position at this
time. Students of the market state that when Oc-
tober is reached, prices will be par with the NO
vember and December prices of year ago. This is
good news to northwestern farmers, most of whom
are dairy patrons. Minnesota farmers derive one
third of their income from dairy products, while in
North Dakota the dairy income is in excess of II
per cent and in South Dakota in excess of nine per
cent.

GEN. PERSHING is 20

General John J. Pershing, 70 years old
on August 13, has had perhaps the most re-
markable career of any American soldier
from the Army since 1924 is still active as
chairman of the American battle monuments
commission.
Born in Linn county, Missouri, he was
graduated from West Point in 1886, gaining
his first actual battle experience the same
year in the Apache Indian campaign. He
served in the Sioux war of 189O-91; in the
Santiago campaign of 1898, and distinguished
himself in successful campaigns against the
Moros in the Philippines, for which he was
promoted from captain to brigadier-generaL
He commanded the expedition sent into
Mexico in pursuit of Villa in 1916, and at the
outbreak of the World War was placed in
command of the American Expeditionary
Forces in France. For his distinguished SER

Armies Of the United States, rank created
for him by Congress in 1919. He also receiv-

A PLEA FOR CHILDREN

1t is becoming more and more matter
of common information that the health and
general well-being of people depend to a
great extent upon proper diet. Not the
diet prescribed by food faddists, but one
based upon scientific research and common
sense.
In this connection it is declared by home
economists that insufficient attention is paid
this respect are deserving of more consider
alton than is given in many homes.
Everyone knows that milk is good for
the growing child, but as many children OBJ
ject to plain milk, especially when it is forced
upon them, it is recommended that it be Of
fered in more palatable forms which may
be easily prepared in any home.
One suggestion is that in hot weather
milk shakes made of milk, sugar and a GER
cal beverage will appeal to a child who may
not relish plain milk. In colder weather the
same beverage may be served hot.
1t is also suggested that by this means
the child may be prevented from becoming
tea or coffee addict at an age when these
stimulants are positively injurious. In few
states campaigns have been begun by health
authorities for the purpose of educating
mothers concerning the evil effects of tea
and coffee upon their children
Another important recommendation is
that children be encouraged to drink water
freely between meals, as an aid in keeping
the kidneys active and healthy, so as to elm
mate impurities from the system.
These simple means recommended in
the interest of the child's health are worthy
of sdoption by every mother.

TESTING OF DAIRY COW IS IMPORTANT

The tuberculin tested dairy herd is fas
becoming an actuality. Under the Sank Cen
tre City ordinance any dealer selling milk il
this city must supply his produce from
fully accredited COWS. There is movemen
on foot to have every dairy COW in Stearn
county given the T. B. test. This should b.
done. In discussing this matter the follow
ing taken from the last issue of the Lane
O. Lakes Bulletin will be of interest:
The great Importance of having Mile Laos
county included in the T. B. tested area for
dairy herds is illustrated by the following editor
ial taken from the last issue of the Land o. Lakes
News:
"The matter of tuberculin test of dairy cattle
is becoming more and more important. Nearly
all cities now require that their milk and cream
supply must come from tuberculin tested herds
MANY cities are already requiring that
salted butter to be used in the manufacture of
ice cream must also be produced in tested
and of the Health Departments in our
large Eastern cities are considering requiring
the exclusion of butter for table purposes from
their markets that is not produced from tuber-
culin tested herds.
"The arguments for and against the test from
the standpoint of health of both the animals and
human family no longer enter into the picture
"If the farmers of this territory expect to take
advantage of the best markets that are available
their products must be produced under such
ditions as will permit their shipment into these
markets. '-.
"All Land O. Lakes butter that is sold in prints
or rolls is sold under the guarantee that it is
produced from tuberculin tested cows. Now is
the time to prepare for what is sure to come and
not wait until it is forced upon it has been
in areas where they are furnishing the milk and
cream supply. It takes time to do this testing
and if we wait until the last minute, we are
bound to suffer severe losses.
Cream shippers not required to have their
herds tested but they will soon have to submit
to barn inspection. The Health Department in
Newark New Jersey, which is one of our very
important cream markets has just passed an Or
dinance requiring barn inspection before they
will permit cream to be shipped into the city,
This ordinance has just been passed but has not
as yet been put into effect, but it will be only
short time before inspectors from this city will
be inspecting dairies in the Land o. Lakes ter
ritory as we are now shipping large quantities
of cream to Newark and could not afford to lose
this outlet for our farmers "
