I Gasoline for an Empire T" HE eleven states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an empire in area,wealth, population, and industrial activities. It conI stitutes the largest and most important market for I petroleum products on the American continent. I To win such a market, to gain the confidence, and I enjoy the respect of this buying public is a task I worth while. I To achieve this objective, to merit the confidence I of its patrons, and to be prepared at all times to I serve them, has been for many years the dominatI ing idea of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). I To make its service more comprehensive it nianuI factures special grades of its products to meet I special requirements. I For example, take gasoline. Under this general I head come fifteen different products, each made I with scientific precision to meet a specific, wellI defined need. I For the motorist the Standard Oil Company I (Indiana) makes Red Crown Gasoline. This product I is made for the sole purpose of generating power I in the modern internal combustion engine. It has a I chain of boiling point fractions carefully adjusted I and graduated with scientific exactness to enable you I to get from your engine all the power it can develop. I In attacking the problem of supplying motor I gasoline for 30 million people, three main points I were considered — | First — Quality: The gasoline must function I perfectly: to do this nothing short of scientific preI cision is sufficient. I Second— Quantity: To meet the ever-grow-I ing demands for motor fuel, the yield of gasoline I must be great if the cost is to be kept down. I Third—Distribution: To make it easy tor the I consumer, wherever he may live, to secure 1 gallon I or 1000 gallons of gasoline, whenever he may need it. I In Red Crown Gasoline is symbolized the ideals I animating the Board of Directors of the Standard I Oil Company (Indiana). Red Crown is highly | efficient —it is produced in large quantities, and I sold at a price that is fair to all. I Red Crown has achieved leadership by rendering I a maximum of service just as the Standard Oil ComI pany (Indiana) has become a leader in the industry I by rendering a definite, positive, essential service. I It is by such standards that the Standard Oil I Company (Indiana) measures its usefulness, and I by maintaining such standards it intends to conI tinue this leadership by meriting the confidence I and respect of the public it serves.

NEW CORN PEST INVADES THIS COUNTRY FOR MEXICO A comparatively now corn insect that promises to become a serious pest has made its appearance In south ern Texas and New Mexico accord hiK to reports to the Bureau of KnJoinology of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is a boring caterpillar closely related to the larger corn-stalk borer of the South Atlantic States, and has been identified by tile bureau as Diatraea lineolata Walker. At least two generations occur annually in tile Dig Bend region of Texas j and the full-grown caterpillars of the second generation hibernate in tiecorn stubble underground. During February many fields wore found in tills region in which 2 per cent of the horn stubble contained hibernating caterpillars. According to representatives of tlie bureau who have investigated Hie situation tile distribution is very imperfectly known, Imt the pest is believed to inhabit most of southern New Mexico, particularly the Peaces River Valley, and is numerous in southwestern Texas. Apparently, it Is said, this pest is moving northward from Mexico, where it was abundant and very injurous last season. This species has been known to lie present in southern New Mexico j since 1913, and was studied in a preliminary way there by a representative ■of the bureau in the early spring of 1914. —• BOLL WEEVIL APPROACHES LIMITS OF COTTON BELT After thirty years of slow, persistent advance since its first appearance in this country near the Mexi-' I can border the boll weevil has now I 'reached the limit of cotton, cultiva--1 tion. except in western Texas, south ! western Oklahoma. northeastern , North Carolina and Virginia, accord- ■ ing to Department Circular 210, DisI persion of the 801 l Weevil in 1921, I just issued by the United States deIpartment of Agriculutre. Each step of the spread has been against the ' stubborn efforts of the government, I the states, and the individual plant- ' ers to hold the pest in check. The mild winter of 1920-1921 and the wet summer of 1921 favored an I abnormal multiplication of the sect throughout the territory affected. In determining the extent of its spread last year the search over a great part of the territory surveyed was for the last cotton fields rather than for the weevil because all fields I were infested. It still remains to be seen, says the circular, whether the weevil can maintain existence in the extreme portions of the cotton belt in which it now finds itself. For the first time the states of Missouri and Kentucky were invaded by the weevil and all fields in these states were found to be infested. The gain west of the Mississippi river is very nearly equal to that east of the river. The greatest gain in any single state, however, is 15,700 square miles in North Carolina. The circular contains a map showing the spread of the pest each year since its discoverey in 1892 in the southernmost tip of Texas. Copies

SCIENTISTS SEEK PARASITES OF TWO DESTRUCTIVE MOTHS The search for foreign parasites of the gipsy and the brow-tail moths, se rious insect pests introduced some years ago into the United States, has been resumed by the United States Department of Agriculture, following an interruption duo to war conditions. S. S. Crossman and Dr. John N. Summers. who have been associated with this branch of the work 6f the Bureau of Entomology for several years, left this country the latter part of January to take up the hunt in Europe anil japan, respectively. Prior to the war parasites from abroad were received in this country and were propagated and disseminated throughout the area infested witli the pests. Many of the species imported were successfully established, and it was purposed to continue the work of importing, studying and colonizing in the field all species of parasites found to aid in the control of the two pests in their native homes. The outbreak of the war, however, prevented this. It is believed that much benefit will be derived from further work abroad in importing beneficial parasites to aid in control in this country. A number of the species imported prior to the interruption did not become established for various reasons, some of which are not well understood at this time. Ft seems certain, it is said, that some of these species can be established. Mr. Crossman will visit Portugal, Spail, Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, and Germany in an endeavor to supplement the information which the department already has regarding the moths in their native homes, as well as the parasites which attack them. Dr. Summers will visit the localities in Japan which promise the greatest results. TILE DRAINAGE POPULAR ON WEST VIRGINIA FARMS Farmers of West Virginia are showing a keen interest in the improvement of their land by tile drainage, and under co-operative agreement with the Extension Service of tile State University, the Bureau of Public Roads. United States- Department of Agriculture, did considerable drainage work there last year. This service included examination of 5 projects in 16 counties, in which 1,502 rods of tile drains were planned for 202 acres of wet land. About 30 per cent of this work has been completed or is now’ under construction. In addition to the planning of drainage systems a number of demonstrations in tile laying have been made in the state. ... "■ ■ TNT may be fired into by a rifle bullet without exploding.

GIVE THE CHIILDRERN PLENTY OF MILK Wliat everyday proof have we that folik has good growing material for boys and girls? It is the only food the majority of children get for the first .nine months of their lives, yet they live on It, they grow on it. they do their work on playing, kicking and crying on It. What does milk supply? It supplies building material for the bones, teetli and muscles, it keeps tile heart limiting regularly, it strengthens the nerves and every other part of the body. It has a growing force which makes weak bodies grow into strong ones. Would any other food do as well? No other on food contains as many of the various growing materials needed by children. No other one food supplies enough building material for bones and teeth. Good bones and teeth need lime for building. Children need a variety of growing materials and they must all be supplied im every child is to be a strong healthy man or woman. How much milk should children have? Every child must, have nt least one pint of milk a day to supply material for good bones and teeth. Every child ought to have a least one quart of milk a day because it is so easily built up into body tissue. What is its value for adults? It is an excellent food for adults. It might take the place of some meat. At least a cup of milk per adult per day should be used in the food or taken as a beverage. • « The food value of milk is the same whether the milk is taken in cooked foods or as a beverage. What is the food value of coffee or tea? Coffee and tea have no food value. Are they harmful? They are harmful for growing children because they dull the apetite so that the children feel satisfied before all the necessary growing material has been supplied. —Courtesy of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, New York City.
