Bugs That Eat Bags.

We hardly realize that $250,000,000 a year, or about $5,000,000 a week, is spent directly and indirectly in trying to check the ravages of the insect pests that prey on the crops. Besides this, the pests eat, according to government estimates, about $800,000,000 worth of food annually, which brings their cost up to over $1,000,000,000 a year clear loss. In every state effective war is waged on these pests. But the result is not seen in a diminished loss. Every weapon known to science is employed. But no sooner is a particular pest conquered in one part of the country than it appears in another. Emphasis has been placed in recent years on insect-destroying birds, ana these are being protected in all kinds of ways. Laws against the use of bird feathers on hats are part of this protection, and in many states forest areas have been established as bird refuges. Science has also attacked the problem of breeding insects to destroy other insects. The melon aphis, for example, used to cost the melon growers in one California vailed $5,00(1,000 a year. The lady bug, it was found, devoured the aphis. So lady bugs were collected arid kept in cold storage. About 2,GOO pounds were gathered in certain canyons of the Sierras, each pound representing about 25,000 bugs. They bred prodigiously. It was found that 50$00 of them would keep twenty acres of melons free of the aphis and other plant lice. As a result, bumper crops have since been raised. So now scientists are studying the problem of hugs to eat bugs, which shall in themselves be ham. less to the crops. And thus the battle for the crops goes on yearly, and never before, perhaps, with such success or with such general application. —Popular Mechanics.

A WORD ABOUT THE PUBLICATIONS WE OFFER

PLOW EARLY.

Three Acres Plowed in July Are Worth Five Acres l’iowed in September. We feed 50,000,000 bushels of good wheat to the Hessian Fly every year to say nothing of what it costs us to feed our chinch bugs and other pests, and liavo only ourselves to blame. There is only one subject in which all farmers ashee, and that is, high taxes. They j want pay for sheep killed by the neighbor's dogs. Why notvgsk pay for the wheat killed by the neighbor's Hessian tiles? Get together. Every neighborhood should have a Farmers’ Club, and appoint a Hessian Fly Committee. Cut ho wheat high, above the second! joint. Remove the grain irom tlio field and stack it somewhere else. The fly is now in the resting stage and the safest way and only sure plan is for every farmer to plow every acre deeply and thorouglily within two weeks after harvest, turning under the stubble completely and then dragging early. This will lix .Mr. Fly. Team work is necessary. Teach the school children to look for the fly, and report it at every stage. Appoint a captain in every school district, who should bo the best wheat grower in the neighborhood. This early complete plowing will not only reduce the fly, but will be a great benefit to next year’s crop. It does not let the field dry out after harvest, and gets it ready to hold all the moisture which is so badly need ed in most sections. It is stated that other things being equal, three acres plowed in July are worth live acres plowed in September.

Muted by Measurements.

- Modern psychology has not yet attempted to loose tho bands of Orion, bind the sweet influences of the Pieiades or draw out leviathan with a book, but it has accomplished something almost as difficult, through Dr. Max Bass, of Worcester, who has involved a plan for measuring temperaments with a tapeline. Armed with an accurate measure and instructed by Dr. Bass, the young man in search of a mate, according to the doctor’s theory, may go and infallibly select the right girl to preside over his home. That is, if he finds one that comes up to his plans and specifications, he will be able to identify her with mathematical precision. But there is the rub. These dehumanized professors never allow for the merely human equation. There are not many girls of spirit who will stand without hitching while undergoing a test for dimensions, tensile strength and temperament. Besides, the learned j>rofessor is astray in another hypothesis. Young men do not select, the polite tradition to the contrary notwithstanding; they” are selected. Or, if they do select, it is as the fish selects the alluring bait dangled before its delighted eyes. And no properly brought up young woman is going to select her husband by measuring him with a tapeline. If she were as practical as that she would select I him by his commercial rating.— Chicago News.
