WAR ON INSECT PERIL NEXT
Extermination of Winged and Creep
ing Enemies of Mankind Held to
Be of Vital Importance.
A writer in nn English journal has
suggested Mint the next groat war will
he between man nnd the Insect world.
This wnr would he waged not only on
Insects that actually attack man him
self, hut also on all those winged or
creeping things that are his enemies
In less direct ways those species that,
to uso the writer's phrase, "exist nt
tho expense of human progress and
hnpplness."
We all shudder with horrorot the
thought of a scorpion or of a centi
pede, although few of us ever see one
of them, but we do not shudder enough
at the thought of the millions of un
told disgusting things that we are put
ting up with all the time. Perhaps it is
unfortunate for us thnt ninny of these
harmful, and even death-dealing, in
sects nro very small. If they were as
Inrge as they are hnd we should soon
rid ourselves of them. When wo see
die housefly or the mosquito hugely
mngnlfled we realize nt once that, com
pared with them structurally, the.tlger
Is n charming nnd bcnutlful thing; but
wo go away and forget the magnified
picture and submit to the original of It.
The death toll thnt vermin linvo
cnuscd In tho present wnr so enforced
Its lesson thnt the world has roused
Itself to clenn things up. The knowl
edge that certain Insects were disgust
ing nnd unclcun did not seem to be
sulTlclent renson for notion, but the
knowledge that these same insects are
quite ns dangerous ns so many bullets
Is a strong argument. Youth's Com
panion. It is a bad well Into which you must
pour water and he Is a tiresome friend
who is always looking to you for support.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO ASSIST
IN INCREASING
Engage in Campaign for Bigger CropsFederal Department of
Agriculture Trying to Interest the Nonfarming Popu
lation in the Food Problem More Hands
Needed to Help Till the Soil.
New York. The fanners cannot
work any harder only women nnd
children and men whose regular work
Is not agriculture can increase the
crops of the nation.
Tills is a truth which Impresses it
self on anyone who investigates the
experiences of the warring nations and
tho problems of our own.
In Germany nnd the other central
powers the problem is not one of more
land, but more labor. With the farm
hands limited mostly to women, chil
dren, wounded or otherwlso inca
pacitated men, old men and prison
ers, it is found impossible to produce
a usual crop, even with ordinarily fa
vorable weather.
In this country similar problems nro
met. It Is useless to explain the crisis
to the farmer and his "hired men."
They are fc'olng to get up at four o'clock
In the morning and work as long
ns it is light In tho hot months.
Hut they were going to do that wheth
er or not the United States went to
war. They can do no more.
It Is only by bringing In hands which
In otlter years would not be devoted to
the cultivation of tho soil that the
earth's bounty can be Increased.
Therefore, the experts of the de
pnrtinent of agriculture, and of state
farm bureaus, and various official and
soml-olllcial organizations throughout
the country, are trying to Interest the
non-farming population In trio food
problem.
Nowhere are they meeting with
greater success than on Long Island.
This stretch of nearly level soil, very
rich when fertilized, bids fair to be
ono continuous garden this year and
make a new name for Itself as a
truck produce center.
It is the promised land of the com
muter. It Is n country of small hold
ings, besides many lnrge estates.
Women nnd children nro assisting In
many ways to Increase the yield.
Suffragist Shows Her Worth.
One of the most Interesting points
on the island, from a food-Increase
standpoint, Is Mrs. Ruth Lttt's mng
nlficent 125-ncro estate, Jackwill farm,
named after her two boys. It lies
on Great South bay, near East Pat
chogue. '
Here the suffragist is finding a new
wny of proving herself tit for the
ballot.
Tho votes-for-'women enthusiasts
are tilling the ground nnd planting
vegetables in a most efficient way.
They are doing all the work them
selves, real men's work.
Mrs. Lltt lias turned over a huge
field to the suffragists, besides tools,
horses, seeds and other things needed.
The women will put It entirely under
cultivation, and they are making It a
point of honor not to let a male hand
assist them.
Associated with Mrs. Lltt In the ag
ricultural venture are Mrs. George
Ilaxter, Jr., the suffrage leader of Long
Island; Miss Grace Iloinan, vice lead
er; Mrs. W. Granville Smith and Mrs.
Charles Gould.
A three-day-old Jersey calf lias be
come the mascot of the woman farm
ers. "The women of Englnnd," said
Mrs. Lltt, carefully steering the plow
in u straight furrow as she talked,
"were not prepared to do any work of
this sort. It enme to them In the na
ture of a great hardship, albeit they
were willing to do their 'hit. The
American woman lias taken a leaf out
of the experience of her British sister
nnd Is learning to do efficiently some
thing that she may sooner or Inter be
called upon to do by the government.
"Tho work is good for women. It
will turn a lot of women from house
plnnts Into 'huskies' and will be of
two-fold benefit, mnking efficient work
ers and garnering health and physical
strength for the women of rSti nation."
Mrs. Lltt turned the plow over to
one of the other workers and proceed
ed to the hothouse, where she dis

Women Do the Work.
"It's no kid-glove job," Is what .Al
lien Johnson told ICO women recently
at the Astor hotel when he talked to
them about what they must expect
when they begin a course In practical
agriculture.
They hnd responded to a call from
Miss Alice Carpenter, chnlrmnn of tho
executive committee of tho No. 0 Na
tional Service school of the women's
section of the Navy league, which
hopes to train a score of women every
three weeks at the State Agricultural
school, at Karnilngdnle, L. I., and at
tho same time train 1100 women in mili
tary duties.
The expectant agriculturists listened
to sonic solid facts about the work.
Mr. Johnson, who Is head of the state
school, announced at the start that
they hadn't a "farm hand" on the
place, and thnt tho women must do
the work themselves.
"We take women of every age," he
said. "Recently we hud three grand
mothers nnd one great-grandmother
in our classes."
Anyone past the age of eighteen is
eligible to enroll for the agricultural
course under the guidance of Miss
Carpenter and Mr. Johnson. There
were several gray-haired women pres
ent whose faces brightened when they
heard the reference to the agricultural
activities of grandmothers.
Every student is to have a garden
plot 15 by 120 feet, Mr. Johnson ex
plained. These will be on the grounds
of the state school. Every bit of the
work on thnt plot Is to be done by the
students, under the supervision of in
structors. "Special emphasis will be placed on
tho methods which enn best be em
ployed In vegetable growing in city
yards, vacant lots nnd school gardens,"
he continued. "All common vegetables
will be grown. Particular attention
will be paid to those of high-food
value, Including potatoes.
"The work will include seed testing,
starting of seeds in fiats, uso of cold
frames, setting out plants, culture,
harvesting, packing or otherwlso pre
paring tho vegetables for marketing,
storing and preserving vegetables, tho
last to Include canning.
Many Practical Courses.
"There will be n course also in
economic entomology, where the stu
dents will take up the habits of In
sects of orchards, gardens nnd fnrm
crops. A course In the different types
of soils, poultry raising, which will in
clude incubation, rearing of chicks,
their feed, enre and management, kill
ing, dressing and marketing, and
poultry house construction, also is
offered to the women' bent on growing
and conserving the nation's food sup
ply." Milking cows, driving horses, feed
ing, the care and management of
dairy cattle, hogs and horses are also
to be taught at the agricultural
school. The courses will open on April
215, nnd will close on July 'S.i. Living
accommodations will be provided on
the grounds. Mrs. Carpenter said they
had rented an old-fashioned homestead
for the women students.
