STRIP LEAVES FROM PLANTS Chickens, Turkeys and Many Birds De. troy Worms During Feeding Stage Bollworm Devours Both Worms and Pupa. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) "What n beautiful crcnturol" ex claimed a farm visitor, indicating n gorgeous yellow butterfly which had Alighted upon a nearby shrub and now raised and lowered his black.edged wings in slow, graceful palpitations. The insect nppeared to be the very spirit of the hot summer day ; his col ors wcro tho colors and sbades of bril liant sunshine nnd tho deepest, black est shadow, sot In a delightful con trast; and Its will was the will of the breeze that stirred the broad alfalfa meadows beyond tho gnrdon, where host nnd guest had retired to enjoy tho shade. Appreciation Dampened'. "Beautiful yes," responded the rancher, "but my appreciation is some what dampened by tho knowledge that the pretty creature costs tho alfalfa growers of Arlzpna and California nbout $1,000,000 a year. What this butterfly costs in other states Kqn sas, Oklahoma, Texas and others Tm unable to say, but it must be un Immense sum. Rather a high price to pay fr beauty, Isn't it? Wo could endow a good many art galleries with thai sum; wo could beautify our schools and hang Itembrandts in every classroom, If there were enough of them to go around. Wo could bring thousands of the city, children out Into the fresh air nnd sunshine, if wo had the price of that yellow fellow and his mate." "How does ho accomplish all this?" asked the Interested listener; "It's a harsh indictment to lay against a crea ture so apparently lacking In malice. JPell mo about him; where does he come from; how does he live, and what are his peculiarities?" The rancher rose, stepped through tho hedge, nnd enmo back with a hand ful of alfalfa, freshly pulled from the nearby field. . "You can find out all you wish to know from Farmers' Bulletin 1094, Just published by tho United States department of agriculture, but I think wo have his life history and a cata logue of his crimes in tills bunch of herbage. "Here's the egg," he continued, in dicating a tiny, brownish, elongated object upon tho upper side of nn al falfa leaf, "That's the first stnge, and is interesting only because the female butterfly lays from 200 to 500 of them in her lifetime. It has been estimated that If all the eggs of a single fema'lo butterfly hatched and there were no losses In the progeny, or in their eggs or young this first butterfly would be grandmother to 8,000,000,000 Insects before the end of the summer. "Fortunately for us an insect para site destroys a good many of the eggs. Alfalfa Caterpillar Female in Adult or Butterfly Stage. Here's a ruined egg it's black, you see, instead of brown; tho parasite has been there. Million-Dollar Damage. "Next Is tho lnrvn,,or worm stage; and It Is this form that tho alfalfa caterpillar docs tho million-dollar damage, A number of these worms will strip most of tho leaves from a crop In a very short time. Hero Is a small worm evidently Just hatched, and here on this-bud Is a larger one, Note tho green color of Its body nnd tho white stripe down each side, ne Is nearly nn Inch long and has made his growth by gorging upon the tender leaves and terminal buds of my al falfa. Wherever there Is nn unusual ly large number of these worms, they will eat the stems, too, but their fa vorite food Is tho tender portion of the plant. "While In this fctoge, tho larva Is vic tim of mviy conditions and is preyed upon by many creatures. A fly lays Its eggs upon tho worm. These hntch Into grubs which penetrate and kill their host. Chickens, turkeys and mnny birds destroy tho worm during the feeding stnge. "Molsturo nnd a hot, heavy atmos phere will induce the spread of n dis ease among the worms. See. hero nro worms Just afflicted with the dlsenw; note tho lighter color of their skins nnd their sluggish movements. In a few hours they'll dlo and decompose Into a black decaying mass. You can understand why alfulfa hay loses Ha feeding vain If It Is heavily Impreg aaseESsaaaBA RHrJuBiaV' nated with theso corpses th ani mals don't llko the flavor. "But tho conditions that foster this disease nro valuable In controlling the pest. Upon irrigated farms, water may bo turned Into tho field to provide moisture which, with tho heaf, will start tho plague and kill tho worms. "From this stage the worm enters the pupa period. Ho spins no cocoon, as many caterpillars do, but hangs himself, head up, among tho stems and swings" in a little loop of silk, llko a steeple-Jack sco this, chap 1 "You'vo heard of tho bollworm so Injurious to corn and cotton? He comes to our aid In tho fight against tho alfalfa caterpillar, and, by ono of thoso queer natural compensations, does us a favor by devouring both worms and pupa. Odd, isn't It? Lay Eggs All Summer. "Unless tho worm Is destroyed, tho butterfly you have admired emerges from the pupa in a fow dnys and be gins to Iny eggs to establish a new cycle. This goes on nil sum:rtr. "Control Is accomplished by cutting alfalfa closo and clqnn. Wo clear out our fenco corners and ditches, and co operate with our neighbors In clearing their land. This leaves no shelter for tho caterpillar to live In from one al falfa crop to tho next, and tho few which do survlvo find food mighty senrce, and many perish of starvation. "Disking with n harrow over tho meadows after a crop has been moved destroys mnny of tho Insects in tho egg, worm or pupa stage. Besides killing r A Parasite of the -Alfalfa Caterpillar. the Insects which aro preparing to ravage the next crop, tho disking process, as every ono knows, is n mighty good thing for the alfalfa. "Wo also use a brush drag well weighted n.id mn it over .the nlfnlfa meadows after tho disking Is done. Tho drag gets Into tho hollows and crevices where tho harrow has not touched and crushes the Insect In whatever stage it flndi him. Kven If tho first cut has been mined by the pest, these methods of irrigation nnd cultivation will Insure the reduction of the caterpillar in time to save the next cutting from his at tacks. "These methods aro recommended by tho department of agriculture, and wo hope to prevent most of the1 anneal loss caused, by the activities of yonder but terfly." BEST PRACTICE WITH CLOVER Crop Should Be Cut When Seed Is In Dough Chaff Makes Good Bed ding for Stock. The clover'should be cut when tno seed Is 1n tho dough, and when well cured rhked up early In the morning and put under cover. It! Is the prac tice with some growers to let the clover after It is cut remain in the swnth for several weeks; there Is n loss of seed If the weather should be wet The bettor method Is after the clover Is well cured to haul to barn or barrack and have the 6eed hulled out when .the wenther Is cold and dry. The clover chaff makes excellent bed ding for stock. It is a good practice to top-dress the grain with the chaff. INFESTATION OF HESSIAN FLY As Result of Many Wheat Growers Planting Too Early Last pall Outbreak Is Likely. A shortage of farm labor and un favorable weather conditions at plant ing time combined to Influence many wheat growers In plnntlng their grain too early last fall. This has resulted in a heavy infestation of Hessian fly In about all of tho early planted wheat of Inst fall. Unless winter wheat growers can bo Induced to unite In a concerted movement to observe the approved methods of combating tho nesslnn fly during tho summer and' fall of 1020, It seems that n disastrous general out break of tho pest very probnhly will occur In 1D21. SPLENDID GARDEN RESULTS Attractive Place Where AllQpaee Is Devoted to Cultivated Crops Dur ing Entire Season. It Is simply wonderful what a com mon form garden of rich soil will trow In one season If nil of the soil if kept busy all the time. Where all tho space Is run to cultivated crops through tho growing season tho gnrden Is an at tractive place, and no part of It be comes hard and hnked In dry wenth er, as where patches are neglected af ter tho first short crops have beon harvested. VEGETABLES NEED NITROGEN Large Amounts Required by Cabbage, Collards, Lettuce, Etc, Grown for Foliage. Vegetables that are grown for their foliage, as cabbogo, collards, lettuce, spinach, etc., need large amounts of nitrogen. Vegetables that produce large quantities of seed, but little foli age, need mostly phosphorus.

Tho Na tion's Business. NO EXCUSE FOR UGLINESS Man Who Today Builds an Unattrac tive or Commonplace House Is Behind the Times. Thcro Is no excuse in these days for building an ugly or commonplace house. A generntl6n ago not many capable architects were available, es pecially In the western country. Even when they were, the prevailing taste ran to frills of turrets and jig-saw work. Tho beauty of simplicity was not known, nnd the architect who stood out for it often found his cllenl obdurate. All that has changed. A comparison of .the bulk of tho Houses built In the eighties and nineties with thoso of more recent years will reveal how far the country has come. The number of competent architects has Increased, and ot even greater importance, the stock of sound architectural ideas hns become widely diffused. ' Books and magazine nrtlclcs on the subject have multiplied amazingly. Tho prospective builder ought, of course, to avail himself of the services of a good architect. But oven If he falls to do this he can find in the pub lic library excellent designs to meet his needs. Ctty Planning Public's Business. Beat city planning Is' neither a pri vate enterprise nor a move for "tho city beautiful." It is primarily a busi ness enterprise and its benefits ac crue to the public at large. A planning commission, with tho aid both of plan ning experts and tho city government, 'cannot hope to succeed In Its work without the aid of tho public. The fact that planning must be mado popular was emphasized ut nn I important session of the renltpfs con- ventlon. Whatever method Is adopted, a planning commission, after first care fully preparing its plans must "sell" Its -"ideas and alms to tho pqople. Through constant publicity the pub lic must bo educated to see tie -needs nnd the benefits of a "businesslike or dering of the city's development, nnd must be made to share tho labor In volved nnd to contribute to the cost. Exchange. Stagger Imagination. Suggestions of distances more nnd moro Inconceivable aro a feature of recent astronomical investigation. In studying the pnrnllux of n sixth mag nitude star, Dr. Robert Trumplcr ban found n tenth magnitude stnr moro than eight minutes of arc from It that lins tho same largo proper motion and the( same parallax, and ho concludes that the two stors must undoubtedly be connected. They aro separated hy not less than 13,200 times the distance of tho earth from tho sun. Revolving In n circular orbit around a common couter, they muht require hundreds of thousands of jeui.s to completo n sin glo revolution, nnd yot they are o re mote from the multitude of other star systems that there is no Inlerftreuio with their companionship.
