gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonlc acts quickly; It will
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because it

Western States.

(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

logue of his crimes in tills bunch of

"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.

Here's a ruined egg it's black, you

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

nated with theso corpses th ani

"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

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.

It Is simply wonderful what a com

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. An
ample Is the tomato.

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.
