Feed the Fighters ! Win the War ! !
Harvest the Crops Save the Yields
On the battle fields of France and Flanders, the United States boys and tho
Canadian boys are fighting side by side to win for the World the freedom that Prus
sianism would destroy. While doing this they must be fed and every ounce of
muscle that can be requisitioned must go into use to save this year's crop. A short
harvest period requires the combined forces of the two countries in team work, such
as the soldier boys in France and Flanders are demonstrating.
Tho Combined Fighters In Franco and Flanders and tho Combined
Harvesters in America WILL Bring the Allied Victory Nearer.
A reciprocal arrangement for tha use of farm workers has been perfected between the Depart
ment f the Interior of Canada and the Departments of Labor and Agriculture of the United States,
under which it is proposed to permit the harvesters that are now encaged in the wheat fields of Okla
homa, Kansas, Iowa. North Dakota, South Dakota. Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin to move
over into Canada, with the privilege of later returning to the United States, when the crops In the
United States have been conserved, and help to save the enormous crops In Canada which by that
time will be ready for harvesting.

EFFECTIVE MOTH TRAP
New Device to Be Used in Place
of "Banding" Method. '
Attractive Place Afforded for Larvae
to Spin Cocoons, and Prevents Es
cape of Insects Wire Screen
Is Used.
A codling moth trap has been de
vised by E. II. Slegler of the bureau of
entomology, United States department
of agriculture, to bo used as a substi
tute for what Is known as the "band
ing" method for destroying the codling
moth. The banding method, In which
a folded strip of burlap Is wrapped
around the tree trunk, demands a con
siderable amount of labor, and the new
trap is designed to minimize this.
The trap affords an attractive place
for tho larvae, to spin their cocoons,
and It prevents tho escape of the moths
after they emerge from those. The
Codling Moth Trap.
trap, which consists of n burlap band
covered by a strip of wire screen, is
mnde as follows :
Strips of burlap six Inches wide are
folded Into three thicknesses. The
loose bark from the lower branches
and trunk of the tree Is removed and a
strip of this burlap folded once around
the trunk. It Is held In place by large
tacks, which should be driven In In
such a way that tho edge projects
nbout one-fourth of an Inch beyond the
burlnp. The burlap Is then covered by
black-pnlnted wire screen with 12
meshes to the Inch. This Is cut Into
Strips six Inches wide and the edges
of each strip are folded twice, allowing
one-fourth of an inch to each fold.
The strip of screen should be long
enough to nllow for an overlap of three
to four Inches when plnced around the
trunk of the tree. The wire screen Is
pluced over tho burlap bnnd and tacked
to the tree In such a way thnt both tho
upper and lower edges fit snugly
ngnlnst tho bnrk. The projecting tacks
used to fasten the burlnp to the tree
prevent the wire pressing against the
cloth. To make sure that no moths
may'escape through openings along the
edges of tho trap or along the flap, a
thin coating of pitch tar may be used.
This material, when heated, may be ap
plied readily with a brush.
It must be clearly understood that
this trap Is not a substitute for spray
ing, but merely an nddltlonnl precau
tion. Nevertheless, some larvae will
Invariably escape, and the offspring of
these are largely responsible for the
damage to the fruit crop. By the use
of tho codling moth trap, In addition
to -thorough spraying, the majority of
the unpolsoned lnrvue may be captured
and Injury by Inter broods will be ma
terially reduced.
SKIM MILK IN FEED RATION
Not Valuable as Fat Producer When
Fed Alone on Account of Lack of
Starch and Sugar.
(By JOHN C. BURN8.)
Skim milk, on the bnsls of Its com
position, Is of the class known ns pro
tein feeds. Being too deficient In
starches and sugnrs (carbohyrates) as
well as fat, It Is not very valuable
as a fat producer when fed alone,
When combined with corn or somo
similar feed In tho proper proportions
the protein of tho skim milk supplies
the deficiency of the protein In the
corn, while tho enrbohydrntes of the
corn supply that deficiency In the skim
milk, the two feed stuffs thus forming
it bnlnpced rntlon. This means a ra
tion which contains the nutrients In
proportions to meet tho needs of tho
animal body for Its best development.
HOLDING MOISTURE IN SOIL
One of Chief Points In WelLPulverlzed
Soil, Without Which Soil to
Only Ordinary.
One of the chief polntsof value in n
well-pulverized soil Is "its moisture
holding capacity. It Is to hold water
that we Introduce organic mntter ns
well as to food the plnnls, for humus
holds soil moisture best, but pulveri
zation nlono Is highly effective.

AIR-TIGHT SILO FOUND BEST
Silage Will Keep Indefinitely If Air
Can Be Excluded Cover With
Chopped Hay or Straw.
Practically all the trouble from spoil
ing of sllnge comes from the action of
nlr on tho material after the first nec
essary fermentation Is over. The first
fertnentntlon or "heating" of tho green
material uses up all the oxygen of the
nlr which Is present In It when It is
pneked Into the silo. If no more nlr
can get In, no further fertnentntlon or
decay can possibly take place. If tho
silo Is air-tight, therefore, silage will
keep Indefinitely. Of course, most silos
are 'open at the top and some spoilage
will take place from the top of the
mnss downwards. But this can be pre
vented, In large part, by covering the
sllnge, after It has finished settling,
with a layer of chopped hay or straw
well wetted'' down.
GOOD MIXTURE FOR THE CALF
Something Must De Given to Replace
Butterfat When Skim Milk Is Sub- '
stltuted for Whole Milk.
When skim milk Is substituted foi
whole milk In feeding the calf, some
thing needs to be added to repluce the
butterfat removed In the eVeain. Corn
can be used to good advantage. It li
better cracked than ground line. Brae
Is good and ground oats are splendid
A mixture Is better than Just one ol
them. Tho calf will begin to eat feci!
when two to three weeks old, and
should have access to It. The best wuj
to feed grain Is dry and care should
be tuken not to allow any of It to re
main In the corners of tho feeding box
ns It will sour and may cause diges
tive troubles. Boiled ground flax seed
Is also used with skim milk to make
up for the fat removed.

POOR CULTIVATION OF C0R
Reason Given for Low Yields In Corn
Belt States Hired Men Have
Forgotten Hoe.
In tho corn-belt states, where oni
might expect the largest yields, thej
are In many cases very low. Tho ren
son for this is largely poor cultivation
too many men try to got over nbou'
twlco as much as they can handle prof
Itubly. The average hired man In tin
corn belt hns forgotten how to run f
hoe handle, and but little effort li
made to get the weeds out of tho hill!
In many cases. Better cultivation Is i
vital need In corn raising.
CARE FOR STRAWBERRY BEDS
Good Plan to Renew as Soon as Frull
Is Picked Hoe Out All the
Weak Plants.
As soon as the strawberries ar
picked, If the bed Is clean and the
plants thrifty, It Is u good plan to re
new the bed. Mow the tops and rnk
them off, then hoe out all old weal
plants and thin to a row of Btrong
vigorous, new plants, not nearer tluir
ten Inches apart. Cultivate the res)
of the season.
