AMPLE WOOD FUEL
RESERVE ADVISED
Abundance of Coal Supply Next
Winter Seems Unjikely.
COMMUNITIES CAN GIVE AID
Laying In Plentiful Supply of Well-
Seasoned Firewood Will Help In
Relieving Overburdened Trans
portation. (Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Aerlculturo.)
An nmplo wood fuel reserve for next
winter should be the nlm of every city,
town, nnd country resident. No ono
knows how much coal thero wllj bo for
general fuel purposes. An nbundnnce
of conl seems unlikely. Coal Is particu
larly needed for war Industries, ship
ping, nnd our nllles. Communities can
render themselves far less dependent
on coal and nlso help In relieving an1
overburdened transportation by laying
!n n plentiful supply of well-seasoned
firewood.
Start Municipal Woodyards.
Municipal woodyards have been
started in mnny towns nnd cities and
nro working very successfully. North
Carolina has between forty and fifty
of them. Such a woodyard operated
by tho municipal officers or private
companies should bo in operation all
spring and summer In every town,
where wood can be obtained, building
tip it fuel reserve for next winter. War
fuel companies have been organized
in the towns in New Hampshire, Ten
nessee, and somo other states. Thoso
responsible for the government of
towns nnd communities should tako
steps once to guard against difficulties
when the next cold weather comes.
Wood Abundantly Available.
It Is u matter of common knowledge
that in mnny localities where wood Is
nbundantly available, almost nt tho
very doors of the farmers, that coal
has been hauled frohi fiveto ten miles
Municipal Woodyard In Operation.
to supply them. This meant In mnny
cases the deprivation of cities of coal
which could not secure wood and has
caused much hardship and suffering.
Co-operative action on the part of com
inanities and towns during tho past
winter has been eminently successful
in mnny places in the eastern United
States, bringing much wood into uso
nnd at prices ranging mostly from $!
to $S per cord for stove wood deliver
ed, thereby eliminating "profiteering"
of amounts ranging up to as high as
$9 to $12 per cord.
Much can be done this spring in the
Middlo nnd North Atlantic nnd Lake
states. In the Southern states where
crop work Is pretty well along, only nn
occasional day can bo devoted to this
work. A big drive for winter wood
fuel is being planned for tho South
beginning In August when crops nro
"laid by." Every rainy or Idle day
and every other tiny that can possibly
bo spared should bo used In chopping
' . . , . . .
wood in order to nave on mum a sup
ply of seasoned wood. The forest
service and the states relation service
of the department of agriculture and
tho vnrlous state colleges of agricul
ture are co-operating with the federal
fuel administration In this nntlon-wldo
fuel campaign.
MANURE IS OF. GREAT VALUE
Farmer Who Is Not Paying Attention
to Fertilizer Is Overlooking Im
portant Point.
Tho value of bnmynrd manure has
always been recognized, but the pro
tection necessary to preserve tho fer
tility of the manure has not been, recog
nized. Tho vnluo of manure on dif
ferent soils Is Illustrated by experi
ments In different parts of the state
by tho Missouri college of agriculture.
As an average of all experiments on
outlying fields barnyard manniv bus
brought a return of $1.00 a ton, al
though on somo of tho fields the re
turn hns exceeded $3.00 n ton. On one
experiment field tho return hns been at
the rate of $4.10 n ton. Theso experi
ments show that tho farmei who is
not caring for his mnnuro Is overlook

enue.
PREPARE TO BATTLE
CORN STALK BEETLE
Many Growers in Southern States:
Reported Injury to Crop.
Damage Was Quite Severe Wherever
Soli Was Such as to Sustain Grub
Control Measures Recom
mended by Entomologists.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment or Agriculture.)
Last year n corn pest, described by
entomologists of tho United States de
partment qt agriculture as tho rough
headed corn stalk beetle, appeared In
mnny parts of the South. Many corn
growers of Texas, Georgia, Louisiana,.
Arkansns and Alabama reported In
Jury to their corn by this beetle, the
damage being qulto general and se
vere wherever tho soli was such aw
to sustain the grub.
The beetle .varies somewhat In size,
according to tho entomologists, but
usually measures about ono-hnlf inch
In length. It Is n stout, hard-shelled"
creature, Jet black In color. It Is
thought to bo distributed only In tho
Southern states. The damage Is done-
wholly by tho adult nnd consists in
boring Info tho outer wall of the stalks
Immediately below tho surface of the
ground, making n large ragged open
ing, and destroying tho tender growing
point,, or "heart' upon which tho bee
tle feeds. The dnmago Is done only
during spring and early summer.
Field observations show that outbreaks.
for reasons ns yet Imperfectly under
stood, do not necessarily recur In suc
cessive years.
A summary of control measures
recommended by the entomologists
and described In detail In tho bulletin
may be outlined as follows:
1. Eliminate all old pastures or
waste InntL especlnlly low, moist areas.
and drain such lands thoroughly.
2. Pasture hogs In waste or pasture-
lands thnt cannot be convenlently
drnlned nnd cropped.
3. Plant corn early, say, about April
20, for tidewater Virginia, and earlier
for more southerly localities.
4. Give liberal applications of barn
yard manure or commercial fertilizers
-whenever practicable.
5. Employ children or cheap labor
to collect nnd destroy the beetles when
n field first shows Injury.
C. Do not allow corn to follow sod If
possible to nvold It.
7. Plow sod land In late summer and
early fall In order to destroy the pupae
of the rough-headed cornstalk beetle.
TREAT CHICKENS FOR WORMS
Massachusetts Poultry Raiser Recom

(Prepared by the United States Depart

A remedy for worms in chickens
thnt n Massachusetts poultry ralsor

with water In which Epsom salt ha
