Show Lutherans Third In Size The Lutheran churchs estimated Insects Change Habits of Feed -- 3 Many J - ' 1 - (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The unusual ability of many insects to make themselves at home wherever they happen to be carried, whether by flight or through commerce, is in a large measure responsible for the presence of so many plant pests, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Then, too, many insects have a surprising ability to survive, and even to flourish, under changed conditions brought about through cultivation of the soil and other activities of civilization. Thus, many of our crop pests formerly fedon wild plants, but when the land was planted to cultivated crops the insects not only changed their diet but throve enormously on their new food. Feed of Pests. Chinch bugs feed on both wild and cultivated plants. They spend the winter on native grasses and come out in spring and feed on young grain crops. Grubs of June beetles eat roots of native grasses Until grain crops are available. Practically all of the pests of cereal crops fed entirely on wild plants until the large fields of cultivated crops offered a better feedn ing place. The Colorado potato beetle is an example of a native insect that has become domesticated. Formerly it lived on wild nettle, a plant which grows Id the foothills of the Rocky mountains. When the potato was in- Kentucky Wonder Beans - Will Return Big Yield The Kentucky wonder bean has pods which grow from eight to ten Inches long that are very fleshy and tender, and when very small, are delicious cooked whole. The vines bear quite heavily, beginning early in the summer and continuing till frost. It is as good as any bean while young, but is especially desirable to shell for late fall use and also for canning or drying, says a writer In the Farmer. Early frosts do not injure the beans in the pods for cooking purposes. At this time the shells fairly pop open, each yielding a generous amount of deliciously flavored, large, dark beans. This bean requires a pole on which to climb. One woman gardener first planted four hills in the back yard. These hills stood in the form of a square, each hill six feet apart, and Barnyard" Is Approved in Mild Climates. the United States Department of Agriculture.) The open shed or covered barnyard is a practical lethod of housing dairy cows in moderate climates, say dairy officials of the United States Department of Agriculture. method It provides the of preserving all the fertilizing constituents of the manure. When there is plenty of bedding, cows in open sheds keep cleaner than those confined in stanchions, even when manure is allowed to accumulate for several months at a time.

Over and over, Dr. Caldwell wrote the prescription as he found men, women and children suffering from those common symptoms of constipation, such as coated tongue, bad breath, headaches, gas, nausea, biliousness, no energy, lack of appetite, and similar things. Demand for this prescription grew so fast, because of the pleasant, quick way it relieved such symptoms of constipation, that by 1888 Dr. Caldwell was forced to have it put up ready for use.

California Pests. In California there is a strain of codling moth, the well known apple pest, which has developed a liking for walnuts. Since the walnut trees are large ? and spraying them is difficult, this insect promises to become a serious walnut pest The new peach moth from Japan Is a serious enemy of pears in that country, and the well known European corn borer is a pest of hops and millet in Europe. Cultivation of field crops over a long period of years produces ideal conditions for the perpetuation of insects. That is why it is necessary for the department of agriculture and the state experiment stations to continue to wage war on the pests. the runner poles were tied together wigwam style. The vines grew luxuriantly and provided an excellent little playhouse for her two little girls. With the resulting shade provided by this overhang, the ground underneath retained much of its moisture which no doubt helped to account for the abundant yield, for the family of four had all they could use from these four hills of beans.
