Hall of the Minnesota Health association, said: ‘““Women have not suffiicient knowledge of the prevention of epi- demics, and there is a lack of op- portunity for them to acquire this knowledge. Education is necessary in our health work. School authori- ties and boards of health must take up the burden which heretofore has been left entirely with women. The emancipation of women from this work will mean the protection of the state.” A Wonderful Growth. It is indeed surprising to note the growth of farmers’ clubs in Minne- sota during the past few years and the organizations have proven them- selves to be practical in many ways. There are now more than 830 clubs in the state, thirteen cow-testing as-| sociations, fourteen livestock breed- ! ing organizations and fourteen puf! tdto warehouses. More than 270;; elevators are ‘operated by farmers" associations, and = figures show creameries numbering 630, thirtyi cheese factories, and 114 co~oper-; ative stores are operated by the or- | ganizations. There are 130 - live stock shipping organizations. Six hundred farmers’ telephone compa- ' nies are reported. Fire insurance‘ companies number 124. { EEKKKK KX R KKK KX XX & * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * LR R E R R R S e R R E R R The report of the state efficiency commission is attracting wide atten-' tion.

BEST TIME TO SEED GRASSES. Nature ripeus‘ grass seeds in the summer. They fall to earth and lie dormant till rainssof fall cause them to spring into growth. Commonly the fall is the -best time to sow grass seeds. One should not sow the seed until the ground is sufficiently full of mois- ture so that if the seeds germi- nate they will not perish*for lack of support. Time of seeding varies with lo- cation and season. In the fall one can sow grass seeds from August to November, with the best chances of success probably about the middle of September. In the spring one can hardly sow the seed too early. Certainly as soon as one can get a seed bed one must put in the seed, and in spring seeding one cannot and need not delay so long to perfect a seed bed as in the fall.—Joseph E. Wing in “Meadows and Pas- tures.” the executive chair, the people of the United States would be in fear and trembling that our beloved coun- try would be plunged into war.— Faribault Pilot. > LOOK FOR ARMY. WORM MOTHS Departmen{ of Agriculture Requests Public Aid In Fighting Pest. Evefy one interested in the destruc- tion of the army worm pest is being re- quested by the United States:depart- ment of agriculture to look out for army worm moths with one artificially colored wing. The department’s ento- mologists are catching army worm moths where they are plentiful, color ing one wing of each and then liberat- ing them in the same territory, so that they may determine whether these moths fly directly west or north and how quickly and far they will spread. A better knowledge of the habits of this pest should enable the department to control its spread. No moths are to be let loose where their liberagon could possibly add to the natural damage. The moths have shown themselves in Virginia and in Maryland, and the de- partment’s agents are catching speci- mens at Portsmouth and/ Charlottes- ville, in Virginia, and Hagerstown, in Maryland. The agents at Portsmouth are applying a red stain to one wing of each specimen caught, those at Char- lottesville a black or yellow .stain and those at Hagerstown a violet color. Then the moths are left to follow the natural course they would have pur- sued. 5 “Look for the army worm moth with a- colored wing,” the department’s bureau -of entomology is advising its agents east of the Mississippi. Any one observing a marked specimen will aid in the campaign by reporting the fact to the bureau of entomology. THE ARMY WORM MOTH, Washington. When its presence has been noted the ,moth should be de- stroyed. / The wings of the army worm moth when outsprend measure about one and-a half inches frowm tip to tip. The body is about balf this length. The general. shape of the moth with its wings outspread is triangular. The moths will hover about the lights in the evening. On farms they will be found on the outside of screens and doors at night. They will probably not On dark. hot. close nights. such as precede thunderstorms. they will probably be especially noticeable. The army .worm pest has caused con- siderable damage to the crops and lawns during the summer throughout the northern United States east of the Mississippi. The worms are only now disappearing in northern Maine and Michigan which were probably hatch ed from the egzgs of moths migrating from more southern parts of the coun try. With -the additional knowledge that -this experiment will ‘give. the department hopes to control the spread of the pest more completely in coming years. & B e T o) !

Failure to fall plow has been the cause of many unsuccessful attempts to grow alfalfa on the loam and light soils in Wisconsin. This is the opinion of W. W.
