Always Keep a Sharp Lookout for Many Insect Pests. tral Coamwal Comfort Farmers Should Provide Themselves With Poisons and Then Keep Vigil for First Outbreak of Enemies of Farm Crops. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Much of the destruction to crops by Insect pests Is due to the failure of farmers and fruit growers to detect an ontbreak at its beginning, and to delay In getting the necessary combative ma terial. Farmers who provide them selves with Insect poisons and then keep a vigil for the first outbreaks of crop enemies will bring through the largest yields. That a great part of the annual loss to grain crops due to Insect Injuries can be avoided by vigilance and vig orous action on the part of growers is not sufficiently realized. Frequently Insect outbreaks originate within a limited aren, and when this is the case It Is often quite possible to stamp them out before any great damage has been done. If the outbreak Is general, then community action Is essential to prevent the infestation from becoming widespread. Watch your crops constantly. Make a dally survey of the fields during the most active growing season, If pos slble. If an outbreak of any insect foe is discovered, apply promptly the reme dies which are recommended In publi cations of state experiment stations and of the United States department of agriculture. If In donbt as to the identity of a pest, send specimens promptly In a tight tin box to your county agricul tural agent, state experiment station or nearest federal entomological field station, accompanied by a request for Information regarding It. Keep on hand at least a small sup ply of the standard Insecticide prepa rations, such as parls green, lime, and arsenate of lead. Report serious outbreaks of Insects to the state or national authorities mentioned above.

Weather Reports Should Be Utilized In Studying Conditions Shipper Should Co-Operata Closely With Carrier. (From the Unltod States Department of Agriculture.) Shippers at this time should exer cise unusual care In packing and load ing their perishable products. They Bhould grade their products carefully with reference to the degree of their maturity and select a nearby market for the ripened products and n distant market for the products thnt will hold u the necessary time In transit to reach the distant market. Weather re ports should be utilized in a study of tho weather conditions that are pre vailing In the different large markets, to the end that foodstuffs that normal ly are consumed In large quantities In warm weather may not be sent to mar kets where cool or cold weather Is prevailing. There should be a fuller recognition of the Joint responsibility of the ship per with the carrier for the safe car riage of food products to destination, the specialists of the United States de partment of agriculture point out. Shippers should co-operate closely with carrier by giving ample Instructions with reference to refrigeration and ventilation, to the end that food prod ucts may be properly conserved In transit and reach channels of consump tion. Railroad agents could render usoful service If they were instructed In some of the most fundamental things connected with the proper care of perishable shipments during the pe riod of loading carload shipments at country stations. Shippers, too frequently, through carelessness and a lack of knowledge of the proper methods of protecting perishable shipments, leave wagon loads, of them exposed to tho hot sun for hours at u time Instead of loading them promptly into a refrigerator car and keeping I he doors of the car closed between loads. Tho carrier's representative or local agent usually takes notice of such condition only for the purpose of recording the circum stances for consideration In connection with damage claims that may be filed. The fact frequently Is overlooked that the carrier may render definite assist ance In the conservation of foodstuffs by co-operating with the shippers and giving them all the Information which It has as to the proper methods that should ho used. Shippers should Invariably notify consignees as soon as shipments are forwarded from point of origin. Where (he distance to market Is short, the no tification should be given by wire, so that the consignees may be In a posi tion to take more prompt delivery of shipment on arrival ami thus elim inate tho deterioration that so fre quently lakes place by the holding of siupmmits long periods of time after arrival at the market.

Tho plants should be about 14 to 18 Inches high when the pigs are turned In. For less Intensive feeding, when fewer animals are kept on the same lot for a longer time, rape is sown broadcast with oats and clover. Five pounds of rape, six pounds of clover, and one bushel of oats are sown per acre. Swine should not be turned In until the crop Is eight or ten Inches high. An acre with a good stand of crop should supply 16 spring pigs with forage for the rest of the season.

"DON'T WORRY", IS THEME CHICKENS AID FOOD SUPPLY Hen Is Only Producing Creature That Can Be Profitably Kept on Small Space In Village. (By A. C. SMITH, Minnesota Experiment Station.) The hunger period which threatens the United States and Its allies In the present war may be warded off, In part, at least, by attention to the low ly chlcKen. The hen Is the only producing crea ture that can be profitably kept on small ureas such as city and village lots, that will transfer table waste Into highly edible product. She selects from waste material, bugs, weeds and grasses n large part of her living for several months In the year, and dur ing this time Is usually a high pro ducer of very fertile eggs. She re produces her kind much more often than any other productive animal. She can be cared for by women and children and often by Invalids and con valescents. Other poultry, Including ducks, geese und squabs, should also receive careful attention, In view of the present and future food situation. HIGH CHECKING NOT FAVORED MO SEED FOR DISTRIBUTION Department of Agriculture Will Assist In Locating Stocks Where There Is Shortage. No seed for free distribution nor for sale IS at the disposal of the United States department of agriculture. The lepartrnant, however, through Its committee of seed stocks, is receiving dally telegraphic ami oilier reports as 0 available supplies of seeds of crons for late planting, and will assist in lo cating seed stocks for localities whoro shortages exist. The committee is co opcrallng with state, local and com mercial agencies lu an effort to secure hotter distribution of seed aud to en courage plantings of all Important crops.

In recent years there has been a falling off In the habit of using the check-rein on horses, at least to ex tremes. People with good taste have come to realize that a horso Is more beautiful In Its natural state and that high checking will ruin any animal. There are some principles governing the use of the check-rein which every body who Is humaue agrees to. Draft horses phould have the free use of their heads, unhindered. Driv ing horses should only be checked when necessary for their proper con trol. Check-reins cause more stiff shoulders and weak knees than all other causes combined. Colts should not be made to endure the bitting bridle over fifteen minutes at a time. To keep It on half a day, aa some do, Is to Inflict one of the worst punishments possible. Some colts are permanently Injured by It. FOR SUCCESS WITH ALFALFA Any Type of Soil, Well Drained, Free of Weeds and of Reasonable Fertility Will Do. Alfalfa may be successfully raised on almost any type of soil providing that it Is well-drained, free of weeds and In reasonable state of fertility. Good drainage must be provided. Tho ground must be made free of weed seeds. Soils lacking In fertility should be well-manured, as alfalfa requires large amounts of plant food. If sufficient manure Is not to be had, It should be supplemented with a commercial fer tilizer rich In phosphoric acid and potash. If the soil Is sour, It must be limed before alfalfa can do well. Inoculation of the soil will general ly be necessary. HUMUS ONE OF ESSENTIALS It Prevents Cohesion of 80II Grains Into Solid Clods Farmers Are Urged to Rotate. Humus Is one of the essentials in soils. It prevents cohesion of the soil grains. Into solid clods. It prevents land from becoming sticky. Every farmer Is urged to rotate his crops, plowing under a good sod. of clover or some legume as often as 1 the rotation calls for, the purpose being to Increase humus. Stable manure, In which la mixed the straw and corn stalks, an swers the same purpose. Byall means put back Into the soil aa (much humus as tho fields have grown' or you will come face to face with lessened fer tility and difficult famine, i Major General SIbert Writes Message Giving Cheer to Men Who Are to Follow Him Across the Atlantlo Ooean. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington. Official rlionntM,,,., have let the public know that MaJ Gen. William L. Sibert has landed In France and Is In command of the American camp. Proof that the war department was right In Its official statement has come to me In tho fm of a personal letter from the general written on the day that the convoyed ships docked, and written also appar ently at a moment when the stationery of ordinary correspondence, official and non-official, was not to be had for the Immediate asking. Also there are evidences that the have written his message to his old friend with an unplaned hardtack box as a desk. However, the letter and Its contents were grateful. is not ror me to tell whnt tho general says In his letter, except to say that he tells nothing which the coueor wonia not be willing to pass. iirero i somotning connected with this communication, however, which one can make public probably without running the risk of bringing down upon him the wrath of the war de partment. The general in looking about for some paper to write his message on picked up a sheet which In part al ready had been used by an American army officer who desired to cheer up the men who are to follow him, his general and his comrades In the way across the ocean. The French Version. There Is a suspicion that Captain Sherman of the Engineers corps was the man who had written on the pa per, but General Sibert took it for his own purposes. Sherman, or whoever he was, has reproduced one version of the well-known lines "concerning a concern" at the front and which are called or might be called. "Don't Worry." He has added something of his own. This Is the first ver sion: Two things are certain : Either you ore mobilized or you are not mobil ized. If you are not mobilized, there Is no need to worry; If your are mobil ized, Two things are certain : Either you are at the front or you .are not at the front. If you are not at the front, there Is no need to worry ; If you are at the front, Two things aro certain : Either you are In Immediate danger or you are not In Immediate dnnger. If you are not In Immediate danger there Is no need to worry ; If you are in immediate danger, Two things are certain: Either you are wounded or you are not wounded. If you are not wounded, there is no need to worry ; If you are wounded, Two things are certain: Either you are seriously wounded or you are not seriously wounded. If you aro not seriously wounded, there Is no .need to worry ; If you are seriously wounded, Two things are certain: Either you get well or you die. If you get well thero Is no need to worry ; If you die, you can't worry. . The American Version. Here Is the American officer's adden dum to the lines given above, and It may be that It will make philosophical tho Regulars, the Guardsmen and the new army men who are to go to France : Two things are certain: Either you are ordered to France or you ure not ordered to Frnnee. If you are not ordered to France, there Is no need to worry; If you are ordered to France, Two things are certain : Either you are submarined or you aro not subma rined. If you are not submarined, there Is no need to worry; If you are subma rined, Two things are certain: Either you are picked up or you are not picked up. If you are picked up, there Is no need to worry; If you arc not picked up, Two things are certain: Either you drown or you don't drown. If you don't drown, there Is no need to worry. If you do drown, you can't worry. New Houston Hotel Sixth and Everett Sts.. Portland. Ore. Four blocks from Union Depot Two blocks from New Postofflce. Modern and arenroof . Over 100 outside rooms.

Provision fw rarim for the health of t'aelr fam" aoldlora made by the tutHllral dwpartutaut of the army In clad the construction of 82 hospitals at National army and National Guard camps, the enlargement of some thirty hospitals used In connection with offl cent' training camps, taking over or construction of at least two general hospitals at ports, Increasing the size of two other general hospitals behind these, and the building or taking over of a number of general hospitals to be used for special treatment work, plans for this phase of the work are not complete. Efforts are being made to secure hospital buildings ready built, but some will probably have to be constructed. A number of sites have been offered already. A further step to bo worked out Is the provision of reconstruction hospi tals, where artificial limbs will be made, repair surgery done, artificial limbs fitted to patients, and re-education of cripples begun, to enable them to rue the artificial limbs provided and Again become useful members of so ciety. The aim of the medical department Is to have hospital provisions for 5 per cent of the enlisted force at once, and then to proceed to extend that to 10 per ceht. Abroad facilities for 20 per cent of the American expeditionary forces will be provided. At cantonments hospital provisions will be made for 8 per cent of the troops at each camp. A complete mod ern hospital will be constructed at each, containing at least a thousand beds. With the space reserved for ex tensions, each hospital and Its auxil iary buildings will require 60 acres. This allotment will leave generous space between the various buildings of each hospital. Hospitals at National army camps will cost approximately $500,000 each, and at National Guard camps, where heating Is not required, construction Is lighter and sewer-con nected plumbing Is not to be used, about $400,000. This will bring the total cost of the 82 hospitals to about $14,600,000. Each hospital will have equipment equal to that of the best Institutions In the country, although the construction of the buildings will be of much cheaper quality. One type Is being used in all the hospital construction work done by the army. All the buildings are 24 feet wide, the length varying to meet the needs. The wards are usually 167 feet long, which is the size needed for 82 beds. There will be a diet kitchen for each ward, a porch on one side and end of each ward, and a corridor connecting with the buildings on either side which will be covered In the case of the northern cantonments. About seventy buildings will be com prised In each cantonment hospital on the 1,000-bed basis. In some cases two wards are Joined, thus reducing the actual number of separate build ings, but the number of buildings will reach about seventy, counting each ward as a building. Each hospital will have a well equipped laboratory, where bacteria logical and pathological work can be done, which any well-equipped hospl tal could handle. Some special blood tests will be made at the department hospitals, which will take care of any work that the divisional hospitals at the camps cannot attend to. There will also be an infirmary for each regiment which will fulfill the functions usually performed by Buch Institutions. There men not needing to be confined In hospital will report when any condition appears which de mands watching. There vaccination will be done and the typhoid and para typhoid preventive treatments admin Istered. - s2!t: NaWUAfJ makes sic skins we A. 1 'LOSSES SORELY PREVENTED ni trv 111 UL by GUTTER'S BLACKLEG PIUS VHTIVII Low-priced, ftwg fresh, reliable i k Ei rclerrcil ly mmd mm m w.trn ai.u v.

More than 08 per cent of the native sulphur now produced In the United States comes from deposits in Louis iana and Texas, according to the TJnlted States geological survey, de partment of the Interior, but deposits of sulphur that have been or might be productive occur In Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, California, Colorado, Oregon, and Alaska. Louisiana and Texas ap parently produce enough sulphur to supply even an extraordinary demand, for the combined output of these two states, although the production has not been vigorously pushed, has so greatly exceeded the amount sold that large stocks of sulphur have been accumulated.
