IRRIGATION WILL PERFORM WONDERS We got hold of this one the other day and it’s so good that we’ll just slide it along: It seems that a ceatain man died and went to bis reward but that on his presentation of credentials at the pearly gates be did not have enough to get by. “Well, I am sorry young man,” the good saint said, “but you will have to go below.” “Weil how do I get there?” was the inquiry. “You take the first red car that comes by on this line,” replied the saint. Anyhow, the tale goes, the young mao caught his car and sat in gloomy silence as the car glided along to its destina- lion. “I wouldn’t feel so b'ue about it," remarked the conductor twirling bis spiked tail. It might be worse.” “I don’t see where you get it,” replied bis passenger. “But I don’t under stand thee green fields we have been running through for the last hour.” “Ob, this is Hades,” explained the conductor. “Impossible,' said the man. “Why I always understood that Hades was a burning, barren spot.” “Well," said his guide, “it used to be before we got that bunch down here from Stanfield and Hermiston; thev started irrigating and the old place has never looked the same since."—Ex change.

MUCH IN SELECTING FOOD FOR FAMILY The health and appearance of the family are a good test of the whole- someness of their diet, according to the United States Department of Agricul ture Farmers Bulletin 808, on how to select foods. If they are strong, well developed for their ages, free from ail ments, and full of energy and ambi- tion, one may safely say their food agrees with them. But if they are listless and ailing, or not as well de veloped either physically or mentally as they should be. and if a competent physician finds that there is no special disease to account for these bad symptoms, a mother may well ask her- self if the food is right, and if no', how she can make it so. If a little tco much or too little of one nutriment is provided at a single meal or on a sin- gle day, a healthy body does not suffer because it has ways of storing such a surplus and of using its stored mater ial in an emergency. The danger would come if the diet taken week in and week out always provided too much or too little of some one nutrient. Habit and cus'om help greatly be cause they usually are based on what the experience of generations has proved is wise and healthful though, of course, there are bad habits atd outgrown customs in food as in every thing else. Good food habits, it must be remembered, include more than cleanliness and order in everything that has to do with food and meals and leisurely ways of eating. Equally in - portant are a liking for all kinds of wholesome foods, even if they have net always been in use in one's home or neighborhood and eating reasonable amounts, without being either greedy or overdainty. Every effort should be made to train children in such good food habits. If older people bave not learned them, they, too, should try to do so, for such things are vary import ant not only to health but also to economy. To refuse to eat some wholesome dish simply because one is not accus tomed to it may prevent the use of some very desirable and economical food To feel that there is any virtue in providing more food than is needed shows poor taste as well a poor econ omy.

THE ARMY CUTWORM MAY INVADE OREGON and western Oregon are i rged to keep a careful lookout for this serious pest. The caterpillar is in appearance like any ordinary cutworm caterpillar—a soft, mottled, grayish-brown cater pillar, about one inch in length at this time. Thev move in bords and destroy all green vegetation in their pathway, and where present in tuffici- ent numbers, can devastate great areas of tbe small grate, alfalfa and truck crops. Natural barriers prove a check to their progress. Plowing a furrow at right angles to their course of travel and later dragging a small log up and down tbe furrow to prepare a dust mulch, will stop them. They will drop into tbe furrow and are unable to crawl up the sides. The standard poison bran mash is also very effective, when broadcasted over the ground along their course of travel. Any sus pected caterpillars found should be sent to the experiment station at Cor vallis for identification so that it will be possible to act in time to prevent any serious losses from this pest.
