' Probably the most misleading insect on tbe grains If not on tbe fnrm Ih tbe common northern gralu aphis. It col lects during some seasons In great numbers on the beads of wheat. r.ve, barley, oats, sorghum and other near relatives of tbe grass family, some times fairly packing full tbu spaces lu the beads of these plums nud Helming to threaten tbelr very existence. Tbls gathering In great numbers usually oc curs Just as tbe grain Is in the milk. Iu all the Instances seen by the writer, R. H. Pettit of tbe Mlcblguu experi ment station, the threatened Injury has been averted by tiny parasites, which Jiave destroyed tbe plant lice nnd re* duced the loss to a nominal one. The northern grain aphis appears very mucb like other plant lice, botb winged and wloglesa forms being found. Tbo color is green wltb black markings. Tbe Illustration gives on idea of its appearance under a strong lens. Before tbe grain commences to ripen the parasites usually commence to destroy tho lice.

Yoakum Talks to National Con vention on 0«v«lopm*nt of Country as Proof That Highway* Should B* Improved by National Appropriation. Oue o f tbe most Interesting addresses delivered before the National Good Roads association at Niagara Falls recently was that of B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad company. The key note of Ills address was that the gov ernment wastes enough to build all ( highways aud tbe saving to farmers of millions of dollars. The salient points o f bls speech were: “Your organization stands for a duty sadly^uegiected by the government.. Good roads mean more for the people at large thau any other public work and add moro to tbe comfort and up building of tbe country. Tbey are of national ImiwrtMice. \Government statistics tell us that It costs our farmers 15 cents more to hnul one ton, ono uillo lu this country tban it costs Tli European couutries. Tbe products o f tbe farms o f the Unit ed States last year amouuted to ap proximately 250.000,000 tons. The gov ernment shows the average haul of a ton was nine miles. This difference of 15 cents a ton per mile represents an additional cost of (1.85 a ton for an average haul of nine miles. Estimat ing that two-thirds of tbe agricultural products of last year were hauled away from -the farms, tbere would have been n saving to the American farmers of 1225,000,000 If our roads bad been np to tbe standard of Euro pean roads, uot Including their back banl of suppliea from tbe atatlons to the farms. Tbey would also bave saved Ini£* sums lo the cost o f replac Ing and repairing harness, wagons, etc.,'and in the investment and care of extra draft stock, \ I t took three-quarters of a century to' build up tbc American railroads. During, the same time little attention has been glveuto the building up of American couutry roads. .Yet the val ve of the two to tbe public -goes! hand lu hand. Food and clothing must be handled between' the producers and tho consumers over both the coWtry road and the railroad. It Is Important that tbe country roads approach tbe high standard of the railroads. \The greatest value of good roads will lie to the farmers who have not as yet become Interested. You luive not yet fonnd n wny to reach tbem to properly place your arguments and statistics before them. They need to be shown that the poorest roads are the most expensive roads. They hnve not been shown tliat tlielr broken wag ons. broken harness nnd blacksmith bills cost them more than the cost of having good roads. They bavo not been shown thnt n four dollar a day team enn do twice the work over good roads, which makes thnt team worth to them 98 n day. The way to get good roads Is to innke nil tbe people know them and keep'them constantly In mind. The transportation system which carries our food aud clothing from maker to user Is part railroad and part country road. One part Is as necessary as the other. Your organi sation In Its support of the betterment of our public highways should talk lu millions Instead o f thousands. - ......... i i i i i i i r ‘ \ We hnv® 2,100.000 miles of public ' roads, From tlie best Information ob- ROOMS TO KENT By D a J V \ 1 \ Special Rate, to {VBe. taking rooms for Winter C o t t a g e H o t e l Second and D.

After pupa' tion occurs Inside tbls cocoon the par asite cuts a neat circular door in the akin of the louse lu order to get out. Tbo multiplication of the plant lice ia rapid indeed, but tbnt of tbe pnrn sites Is still more rapid, so that before tbe grain la killed tbe lice are for tbe most part destroyed.

Examine tbe crowns and roots of peach trees for borers. A mass of gum Is nn Indication of the insects. Tbey can be dug out with a knife and destroyed. A flne wire will also get tbem out. When planting large, flat seeds set tbem in tbe ground edge wise. Germination is more cer tain. Two experiment statlons-Knn- sas and Nebraska-Iwre bad aatlsfactory results from seed ing a mixture of nlfalfa and brome grass for permanent pas tures. Tbe presence of tbe brome grass so reduces the dan ger from bloat that tbe value of alfalfa pastures becomes availa ble. A good seed, good culture, good crops and good farmers go to gether. Don't bank on luck. New land will always raise a crop, but it takes care and labor to keep old flelds productive. Tbe mau wbo plows wltb a purpose will always beat the man wbo spurts witbout plan ning. Every farmer should do nil be enn to make farm life attrac tive for bis children so tbey will not desire to lenye the farm. Some farmers are too busy in tbelr coruUelds to slop and read the papers and miss tlw Item telling how to double the crop. A better way Is to rest and rend nn hour nt noon. Sucb time Is ! never lost.
