THE FARNGR'S ~ COLUMN WHEAT PLANTING TIME The season for planting wheat is at hand, and the chief feature in av- oiding destruction by the fall brood of the Hessian fly lies in not planting too early. Over the greater part of Pennsyl- vania wheat should not be planted before the last week of September, and to be sure of avoiding the Hess- ian fly, it is best to delay the plant- ing in all parts of the State until the latter part of this ian fly has been very destructive throughout Pennsylvania, and farm- ers have learned = the importance of taking precautionary measures to- ward preventing an increase. Volun- teer grain should be plowed down by the end of thismonth. Those who are wise emough to have a trap strip ac- ross the field in order to catch the eggs of the Hessian fly can turn this down bn the last of September and dril it to wheat for their regular crop. Seeding before the middle of Sep- tember is almost sure to be infested with the fly, anl carry this pest over the winter for its spring brood. which is the one that causes the wha=at straws to break and fall before hayr- vest time. There is no means of pre- venting the destruction by the spring brood of the Hessian fiy. No agricul- tural practice, no fentilizng and no in- secticide has yet been able to check it Or reduce it. The best recommenda- tion that can be given for preventing the ravages of this pest, which has destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollays in Pennsylvania, is the one point of late fall seeding. This, of course, does not mean that the seed bed should be prepared late. The seed bed should be prepared by early plowmg amd abundant harrowing, sc that it is in a good state of cultivation to receive and retain moisture and keep the plants growing vigorously. COUNTRY HOME WATER SYSTEM “Water systems for country homes may be put in at a very reasonable cost,” says Charles G. McLain, water supply engineer of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. “It de- pénds somewhat upon the facilties for water as to the kind of o system to be put in. If the well is the only source, the method may be either a storage tank or a pressure tank. If the stor- age tank is used it may be either in the attic or else some elevation con- venjently close to the buildings to be _ supplied. If the pressure tank sys- tem is used the tank can be placed either in the cellar or else in a place prepared for it outside of the build- ing. * 1H “In either case it is necessary to have a pump of some kind to force the water from the well to the place of storage. “If the elevated storage tank is used, the water returns from it by gravity to be distributed through the building as desired. The pressure tank distributes the wates by air pres- sure as the water is forced into the tank that is full cf air, thus producing the air pressure. “If these js a high teason or any electric line running near by putting in an automatic switch one can be rid of a lot of trouble starting and stop- ping a gas engine, because the differ- ent pressures will automatically start and stop the pump, by turning on and turning off the electric current. “The cost of most any system can be regulated to suit the circumstances of the party putting it in.” month.

Afterwards, when I went to the village school, my chief diversion, after les~ sons were learned and before they ! were recited, was in turning over the pages of the “Unabridged” of those days. Now the most modern Una- bridged—theNEW INTERNATIONAL— gives me a pleasure of the same sort. So far as my knowledge extends, it is at present the best of the one-volume dictionaries, and quite sufficient for all ordinary uses. Even those who possess the splendid dictionaries in several volumes will yet find it a great convenience to have this, which is so compact, so full, and so trustworthy as to leave, in most cases, little to be desired.” — Albert S.
