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.”

“When I was a growing lad, and came
upon many words in iny reading that
I did not understand, my mother, in-
stead of giving me the definition when
I applied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way I gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in question —among other things,
how to use a dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
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. Cook, Ph.D.,LL.D.,
Professcr of the English Language and
Literature, Yale Univ. April 28, 1911.
