They feed on prac- tically all plants of the potato fam- ily, attacking potato, tomato, eggim plant, ground cherry and jimson family. The female deposits her eggs on the under side of the leaves. These eggs are yellow in color and female is capable of producing be- tween eighteen and nineteen hundred eggs. As soon as these hatch the small larvae or "slugs" feed on the plant until full grown, when they drop to the ground and enter the soil where they change to a naked, yel- Jowish colored pupae. Within a short time these pupae change into the hard-shell beetles. These climb out and begin eating the leaves of the plant along with the larvae. **These i ts eat a quantity of food out of all proportion to their size. It has been estimated that the po- tato "erop of the "country is reduced insects and diseases. If spraying were not practiced at all this figure would be much larger. The total number of bushels lost every year to the above two causes can be con- siderably reduced by the right me- thods of spraying. Nearly every community, where potatoes are grown, contains those who either do not spray at all or else do not spray as thoroughly as they should.

Live Lad- vertising has been proven of - the greatest importance in selling stock at a profit. A farmer with pure- bred cockerels weighed them up and estimated= how much they would bring on his loca] market. Then he thought that they were pure-bred and of a breed that was popular in his community. He placed a small advertisement in the paper and sold them at a price twice as large as their value for meat and they were worth the increased price as breed- stock because other farmers needed new blood of that breed and the birds were vigorous and of good type. Without the assistance of ad- vertising the birds only had their: meat value. The advertising reach-| ed a class of customers who could put such stock to even more profit able use and ghus could pay more monéy for them. : A farmer with a pair of pedigreed; watch-dogs of a popular breed had | eight pups for sale. He advertised in his town paper and sold them within a week and had to refuse several orders. Several farmers came a long distance to see the pups, and in every case made a purchase] "and the breeder did not even have the trouble of crating them for express. In other cases the pups were crated in small boxes and shipped by ex- press and reached the buyers in-good condition. Many farmers fear to ship' animals by express and never do, when it can be avoided. Possibly the losses in express shipments are emphasized so frequently that we forget the large number of satisfac- tory shipments that are made. The use of proper packages that are care- fully marked is one of the necessary factors in making advertising pay. In advertising poultry it pays to study the stock for sale and then de- scribe it as briefly and acéurately as possible. Some buyers like! to know the strain of fowls for sale and whether the birds are bred-to- lay or exhibition stock and they like to pick up those points from the first advertisement. If the buyer is after hatching 'eggs he will wish to know something about the breeding stock. Many advertisers sell only hatching eggs from mature hens and not from pullets and this is a point worth mentioning in thé advertising. When a farm is for sale advertis- ing is necessary to place that fact before a large number of prospective buyers. Often a farmer places a sign before his house when the farm is for sale. The neighbors read the sign and the farmers and motorists see it, but often the man who is looking for such a farm is living in a nearby city or on a farm in another township and he will not see any roadside sign and. not know that the place is for sale if it is not | INTERNATIONAL: LESSON .

The writer has no grudge against the real estate men but be- lieves that many farmers could find more satisfactory buyers for their farms. if they would handle the transaction themselves and do their own advertising and not turn the deal over to any agent. Of course, the real estate men that advertise to sell firms. and demand a fee in advance should not be patronized by farmers with land for sale. When a farmer wishes to sell his land, he should first make it as presentable as possible, then advertise in papers that reach. both farmers and city buyers then geal with honest buyers w reciate good farms and do not waste'the farmer's time trying to trade questionable securi- ties qo goor city property for the land. | Mvertisig often locates a bona fide farm buyer in the most method of placing honest facts be- fore @ large number of people. It is not only the cheapest but the quickest and the best method. When cows and calves are for sale, many farmers.keep them longer than is necessary when they only adver- tise on the farm sign board. Often they try to sell to friends or neigh- bors who are really not in the market for such stock. Then they try the advertisement. which places their stock before many buyers and some of them immediately prove to be in the market for the cattle. The foun- dation of the pure-bred live stock business rests on faith in honest ad- vertising and the farmer who at- tempts to make the most profit from pure-bred animals without the use of paid publicity is making a mistake that costs much money. Even grade cattle can often be 'sold at good prices by advertising, as many farmers need another good grade cow for their herd. At the present time there is a fine demand for dairy cattle having even a fair producing ability and such cows do not need to be sold for beef as there is always some buyer who will pay more for them than beef prices if they still have any value as milk pro- ducers. A short advertisement will usually locate buyers for such stock stock buyer. The farmer with the pure-bred bull calf for sale might wish that a hun- dred thousand people would march down his road and read his sign say- ing that the bull was for sale. He might be willing.to pay several dol- lars to obtain an audience of that size. It is certainly lucky that he can buy a little advertising space for a_few dollars that will tell his story to all those people. The farmer on the back road and the farmer near the large city have about an equal chance to sell their live stock through the medium of advertising. The price is the same to each. "Let them have dominion." Com- Thus, we are taught; God "associates man with Himself in the government of the world. He gives him God-like pow- ers, for the right use of which he is responsible. He puts, so to speak, the world of living things in his care, to be controlled and used, but never abused, by him. Gen. 2: 7-9.

This form of injustice is not peculiar to the farm, When parents cannot see the value of a life above the accumulations of worldly possessions and the carrying out of their own personal ambitions, we feel as though there ought to be some way for them to see it.

But --and this is a hig, grave but: when parents fail in their obligations to- wards the soul given to their care, shall they not expect those souls to seem to fail them sooner or later?

No truer description of Dust. In this second | account of man's creation the language is bolder and more picturesque than in the first, in chapter 1. There God created in His own image; here He forms, as a potter forms the clay, and inbteathes the life of the soul (2: 8). The es- gential truth is the same. Man's in- ner life, his soul life, is derived from the breath of God. This statement, as that of 1: 26-27, is made of all men, without distinction.
