WIRE WORMS AN
tl•'ireworms are to be recognized
as one of the worst pests of corn, and
carry their destructiveness to wheat,
oats, potatoes and many other crops.
They are yellowish -brown larvae hav-
ing hard polished skills, the bodies
slender and cylindrical in shape, xnea-
suring from three-quarters of an inch
to an inch hi length. The most in-
jurious form in Ontario prefers low,
mucky or poorly drained soils, feed-
ing on the roots of grasses, grain's
and the like. Two or three years are
required far them to reach maturity,
which accounts manly times, for the
damage done by this peat a year or two
after sod has been turned under. Tho
adult of the wire -worm is a brownish
beetle which, from its habit of snap-
ping its body up in the air, when turn-
ed on its back, is known as a "click-
beetle," "skipping -jack" or "snap-
ping -beetle."
Where They Live
Early in the spring these be.ebles
come out from the soil and soon lay
their eggs in sod land or land thickly
overgrown with vitas. . These eggs
hatch into tiny wirewoinns. it fre-
quently happens that, durhig the first
year, the young worms feed upon sod,
that has been turned under, and do
not do their greatest harm to the
cultivated crop until the second sea-
son. They require about three
years to turn into beetles. Towards
midsummer of the year in which they

About a month later they change into
the beetles but stay in the ground uti-
til the following. sharing.
Control Measures
Susceptible props like corn, pota-
toes or root crops should not be plant-
ed after glowing .up grass sod, es-
peoially if wireworms are known to
be present. They do not thrive well
In clover land and so this crop is a
good one to use on infested soil. If
wheat is going to follow infested corn
land it will be best to have the land
well tilled as soon as the corn is re-
moved. Plowing kills many ;worms
by destroying their food supply and
preventing: them from preparing "`suit
able quarters for the winter.
Inasmuch as many of our worst
cutworms live in poorly drained soil
it will bewell to have such land tiled.
The use of commercial fertilizers
has a tendency to overcome wireworm
injury. It will not kill bhe insect but
will aidthe plaint in overcoming its
work. It is -sometimes advisable to
drain land and add lime in order to
make it possible for the clover to es-
tablish itself, and this has given rise
to the impression that lime itself kills
wireworms . The action of the lime i ;
is simply to change the physical
character of the soil which makes it
unfavorable to these pests.

Lesson VXI. Jesus Exercises Kingly
Authority—Mark 11. 15-33.
Golden Text, Matt 28. 18.
Verse 15. Entered into the temple
--In the early part of his ministry, as
recorded -by John (2. 13-17) he had
cleansed the temple,but now the old
traffic was in full svring,.and perhaps
worse than before. He now with
great vigor and authority expels those
who profane the holy, courts. Cast
out them that sold and them that
bought—Victims for the temple ser-
vice; wine, oil, salt were the various
things purchased. That they could
be purchased within the temple pre-
cincts was doubtless a great conven-
ience to the pilgrims, but the sordid
coerce zaty spirit which had grown up
turned all the traffic to desecration,
profanity, greed, and fraud. Over-
threw the tables of the moneychang-
ers—The temple tax of a -half-shekel
which every Jew had to pay annually
had to be paid in Jewish money. Pil-
grinis from all parts of the neighbor-
ing world brought with them Gentile
money which naturally would have to
be changed for the current coin of the
Jews. Great profits came to :the
moneychangers at this time, who were
not slow, as in Cairo Jerusalem and
Constantinople to -day, . to reap rich
results from extortionate charges.
Them that sold doves—The Levitical
law (Lev 12. 8; Luke 2. 24) provided
that those who were unable to pur-
chase lambs might purchase doves.
16. Carry a vessel through the
temple—Any kind of implement. They
had fallen into the habit of making a
thoroughfare of the temple precincts,
which the Jewish authorities had pro-
hibited.
17. And he taught—Stirred by what
he saw he. seized the opportunity to
instruct them on the proprieties of
the sanctuary. Ye have made it a
den of robbers—The din of traffic is
not in harmony with the spirit and
practice of prayer in the house of
God. The chaffering of traders, the
noise of sacrificial beasts, the noise of
men 'tramping through the sacred
courts, was not so bad as the greed
and robbery by which unscrupulous
traders had enriched themselves at

had the people with him and they did
not dare arrest him before the crowd,

ers of the people and despisers of the
common folk.

time. He is challenged by all three
classes, including the custodians of
the temple, who might reasonably
claim to inquire why he presumed to
exercise authority in a region over
which they had special jurisdiction.
29. I will ask you one question—He
now brings up the mooted question of
Jahn'e authority todo as he did. What
authority has any man, to move out of
the conventional order, unless he is
moved with a mighty call to his day!
Why did John baptize and so scath-
ingly arraign the leaders of his day?
32. They feared the :people: for
all verily held John to be a prophet---
Consequently, have ly, to h ve lightly esteem-
ed John was to bring upon them the
popular indignation. Instead of frank-
ly owning to their conviction of John's
divine call they took refuge in 'a
cowardly profession of ignorance.
33. Neither tell I you by what au-
thority I do these things—John's fen. -
lees action was the action of. a' pro-
phet; Jesus' conduct was likewise the
procedure of one moved by divine au-
thority,`but he refused to answer men
who weremovedonly by a hostile
curiosity.

How Canada's Greatest :Shoe House
Sup' lies the Footwear
CONSIDER, the amount of time and the infinite care you take when
buying footwear to suit your own taste in regard to style, size, etc.
Multiply your own individual needs by millions and you will get an idea
of the immense task which confronts the makers of Canada's footwear,
and the size of the organization it is necessary to maintain for that purpose;
The buying of a single pair of shoes.
is an event that occupies a person but.
a few moments two or three times a
year -but to meet the accumulated
demand of a nation's individuals, it
requires the whole resources of 'a
gigantic industry, Ames Holden
cCready are truly "Shoemakers to
the Nation." It is a title justified by
their size and the importance of their
business.
It may be a revelation to many
Canadians to know that to supply
them with proper footwear, this firm
maintains huge factories each with
many acres of floor space, and hun-
dreds of intricate, almost human, :ma-
chines—facilities and equipment suffi-
cient to turn out 8,000 pairs of shoes
every working day.
It requires a small army of work -
people, clerks and warehousemen, in
addition to executives, buyers and
travellers:
- It requires much study and thought
to plan styles and models of Men's,
Women's and Children's shoes in their
various grades and styles.
In order to secure the best results`
in the production of various kinds and
grades, it is also necessary to specialize,
lST. ION?
For example Ames - Holden
McCready factories are separated into
three distinct factory units,'. each a
complete factory in itself,
• One unit of our factories is devoted
entirely to the manufacture of high
grade footwear for Women and: Chil-
dren. Consider the great variety of
styles in women's footwear, including
high -top boots, oxfords and pumps.
Consider the many different patterns
and lasts, the varieties and shades of
leather and finish—then.. you will see
what a great number of models are
required to meet the widely different
needs of Canadian women in the cities
and towns and also in the country
districts.
Another factory unit is devoted to
making only the better grades and
styles of Men's Shoes -shoes for pro-
fessional men,lawyers, doctors, and
all business men. whose occupations
permit the use of fine leathers such
as calf and kid.
The ,third unit specializes in stun;
dier types of shoes for heavy wear
and rough usage. Shoes for farmers,
lumbermen, miners, trainmen, and
workpeople who require a heavier
and more_solidly-constructed boot.
In addition to the work of manufac-
ture—the requirements of disiribut ion
are also tremendous. A manufacturer
must not only make his goods econo-
mically and well—but he must deliver
them --DISTRIBUTE them. There-
fore, in addition to a force of 6o travel-
lers constantly visiting the retail trade'
from coast to coast, Ames Holden
McCready maintain, in the centres of
population throughout Canada, im-
mense stocks of boots and shoes
ready for immediate shipment to the
retailers in each section.
These warehouses are located in
the following cities;
8t. John Toronto Montreal
Winnipeg Edmonton Vancouver
Years of experience has taught us
the kind and styles of boots which are
required in each locality.. No matter
in what part of; Canada you reside, no
matter what particular kind of shoe
you require, your retail dealer can
procure it for you without loss of time.
• And that is the reason why you will
find, even in the outlying districts.
that dealers selling Ames Holden
McCready goods are up-to-date with
stocks that are fresh and new, and
which reflect the latest shapes and
styles.
When you see the A.H.M. 'trade mark 'On—a .hoe,: you know that not Oily is that
mark an endorsement by the largest shoe concern en Canada, but that being the
product of a highly organized industry, the shoe you are buying represents the
utmost in value, style and wearing qualities .which can be obtained at the price.
