" WNU Service.- There are a number of methods of controlling the fall army worm Dust calcium arsenate on crops not burned by this material; on other crops such as corn, beans and peas, apply lead arsenate dust to cover the plant thoroughly. Small plants like alfalfa and crabgrass may be protected with ap plications of poisoned bait. This is especially recommended where the worms have almost destroyed the crop. The bait can be made at home with one pound of paris green^to 50 pounds of wheat bran. Add two gallons of molasses that have been thinned with water, and stir thoroughly. Then pour in enough: water to make, the bait crumbly; but , not soupy. ; / Fifty pounds of bait is enough for five acres. Apply it broadcast in the evenings, and do not allow poultry or animals access to treated fields. Smaller amounts of bait can be mixed in the same proportion. If desired, two pounds of calcium arsenate may be substituted for the pounds of pariis green in the bait. When the worms are migrating, they can be trapped by plowing a deep furrow at right angles to their course of advance. Shallow holes dug at intervals in the furrow and filled with gas oils or kerosene will kill the worms. Where it is not possible to plow a furrow, a thin line of coal tar placed a little distance ahead of the-worms will keep them fiqm invading neighboring fields. Famous Americans Urged r Planting of Red Clover Just who broqght the first red clover to the New World is still a question, but records in the United States Department' of Agriculture report that many men famous in Colonial history urged its growth. As early as 1633, Lord Baltimore asked his settlers to bring good storeis of clover seed, but there is no record that they did. William Penn in 1685 tells of success in growing English grass (red clover) and that Robert Turner, a wealthy merchant planter sowed "great and small clover." Benjamin Franklin, about 1750, wrote that he had "seeded 30 acres to red clover in Philadelphia on the 23rd of August." Nearly 25 years later his "Poor Richard's Almanac" told of "An experienced method of sowing clover on barley." George Washington in 1786 wrote that seed of red clover was obtainable "on easy terms" in Virginia. It was in these years -- the reconstructioh period after the Revolution -- that extensive cultivation of clover began. Water Hemlock Poison v Cicuta maculata, also known as water hemlock, is deadly poisonous to live stock. It has such a vile smell when., the leaves or stems are broken that one would not expect live stock to eat any of it, but cattle will at times, and with fatal results, especially when the plant i$ full of sap. Children have befcn poisoned by eating the fleshy roots, which taste a bit like parsnips. This is a vile plant, which should be killed put or fenced in so thoroughly that rio cattle can get tq it. The flower heads look a little like wild carrot, but are larger. Most farmers know this plant in localities where it grows, but many do not know its poisonous qualities.--Rural New-Yorker. •! »H"|i•>»•••• » Jay North, the son of Mr. and Mr3. J. W.

Ely. Minn.--A black bass recently embarked on a "one fish crusade" in Burntside lake near this city. For nearly four hours the fighting fish was successful in holding his ancestal waters agaihst the attack of bathers who had hung their clothes-on a hickory limb. Apparently Mr. Bass decidedf that his tribe had suffered enough wrongs at the hands of anglers, and fortified in his stronghold under the dock viciously attacked anyone who entered the water. The tourists, considerably frightened, were willing to concede possession of the lake to its rightful owner. The mere twiddle of a toe or the swish of a. finger brought the battling bass to the attack and sufficient speed was not exercised in withdrawing the submerged extremity, the fish scored a casualty. Minnows, spoons and spinners, dangled before him failed to produce results. The fellow was in a fighting mood, and not hungry. At last strategy was brought into play on the watery battlefield. A hook, ..attached to a short line was tied to a wooden float. A tourist gingerly inserted his finger in tiie water beside the hook. With inr credible speed the fish attacked. The owner of the finger toppled into the lake, onlookers retrieved the float from which the flsh was dangling, and a three pound bass was served for dinner shortly after- Wards. : r •> Qollt Stuffed With Gold ; 3niuggled Out of Japan Tokio!--The smuggling of Japanese goods into China was given a new twist with the revelation that gold bullion was being stuffed into dolls and sent to Shanghai for sale at a higher price than was paid for it here. Police who arrested seven alleged smugglers said that several hundred thousand dollars in gold had been smuggled out of Japan. In this smuggling case Japanese authorities moved alertly, showing none of the disinterest which they have demonstrated in the face of protests -from other powers that north China ,was being flooded with illegally imported Japanese merchandise. There is a strict embargo on gold bullion exports. The dolis reached Shanghai after a circuitous route through Corea and Manchukuo. The seven alleged smugglers were, arrested here and in Osaka. The leader of the band, reputed to be a Chinese who hid his real identity even from his associates, was not appiehended. Surgeon Saves Life ofV^'.::i' . Fawn With Brokeii teg Sault Ste. Marie.--Dr. Max M. Peet, chief surgeon at the University, hospital, Ann Arbor, used his skill to save the life of a deer fawn at Munuscong state park recently. Dr. Peet was vacationing in the park when the fawn, which apparently had been attacked by a dog, was brought to him by Conservation Officer Joseph Hill, of Pickford. Its left hind leg had been broken seriously, the bone protruding through the flesh. Producing his - surgical. kit, the surgeon cleaned and scraped the bone and rpplied the proper, dressings and splints, and at latest resports from the park superintendent his patient was recuperating in good shape. „ Married to His Mother; Mistake Is Corrected Paulsboro, N.

In view of Waukegan's decision to await the vote in Chicago on Eastern time before deciding what changes shall be made'there, it is considered probable that Libertyville, as well as other country towns, will do likewise. At a meeting of the village board on Tuesday night, the matter was up for discussion, but no action was taken. A purvey conducted last week showed that various towns, Antioch, Mundelein, Barrington and Lake Zurich had already decided to follow the lead set by Chicago. The only town contacted which did not consider a delay in changing back to central standard time was Lake Villa, but with all neighboring county towns waiting to sfee what Chicago will do, it is now considered Unlikely that Lake Villa will make any change. None of the county towns favor eastern time as a year 'round proposition, but none of them feel that they can advantageously use a time schedule different from that of Chicago. , Death of Herman K.

Workers on WPA projects in and near Libertyville have tliis week been approached by Democratic' campaign workers armed with Roosevelt pledge cards and thinly veiled insinuations | that failure to sign the cards might j possible result in a less of employment, it was reported this week. It is at present unknown how many workers have signed or refused to sign the pledges, but, according to information no available, approval of the | demand is not viewed with universal approval by the workers. One worker is reported to have said that while the foreman on the job did not discuss the cards, the timekeeper, urged him to sign. An obligation of the Condell Memorial hospital, consisting of notes outstanding in the amount of $26,000 was this week discharged through the generosity of Mrs. L.
