If the plants should become so heavily infested that they start' withering, spray them with kerosene! or cover with dry pine wtraw and p; burn them.

V. Starkey,; chief animal husbandman here, ad- j vises. When the pigs are farrowed, it is. important that they go at once on area not infested with parasites, says t h<' specialist! ami when they j are three w<g-ks old, the sow should be on full feed. The best way, in; short, to keep the young, pigs grow-: ing is through proper feeding of the; sow which should have all she will eat of a well-balanced ration. For the suckling pigs Prof. Starkey recommends creep feeding, six parts j of corn and one part of "fish meal be-j ing a satisfactory ration. Creep | feeding has several advantages, the chief one being that the pigs learn. to out and are not stunted when weaned at about eight weeks of age. After weaning access to some green forage0and a ration such as corn and f\shmoal free-choice, are recommend-j ed for the pigs, which should reach j marketable* weight in September bo-' fore the usual drop in price of pork.

' V: Bishop Cannon Will Face Trial Washington. May 16.?A remflfbw of the heated political campaign was given Bishop Jam** CanjKm, Jr., Uxh?y through an appellate court'* ruling that he must aland trial on charge* of violating the corrupt pmc-1 tlce* act. Through his attorney*, the churchman gave notice that he planned to appeal at once to the supreme court. In it he will attempt to have the highest court overturn the ruling today of the IHatrict of (Viumbia circuit court of appeal* that the indictments against him ami M?s Ada Burix?ugh?, of Richmond, Va., were valid. His lawyer* will also challenge the constitutionality of the corrupt practices act. Bishop Cannon waged an energetic! light against the election of Alfred' E. Smith. The court phases developed from campaign contributions which he received from K, C\ Jameson. Jameson, wealthy New Yoiker, gave Bishop Cannon'* organization $65,300 to use against Smith. M.sk Burroughs was the churchman's secretary <luring the campaign and treasurer of tin- Virginia anti-Smith 1 >emoeiatic organization. The charge was made that the bishop violated the federal corrupt practices act by omitting to report the receipt and expenditure of the' major portion of the money to the' clerk of the house.

Pmc beetles have killed millions of trees in the beaverhead and Bitter Root national forests of Montana during the past several months.

' ' Voodoo Doctor Is Getting Business Down below Heath Springs about three miles Jives ajnegro voodoo doctor who seems to be well patronised by Lancaster colored people as well as colored people from other parta of the county. Selling charms to colored people seems to be the main occupation of this colored doctor although Ben Harris, well-known colored man who works for the city, and who has one of Doctor Jackson's charms says that bd understands many colored people go to him to receive medical treatment which consists of herbs. Ben Harris carries his charm with him at all times for he claims that this charm protects him from harm and that his enemies are absolutely thwarted by the little charm which ho carries in his pocketbook. Ben says he would be out of luck if he should lose this charm which the negro sorcerer sells for the modest price of fifty cents. In describing his visit to l>r. Jackson, Ben said that when he first entered the house the doctor brought out a deck of cards. By looking at certain cards it was evident to the. doctor that' Ben Harris had certain enemies who were blocking his path. Different card* seemed to represent different people and a slight description of the people who were crossing Ren's path was given. To overcome the evil -that these colored .people were to bring Harris a charm was needed and fifty cents was all that was the cost. Ben's credit was good with the doctor so that he got the charm with a promise to pay in the near future. Ben say that he has not paid for the charm as yet but that he will do so in the near future because of the facto that the charm is likely to bring him bad luck instead Of good luck if he does n<U pay for it. The charm which Ben carries appears to be a petrified arrowhead although it may be merely a petrified rock or some other kind of petrified product. It is unlike most any other, kind of an article and for this reason appears to have supernatural power in preventing the wearer from encountering any kind of evil. Patrolman Ix*o Jenkins says that he observes many negroes travelling down the road leading to Dr. Jackson's house, mostly at night. It is believed that he holds frequent seances for the benefit of the more superstitious of the negroes in this vicinity. He Tias a new log house in a thinly settled section below Heath Springs. However, Dr. Jackson is not the only personto- sell sarcb emblems of luck. Chief Hughie Montgomery says that he often finds such charms upon negro men and women who come before him in his official duties as chief of police. Chief Montgomery -recently destroyed a large batch of voodoo charms which he had gathered from various negroes. He says that most of these are made by a mixture of hair, refuse and blood and wrapped in a cloth. When one of these are taken from a negro a confession of all he knows is easily obtainable. Chief Montgomery says. A negi*b would turn up his own brother to get that charm back. The chief also has gathered a classy collection of razors which he has taken off of colored people. The law against carrying revolvers is th<* same as carrying a razor. Chief Montgomery is probably better informed as to negro habits and superstitions than anyone in town. He says that many of the negroes bury some kind of a charm in front of the steps to prevent evil spirits from entering the house. The practice of burning sulphur to keep witches out of the house is practiced by a few of ^the more superstitious negroes. Despite these primitive beliefs or perhaps because of them the records I of the town and county show that! 1 the negroes behave themselves bet- r 1 tor than the white people. The re- , 'cords show that the negroes give very 'much less trouble than the whites an<i that ..f Lite years even stealing is nu.re prevalent among the white race than the colored peop.e. ?
