Caterpillar Hordes Devouring Crops I Sudbury, Ont., June 15.?A ravaging horde of millions of caterpillars undulated in a 175-mile front over thousands of square miles of northern Ontario tonight, stripping forests, devouring crops and even stopping trains. All efforts to destroy them or to stop their inarch, had been futile. They multiply so rapidly that despite the millions killed, their numbers increase quickly, although the life of the species is only two days. Agricultural authorities ffaid the visitation was not expected to last longer than another week and that it was now at its height. Little could be done to combat the plague. Plans to spray poison from planes were abandoned as impracticable. Gasoline and kerosene were poured over the massed pests and lighted, but those burned were a small portion of the horde. Government farm experts said it was impossible to estimate the damage to forests and crops, but the toll was tremendous. Tree foliage suffered most. Hundreds of thousands of trees, stretching for miles, had been stripped bare. The whole district to the north of this town is alive with the caterpillars. They are so thick in some areas that the earth appears to be moving as the pests wriggle along. Railroad tracks became so slippery with their crushed bodies that engines were unable to get traction on even slight grades. Train crews split their trains into short sections and by liberal sanding of tracks hauled first one section and then another over the grades. A Driving oil highways was slow and dangerous for the samp reason. The caterpillars have even crossed rivers. They move into the water by hundrdeds of thousands. Many are washed downstream, but many are carried across to the opposite bank by favorable winds. The caterpillars have appeared in Ontario before, but never in such overwhelming numbers. Popularly known as "tent caterpillars," their Latin name is malacosoma disstria. Houses, fences and trees are covered with them, as well as roads and fields. Farm animals are unable to graze as the caterpillars swarm over Ihe grass. horse and buggy days "al;1 "horse and kk> <jtt)w Qf America, were Just Kold*! Uke. I,M,,an urrow*boad8 and tues Th^> ?

I don't know exactly what horse I sense may moan, but It was a common expression In the horse and bug*> days. It seems to have disappeared along with the horso and buggy to a large extent. The next time you take In a fair or a horse show look the horse, over They seem to be rather an Intelligent and attractive group. Keep the picture in mind when you go to u political meeting, or a gathering of a nodal refoitn society. You will bet on the horses every time when it comes to comparing .fpul intelligence, or I miss my guess. 1 am considering groups and not individuals. I don't want to insult any one, not 'even a horse When you drove a horse and hug gy you knew something uboul the horse before you got through You learned from experience. Now pusi experiences covering thousands of yours have no more value than a political promise. Time uud distance are so discounted us to influence die fundamentals of economies, and the alphabet is mixed with horsefeed I am fearful that horse sense died with the horse. If anything is left, it is just the buggy. Front porch and garden gate visits were part of tho horse and buggy days. People had the milk of human kindness in their souls. You didn't hear the rabid talk of class, Weulth was a distinction and not a disgrace. The community had u pride In its well-to-do. The wealthy got a lot of satisfaction being church pillars and prominent citizens. Now, if anyone Is left with Kix dollars after paving taxes and meeting pay rolls, his name is liable to he posted on the Washington monument and ho may be called upon by some investigator or gel a letter from the 52nd assistant to the 3rd assistant to the secretary of tho bureau of social reform, I remember when horse shoes were considered lucky. You used to see them nailed up over barn doors. Now, most of tiie barn doors havo been mortgaged to pay taxes and buy tires so we can all hurry places and then come back. I remember the garden seeds our congressman used to mull us just before election. That used to be good horse and buggy politics. I never cared much about them. I was collecting stamps. Garden seeds are horse and buggy stuff these days. All you have to do now is write to your congressman, even if you don't know him. and you can get a free correspondence course in anything from Abyssjnian folklore to raising zebras. Wagon wheels have made history in America of which I am not ashamed. Granddad did not know about differentials,' but he could drive a colt. Ilo lived in the muscle days | before things were run by sleight of hand. Everything we have came from the horse and buggy days?the days of horse sense and before hothouse bruins. It looks like about all we will have left to pass on will be the horse shoes. I hope our grandchildren will learn to drive horaea. It may come in handy when the gas runs out. Wo will leave them our autobiography In tax reeelpta written an long, long aerial. They will think of uh ua the flrat nuta on the family tree and plant raspherrlea on our gruvea, if they ever find them.t Thinking it over, the home nnd buggy days left a heritage of horn sty and industry that appeala to me.

I VALUE-far Price Owners' experiences show thai the Ford V-8 is the 6e?t investment you majie m an automobile A great many people do not buy an automobile erery year and the true test of car economy comes after the first year .. And owners of Ford V-8s agree that?"The mechanical depreciation on a Ford is less than most cars, especially after the first year.** The rcanon that this Is true of Ford cars goes way back to the raw materials of which they arc built... Men who make steel know that "Ford buys the best steel"... And this rigid insistence on extra value goes right through the whole manufacture of a Ford V-8 ... low-priced Ford replacement parts are built to the same high standard as those in the new car. * ? Because the car itself lasts longer, costs less to keep up^ yet costs no more in the first place, Ford owners agree that? the 1936 Ford V- B is the best automobile investment you can make today.
