For trees four and five years old, three-fourths of an ounce per tree, for older trees one ounce, is suggest ed. Until a safe method of treating young trees is perfected, it will be necessary to remove the worms by hand from trees under four years old. This hand work can be done during November. The trees are prepared for treat ment by removing the trash and grass for about a foot around the trunk and leveling the soil even with the topmost borer gallery. The crystals are applied in a circle around the trunk about one inch from the bark, and about six shov elfuls of dirt placed in a mound around the trunk and packed down firmly, with care that the crystals motor vehicle division is operating | are not thrown against the bark in full gear to send out the license | when the dirt is applied, pflates as soon as the applications j After four weeks of exposure, the are received. mounds are removed from trees The department is expecting that four and five years old, and after the entire load of handling this six weeks from older trees, and | immense volume of business will be fresh soil returned to the original J completed in record time this year, level to avoid winter injury.

Seed treat ment given by entomologists is sim ple and effective. For loose and covered smuts of oats it is advisable to disinfect the seed with formaldehyde, they state. This material is applied at the rate of one pint to 50 bushels of grain and is diluted with 10 to 40 gallons of water at the option of the opera tor. The cost of material is only about 11-2 cents for each bushel of grain. Promising results have been obtained by disinfection with or ganic mercury dusts and with for maldehyde dusts, but the cost is somewhat higher! Stinking smut or bunt of wheat is effectively and cheaply controlled by dusting with copper carbonate in a closed mixed chamber. Since the copper dust is poisonous a dust mask or wet handkerchief should be worn over the nose and mouth during the process of mixing. Un diluted copper carbonate Is used at the rate of two ounces for each bushel of wheat, at a cost of three to four cents per bushel. The treat ed seed can be sown Immediately or it may be stored for several weeks and will be practically immune to insect attack. A Happy Birthday Party The latest and most enjoyable so cial event among the tots of Troy, was the celebration, from 5 to 6 o’clock, September 23rd, of the sec ond anniversary of the birth of lit tle Eugenia Ann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Rush. As children always enjoy the out- of-doors, the lovely grove at tha home of her uncle, R. M. Rush, was chosen for the party. / Under a large wide-spreading oak with shade profound, were arranged comfortable seats, pot-plants, ta bles. etc., which greatly enhanced the beauty of the location. The friendly and inviting oak, which stands as a monument to the past ages, was rendered more at tractive by the decorations of vari colored balloons. These balloons floating on the gentle breezes, gave the little ones just such a thrill as they perhaps had never experienc ed. As each tot’s name was registered in Eugenia Ann’s “Baby Book” by Mrs. Burton Price, a lovely little pa per steeple-cap was fitted on them, which gave them a very distinguish ed appearance. The little hostess was never more charming than on this occasion, in her lovely dress of a delicate pink fabric. She also wore a cap of har monizing shade. - She welcomed her guests sitting in a beautifully decorated child’s chair, which was once the highly- prized property of a paternal grand uncle, age over 70 years. ' Pictures were made of the hop- oree and her guests after which they were entertained with games and stories. . After this the very elaborate birthday cake, with its trimmings of pink and white, was brought to the grove and placed on a table covered with a crocheted piece, the work of her paternal grandmother. As it was placed on the. table the guests gathered around Eugenia Ann and sang “Happy Birthday." Delicious refreshments were semed. As the children were pre paring to leave the little hostess presented each child with candy and a balloon as souvenirs. Many thanks from her to each one for the pretty and useful gifts. The guests were: Bonnie Banister, John Broadus Alton, Troy, R. F. D.; Charles H. Rodgers and Martha Rodgers, CaUison; Beatrice Cres well, Martha Creswell, Doris McCas- lan, Ansel Burnett Talbert, Rally Long, Pete Cook Edwards, Margaret Bowen, Sonny Robinson, Mildred White, Carol Harris, Julia Pucket and Thomasine Steifle.
