ADVISES FARMERS
I ON KILLING WORMS
Clemson College Tells How to
Get Rid of the Army
I Worm Pest
r Clemson Collegs, July 12.?Infor1
raation Card No. 2, "The Army
I Worm is the title of a brief timely
I Dublication issued by the Entmology
r '*" ?
' Division of the Extension Service of
Clemson College to meet the need for
the Army Worm outbreak.
Specific instructions are given as
follows: "For Army Worm on forage
crops and grasses make and apply
poison bran mixture as directed below:
Bran, 50 pounds; Arsenate of
lead or arsenate of lime or Paris green
1 pound; oranges or lemons, 6 pounds;
cheap syrup or molasses, 2 quarts;
water, 2 gallons.
Mix the dry bran and the poison
in a wash tub. Add the syrup Chop
the oranges or lemons finely and add
juice pulp and all. Then add the wa >
ter and stir to dampen it thoroughly.
TAen add as mucn ^ flWJr <XS> iivcky uc j
necessary to make it a moist, crumbly
mass that will sow easily. (Usually
one gallon of water is required.)
A While fresh the wet fruity mash is
Jf very attractive, but when dry or stale
>Jt is not eaten. This mixture is applied
late in the evening or very early
A in the morning. It should not be
sown just before a shower as the
B rain may wash the poison from the
bran flakes. Little of the mixture is
eaten after the first day and a second
application may be necessary.
W The above formula will sow ten to
fifteen acres. Neither domestic aniB
mals or bird" can get enough of the
poison to injure them if sown as di^B
rected. Never place in heaps or scatter
thickly. Keep out of reach of domestic
animals and children.
After cotton and corn has become
Y infested dust the plants with arsenate
1 of lead or arsenate of lime using
about two pounds of poison to the
acre,?less for very long plants and
two and one-half to three pounds
for cotton over three feet high. Ar-I
senate of lead or arsenate of lime are I
ready for use when purchased, but
may be diluted by mixing with airslaked
lime equal parts. Instead pole
and bag the hand or traction duster
J may be used.
Apply the poison to small areas the
most practical method is to dust it
through a cheese-cloth bag attached to
the end of a stick. On large areas the
better method of application would
be to use two sacks and pole carried

on horseback. This is made as fol- j
lows:
Take a strip of wood three inches 1
wide, one inch thick and one foot long-1
er than width of rows. Six inches
from each end bore a hole one inch
in diameter. Make two sacks of
eight ounce duck six inches deep and
twenty inches long and about the
width of the strip of wood. The open
sides are tacked to the ends of the
strip (called pole) and these can be
filled with poison through the auger
hole in the ends of the pole. A funnel
can be used to advantage.
One man can poison about 29 acres
per day with the bag and pole ana
mule method. All live stock should
be kept out of the poisoned field for
at least three weeks or until after
one or two heavy rains. Muzzle the
mule while applying the poison. Do
not inhale the dust.
To prevent worms from spreading-,
plow a deep furrow around the field
and when the worms pile up in the
furrow drag a log through it. Poison
the adjoining margins of corn and
cotton fields. Graze the infested area
heavily. If ground is level use heavy
roller. If a/road or driveway separates
the infested from the threatened
crop, use drag in killing the caterpillars
when crossing. Cut and cure
the infested grass or hay if far
enough adavnced and plow and plant
to another crop.

LANDIS REBUKES
PRESIDENT WILSON
Federal Judge Stops Court With
Outburst Against Action in
Cattlemen's Case.
Chicago, July 12.?Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Landis of the Federal District
Court is angry at President Wilson.
The President's action in remitting
the sentence of James Dorsey
of Gilbert, 111., caused the outburst.
Judge Landis surveyed the courtroo;n
and said:
"This man Dorsey was indicted
after he had sold an average of 12,000
cattle a year from Alaska to Mexico,
making a profit of about $10 a head.
"He got a veterinarian to sign up
a bunch of blank certificates stating
that he had tested the cattle for tuberculosis
and found them all right.
Then, as the cattle were sold, the
blank certificates were filled in
months after they were signed, and
thus tubercular cattle were spread
through every State in the Union.
"Finally this man is given a miserable
eight years. The Circuit Court
of Appeals and the Supreme Court
affirm this sentence and refuse him a
new trial.
"At last, probably because of some
one's 'oversight,' this man got into
the penitentiary, and the President of
the United States paused in his great
affairs long enough to cut the sentence
in two. I suppose he's due for
a pardon now, but I wonder what
frame of mind a person must be in to
grant a pardon to this man."

DRYS WILL NAME TICKET
Prohibition Party's Convention at
Lincoln to Open July 21.
The present prospect is that the
Prohibition Party will nominate a
Presidential ticket in its National Convention
at Lincoln, Neb., beginning
July 21, says Virgil G. Hinahaw,
Chairman of the Prohibition National
Committee. For the first time in the
history of a Prohibition National Convention
one of the sessions will be
given over to a law enforcement mass
meeting. Another new feature of the
1920 convention will be the discussion
of world prohibition.
o
The State Department has formally
announced that all restrictions on
trade between the United States and
Soviet Russia have been lifted, except
as to materials susceptible of
immediate use for war purposes.
