until after the corn has begun to hard
en-. 1t would therefore. appear that
bollworms might be largely kept out
of cotton by the proper use of corn as
trap crop.
Extensive tests of corn as a trap
crop were made the last year both at
Calvert and at Willspoint, Tex. Boil
worm moths fly about freely in cotton
fields and would be attracted a consid-
cradle distance by the trap crop. The
experiments in question provided for
belts of corn around and through the
cotton fields, planted so as to be in
prime silking condition about Aug. 1.
BY this means the large generation of
moths appearing late in July and Au-
gust from larvae injecting roasting
ears in the surrounding cornfelds was
largely detracted from the cotton, and
egg laying was concentrated on the
trap rows Of corn. Thus the number
Of eggs found ON a single corn plant
was often surprisingly great. Fur
thermore, the trap rows of corn were
attractive to moths all through the
season, from the time the plants were
twelve to eighteen inches high till
ripening began. The total number of
eggs deposited on a single plant must
be very great, and a single calculation
will indicate the enormous number of
bollworm eggs that are kept from cot
ton by series of belts of corn planted
through the cotton field
It might be supposed that by thus
furnishing the insect with it's favorite
food its increase and consequent great
err destructiveness would be the result.
This, however, appears to be not the
case From the several hundred eggs
that may be found on a single corn
plant but two or three larvae will even
tually succeed in attaining their
growth owing to the cannibalistic hab-
its Of the larvae themselves and for
other reasons

CONDENSED STORIES.
Why Lord Salisbury Wished the sign
board Removed.

The chateau of Lord Salisbury
was at Beaulieu, France, and that ne
might have peace and rest there he
once made a quaint request OF the
mayor of Villefranche. The house
stood on high, well wooded ground
and was approached by carriage
from the old Corniche road. The
inaccessibility of the position and
consequent quiet and peace pleased
the premier greatly. The gardens
were so large and the gate kept by
a Cerberus SO stern that the most
enterprising British or American
tourist found little to repay his curl,
osity after his climb. When Lord
Salisbury first took possession of La
Bastide the mayor of Villefranche,
NJ. Polonais, called upon him to bid
him welcome and Hospitality assured
him that any wish his lordship
might express would, if possible, be
instantly gratliied by himself ana
his councillors.
"Then l will take you at your
word" replied the premier. Il wish
much that the new signboard you
have put up on the road leading
here marked Avenue Salisbury be
taken away"
"But we put it up" stammered
the mayor, gin order to let people
find their way to your villa"
"Ah," sighed Lord Salisbury, 81
see so many people at home and
should like most of them to lose
their way to La Bastide"
The hint was taken.

FOR THE JUNE RACES.
Local Organization Formed and Arrange.
mentS Perfected for Annual
Race Meeting.

A meeting Of the horsemen was held
in DEBORAH last week and the topic of
summer races was brought up. An
was perfected to go on and
give race meeting in the Cedar Val
lev Circuit. l.. J. Anderson was
elected President. F. w. Boyd, Secre-
tary, and E. K. Hovden, Treasurer.
A committee was selected to see the
business men and ask for a guarantee
of q small amount from each in case
the meeting met with loss caused by
bad weather or other unforeseen causes
1t is expected that the meeting will
be financial success, and that moth
i'm of this guarantee fund will be
called OIL, but business prudence re-
quires that a guarantee fund be posted
before dates will be given by the Cedar
Valley Circuit.
The meeting was very enthusiastic,
and it was the talk that DEBORAH
would have race meeting such as it
had never had before as the idea was
to raise the purses and thus secure a
much better class of horses than had
ever been seen here.
The annual meeting of the Cedar
Valley Circuit will be held at Cedar
Rapids on January 2lst, and delega-
tion from DEBORAH will be present to
ask for dates.
Prospects look very bright. and it is
hoped that the public will turn out in
sufficient numbers to Justify the keep
ing up of the association in other
years. The committee report very
gratifying success in their rounds, and
the meeting is intact assured.
