NON POLITICAL FOURTH

Let us have a grand Fourth of July celebra-
tion, such Redwood City has had in past
years, and such as its people are determined
to hold this year. Let there be no dissension
to mar the harmony of the proposed event.
Let it be free from politics in its every fea-
ture, with no suspicion of attempt to fur
ther the aspirations of any office holder or
candidate for office The Fourth Of July Is
Libertys day-the whole peoples day-and any
effort to turn it into a field day for voters

STANFORD LOYALTY

The generosity and loyalty of the Stanford
student body were again proved recently when
practically every student who approached
donated toward the eastern track fund. In

is still existent within the student body, and
that the who represent Stanford at
Champlain in June realize that the student
body is with them in their efforts.-Daily Palo

Consequently letters were sent among the
farmers, asking for boxes of sound bugs.
THESE bugs were to be given the disease and
returned with directions for spreading it. The
response was surprisingly immediate. Boxes
OF bugs poured into the express Offices and
yet more boxes of bugs. Farmers from neigh
boring states heard of the offer and they, too
went bug hunting. The express companies
worked overtime The assistants in the ento-
molog1sts office became mere undertakers for
bugdom The mouldy bugs were sent out on
their benefcent mission of destruction. Then
the results came in. They varied: they did,
indeed Some thought the entire entomolo
gist's office should be fitted out with golden
glorious halo as the rescuer of it's country;
others alas! thought FOOLS cap would fit the
case more exactly.
But although the disease project could not
be called a complete success, means were
found which make it possible to raise grain
even in the very worst of the chinch out
breaks. The barrier methods and sprays with
kerosene emulsion will catch them every
time. Just after harvest the scarcity of food
In the wheat fields arouses in the chinch an
instinct to migrate. On foot 1t sets out to get
an appetite for corn This is the time to make
ridge beween the infested field and the field
the chinch desires to infest. This is done by
blowing backward furrow which is packed
with a light roller or by hand and has line
Of tar poured upon it from can with a
tubular spout. Post holes are dug at intervals
of about twenty feet. By keeping the tar
line fresh his chinchship cannot cross but will
follow it to the posthole, into which he speed
lily tumbles. 1t then is merely pleasant recre-
alton for the farmer to travel out and pour
weak solution of kerosene upon his accu
mulated enemies. Kerosene is an excellent
death dealer for these pests When they get
into the cornfelds the farmers of Illinois sally
forth with an emulsion containing four per
cent. Of kerosene and half as much whale oil
soap mixed by five minutes simple beating
with a stick. This is firted by hand upon the
corn in the cool of the day when the insects
feed most thoroughly and when there is less
danger of injury to the corn. Sometimes
single application does the work; when the
infestation is very bad two and even three
may be required
Now let us talk about corn exclusively for
a while. With that staple at its present price
and with the grave gentlemen who produce
statistics hens produce eggs-the louder
the cackling, the smaller the statistic-assur
ing us that it is on its lofty perch to stay, 1t
seems that the farmer will have to cultivate
automobiles and bad habits as obesity cures

Dr. Forbes it is now known that one is help
less without the other. The resourceful and
Industrious ant is entirely unable to extract
the coveted sap from the corn root, and the
stupid aphis would, If left to itself, starve In
the very presence Of the corn. But the ant
can carry the aphis to the corn root and de-
post it thereupon; the aphis can extract the
sap and then exude 1t, thus passing 1t on to
the ant. Therefore it was not a problem of
exterminat ing two foes but Of outwitting the
clever little ant. Were 1t banished, the aphis
would soon disappear The wretched little

for itself except lay eggs and suck corn sap.
The ant gives it home in it's own burrows,
matches it's eggs for it, carrying them to the
warm surface If they are slow, bearing them
farther into the ground If they threaten to
hatch before it's food supply is ready And
this protection extends through the aphis' life.
If, because Of blowing or other inadvertence,
the ant finds its charges scattered, it will

with a 20-inch disk in spring, especially on
sunny day when the ants are likely to have
their charges near the surface, they will be
killed and scattered and their nests so broken
up that even the enthusiastic little ant cannot
reconstruct the colony.
Another enemy of the corn that DR.. Forbes
has caught by cultivation is the bill bug as
certain beetles are called because of their
long, hard shouts, which they poke into the
farmers business to ruin it. This time the
