Treatment of Trees Infested BY
LOcuStS.

Many orchardists living in the
eastern part of Pennsylvania where
the Seventeen Year Cicada or So
called Locust was abundant this
year, have written to State Zoologist
H. A. Surface, asking how to treat
the trees that have been injured by
them. One large planter wrote
"The locusts are still here by the
millions. Half of our young trees
have branches badly damaged and
broken"
To this Professor Surface replied:
81 would not recommend trim
ming off all the leaves of the trees.
Trim back the injured branches, but
leave few leaves to keep the trees
growing. If the trees were freshly
set up, or still dormant, you could
cut off the tops to stubs, and they
would come out all right. Severely
pruning back at this time of year,
and fertilizing with a nitrogen fer
tiliZer, and cultivation will force
the trees to grow new shoots and
leaves, and will help to overcome
the difficulty. When these new
shoots are formed then you can
trim back or remove the old and in
jured branches, and thus get rid
of the deformity or injury caused by
the locusts. These pests will disap-
pear in your region almost suddenly
within few weeks or sooner"

SCHOOL BOARD MUST ENUMER-
ATE CHILDREN.

The following letter has been sent
to the various county, borough, city
and township superintendents of the
State by Hon. Nathan C. Schaeffer,
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
by the provisions of the School
Code school boards shall, between
April and September, of each year,
cause to be made by the attendance
officer, teachers and other persons
an enumeration of the school chill
dren between and 16 years of age.
AS part of the time allotted to this
work had elapsed when the Code
was signed and as the enumeration
was probably made by the assessors,
school boards may, if they desire to
avoid the expense of another emu
meration and are satisfied with the
enumeration already made by asses
sors, use the same enrolment in
stead of making a new one. In case
the boards desire to make an emu
meration themselves, superintend-
ents should learn from them the
number of enrolment books, they
will need, each book having blank
space for three hundred names.
They should report to this depart
ment the aggregate number of books
needed on receipt of such report
the number required will be shipped
the superintendent for distribution
to the several boards that may desire
them. 1t will be necessary to use
the books prepared and printed to
make the enumeration under the old
law; hence, the necessary changes
and erasures should be made in these
books.
VERY respectfully,

HORACE GREELEY AND A POEM.

The poem, What My Lover Said"
which has frequently been attributed
to Horace Greeley, was published in
The Review of Books for last week,
having been sent with letter from
DR.. John D. Kelly of New Haven
Conn. Our correspondent sent it as
an example of Mr.. Greeley's verse.
AS a matter of fact, the verses did
not appear with Horace Greeley's
name attached to them; the author
signed himself simply "H. g." and
Immediately many readers were con-
vinced they had come from Mr.. Gree
ley's pen.
There were many years of con-
troversy over the authorship and
many aspirants claimed it. But it
has now been clearly established that
the poem was written by Homer
Greene, of Honesdale, Pa, drafted
in the Summer of 1875, and, in the
following November, sent to The
Evening Post of New York for pub
lication. The editor who received
it reduced Mr.. Greene's name to his
initials, and it was published in that
newspaper on November 19, 1875.
One of those who claimed the poem
was Mrs. B. G. Jones of Abbeville,
Vermillion Parish, La, who said she
had sent it anonymously to The Post.
By way of reply to her, Mr.. Greene,
in a letter to The Sun of New York,
said that Ito anyone who will pro-
cure a copy of the poem printed in
any publication of an earlier date l
will cheerfully make a deed of my
Highland Cottage property at
Honesdale, which l value at $15,-
0OO."
After that Mr.. Greene retained
claim to both the verses and the
cottage.-New York Times.

NEW CHURCH IN LABRADOR

az In Old One.

Our houses here on the Labrador
coast are built almost entirely Of
wood. Our old church, which was
built in 1914, is nearly 100 years old.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that most
OF the timbers in the foundation are
decayed and that the walls have Civ
en- way in places, so that often dur
ing a gale we fear an entire collapse.
The new church will soon be COM
plete, and this autumn we shall be
glad to move into the new premises.
In more respects than one the new
church will be an improvement on
the old. In the former, the benches
we're without backs, and during the
winter nights light was derived from
candles and the space was limited.
The new church will have benches
with backs, so that the worshipers
can sit comfortably, and the lamps
a gift from friend in London-will
not only give better light, but will
also help to decorate the church 10

AN OLD WELSH COAL MINE.

The Welsh coal industry, which ia
now disorganized by labor troubles,
is less than a century old. Until
1929 the small amount of coal mined
in Wales was consumed locally. Then
the passing of the London smoke act
created a demand for smokeless fuel.
Two members OF the Coal exchange
journeyed to Wales and interviewed
Mrs. Lucy Thomas, the owner of the
Merthyr colliery, the largest then
worked. They found her sitting in a
hut at the mouth of the pit with a
basket ON her head, in which she
placed the money as she received it
from the purchasers of coal. After
some difficulty and the production
Of the purchase money in gold they
persuaded her to sell them a eloop
load at four shillings ton This
was conveyed to Cardiff on the hacks
IF mules, and when shipped to Lon
Ion sold readily at 10 shillines a
ton.-Pall Mall Gazette.
