CAMP A|GN TO KILL
INSECT PESTS
AND WORMS
State Agent H. L. Bailey Is In
Town
TREE OWNERS SHOULD ACT
Elm Leaf Beetles and Tent Cater
pillars Are Here by the
Million.

H. l.. Bailey, special agent of the
Vermont commission of agriculture,
is in town to urge the people of Ben
nington to take up the fight against
the elm leaf beetle, the tent caterpil-
lar, and other insects, which are des-
troying the fruit and shade trees.
Coming into town from North
Adams Monday afternoon Mr.. Bailey
states that he saw more nests of the
tent caterpillar than in any other
part of the state he has visited.
From evidence at hand, too, he also
thinks the elm leaf beetle is doing
more damage here than in any other
section of Vermont.
These insects can be controlled by
spraying with arsenate of lead, but
the work should be close, promptly
and thoroughly before 1t is too late.
Mr.. Bailey has prepared the following
information and recommendations
Every person in Bennington ana
surrounding towns should now be on
the lookout for the elm leaf beetle,
and destroy it wherever found Each
insect killed now means 100 less in
another year, and perhaps a tree saw
ed
The beetles are now in the adult
or flying" stage; about a quarter of
an niche long, yellowish brown with
three brownish-back stripes on the
wings. The stripes are more or less
| indistinct
"They have spent the winter in
crevices in the bark. cracks in poles,
fences, etc, or behind blinds, shutters
and window sashes of houses. 1t is
now time for them to come ont and
feed on the elm foliage.
Elm trees should be sprayed with
! arsenual poison. If arsenate of lead
is used. about pounds to hundred
gallons of water is the proper solu-
ton.
by the last of the month the bee
ties will lay their eggs on the leaves.
In week or ten days the eggs will
hatch. The larvae. or grubs. which
appear are at first nearly black, but
soon grow yellowish in color, leaving
dark stripe along the back.
The grubs eat from the under side
of the leaf, leaving the frame ant
gauzy film of the outer side. A badly
infested tree has reddish appear
ance as result OF the grubs' work.
"a second spraying should be made
about the first of July for these lar
yaes, taking care to get the poison on
the under side of the leaf.
when about three weeks old the
grubs are full grown and either drop
or crawl down to the ground to pu-
pate. The pupae, into which the
grubs transform in changing to bee
ties are of an orange color Many
times they gather themselves togeth-
er in clusters on the ground at the
base of tree and can be killed in
large quantities. This period is usu-
ally about the middle of July but var
les with climatic conditions.
There is sometimes a partial sec
ond generation OF the insect in this
section. 1t attacks no foliage other
than clm."

REMOVED NUTS FROM HUBS
Dastardiy Trick Perpetrated-Misht
Have Caused Injury to Children.

Townshend VT, May IA das-
tardly trick was pepetrated in the
north part of the town the first of
last week. Someone entered the car
rage shed of William McClenning
and removed the nuts from the
hubs, the kingbolt from the axle and
nuts from the springs of the car
riage which he uses in transport
ing the scholars from district No. 8.
When it is remembered that Mrs.
McCleanning usually drives the team
and that there are a number of very
small children in the company, it
will be seen how serious the Of
tense was. Mrs. Clenning had not
gone far when one wheel dropped
off. Fortunately she was driving
slowly at the time, and had her
horses under control. so no one was
hurt. An investigation revealed the
other mischief done to the wagon.
Other things of such serious nature
have been done in that locality of
late that the authorities are deter
mined to leave no stone unturned to
put a stop to il.

A COMING CONFERENCE
Gathering at ST. Johnsbury for Three
DAYS

There can be no question of the up.
to-dateness of the program of papers
and discussions at the gathering of
Congregationalists in their State Con
ference next week in Saint Johnsbury
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Is any subject more vital and timely
than that of "The Church and the
Social Unrest" in view of the tremen-
dous agitations industrially, socially,
and politically in these days? Rev.
A. II. Bradford. who will treat this
topic, has given unusual investiga-
ton to it.
There is very strong element in
the Congregational church DESTROYS
of more centralized form of govern.
ment and there are those who believe
equally in the freedom and elasticity
of the present policy.
Inasmuch as the National Council
holds its triennial meeting this au.
tumn the presentation of the New
Congregationalists" by Rev. r. c.
Flagg. ID. d.. and the subsequent dis.
cussion will be of the greatest inter.
est and value. The relationship OF
the church and the business world
will be treated by Rev. c. F. Carter.
ID. d., Of Hartford, Conn. who will
speak on The Expanding Consci-
ence."
A new and probably most helpful
feature of these meetings will be "A
Clearing House Of Church Methods
and Work" when such topics as "A
Church Night" Church Finance,
Church Advertising, Modern Evan.
gelish,' County Work" and others
many factors. new and old, in church
life and work will be given free dis
cussion- No Congregational church
that desires to keep in touch with the
state fellowship and with modern rel
gious work can AFFORD TO miss this

There is saying that rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too rapid
ly you are most likely suffering from
Indigestion or constipation, which
will result eventually in serious i'll
ness unless corrected. Digestion be-
gins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masti0ated and insalivat-
ed. Then when you have fullness
OF the stomach or feel dull and stup-
Id after eating, take one of Chamber
lain's Tablets. Many severe cases Of
stomach trouble and constipation
have been cured by the use of these
tablets. they are easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. Sold by
Colpin Drug Co.
