PECULIAR WORM KILLS CORN
WITH RAPlDfTY.

MOBILE, ALA, June 18.-For some
time the farmers in Mobile and adjoin
ing counties have been suffering from
the ravages of some kind of worm
which has been destroying their corn.
fields with great rapidity. Many have
sustained very heavy losses from the
pest and every effort has been made
to eradicate it, but apparently without
avail.
Mr.. E. A. Smith arrived in the city
this morning from Theodore and gave
the following solution as guaranteed
eradicator of the pests and which, he
says, is being used with remarkable
success by the farmers in his section
Take five-cent package of Gold Dust
Washing Power to four gallons of wa
ter or twelve packages to barrel OF
water, thoroughly mix and then spray
the cornstalks literally.
Mr.. Smith stated that the solution
will not injure the stalks or impair
the taste Of the corn and is harmless
and is a certain killer for the pests.
The remedy was accidentally discover
ed by a farmer at Moss Point, Miss,
said Mr.. Smith, and the knowledge
has been sent broadcast to the victims
of the worm in the Mississippi coast
counties and in the lower end Of Mo-
bile country.

FROM suPT. HARRIS.

Baton Rouge, La, June Is, 1913.
Superintendent and Parish School
Board Members.
Gentlemen:
wish to urge your very careful con-
sideration of the following question:
There is a great loss of money and
energy on account of irregular attend
ance in the country schools. During
the fall months many children drop
out of the schools, or do not enter, be-
cause they are needed to assist in har-
yesting the crops; and in the spring
thousands are taken out of the schools
to assist in planting and cultivating the
crops. The greatest loss is in the
spring. Then the boys are needed to
pillow, plant, and perform the other du-
ties connected with farming. | fire.
quently go into a country school in
April or May and find fewer than half
of the children in school, The teach
ers tell me that the pupils have STOP
ped to work on the farm. This condi-
ton breaks up all classification and
results in maintaining an expensive in
stitution for the benefit of few chill
dren.
| do not believe that the farmers
should be urged to manage their farm
work in such way that their children
can be permitted to attend school with
out Interruptions for a session of nine
months. The boys should be required
to assist in making and harvesting
the crops. If this work is done under
intelligent direction the good results
will be as great as those obtained from
attendance at school. The two insti-
tutions, the farm and the school, should
arrange their programs so as to in
terfere the one with the other as little
as possible. The ideal plan would be
to keep the school open all the year,
dividing the session into three or four
terms with complete units of work in
each term. The child could then select
the two or three terms that would in
terfere the least with his home duties.
The lack of ample means makes this
plan impracticable for the most of the
parishes.
After studying this question for a
number of years, have arrived at the
conviction that schol patronized by
farmers should not be kept open, for
session of more than six or seven
months. As the boys are needed most
in the spring, should think proper
session for. the country schools would
be from August LIST to March 1st |
believe that schools so operated would
be more effective, if all the children
could be in school regularly, than
schools having sessions of nine months
but cursed with ragged attendance.
Such a plan, of course, Immediately
brings up the objection that compe-
tent teachers will not accept positions
of six of seven months The Board
could wisely meet this objection by
paying the teacher a larger salary, or
by allowing the teacher an extra
months salary.
When state that only about one-half
of the country children enrolled in the
schools really attend, and that this
means waste of more than a million
dollars in salaries paid teachers, | am
sure that no further argument is nee
essary to convince you that this ques-
ton deserves your best thought.
Yours sincerely,
T. H. HARRIS.

NIGHT SIGNAL TIME SERVICE.
Naval 0bservatory's Plan Insures
Far-Reaching Radius.

The Naval Observatory time service
which provides the country east of the
Rocky mountains with standard time by
means of a signal at noon each day. ex-
cept Sundays and holidays, is to be ex-
tended to include every day of the year,
and in addition second signal will be
made every night at 10 o'clock, seventy
nth meridian time. The night signal is
especially intended to be automatically
repeated by the naval radio station at
Arlington.
The principal naval radio stations have
been repeating the regular noon signals
sent out by the Naval Observatory for
some years, but the night signal is de-
signed to have a very great radius,
reaching remote parts of the Atlantic
ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Carib-
bean sea, as well as far inland. BY this
means the radio time service, already SO
useful to ships at sea, will reach more
ships every night and jewellers and
clockmakers in the interior will be ena-
inexpensive radio receivers.
How far this interior service will reach
is difficult to say. as the range over land
is not so great az over water. The Naval
Observatory has received information
that a jeweler in Kansas City has al
ready been receiving time signals from a
station on the Atlantic coast, so that ii
may be possible for the powerful Airing
ton station to assist the jewellers much
farther west by giving them Naval OBJ
servatory time.
The first 10 O'Clock signal was sent last
night.
