Special Exhibit at the
County Fair.


The loss of crops in the United
States due to the ravages of in
sects runs into millions of dollars
annually. Many of these pests
can be economically controlled by
the farmers, while others are APP
parently beyond control. A stri-
king example of the former is the
San Jose Scale. which has de-
stroyed thousands OF acres of or
chards in Ohio alone. This pest
is controlled by spray ing with a
lime-sulfur preparation. Th e
White Grub, which is so very de-
structive to the corn crop in Ohio
is a splendid example of the lat
ter class. Rotation of crops and
winter plowing may reduce the
number of these insects, but will
not control them.
1t is very important to know
the life history of an insect be-
fore remedial measures can be
successfully applied. The life
history of many insects will be
shown at the county fair in con-
nection with the exhibit from the
Ohio Experiment Station. Ask
for a spray calendar.
Fungus diseases also contribute
quite largely to the annual loss
of crops in Ohio. Many of the
most destructive species are read
lily controlled by various treat
ments, according to the disease.
Bulletin 214 of the Ohio Expert
ment Station gives a list of the
most common ones and the best
methods of dealing with them.
Those common plants known
as weeds" are found on every
farm. A weed has been described
as "A plant out of place" Many
of our most destructive weeds are
introduced from other states and
countries. Bulletin It's of the
Ohio Experiment Station will
serve as a guide with which to
identify weeds. Many mounted
specimens may be seen in the ex
hiblt of the Experiment Station
at the Darke County Fair. At
tendants in charge will try to
Identify any specimens brough

urday.

urudy.
Over 600 educated wild and
domestic animals are used in CIV
ing the performance of the Barnes
| Circus-the greatest collection of
trained animals ever assembled
under one management. The
Barnes Circus was the original
wild animal show and now holds
the rank of being the largest ag-
gregation of the character in the
world.
Sixtyfive sensational, amusing,
amazing, thrilling acts are pre-
sented at each performance.
These acts are given in two div
isions, the wild animals act in a
large steel-barred arena in the
center of the big tent and those
of the domestic animals in the
regulation sawdust rings at eth
er side of the arena.
The members of the Barnes
animal-acting troupe have been
recruited from jungles. plain,
desert, forest, ocean and home
stead. Lions, tigers, elephants,
Ieopards, jaguars, zebras, hyen-
as, camels, zubus. monkeys. apes.
ouran-outangs, dogs, horses, pom
lies, goats, seals and sea lions are
members of the troupe, every one
trained to perform, in fact every
animal carried with this big show
is an actor.
One of the greatest features o1
the show is the troupe of beauti
full horses ponies-55Oin num-
ber, which for size, beauty anC
breeding are unrivalled in th'
entire world.
3 The most thrilling wild anima
e spectacle known is Herr Roth
e group of man eating Africa1
j lions-24 in number, which h
presents in one act. Mile. Flol
inc, with a group of Persian leC
pards and jaguars, and Miss M
