Controlling the Chinch Bug.
BY L. Haseman.


The past winter and spring
have been favorable for the
chinch bug and it is now at work
in wheat oats, rye and other
crops in great numbers and we
may expect even greater dam
age in some sections than Oc-
CURED last summer The habits
Of the chinch bug are well known
and economic methods of con-
troll are within the reach of ev-
cry farmer We know right
now every move the pest will
make during the summer, and if
$ proper methods Of control are
followed, it can be so completely
stamped out that next year it
will be difficult to find a single
chinch bug. Are we willing to

Cooperation is the key note to
success in the control of this

Controlling the Hessian Fly.

OO-N N4AhS OAAS AASSSAA "
The Hessian fly is again at
tracing the the attention of
wheat growers, especially in the
northwestern part OF the state
where in some sections a large
majority of the fields are badly
infested. The pest began it's
work last fall ON the young
wheat and passed the winter in
the base of the wheat plants in
the brown flaxseed stage. With
the first warm days of spring
the small mosquto-like flies es-
capped from these winter cases
and laid eggs for the first spring
brood of maggots. These mag
gots are now nearly mature at
the base of the plants. Badly
infested wheat is turning yellow
and falling. Between now and
wheat cutting time a second
swarm of flies will appear to lay
eggs for another brood of mag.

AMERICAN GOLFERS ABROAD.

The defeat of young Francis Ouimet,
the United States open golf champion,
and by comparatively unknown Eng.
lish player, for the British amateur
championship furnishes evidence anew
that the former is still off his game,
as he has been practically ever since
winning the coveted American title last
summer by defeating some of Great Brit
aims best known golfers. His defeat,
therefore, is not so much of surprise,
although many people are disappointed
with his showing, especially since he is
inexperienced in golfng across the wa
ter and has not received the schooling
in big competition that is needed to
steady a players game. On familiar
course and amid we'll known surround
ings young Ouimet proved himself to be
wonderful player. The next process
in his training will be for him to acquire
that mental attitude which will permit
him to pick up his game within reason.

Ouimet through winning the United

CLEANING Up IN BARRE.

The cleanup campaign seems to be
gathering momentum in Barre as it de-
serves to. As yet the spirit of it is
fostered largely by those people who
have been engaged in the temporary or
ganization of the association, but their
enthusiasm for good work is being
communicated to the people of the com
munity in an unmistakable manner. The
people want clean city, only they have
not really known how to go about it
they have lacked guiding hand in the
shape of an organization whose sole pur-
pose is the identifying of the city. Now
that the guidance has been assured,
the people are prepared to fall into line
and Join their efforts towards a sue
cessful elimination of very advanta-
geous plan.
Moreover, this present movement
should not be merely temporary-one
grand cleanup and followed by re-
lapse into old habits of carelessness and
untidiness. What the movement ought
to foster is the spirit which will cause
all the people of Barre to be on the
watch all the year around to see that
no act of theirs or their neighbors and
friends viii mar the beauty and hinder
the healthfulness of the city. Such a

lesque Company.

The average theatre patron has
troubles enough of his own, and does not
relish the idea of paying out good money
to see those Of Others enacted on the
stage. That indisputable fact explains
the marvellous success this season of the
London Gaiety Girls Big Burlesque com
pany, which will make its first appear
anee at the opera house on Saturday,
May %. The management of the Lon
don Gaiety Girls big show has arranged
a double bill of musical farce, consist
ing of Looking for Wife" and Cafe
Bergere," each veritable scream. There
is snap and ginger in the action, and the
fifteen musical numbers are deliberately
staged, series of vaudeville specialties
also being introduced. Dave Meyers, the
funny fellow who stands at the head of
Yiddish comedians now on the stage, is
assisted by others equally prominent
behind the footlghts, and the classiest
aggregation OF show girls that will be
seen in Barre.
