Once more assertion is made that Bible is the worlds best seller" In an age of thoughtless fiction and exploiting publishers, such announcement is distincly gratifying. From every view point the Bible is the book of books. To the seeker of truth it is a storehouse of inxhaustible treasure. To the literary purist it is stylistic delight. To the poet it is a garden of lyric flow CTS. To the philosopher it is a moving tale of wonder. To the sorrowing it is a balm of solace. To the disconsolate it is a beacon

WEEKLY LETTER OF JOHN H. PAGE, COMMISSIONER MINES, MANUFACTURES, AGRICULTURE

NUFNOf FS ottLSI HSfhSS@s ~'~
 I have reports this week from farmers asking for information on how to control the Army worm and the Boil worm. To date the reports have all come from the river sections. The Army worm is a blue-greenish worm5 with black spots and stripes on his back. When nov ing he bows" up in the center. The damage done is most severe in the summer, but he is present nearly all the summer. There are several generations each year. That is why it is necessary to kill out the early generations now.
 The Army worm is controlled with a Paris Green spray. Asenate of Lead powder may al- so be used. Mix about one poundiof Paris Green with one pound of low grade flour; this should spray one acre. Two rows can be dusted at one trip a. cross the field by balancing two sacks across mules back.
 Thef Cotton Boil Worm is somewhat darker than the Army Wtrm and common garden pest. This is the same worm that attacks the ends of the ears of the corn as well as the bolls of cotton. The same remedy for the Army Worm.now. How ever, remember that you can destroy them if you will blow deep this fall.
 The control of thest pests is serious problem to some of us now and we should by all means break the land in the fall, not only for the worms but other pests and the other many good results that come from fall blow ing and growing winter cover crops. 1 only mention the fall blowing because of its.. ..close con- nection to the control of cLop pests. It is our best remedy and in addition is the best method for preparation. l have a buile- tin on the cotton boil worm which will be glad to send you.
 If it rains it will be necessary to apply again the above teme- dies. and remember that both Paris Green and Arsenate of Lead are deadly psisons. If the wind is blowing tie handker- chief across your mouth. Do not swallow the dust particles when you clear your throat and wash off the animals that have been c4rr\ ing the sacks. Do not al- low stock to eat where poison hss been applied.
 The Army Worm may also be destroyed with asmiXture of one pound of Paris Green. 50 pounds of wheat brln, the juice from t rec o. four oranges, and make a dough of the mixture with cheap black molasses. Scatter this about in the field infested with the worm.
 And this fall make your prep arations for a great deal of fall blowing. It doesn't m l whether you have crop pests to control or not, we have no means of knowing whether they will reach our farm. The greatest benefits will result in having a winter cover crop, and in having A good seed bed next year and
