A rush at the marriage license

August Koepke and Blanche I. Par
ker, Topeka; Joseph A. Wellke and A.

Persons who in the enthusiasm of
spring got busy and girdled their trees
with tang1e-foot to protect them
against canker worms may discover
more harm than good was done. The
harm is resulting from their failure
to remove the girdles. Cotton was
placed next to the trees and the tan
gle-foot paper wrapped around this.
This cotton makes fine nesting place
for insects 1t holds moisture which
softens the bark, making conditions
excellent for insects to do damage.
The tangle-foot has done all the good
it will do this season. The girdles
should be removed.
