Watch For Army Worm.

An unusual abundance of the
moth of the true army worm in Mary
land, Virginia, and the District of
Columbia indicates the possibility of
an impending outbreak of this de-
structive pest in the Atlantic States.
The moths, the entomologists of the
department report. were laying their
eggs during the first week of July,
and as it takes from three to four
weeks for the caterpillars to mature,
their presence should begin to be
quite apparent about the last week
in July to the first week of August.
Farmers should be on the alert to
discover this pest in its younger
stages, before it has reached large
size and has committed irreparble
damage to growing crops especially
grasses and grains.
When the army worm is discover
ed at work the infested spots should
be sprayed Immediately with solu-
ton of powdered arsenate of lead,
pounds to SO gallons of water. II
Paris green be used the spray should
be composed as follows: Paris green,
pound; freshly Stacked lime. 2
pounds; water, SO gallons. The
lime is necessary as preventative
of burning by the Paris green, which
is quite caustic when used on tender
plants such as corn.
When spraying is impracticable
| the poisoned bran bait is recommend.
ed. 1t is made as follows: Wheat
bran, SO pounds; Paris green, l
pound; or white arsenic or powdered
| arsenate of lead, q pounds; low
grade molasses, 8 to quarts.
The bran and poison should bt
Thoroughly mixed while dry and the
molasses afterwards added, kneadins
and stirring the mass until it is
easily broken into small bits. The
addition of six finely chopped lemons
has been found to add value to the
bait in some cases. The poisoned
bait should be scattered broadcast
| where the worms are at work or IL
their path or among them while they
are on the march.
When the army worms are moving
| together in mass they may be
halted and destroyed by plowing out
or digging narrow ditch with steer
sides directly across their path. The
worms fall into this ditch in large
numbers and may then be crushed
readily by dragging log or chunk
of wood back and forth through the
ditch.

Remedies For Ivy Poisoning.

Direct contract with the poison
ivy plant is not always necessary to
produce poisoning, as the poison may
be transferred from clothing, gloves,
and implements, also from towels
used by those who have been in con-
tact with the plant. When there
is reason to believe that there has
been exposure to the poison, repeated
washing with warm water and
strong alkaline soap as soon as
possible is advisable.
There is no one remedy that will
cure all cases of ivy poisoning, and
in severe cases "a physician should
be consulted Specialists of the de-
partment have found the following
methods and formulas useful in
many cases: At the outset, re-
moval of the cause of the irritation
may be accomplished by cleansing
| the infiamed surface repeatedly with
alcohol, or with saturated solution
fresh bit of lint or absorbent cotton
each time, to avoid spreading the
I.irritant. The sugar of lead solu-
tion can not be used over extensive
areas because of risk of lead poison
ing. Covering the inf1amed parts
with lint or absorbant cotton kept
constantly moist with limewater or
with a saturated solution of bicorbon-
ate. of soda will afford relief. When
this can not be used, simple oint-
ment, such as zinc oxide, ointment,
is recommended: A solution con-
tanning ounce of fluid extract Of
grindelia to 1 pint of water applied
on cloths nd llowed to evaporate
may afford relief. Black wash, pre-
pared by adding / dram of calomel
to pint of limewater, may be ap-
piled two or three times day. allow
ed to dry, and followed by zinc-oxide
used with caution in extensive cases
because of the possibility of mercury
poisoning. The acute Inflammation
of ivy poisoning is sometimes fol-
lowed by eczema and secondary in
fections of the skin, which, in mild
cases, will yield readily to treatment
with bland antiseptic ointments. A
formula highly recommended for ivy
poisoning and often especially help
full at this stage is the following:
Carbolic acid d............ 2 grams
Resorcin. ...... 2 grams
Bismuth subgallate. ..... grams
Equal parts water and limewater to
make. =. ESQ c. c.
This solution may be dabbed on
the affected parts several times a
day.

Move to Save Paper.

After several conferences, called to
7 consider the srious situation result
ing from what are practically famine
conditions in the news print paper
market, the newspaper publishers OF
Philadelphia have reached an agree
ment looking to material reduction
in the size of the papers. The points
Of the agreemnt are as follows:
All daily, evening and Sunday
newspapers will Immediately reduce
the size of their issues to the extent
of a total not in excess of 80 pages
weekly.
That beginning September l next,
the accepting from wholesale pur-
chases of unsold copies Of all morn
ing, evening and Sunday newspapers
will be discontinued. Heretofore
this privilege has been granted to
newsboys, news agents. newstands
and carriers.
AT. the conference facts and figures
were submitted showing that the
mills have been unable to supply the
enormous increased demand for
white paper. Not only have the mills
been unable to lay in reserve stock
during the summer months, as in
former years, but they are at the
present time below their normal
supply. So serious has the situation
become that it was pointed out that
unless drastic reduction of consump-
ion was enforced, some newspapers
throughout the country would be
confronted with possible suspension
of publication. Many prominent
dailies throughout the State OF
Pennsylvania have notified the Phila-
delphia publishers that they will fol-
low their lead in reduction in size OF
output and in cutting off returns OF
unsold copies.

Federal Board Finds Gasoline Was
Cornered.

4 =
Facts showing the existence of a
virtual corner in gasoline, in which
sympathetic interests controlled
nearly three. fourths of the coun-
try's supply of crude oil in rein
cries and in storage at the time OF
the rapid advance last fall in the
price of gasoline, will be laid be-
fore the Federal Trade Commission
this week for that body's con
clusions and a report on the cause
of the high price Of the product.
The report Of the Board o1
Economists of the Commission, as
it goes to the members, will indi.
cate that there existed during the
latter part of 1916 an abnormal
increase in holdings of crude
petroleum stocks by certain allied
producers and pipe line companies
which companies set market and
,tank wagon prices, almost without
exception, in the territories II
which they operate.
Further evidence gathered by
the Investigators shows that com.
panies in this group had separate
working territories, not overlap
ping and fairly defined by giver
State lines, rather than by natua
bounds of commerce, in which alb
normal inequalities of retail price
Of gasoline prevailed at the same
time.
The fact that the quotations OF
posted prices of this group, especi
ally in the mid, continental and
Appalachian selling fields, were
accepted as the market quotations
and that the prices set for its tank
wagon distribution was the stand
ard price of gasoline in practically
every operating territory, is partly
explained by the fact that the
operating company of this grouI
in any given field was not com
peted with by other members ol
the group. BY this means grouI
of majority holders could stiff
competition by independents and
set the price in their own field.

A contemporal says there is a
farmer up the country who always
pays for his paper two years IN ad-
vance. He has never had a sick day
in his life, never had any corns or
tooth ache; his potatoes never rot,
the weevil never eats his wheat, the
frost never kills his corn or beans,
he never has to walk the floor with
babies at night, his automobile never
balks and his wife never scolds or
snores in her sleep.
Next to being careless, the most
prolific source of accidents is being
a fool. The trouble is. every fool
thinks the other fool is the one to
get killed.
