SOUTH DAKOTA GUARDS
DISLIKE PRACTICE OF
PICNiCS ON GROUNDS
Visitors Have Habit of Litter.
ing Camp-F1ies Are At
tracted.

Aberdeen, S. D., July IA vail of
sorrow and Indignation comes from the"
officers of the South Dakota national
guard at Camp Hagman. Redfield. 1t,
is based upon two causes. One is the
habit some persons who visit the mill.
tary camp have, of considering the
camp grounds a picnic ground, and
proceeding to dump watermelon r1nds.
banana Feelings. pieces of butteredl
bread, cake, and other remnants of a
picnic feast about the grounds. The
officers say it is a difficult enough
task at any time to keep a camp ground
where there are 1000 men in a SAM
tary condition, and that the debris left
by the picnickers attracts flies, and
flies disease and disease death.
So they urge visitors to the camp, II
they must take a lunch along, to re-
frain from dumping the 'leavings" on
the camp ground or neal there, for the
sake of the health of the soldier boys,
and to save them as well from the task
of acting as ~scavengers for the pic
nickers.
Another thing the officers object
to, is the habit of fond relatives and
friends feeding the soldiers with cake,
pie and other rich food Plain, subj
stantial food is acceptable, but gifts of
pastry. candy, ETC., is discouraged. 1t,
isn't good for the health Of the men.

inches wide, one inch thick and one foot longer than the width of the row. The poison should be placed in the bags through an augur hole bored in the pole.
 By weighing the pole and sacks be- fore and after treating an acre, the farmer may determine how much poi son he is using and thus avoid using too much or too little.
 Arsenate of lead is a poison, but the poison will be gone from the cot ton after two heavy rains or three weeks after it is applied, even if there is no rain. It will aggravate sores on man or an animal. It is a good idea to throw two or three bucketfuls of water on mule after it has been used for this work.
 Some damage results from the cot ton worm early every seasons. In seasons of heavy rainfall in midsum- mer, the damage usually is quite heavy Sometimes the plant is stripped of good-sized bol1s.
 In sections that are heavily infest- ed with boil weevils, the cotton worm may act as a check on the weevil. If the worm destroys the larger portion of the leaves and the squares, the sunlight is let in on the weevil, which cannot stand heat and light and it soon dies.

Farmers should be on the lookout for the worm at this time. It usually appears first in low, moist areas In cotton fields Such places should be watched so that the ravages of the worm may be checked before It spreads through the entire field.
 If the farmer starts using arsenare of lead before the worm gets too great start, it is not difficult to con trol the pest. Arsenate of lead is better than paris green, which is like 1y to damage the cotton foliage and which will not stick to the plant with out the addition of flour or some simf- lar material.
 Usually, two or three pounds or ar senate to the acre is sufficient, al though this depends on the size of the plants. It should be applied from sacks attached to the enos of pole that is carried through the field on horseback. With this method, an or dinary farm hand can poison two rows at time and cover 20 acres a day.
 The sacks should be made of eight ounce duck or some similar material. They should be about 6x20 inches and one of the long sides should be left open. The open edges then should be pole. This pole should be three
