the State Department of Fisheries and
it is likely that they will be started
within a few days. Sixty days is the
limit given to establish filters as re-
quired by law to prevent pollution of
streams.
In the Pine creek and other regions
along tributaries of the west branch
OF the Susquehanna there have been
numerous reports of pollution by
manufacturing plants, including some
tanneries and explosive plants, and the
owners have not carried out instruc-
tions from the department. There
have been twenty such cases certified
to the Attorney General for action, but
in instances of serious pollution he has
authorized the department to go ahead
and prosecute.

LIME PAYS WELL
SAYS AN EXPERT
People Should Use Care in
Putting Lime on Soil Not
Well Drained

"In Northwestern Pennsylvania.
many farmers are using lime on the
soil, some of them paying high prices
for the lime" says ]. T. Campbell,
soil and farm crop expert of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who has re-
turned from an extensive tour of the
State.
Occasionally I meet man who
says lime has made no improvement
in his crops. l have several times
observed the same condition on farms
that l am well acquainted with. There
is a reason for this. One reason is
applied tC soil that is primarily IN
need of drainage and which cannot be
profitably farmed till drained, is large
ly a waste of money and effort. If
the land were thoroughly tile drained,
and then the lime applied, the returns
for the lime would be the very best.
Again l meet farmers who are
using lime in an effort to overcome the
effects of poor farming and of destruc-
tive methods of handling the soil My
experience is that the use of lime
must be accompanied by better meth
DDS in order to be profitably used"

CLOVER WEEVIL
MAKING TROUBLE
Latest Pest TO Be Heard From
Causes Some Anxiety
Among Farmers

The State Department of Agricul-
ture has received several inquiries re-
Gently from farmers in the eastern
counties about a worm working upon
the clover. The specimens submit
ted with these letters show that the
damage is being done by the larvae
of the Glover LeafweeVil.
AS yet there is no successful meth
cd of controlling this pest, but the
following methods will ALLEVIATE the
trouble to some extent
Lightly pasturing the clover will
dispose of many of the insects for
they will either be eaten by the stock
or be killed by tramping. Lightly
clipping the clover with the NOW
ing machine will also help, but it has
the disadvantage that it is possible for
the worms to live sometime or until
new growth has started by feeding
upon the clippings that have fallen to
the gorund. Turning under red
clover, after the second season also
materially reduces the pest
There is seldom a bad attack two
years in succession because of a fun
gus disease which attacks the insect.
If it were not for this disease our
clover fields would undoubtedly be
ruined each year by the insect.

bachelor dinner on the eve of his mar
riage to Dorothy Hardin. The thieves
decide that he would make an excellent

like rich haul to the gang, and Joyce
is sent with two others to rob his own

a doctor is Immediately summoned for
Joyce: He declares that very minor
operation will completely restore

TO BOOST PRICE
DEALERS BUY FOR CASH AND
LEAVE PRODUCE TO ROT
IN THE GROUND

tBy Associated l'ress.D
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.--Definite infor-
nation to support rumors that pro-
duce dealers we're permitting fruits
and vegetables to rot in the field in
order to cause shortage and in
crease prices, has come to officials
investigating the causes of the pres
ent high price of food
B. L. Brundage, a farmer of Gary,
Ind, reported that he had sold his
crop of seven acres Of pumpkins for
cash. When the crop ripened and
the pumpkins were allowed to rot in
the field, he tried to find the buyer
and learned that the name and adj
dress he had given were fictitious.
That similar conditions prevail else
where and that spectators are buy
ing potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage,
pumpkins, apples and other fruits and
vegetables and allowing them to rot
unpieked have been rumored from
time to time.
Complaint also was received that
combination to raise the price of
beans exists and that large quantities
of them. both in bulk and in can. are
being held in Norfolk Va, Philadel-
phia and Saginaw. Mich. The storing
of these beans, according to the re
port to the federal bureau, has in.
creased the cost of canned beans sc
per cent and dry beans 40 per cent
in the last six months.
An agent was sent to Peoria, ILL.,
to investigate report that 2S car
loads of potatoes had been dumped
into the river there. If it developed
that the potatoes had been con
demned by health authorities. the
agent was instructed to learn how
long they had been held in cars.

HE moved his squadron nearer the

demanded that special commission,
