HUMANS SWELTER
AS CROPS FLOURISH

"A temperature ranging from 90 to
100 in the shade was common in Me-
dina this week, some thermometers
registering above the 100 mark.
What the temperature was in the
open sun is matter of doubt, as re-
ports were made as high as 112. v
Mopping his brow with handker-
chief Monday afternoon as he return
from a country call, a local physician
remarked: Eyes, this is hard time
for sick people, but at the present
time Medina happily is free from a
great amount Of sickness, old people
and babies being the greatest suffer
ers. But as long ais one perspires
freely he is all right"
The hot wave is welcomed by farm
,ers, however, as it is making the
crops grow by leaps and bounds. Corn
has done practically all its growing in
the last two weeks. The heat wave
is accountable. Wheat and barley
have rfpened. Oats are showing the
good effect of the warm weather.
Farmers in this section are assured Of
plenty of hay as result Of the hot
wave.
The county could stand little rain
now, though it is not imperative, how
ever, as yet.

DAIRYMEN DISCUSS PRICES

There was goodly attendance at
the meeting Of the Medina county aux
iliary of the Northern Ohio Milk Pro-
ducers' association, held at the court
house last Friday evening, for the
purpose Of discussing the recent ad-
vance to 26 cents a gallon to city
dealers.
President John Clark stated that the
advance had been decided upon by the
dealers and statesmen of the N. O. as
sociation, giving as their reason a
shortage of milk. Increasing the
price they believed, would stimulate a
correspondingly increase in produc-
ton.
AS a still further increase seems
probable by Oct. 1, the question as to
what the price should be for the three
months beginning Oct. 1, was dis
cussed and 32 cents was tentatively
agreed upon. Another meeting of
the auxiliary will be held before Oct.
1, at which time price will be defin-
itely decided upon.
Local retail dealers raised the price
of milk this week to 10c a quart.

EXPERTS INVESTIGATE
TUSSOCK MOTH HERE

Y Apparently the tussock moth pur-
poses fighting it out on it's own lines
if 1t takes all summer. The persis-
tence with which it attacks trees and
vines, and the fact that it will even
attempt a formidable defense against
any encroachment upon it's tail, may
well cause Medina people to realize
that in this scrappy little worm they
have indeed found a yeoman worthy
Of their steel.
It had been getting in it's deadly
work in the Sixth City long before it
was discovered in Medina land it is
pretty certain that it came here direct
from Cleveland. The appearance Of
the moth in ROCKVILLE, according to
Mr.. E. R. Root was first observed in
his company's garage, from which
fact he assumes that it found it's way
here by automobile.
Learning Of the vast and growing
numbers of the moth in Medina, H.
A. Gossard of the Wooster experiment
station and Mr.. Nellie Of the Cleve-
land department of forestry, were in
town last Saturday to make first
hand observations. The moth has got
so great start here that it is believed
the only method by which it can be
exterminated is by the town purchas-
ing a large sprayer ,one that will
throw spray as high as the tallest
tree in the park, and with a strong
solution Of arsenate of lead, ego to it. y
1t is stated that a mixture of 1C
pounds to 100 gallons in sufficient
quantity, will bring to the tussocE
"thoughts of the last sad hour" anC
forthwith gather him to his fathers.
Mr.. Root states that two parasites
Icne the lady bug, he has discovered
| Will feed upon the eng masses Of th'
tuss0ck moth, and through their ae
tivities and daily hunt for and de
struction Of the moth cocoons, Root
vile is now fairly well rid of the pest
However, a ceaseless vigil must b.
maintained against it's return.
According to Mr.. Root. cold weathe,
or the winter time, is when the mos
effective warfare may be waget
against the moth, as larvae is to b.
found in plentiful quantity in tht
crotches of trees and can easily b.
removed. The use of the sprayer nov
will serve as solar plexus swat
placing tussock horse de combat fol
the time being; then the removal ,o1
the tree deposits at a later seasor
should put him once for all in the
category Of minus quantities.

After comforting with Director Kast
ner Of the Akron Boys Camp associa-
ton, County Secretary Stow announc-
es that the camping period for Medina
county boys will be limited to one
week. This arrangement is made nee
essary because of the unusual need
for boys to work mostsof the summer,
and because Of the increased cost of
camp food. By limiting the period
to a week, instead of the usual ten
days, the cost will be $3.50, instead Of
$4,000, which would be the necessary
charge for the Today period. Boys
expecting to attend should notify the
county Office at once. This years
camp is planned to open August 9th.

OLD MAN VICTIM OF ASSAULT

al pathetic figure in Medina Tues
day morning was Michael Farrell. an
aged Hibernian, who has just passed
the seventy-fifth milestone Of life,
who was seeking admittance to the In
firmary, where he might receive pro-
Der medical attention and care for in
1uries received last Thursday, at the
Horr- Warner Co.'s onion camp at
Lodi, when fellow worker knocked
him down and kicked him about the
neck and shoulders until he was nearly
killed. The old man said he was ur-
able to get any one Of the local Off
cials to do anything for him in legal
way, and that not only his assailant,
but practically all the other workmen
were against him. He came to Medi-
ma upon the advice Of a stranger and
applied for admittance to the county's
building for the infnn. AT HIS advanc-
Cd age, Farrell finds himself alone in
the world without relatives or friends.
He was sober, unusually well read, and
disclosed remarkable memory fer
historical facts and dates. Apparently
his case Is a most worthy one.
