COUNTY ROUNDUP HERE
Preparations Begun for big Event
Whole COunty's Interest
Help Us Push.

Last Friday night quite a num-
Der of the repl esentative busi-
ness men met in the County
Court room for the purpose of
discussing the proposed County
Round Up" to be held this fall.
Mr.. Jordan outlined to those
present in a brief but compre-
hensive talk the general plan.
Our business men Immediately
became interested and $1,000 was
quickly pledged to finance the
affair. We have not space this
week to go into a detailed ex-
PLANTATION of just what this will
mean but later we will outline
the plans fully. We might say
now that very handsome prem
iums will be offered for the best
bushel and best ten ears of corn.
That a substantial sum will be
offered for the best ten ears of
corn displayed by any boy in
county under fourteen years of
age. That there will be nice
prizes for the girls, and a baby
show which does not mean the
best looking baby but which
means the healthiest baby. This
feature of the show alone will
be well worth all it costs because
infant specialists will be in
charge to carefully go over and
examine each child entered in
order that any defects which
may have escaped the observa-
ton of the mother may be point.
ed out and in many cases remed-
led. There will be a poulty
show, live stock show. show for
grains of all kinds. In fact
there will be a general agricul'
tural fair with premiums offered
for everything connected with
the farm. Another feature will
be a three day lecture course by
prominent men in the different
branches of agricultural life.
Bear in mind that while this
Round Up" will be held in
Keytesville it is not a local affair
but one in which the whole coun-
ty must take an active interest.
Keytesville will handsomely dc
her part and we have every rea.
son to believe that under the
able management of Mr.. Jordon
the county will respond. This
will give US an opportunity we
have never had to put Charlton
County on the agricultural MAP
and we believe that every man,
woman and child in the county
will be found cooperating when
the time comes. While the show
will not be held until in the fall
exhibits will have to be selected
all during the summer.
The place for holding the
Round Up" was fixed by the
Board of Directors of the Chari-
ton County Farm Bureau and at
the same time it was decided al
some date subsequent to the
Round Up" to have a pure seed
sale at Salisbury. We under.
stand the Salisbury people are
going to put on a very attractive
corn show in connection with
the sale and we want to say
right now that Salisbury may
depend upon our community
doing everything to make theil
affair highly successful.
Watch the county papers fol
details of the Round Up" from
time to time.

Registration

tuesday was the day set for
all between the ages of 21 and
81 TO show up at some appointed
place and submit their names
for the roster from which will
be drawn names of those VINO
will be drafted into the army
for soldier service in the war
against the Central Powers, and
indications are that the number
eligible all over the country run
into millions. However, the
metropolitan papers, while fell
citating the administration on
the number registered, say that
from 60 to 70 per cent of all
who did register. claim exemp-
tion from service on one account
or another. That estimate can
hardly be true so far as this
county is concerned or rather so
far as the administration is con-
cerned, but that numbers who
took no chances on having a
different view about disability
from the one held by them
selves had their names enrolled
in this county, there is not the
slightest doubt.
Salisbury was the only place
in the county at which demon
stration was made so far as we
can learn nor have we heard of
q single attempt to interfere
with the registration of one who
felt he should do so under the
call, but that hundreds of mo.
thers and fathers saw their sons
set out for the enforced duty
with the deepest regret, there
is not the slightest doubt.
At most of the places appoint
ed for registering the general
appearance was that of a modern
tame election day and all on the
side of the loser, but not a case
of failure to report has so fal
been mentio ned. The tern
slscker is a creation of metropo
atans papers for effect and uset
principally by those who are in
eligible and perhaps would hide
out if they were not.
We give the registration ir
the county by totals at the diff
erent precincts, but next week
will undertake to give the names
of all who registered.

TURNIP LOUISE ATTACKS
The POTATO VINES NOW

Gardeners around Watertown are
considerably troubled over the ap-
pearance of the aphides or turnip
kills them in a short time. They are
unable to explain the reason for the
parasites apparent sudden liking
for potato plants, as it is the first
time that they have ever attacked
these vines, so far as known
The Rev. LorenZ KnutZen seems to
be having the most trouble with his
garden. He stated that the louise first
attacked his turnip plants and then
the cabbage plants, destroying both.
They then went after his potatoes and
nearly destroyed them. He used paris
green and then powdered tobacco.
The tobacco seems to have the desired
effect, as the lice are not as numer-
GUS now on the plants. He said: ct
seems funny that where there were no
turnips in the garden the parasite
was not present, but in all gardens
where turnips are planted with pota-
toes both plants are affected The
sweet peas in his garden are also full
OF insect life belonging to the aphides
family but are of another variety, be-
ing much larger than the turnip
louise
Henry Benke of Benke Bros, flor
lists, said when asked about the tur-
nip louise attacking potato plants: 81
have never heard or read anything re-
garding this parasite attacking po-
tato plants before, and it is in my
opinion, very rare"
A late agricultural bulletin states
that some recent very successful ex-
periments have demonstrated the very
satisfactory practice as we'll as rene
dial value of finely ground tobacco
against the turnip louise.
This same bulletin also advocates
the use of kerosene emulsion as
preventive measure
