CHILDREN WILL HELP
BOAST n. {. A. MEETING



The Portland General Committee
of the N. E. A., has formed plan
whereby the children of the State
may invite the teachers from other
States to attend the N. E. A. in Port
land July TIA, 1917.
In our opinion this is wise pro-
ject, for by making direct appeal to
those whom the meeting will attract,
we may increase the attendance, and
afford those who attend an opportuni-
ty to view our great and growing
West.
The State of Utah has been as
signed to us and l am sure the Nor
row County teachers and pupils will
take such an interest in this matter,
that Utah will have the largest de-
legation of all the states at the N. Il.
A.
We have written to the several
County Superintendent of the above
named state, for list of the teachers
under their jurisdiction. AS soon
as these lists arrive we shall mail
to each teacher her allotment of
names.
The Union Pacific System is pre-
pairing very elaborate illustrated
folder especially for the N. e. A.
meeting, and they have kindly offer
ed to pay the postage on all letters
sent by the school children of the
State, provided they are given the
privilege of enclosing with each let
ter, one of these folders.
Morrow County will furnish the
envelopes, so all we have to do is to
write the letter. A plan for this will
be sent to each teacher.
I hope that every teacher in Nor
row County may become member
of the N. e. A. before the associa-
tion meets in Portland.
Very truly yours.

County School Superintendent.

PILLING MANURE
KILLS QUACk
GRASS SEED

Where hay containing seeds of va
rious kinds is fed to livestock, it is a
very easy matter to have barnyard
manure become badly infested with
weed seeds.
That there is a real danger of get
ting land infested with quack grass
through the manure has been recog-
niied by many farmers, but too often
only after bitter experience. One
company working about 80 horses
every winter, writes that they cannot
get rid of their manure because they
get more or less weed seeds in their
hay bought from all over the country.
Neither do they nor neighboring farm
ers want to use the manure on their
land for fear of spreading quack gras
on it. Nor does the average man like
TO fertilize his fields with manure from
This danger can be overcome by
keeping the manure in piles 6 to 8
feet deep for month or six weeks.
The fermentation and heat produced
in such piles has been found to kill
practically all the weed seeds of all
kinds, with the possible exception of
a few on the surface. And even these
few can also be destroyed later by
quitting the surface manure into the
bottom of new pile. That is, after
a pile has been allowed to remain fo1
six weeks, the outer foot can be re.
moved to be put into another pile, anG
the remainder of the manure can be
used without danger from weed seeds

CRANBERRY PEST
CONTROLLED
BY FLOODING
Sanding and Cultural Practices also
Are Effective Measures, Depart
ment EntomOlogists Reports

of cranberry boys, Immediately after
the crop has been picked, is the most
effective controlling measure against
the cranberry girdler, an entomologist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture has concluded after four
years of investigation. Facts concern
ing the life history of this pest and
its control, obtained during the in
vestigation, have just been published
as Department Bulletin $50, "The
Cranberry Girdler," by H. B. Scam
nell, which will be sent free on APP
LEGATION.
The girdler now is very abundant
in the cranberry districts of Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey, particularly
in the latter State, where, according
to the specialist, the majority of the
bogs show more or less injury by this
pest. 1t is common also in Wisconsin
but has not become serious there pro-
badly because the bogs, as a rule, are
kept wetter than those in the eastern
cranberry states. Gnawing the bark
completely around the runners of
cranberry plants, the larvae of the
girdler either completely sever these
runners or cause the part of the plant
beyond to die, provided no other roots
nourish these parts. Owing to their
habit of feeding concealed in trash
under the vines, the worms are very
difficult to find and have been over
looked by many growers who were
aware of the injury but uncertain as
to the cause.
The fall flooding measure, if done
before the last of September, is effect
i've because it comes before the worms
have spun their cocoons. A food
lasting not more than week is un-
dcubtedly of sufficient duration to
kill all larvae. If the berries can not
be removed from the vines in time to
permit flooding before the last of Sep
tSIIDS1, VI IL LilS "dlSI supply is III
sufficient, the next best method of con-
troll, the entomologist says, is to hold
the winter fiowage over the vines until
July 20, This necessitates losing one
crop of berries but clean bog is OBJ
tanned, together with the proba bility
of having the crop twice the normal
in quantity the following year.
If the foregoing remedies cannot
be employed recourse may be had to
sanding and particularly to cultural
| methods. 1t is doubtful, the special
| ist believes, if a coat of sand less
than two inches thick can be relied
upon to prevent emergency Of the grid

RAPIDS TO
DELLS ROUTE

Announcement is made in Grand
Rapids dispatch that the Highway
committee has decided on a road from
Grand Rapids to the Dells at Kilbourn.
This will be a scenic route and will
follow the river most of the way. 1t
will not interfere with the plan to
construct a road from Stevens Point
to Portage for the accommodation of
the people who live between the two
cities, there being few residents along
the river route. The two roads will
join at Portage. This decision is salts
factory to Stevens Point.
It is also stated that the Pittsville
road from Grand Rapids to Marshfeld,
instead of the Vesper road, has been
chosen.-From Stevens Point Journal

JOUR- FRIEND
MAYOR FELKER'

From Pittsville Record
The majority of those people from
here who attended the road hearing
at Grand Rapids last Friday are still
at loss to determine just why May
or Felker, of Marshfeld, busted him
self 50 assidiously, in behalf of the
east route
If it had been the work of plain
Mr. Felker, of Marshfeld, with inter
ests on the Auburndale-Arpi -Vesper
route, his actions were eXcusable But
the activities of Mayor Felker, admit
edly with interests neither way work
ing up within himself an animosity
toward this newer part of the county
to the point of actual sarchasm, drags
the City of Marshfeld into the mire
also
And right here is where Marshfeld's
ancient contemporary to the south
slipped one over. Grand Rapids did
not take any action whatever in the
routing of the road. In fact, the coun-
ty seaters openly declared their neu-
trallity.
1t is believed many of the big in
terests Of Marshfeld were neutral.
Efforts in this line, however, were
blasted by the biased conduct of Cur
Friend, Mr.. Felker," mayor of Marsh
field, who, overly anxious to put him
self on record, has put Marshfeld on
record as biased community.
That it was wholly within the rights
and privileges of Mayor Felker to do
as he did, we of the Pittsville district,
do not question. 1t is merely a matter
of policies, played with the winning
hand to Grand Rapids.

WORLDS
BIGGEST
LOCOMOTIVE

The greatest steam locomotive in
the world has been put into service
by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. 1t
is so gigantic, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly, that its boiler had to be
made flexible at three different joints
around a curve. It is over 100 feet
long and weighs some 420 tons.
Twenty-four driving wheels, each
standing as high as an average size
man, afford it traction. The driving
wheels are distributed along the
length of the locomotive in sets of
four pairs, the wheels of each set be-
ing coupled together and driven by
two giant team cylinders. Under
full steam, the locomotive can exert
an eighty three ton pull on the cars
behind (which means that it can
easily haul a freight train two miles
long and $4,000 tons in weight over
an ordinarily good roadbed at an av-
erage rate of about fourteen miles an
hour and possibly more. Bad roads
will retard it only slightly.

RAILROADS IN
WAR SERVICE

Reprinted from The New York
Commercial, October /, 1910
Outside of the War Department and
railroad circles few persons realize
how much the railroads of this coun-
try have done and are doing to win
the war. Since the first of last Au-
gust they have transported 1000 sol
diers to training camps without hitch
and the proof of the perfection of the
service is that so little has been heard
about it. Had everything gone wrong
the country would have rung with the
story.
Secretary of War Baker paid the
railroads a fitting tribute by saying:
"This strikingly illustrates the pa
triotic cooperation of the railroads
with the government and also the ire
mendous capacity of American rail
ways. | think the railroads deserve
great credit for this achievement"
Five days after Congress declar-
ed war, the chief executives of the
leading railroads met in Washington
to consult with the Council of Nation
al Defense and pledged themselves
with the government of the United
States, with the governments of the
several states and with one another,
that during the present war they will
coordinate their operations in a con-
tinental railway system, merging
during such period all their merely in
dividual and competitive activities in
the effort to produce a maximum ma
tional transportation efficiency"
The executive committee of five
then selected now directs the opera
tions of all the railroads as a single
system. In doing this the railroads
acted voluntarily and no law has been
enacted to enforce coordination. They
have received no guarantee of com
pensation such as the British govern
ment gave to the English railways
which are assured Of the same net re
turns that they earned before the war
began.

YOURLOCAL
NEWSPAPER

Your local newspaper is in no sense
a special child of charity. 1t earns
every dollar it receives and is second
to no enterprise in contributing to the
upbuilding and betterment of the town
and community. It's patrons reap far
more benefits from its pages than its
publisher and in calling for the sup
port of the community, it asks no more
than what in all fairness belongs to it.
PatroniZe your home paper as you
would any other enterprise, as mat
ter of business, because it directly or
indirectly helps you, and not as mat
ter of charity.-C. E. Miller in Apache

WOOD COUNTY LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE

pensive operation there are many New
Jersey boys, particularly those having
peat or mud bottoms, which would be
benefited greatly by thorough sand
ing A one-inch coat of sand will be
found of value for invigorating in
jured vines and in so far as it covers
the trash on the bog floor, will render
conditions less favorable for further
infestation by the girdlers.
Pruning as we'll as sanding should
be practiced, These measures togeth-
er with the removal of obnoxious
weeds and grasses, constitute better
cultural methods, all of which aid very
materially in making cranberry vines
healthier and freer from damaging
insects.
