A POEM.
.(Selected.)

(SelecCeu]
When the war is over, boys,
Just take a tip from me;
There will be no German submarine
A diving through the sea.
The Fatherland is Kaiser Bill,
The guy we are going to lick,
We will have a brand new kasler
and that same will be a Nick.
The police force then in Berlin
I'LL be Nick from County Clare;
And we will put a brand new Kaiser
IN that palace over there.
In every German parkway,
You will see a sweet colleen;
And the waving fields OF sauerKrau'
Will be trimmed with shamrocks
green.
No sauerkraut nor sausage,
when the Dutchman drinks his suds;
They will get corned beef and CAP
bage,
And good old Irish spuds.
No long Tom guns nor gas ooomos'
We will throw them all away,
They will have to use shllalays
Or bricks of Irish clay.
They will wear no iron crosses;
Shure it's shamrccks they Will wear
2hen we put a brand new Kaiser
IN the palace over there.

WORLDS BIGGEST TELEPHONY
CABLE LAID UNDER THE HUDSON

One step nearer a world telephone
service in the opinion of engineers
engaged on the work, was taken re-
Gently, when the largest submarine
cable in the history of the telephone
was laid under the Hudson River, be-
tween the little cities of Nyack and
Tarrytown, N. Y. It was designed
to make an important connection be-
tween the existing systems on eacn
side of the river, but the installation
involved so much ex experimentaI work
and study on the part of the telephone
operatives, to say nothing of numer-
Gus physical difficulties, that its sue
cess was regarded as significant of
what may be accomplished in extend
ing telephone cables under the sea
in the future. The laying CT the big
cable is described, with illustrations,
in the June Popular Mechanics Maya
zine.
Besides the fact that 4,7S0 #. Of
this heavist cable ever made was. re-
quired to span the bottom of the river,
the remarkable feature of the installa-
ton included the use of two leading
coils, incased in loading pots 6 it.
long and weighing over four tons each.
The laying of the cable was accom-
plished by the use of cable tug
boat, sand scow, and light-draft tug,
and took eight days to complete. Each
step in the work had been carefully
planned in advance by technical ex-
perts and involved many different
operations, from the arrival of the
specially made cable by freight to
the final splicing of the wires, the
strategic laying of the line, and the
anchoring of it on the river bottom
by means of chains

What is the Army Worm?

An insect having four life history
stages,-(a) eggs laid on food plants;
ES) caterpillars resembling corn ear
worms (worms) which hatch from
these eggs; (c) pupa; When the cat
erpillar becomes full-groWn, it goes
into the ground and changes to the
resting stage or pupa; (d) moth,
which comes from the pupa.
1.-Why called Army Worm?
Because when the caterpillars are
very abundant they travel in droves,
ton and other cultivated plants IN
3.-What are its food plants?
It has a large number of food
plants. 1t has preference for vetch
and tender grasses. From these the
caterpillars migrate to corn and cot
ton and other cultivated plants IN
Guiding garden crops. 1t is fond OF
the pods of vetch.
4.-Has the insect appeared yet this
season?
Yes.
b.-Will it do much damage?
Is very likely unless stopped.
6.-How many generations a season
Four
When first seen what should be
done?
Kill the worms as far as practica-
BILE by one or more of the methods
suggested below or-.others that the
situation gay suggest.
8.-When coTained to field of vetch
or grass can they be preveS@s.
from spreading?
Yes, you can plow deep furrow
around the field and when the worms
nile I'D in the furrow drag log
through it. Poison the adjoining mar
gins of corn and cotton fields. Craze
the infested area heavily. If the
ground is level use heavy roller. If
a. road or driveway separates the in
tested from the theatened crop, use
drag in killing the caterpillar when
crossing. Cut and cure the infested
grass for hay if far enough advanced
and plow and plant to an other crup.
G-When crop is generally infested
what can be done?
Dust poison.
l0.-Mhat are the poisons?
Arsenate of lead, Paris green are
Sest in order named.
11.-How much poison is used per
acre?
About two pounds, less for very
young cotton and two and a half to
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1917-06-19

three POUNDS for cotton more than
three feet high.
12.-How is powdered arsenate Of lead
prepared for use?
1t is ready for use when purchased.
13.-How is Paris green prepared?
By mixing it, equal parts with air
slaked lime.
14.-How is London purple prepared?
Same as Paris green. 1t is not rec
commended except in extreme emerg-
encies, as on weeds or other plants
not valuable.
lbs there danger OF burning Ioh-
age and injuring plants?
Arsenate of lead does not burn.
Paris green and London purple may
burn more or less severely, therefore
powdered arsenate Of lead is emphatl-
cally recommended
16.-What is a practical way of apply
ing the poison?
On small areas dust it through
:,,,.-.ccco cloth bag attached to stick.
l.. W. : to most practical way
of dusting large areas?
Two sacks and pole carried on horse
back
19.-How is this made?
A strip of wood three inches wide,
one inch thick, and one foot longer
than the width of cows. Six inches
from each end bore hole one inch
or moro in diameter Make two sacks
:,cc3 snd twenty inches long and
about the width of the strip OF
wood. The open sides are tackled to
the ends of the strip Called pole) and
these can be filed with poison
through the auger hole in the end
of the pole. A funnel can be used to
advantage. Flour sacks having no
starch are excellent.
20.-How large an area can one man
poison per day?
With the apparatus for poisoning
+ two rows at a time, carried on horse
hack one man can poison twenty acres
per day.
21.-1s there danger of poisoning
stock?
Yes. after one or two heavy rains

wounds or sores on man or AMI
mails?
Sometimes they do. Before using
n
sores or wash them after the Work
is done.

eating poisoned cotton or corn?
Muzzle the mule.
24.--Will poison blown on the mule
be Injurious to the animal?
Wash the mule after the work Is
done.
25.-Using the stick and bag method
how do I know when l am dust
ing the right amount?
By weighing pole and sacks before
and after dusting known area. Use
good Judgment, A small variation is
immaterial.
26.-When is the best time to dust?
In the morning when the dew is on
and NO heavy wind.
27.-May the sacks touch the fohage
when busting?
No. 1t interferes with the amount
passing out of the sack. When the
leaves are moist it will clog the sack.
2S.-How can I regulate the amount
of poison busted?
By judiciously varying the amount
of jarring of the pole.

CANNING WITH LESS SUGAR

Exchange.
No doubt you are already meditating
on the subject of summer canning and
your thoughts probably go something
: like this: In the face of the present
high-and always soaring 1igher-cost
of living, you want to do all you can
to turn your own time to account oy
way of preparing inexpensive foods
for winter. If you can economlze Dy
canning your own fruit, you want TO
do it. Yet, you reason, sugar is very
high. 1t may be less by winter time
or before all the canned fruit is con-
sumed. If this turned out to be the
case it wouldn't be so bad to have
spent so much of an outlay on buying
sugar at it's present high price?
Well. there are two answers to this
objection.
In the first place, fruit is so much
cheaper in season than it is out OF
season that it does pay even Wheh
sugar is high to can it and otherwise
nreserye it for winter use. Then, too
if you have to pay high price for
sugar. so do the Gamers. And tney
will charge accordingly when winter
comes.
The second answer is this: Sugar Is
/ not needed in canning. And, though II
adds very materially to the food value
of the fruit and is needed when the
fruit is to be used as dessert II Is
, not actually needed in the canning
process. The old idea. was that the
,ae sugar did the preserving. The new
idea is that sterilization kills the Or
sanisms that might make the frult
decay. With perfect sterilization, can
! ned fruits may Or may not be sweet
. ened. OF course, in the case OF mar
malades and jams. that are not sealeo
closely. the sugar does do the preserV-
ing but with ordinary canned fruit the
sugar is not needed. If you have reas'
ON tn believe that the price of sugar
will drop before you need to use tae
! fruit. just put them up now ana aoe
the sugar later, or when the 1rult Is
! eaten.
If YOU want to know how to car
frnit without using sugar, there IS
very good bulletin on the suDlect Is
sued by the Department OF Agrlcul'
t,rre that you might read to advantage
&. But any up-to-date book on househoic
canning will tell you exactly how tc
can fruit by means of sterilization
There are steamers on the market es'
pecially designed for this kind OF can
ming, or you may devise one TOR your,
self by means of a clothes boiler. Ac'
cording to this method OF canning, the
fruit is first skinned and Immersed
first in boiling water and then IN eo!o
Then it is placed in the jars. Boil
ing water is then added and the TuD,
bers placed around. Then the jars are
I rlaced in the steamer and the steamlns
sterilizing process goes on for aooul
fifteen minutes, according to the KIND
! of equipment used.
Yes, it is a fact that any fruit can
be kept prefectly we'll without an
ounce of sugar. And the equipment
necessary for this Kind of canning Is Is
50 slight as to make it we'll worth

Yes, it is very important.
3O.-Is it necessary to repeat dust
ing Immediately after a heavy
rains
3It is rarely necessary with the ar
senate of lead, but Paris green and
London purple wash off easily. These
poisons must be redusted after rain.
31.-When an army of caterpillars is
not threatening a crop, should they
be destroyed by poisoning or 9TH
erwise?
Every time This is to reduce as far
as possible the generations which are
