BANKS
From Flint Daily Journal:

There is more public good will to-
wards the bank as an institution than
ever before. The reason is that the
bank has more good will towards the
public than ever before. More people
are seeing their relation to the banks,
and best of all the banks are seeing
their relation to the people. Through
the banking laws and better order and
system there have been but few bank
failures with the last five years. Go
into ever the small rural town and
about the best systematized and best
appearing business institution is the
bank. The bank and the postoffice
in small town are about the only
institutions where all the patrons do
not run behind the counters and where
there is no loafng. And the cour-
tesy of bank officials and employees is
becoming almost universal.
BY their advertising banks have per-
formed splendid social service in
teaching more of us to save. Pick up
the average weekly paper of even the
remote rural community and we will

The banks have and are performing
an immense educational service in this
country and by evolution; first, they
induced us to take our surplus funds
out of stoves, tin cans and stockings
and put them in the bank; then they
induced us to save more and now they
are teaching us how to produce more
Even comparatively small banking in
situations are issuing well prepared
literature on household economy, gar
dening, chicken raising, bee culture
and the like. Other banking institu-
tions are appealing to the young, the
coming generation, for increased pro-
duction and by organizing boys and
girls into corn clubs, garden clubs,
and even pig clubs.
Throughout the country a few
months ago there was exhibited NOV

DOES 1T PAY

E. S. Dunks,. county agricultural
agent, writes the Livingston Republi-
can as follows:
By using two tons of limestone per
acre, once in five year crop rotation,
the Ohio Experimental Station was
able to add the following increased
crop yields:
Corn, Is bushel at SLIT, $23.O1.
Oats, bushel at 75c, 1878.
Wheat, bushel at 1920, $11.00.
Clover, ton at $4,000, $4,000
Timothy, 1900 lbs, at $685. $45.O
Five year total increase, $113.26.
Two tons of Limestone adds $113.26
in extra profits on one acre in five
years, on each ton of limestone used.
These crop prices may be considered
high, but in many markets in the
month of May these crops sold at
higher prices than are mentioned here.
The moral is "Use two tons of lime
stone to the acre and add profit to the
farming game" If these prices are
too high cut them in two and lime
stone is still your money making
friend.
The amount of limestone used in
Livingston County this year has been
increased from to 16 carloads. In
addition many tons of mari were used.
Now is good time to plan to get the
mari out of that mari bed as it as dry
now as it ever will be. One cubic yard
of mark contains approximately 1900
pounds of lime carbonate and is worth
on the basis of present prices of
ground limestone 1888. A certain
alfalfa field in Livingston County COW
cred with mari at the rate of five loads
per acre yielded on a measured and
weighed strip SO tons of cured alfal-
ia hay per acre at the first cutting.

LANSING THE WALL FLOWER

AS an evidence of the extent to
which the President ignored his fellow
Imembers of the peace commission, Sec
rotary Lansing testifies that Mr.. Will
son never discussed Article 10 Of the
covenant with him. Yet that is the
provision that the President and the
other convenanters have declared
forms the very cornerstone of the
league. Without it the league would
lose the very essence of its force, say
they. But not enough Importance
was attached to the Secretary's views
in the matter even to mention it to
him.

ARMY WORMS WORKING
ON MICHIGAN CROPS

East Lansing, Aug. 20.-Reports of
a dangerous outbreak of army worms
in the Thumb district of Michigan,
chiefly in Sanilac, Huron and TuscoJ,
Counties, have been received by the
Entomology Department Of the Mica
igan Agricultural College. The army
worms, which derive their name from
habit of marching like an army
from one field to another, destroy all
crops they come in contact with, eat
ing or cutting down practically every
thing. Reports indicate slight out
breaks in other parts of the State, but
the chief danger seems to be in the
so-called Thumb counties. The worms
are later than usual this year, accord
ing to Prof. r. j. Petit, M. A. c. En-
tomologist. They have been reported
as doing great damage in neighboring
states, chiefly Illinois and Ohio, but
only recently put in an appearance in
Michigan.
That the worms be checked in their
efforts to spread or march to new
fields is extremely important. Pro-
fessor Petit gives the following con-
troll methods:
1.-TWO methods are in common use
in restricting the progress of Army
worms. One depends on barrier to
keep the worms from spreading into
new areas and the other is by means
of poison bait which actually kills the
worms. The barriers or bitches are
of most use when the worms are
marching and threaten new fields. The
commonest barriers used consist of
two or three deep burrows, plowed
around the area infested, and spaced
8 to 10 feet apart. Turn the burrows
toward the advancing owrms, in order
that when the worms tumble in the
burrows they have to climb up the
smooth, land side in order to get out,
then when these burrows fill up turn
them under, thereby, leaving fresh
burrows for the worms to fill. Now.
army worms work at night and during
lowery weather and therefore, it will
be necessary to keep watch of things
all night for the few days that elapse
before these worms get full size and
descend into the ground.
"Poison bats are most useful
when the worms are scattered and
also, they may be used in addition to
the ditching. The following formula
is one that has been very successful in
the past and which is easily filled.
"Sift together 1 pound of paris
green or ga pound of white arsenic
(not arsenate of lead) and 20 pounds
of bran; add half gallon of molasses
or syrup and little water, and stir
in three oranges or lemons, ground
fine in a food chopper, skins and all. |
This may be broad-casted over from
2 to acres of land. 1t is very attrac-
tive to both cut-worms and to grass
hoppers. Do not try to substitute any
other poison for the paris-green or
white arsenic. Neither arsenate of |
lead or arsenate of calcium will do the |
work unless very large quantities of |
the poison are used. Neither should
one use this bait where poultry are
liable to pick up much if it, although |
he bait should be distributed in a
finely broken up conditions rather
han in Jumps" j

trade. All of this is prepared by spe-
cialists after first hand research and
is of the utmost value to our future
foreign trade. Any effort that will
increase our thrift and production is
service to humanity, and service to
humanity is good business.
