Chicago Tribune Says Plan Would Bankrupt Many; Small Papers Declare They Face Bank
 ruptcy Otherwise

Washington, Dec. 15.-Provis- ions of the Anthony bill which would limit to 24 pages daily news papers and periodicals using the second class mail privilege in ord CT to conserve news print pape., were commended and opposed by more than a score of newspaper and magazine publishers today before the house post office com mittee.
 Opposition to the measure came chiefly from the representatives of the larger newspapers, who de- clared that restrictions on the size would do little to remedy the sit uation resulting from the shortage of paper and would serve only to work a great deal if not fatal hardship on the large newspapers of the country.
 The bill was supported by pua- fishers of small newspapers, who declared they would be forced to suspend publication unless some thing was done.
 In opening the hearing, Repre- sentative Anthony of Kansas, au- thor of the bill, declared that from 2 500 to 5000 small newspapers face suspension, perhaps extinct ion should the present shortage of news print paper continue The shortage, the Kansas representa- tive charged, was due to the act ion of the great publishing con- cerns in buying up practically the entire available supply.
 Speaking for the Chicago Fri bune, a large user of paper, Joseph M. Patteitson, declared that the "A page restriction would affect only 50 to 60 newspapers. but to put it into effect imme- diaely would bankrupt many of the papers. The larger papers, he told the committee were willing tc accept a 10 per cent cut but were strongly opposed to the Anthony proposal which he estimated if some cases would amount to 6( per cent Many of the larger pa pers, he added, already had insti tuted reductions in size amounting to more than 10 per cent.

Without doubt the most practi-
cal and effective means Of control
ling this pest by "worming" the
trees regularly in the fall and
spring of each year. The fall
worming is the most important be-
cause at this season of the year
the worms" are removed before
they have attained considerable
size and before much injury has
been done. Start right now and re-
move the soil from the trunk of
the tree and from the larger roots
to depth Of 6, to 8 inches. Brush
or scrape off the loose dirt and
bark, and the borers can usually
be located by the sawdust and ex-
uding gum that is thrown out.
They are then removed by means
of a sharp knife or wire. If the
tree crown and larger roots are
left exposed a day or so before
worming, the borers can be more
easily located. The same opera
ton should be performed on all
trees again during May and June
to get any worms" which were
not located in the fall.
Great care should be exercised
in worming not to injure the
sound bark and wood more. than
necessary. furthermore, the cut
ting should be done vertical with
the grain Of the wood. A careless
worker will sometime injure the
trees more than the borers. After
worming, the earth should be re-
placed around the trees and in
case Of the spring worming
mounded around the tree to the
height Of about foot. It can be
readily seen that his mound will
cause the young borers to enter
the tree trunk higher up than nor
NAL, and consequently worming
will be accomplished easier dur
ing the following season. This
has another advantage in that
some Of the adults may not be able
to work their way through this
mound to emerge. Our records in
Mississippi show that the winged
adult borefs start emerging about
the 25th Of J August and continue
to come out until the first Of Oct
bber. Therefore, these mounds
should not be taken down until
! October, or at the time the fall
worming takes place.
