of most unusual and peculiar acci-

box in his back yard, chopping kind

AN APPEAL ALL SHOULD HEED.

Three million jews are starving in
Europe. These helpless people.
driven out of their homes, are dying
by thousands.
People of America are called up
on to help them. The Jews Of
America have already given much to
their help, but what they have given
is not enough.
The American Jews could have
helped their suffering brothers more
if they had not contributed so liber-
ally to every charity that was in need
of funds-and we all know how many
charities have called upon all of us
for help.
The problem of caring for these
starNg people 10 Europe is too
great one for, the Jews to bear
alone. Consequently, for the first
time in American history, the Jews
are calling for help.
If immediate aid is not given,
these millions of people in Europe
must die.
There is no alternative. Give or
let them die.
Viii you help? Will you do for
the Jews what the Jews have done
for you, without being asked, for
years? Will you help stem the tide
Of horror over there?
You can and you must help. The
Louisiana non-sectarian drive for the
Jewish War Relief starts January e
and will last until January 13. You
will be asked to give. Give freely.
The Jews have helped you; now you
must help the Jews.

KEEP THE WEEYIL
OUT OF YOUR CORN
The Black Weev!l la Worst Enemy OF
Corn From the Time It Natures

The black weevil, with which every
Louisiana farmer is fully acquainted.
10 the worst enemy Of corn from the
time It begins to mature in the field
until disposed Of by feeding or selling
on the market" says A. r. kidder.
professor Of agronomy. Louisiana State
University. This insect will attack
the corn In the field, consequently one
must use measures that will reduce
such damage. The only method of les
sening the field ravages Is to field
select the corn In order to be sure of
getting ears with tight shuck cover
ings. The ends of the ears should be
especially well covered. Field-infest-
ed corn sh@ld be harvested earlier
than other corn. By pulling 1t with
the shuok on many of n weevils may
bs removed. Such corn can be fed
very early. or 1t may be placed (after
shucking) In very tight bin and
treated with carbon bisulphide to kill
the weevtls.

passes into gas very quickly upon ex.

keep lights and fires away from it, It
is heavier than air, hence II shallow
dishes containing the liquid are set
upon the corn the gas formed will
pass down through it. It.is necessary
that the gas come In direct contact
with the weevils for at least forty-flve
minutes to kill them. This makes II
necessary to use one pound Of bi-
sulphide for every 100 cubic feet Of
space in a tight bin. but II it Is slight

two and one-half to three times as
much. This fumigating should be done
on warm still day, as the weeyil be-
gins to hibernate at temperature
slightly below 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
AL buildings should be well ventilated
twenty-four to forty-eight hours after
fumigation. There is no danger of in
turing the termination of the corn,
provided 1t is dry, even by using still
greater amounts than mentioned
above"
