The Denver youths were planning
soon to invade the Sahara and set up
their kingdom. over which they were
to rule as joint kings. The natives
were to be organized into a powerful
army Of 100000 men. This army was
to dig great artesian wells, water from
which was to form two lakes with an
area of 100000 square miles. The
Senegal and Nile were to be flooded,
shutting the new kingdom safely in
against hostile incurson. Portugal
was to be coerced into ceding Portu-
guese East Africa to the new kingdom;
in return for which Portugal was to be
helped to take British and French
Guiana and the former German pos
sessions in Africa. Each of the joint |
kings had figured out an income of |
$14, 100000 for himself.

! Philippines Grow Best Hemp.

Hemp may grow all over the world
but the famous Philippine fields are
the ones we know best as yet. They
have real monopoly on the crop, as
their soil seems to be especially adapt
ed for it. The abaca, as they call 1t,
looks very much like the banana tree.
They belong to the same family, but
the fruit Of the hemp tree is not edible,
and TIE fiber of the banana is not
.rong enough to use.
The very best quality of hemp grown
in the Philippines comes from the
fields about Mount Mayor in Luzon.
The dust and ashes of this majestic
Volcano have formed the most perfect
soil for it's culture. soil that is found
nowhere else in The world.

GREEN WORMS EAT STRING
 BEANS

Green worms are invading local gardens and are destroying string bean crops. County Agent Benjamin w Ellis has received number of in quiries from gardeners in this vicinity as to what is the proper treatment to get rid of the pests. He has taken the matter up with the state experiment station at New Haven, and they state that the worm is probably the green clover worm, and that it can be killed by spraying the bean vines with ar senate of lead, one tablespoonful of powder to a gallon of water If paste is used, two spoonsful to the gallon are necessary. Mir. Ellis says that if the beans are thoroughly washed be- fore cooking there will be no danger of i'll effects from the arsenic com pound.
