~. HOW TO ouTwlr cuTwoRMs.

III. HOW TO OUTWiT CUTWORMS.
Cutworlns are larvae or caterpillars
of common night-fying moths. The
larvae have the habit of curling up in
a roll when disturbed. Those which
cause the most trouble live through
the winter as part grown larvae. Hun
CRY after their winter fast, they attack
the plants near which they passed the
winter. Some chew the foliage, but
many of them eat through the. stem
and cut off the entire plant, either
just above or just below the ground.
To control cutworms, the land to be
used for a garden must be plowed or
spaded in the fall. Flowing and culti-
waiting we'll, starting early in the
spring, will help, but fall plowing is
preferable. Protecting the plants set
out on wormy soil by tight collar of
paper or tin will prevent the
cutworms getting at the stems.
The cutworms may also be killed and
the plants protected by using a poison
bait of bran and paris green. The
amount of bran necessary is taken and
then paris green is sprinkled over the
material and stirred until the bran
takes on light green cclog. The OBJ.
ject is to have every flake of bran with
some paris green on it. Then just
enough strong molasses and water, at
the rate of two quarts to four gallons
of water, is used to moisten the mix.
ture of bran and paris green but not
to make mash of it. The whole is
mixed thoroughly and placed in small
punches over the garden near the
plants to be protected.

and inconvenient to many, the room
was again crowded with interested
listeners, who thoroughly enjoyed
the many important facts that were SO
Interestingly presented to them, as
was attested by frequent applause.
The Governor went into considerable
detail as to how the willy Republican
candidate for Governor of this State
was conducting a campaign of abuse
and misrepresentation of the present
administration; he told in most posi-
tive manner of how stories--lies-
had been made up for the sole purpose
of mistifying and misleading honest
voters; that such falsehoods were a
positive crime against the fair name
of the State. Yet they We're being
put into circulation by the man who
is now asking the voters to elect him
to the principal office in the State.
While Gov. Gardner does not pre-
tend to be politician, having been
elected as a successful business man,
and has never departed from business
principles in his uneXcelled adminitra-
ton, he is fully able to cope success
fully with his political critics without
getting down to the low level of cheap
politicians in answering their slander-
out statements. Its paramount diff
ference from Republican administra-
tions, is that he has not only paid off
a large State indebtedness, but has
also accumulated handsome surplus,
notwithstanding the additional fact
that for tn past two years the State
has derived no taxes from liquor Ii
cense, for which he thanked God. Yet,
even in spite of such a gigantic ac-
complishment, it was consummated
with no increase in taxes to the av-
erage citizen. Exorbitant incomes
and excess profits were compelled to
pay for the privilege enjoyed, but
that was all.
Both these speeches contained much
information, as well as food for
thought, and were received with ut
most enthusiasm.

Speakers for
Amendment 6

Speakers from Pennington will ad-
dress the voters of Knob Lick, Lib
ertyville, French Village and Hazel
Run tomorrow afternoon on the i'm
portance of voting for good roads, as
are provided for in Constitutional
Amendment No. 6.
Each speaker, at the above named
places, should be given large and re-
spectful hearing. What they are
working for is the best interests of
every voter, as we'll as their own per-
sonal interests. If you are farm
er, then in all likelihood good roads
would be far more to your advantage
than they would personally to any of
these speakers, whose services are
volunteered. The $60,000,000 good
roads proposition, which is now being
offered the people of Missouri, is
chance for you to secure the greatest
possible good-at absolutely no ex-
pense to you. What greater boon
could you have than good hard-sur-
face roads? This is your opportunity
to secure such a privilege, the entire
expense of which will be paid from au-
tomobile licenses, providing Amend
ment No. is voted at the polls on
Nov. End, next. Can you think of
ANY good reason why you should not
accept such gift?

Gov. Gardner and John M. Atkinson
Flay Practices of ''3-Ball Art HYDE

Gov. Gardner and Hon. John M. At
kinson, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, both made speeches to large
and interested audiences in Farming
ton the last of the week. Mr.. Atkin-
son spoke in the court house Friday
afternoon, to u crowded house, and
the speech was received with fire..
quent applause and pronounced APP
proval. The speaker made no at
tempt at oratory, but spoke in a con-
versational tone, thereby getting over
much more ground than could other
wise have been covered. There was
so much to be said for Democracy,
and what the party stands for, for
the good and upbuilding of the hu-
man race, that he devoted but little
time to the political gyrations of
Harding, Hyde and other Republi-
can candidates.
The speaker did say, however, that
in the beginning he thought he was
running against Mr. Hyde only as a
Republican opponent, but since he
had heard so many strange and un-
Nuhhy IulSoY SoliiuB lIOli uio Oppo-
nent, ne is about convinced that both
DR.. Jeykel and Mr.. Hyde are opposed
to him. He said it would require at
least all the time of speech of Or
dinary length to reply to all the false
charges that had been made by "three
Ball Art" and his assistants, but that
many of them were so plainly erro-
neOuS that il was not necessary to
pay any attention to them. He spoke
of much of the splendid constructive
legislation of Gov. Gardner's admins
tration, which it was his ambition as
Governor of this great State to con-
tinue, and to enlarge on, if possible,
in order to keep Missouri well in the
front ranks among ell the States of
the Union.
On the following morning, at 10
o'clock, Gov Gardner delivered an ex-
cellent speech, in the same room

Public Service Commissioner Ed. j..
Bean will be here tomorrow at 9
o'clock for the purpose of holding Il
public hearing of the application Of
the Pennington Telephone Co. and
the ELECTRIC Railway Co. for an in
crease in rates. This is q matter Of
interest to every citizen, as there are
none that are not patrons Of one OF
both of these public service COM
panies.
Therefore TIE meeting, which will
start at 9 a. M, will doubtless be Of
much interest and be largely attended.
Anyone having a tenable reason why
an increase should not be allowed to
either or both these companies should
be present at this hearing, as they
should be, and doubtless will be given
an opportunity to be heard.

Dairy Expert
Here Nov. 9

At the next regular meeting of the
Pennington Chamber of Commerce,
which will be held in this city on the
evening of Nov. 9th, f. G. Bennett,
of jefferson City, State Dairy Com
missioner, will be guest of that or
ganization. The special purpose of
Mr.. Benefits visit will be to confer
and advise with the Chamber of Com
merce membership as to the best
methods to be pursued in order to
push forward and build up the dairy
business of this community and coun-
ty. He is an expert in the dairying
business, and it is expected that he
will be able to add very material as
sistance in that work.
On that occasion every person who
is interested in the dairy business,
whether they are members of the
Chamber of Commerce or not, is cor
daily invited and urged to attend that
meeting. The Pennington Chamber
of Commerce has entered earnestly
into the work of materially extending
the dairy business of this community,
and they propose to do everything in
their power to build up such industry,
which promises splendid reward for all
who may take up, or enlarge, such
industry. The great advantage or
proper cooperation is practically un-
limited, the field for successful dairy
ing is already at hand in this COM
munity, so all that remains toward
making such venture a pronounced
success is hearty and sincere coop
Grafton.
At this meeting also the matter Of
going more thoroughly into the work
of advertising to the world the splen-
did highway from St. Louis into this
section of country, will be taken up.
The splendid highways, with its splen-
did scenery along its entire ruute,
iustifies greater publicity, so the
Chamber of Commerce believes, in or
der that tourists may receive the
splendid advantages of travel on such
highway, which is hard surfaced the
entire way. To this end, plans will be
discussed for cooperating with other
towns along such highway, in the mat.
ter of advertising such a splendid
| route, that this route may be popular
lied. The possibility of having such
highway extended on to Ste. Genevieve
and Cape Girardeau will also be dis
cussed.
All should now put on their think
ing caps, attend the Chamber of
Commerce meeting on Nov. 9th, and
give thg 2eeting the benefit of any
| suggestions they may have to offer.
If every citizen will do this, then
great GOOD NAV confidently be expect
ed to result from such meeting.

PUTTING THE "HELL"
IN HELENA, MONTANA

At a recent meeting of the publ
city committee of the Helena Com
mercial club, of which G. w. Casteel
is chairman, it was announced that
a special effort should be made to
teach the people of the United States
the correct pronunciation of the
name of the city.
The names of four other towns in
the country are spelled the same way
but accented on the second syllable,
thus confusing the people familiar
with these towns, and causing them
to assume the same pronunciation
for Montana's capital city. 1t is in
effort to correct this that the
committee has been aroused to I'M
dertake this campaign of education.
The committee wants to have it
distinctly understood that in pro-
nouncing Helena" that the empha-
sis should be placed on the first syl-
lable-this is the way the natives"
speak it-Hel'na.

were made relative to what would
likely be the more important pro-
jects to be considered. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that the building
of silos is receiving considerable at
tention from farmers throughout the
country and that many are making
plans to put in a silage crop this
spring. 1t is planned at the annual
meeting to have on exhibition repre-
sentative pieces of necessary ma
chinery to handle the silage crop,
and discussions covering the grow
ing of the feed. Since the interest in
silos is an indication of a more act
i've concern with the dairy industry
subjects relating to this farm activ-
ity will receive considerable atten-
ton during the short course pro-
gram. With the active development
of irrigation in the country the bu-
reau will have an opportunity to as
sist the commissioners of these pro-
jects to no little extent in the fur
thering of their plans and the board
of directors heartily recommended
any cooperation and left the matter
of formulating some plan of coop
Grafton with the county leader of the
project, Will Cotter. The pest con-
troll work which includes ground
squirrel eradication, will be contin-
ued again this year on an even lar
ger scale than in preceding seasons
and for the Columbian gophers in
the Winston community there will
be a slight change in formula by
which better results are expected.
The matter Of bO1dinp aOmmnnitv
meetings was discussed and the pre-
vailing opinion was that the COM
munity meetings had best follow the
short course at the county seat, but
that meetings in each community
would be held with the local COM
mittees and a tentative or sugges-
tive program of work drawn up for
the consideration of the county.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-03-25

A farmer sat on the front porch
of his home after dinner one day. A
passing friend asked him why he
wasn't out getting in his hay. The
farmer answered, 1--WE been sitting
here 80 minutes and in that time I
have thought how I can increase my
profits by $40!" The manual labor
on the farm can be lessened and the
profits increased through the appli-
cation of timely thought as to what
is best to plant, what is best to raise
in livestock, what methods will work
to the best advantage, and how the
work may best be correlated.
1t used to be thought that the
man who did the most work on the
farm was the most successful farm
er. This may have been true at one
time, but now it is the man who
thinks most about his business and
who puts what he thinks into prac-
tice who is the most successful farm
er. 1t is the man who applies his
energies most efficiently who enjoys
the greatest profits and who, in the
long run, is the most successful.
A little time spent daily in plan
ming at any aso of the year will
be found worth while. The principal
time to plan, however, is the time
when farm duties are not pressing.
At this time the farmer has more
leisure.
Right now, before spring work
gets too heavy, is the time for some
clearcut, definite planning, the re-
suits of which will be manifest dur
ing the entire coming season and per-
haps for a number Of seasons to
come.

The Scrub Sire Must Go

istered Hereford herds in the state
than any other 10 years in the live
stock history of Montana. Most OF
these new herds have been started
by experienced stockmen who have
had ample opportunity to compare
Herefords, both on the farm and
range, with cattle of other breeds.
The Montana Hereford Breeders
Association is holding two sales this
spring. One at Billings, on April 81,
during the convention of the Mon
tana Stockgrowers' Association. The
other will be held at Great Falls on
May 81, when the new $4,000 live
stock sale pavilion now being erect
ed is completed.
There will be 134 head of register
ed cattle in the Billings sale: So COWS
and heifers and rs bulls. The mem
bers of the association have been
most loyal to this sale and have al
lowed the officers to select cattle
from their herds that under ordin-
airy circumstances many of which
would not be for sale, but they
realize that this sale is being held
more to demonstrate the wonderful
quality of registered Herefords now
being raised in the state, than as a
money making proposition. The
time was never more %opportune to
start a registered herd than the pres
ent. Practically all western states
have found it necessary to pass laws
eliminating the scrub bull. Montana
has such a law, with every indica-
tion that at the next session of the
legislature it will be strengthened a
great deal.
1t would be almost impossible to
the economic loss to the stock
men of the state this year alone from
the use of inferior sires, but it is
safe to say it would run into millions
of dollars.
Due to short feed, a great many
of the cattle shipped to market were
not in condition for slaughter. If
these cattle had had the breeding be-
hind them they would have sold
readily to the corn belt feeders at
good prices. But, in hundreds of in
due to the use of scrub sires,
their quality was such that the feed
ers of the east would not buy them
and feed them high priced corn. On
the other hand the breeders who had
been using registered bulls found a
ready market at good prices for the
Young stuff. The same difference
n price will hold good on the three
and four-year-old fat steers.
