with q severe rebuke yesterday at
the hands Of Senator Kenyon, OF
Iowa.

$4,000 PREMIUM LIST

Ten a instead of twenty ear sam
pies of corn will be shown this year
al the Hay and Grain Show which
viii be held in connection with the
international Live Stock Exposition
at Chicago, November p to December
1, for the $4,000 premius list offered
by the Chicago Board of Trade. This
action will meet with the hearty
approval of the hundreds of exhibitors
and will e a much larger list Of
entrants, because the growers know
that it is much easier to pick a ten
ear sample than for twenty ears,
and show orn equally as good or better
than that Of the twenty ear samples.
The ten ear samples were recognized
by all the corn states at the state
meeting in September as being more
satisfactory.
In addition to this change, a class
also has been provided for single ear
samples of corn with suitable premi-
ums. This class was not provided last
' tdl Until lIlilt lOI lHe SHOW, DuI even
then there were more than $50 en-
trants. In the twenty ear samples
shown last year, there were 100 ex-
hibitors and it is thought that this
number Will go to 1000 or more with
the change made in cutting the num-
Der a ten ear sample.
Glasses for small grains and seeds
for hay and forage crops which it was
announced would be provided this year
are ~arousing considerable interest not
only in the cor belt, but in the far
west and east, and also in the south
and in Canada. Suitable prizes will
be given for field peas, soybeans, cow
peas, and clover, alfalfa, timothy,
alsike and similar seeds also will be in
special classes this year with several
hundred dollars in prizes going to the
growers Of these products.

TO DESTROY ANT HILL

The mound-building prairie ant
which has caused so much damage
in the western states can be success.
fully controlled by fumigation with
carbon b~isulphide according to A. L.
Ford, extension entomologist at State
college. To fumigate an ant hill the
following method is recommended:
lnvert an ordinary metal washtub over
the hill while the entrances to the
mound are open. Pour out an ounce
or two of carbon bisuIphide into a
shallow dish and place under the tub.
Quickly press the tub lightly into the
making it as air tight as possible.
Stop up tightly any entrances to the
mound that the tub does not cover
and leave undisturbed for five or six
hours.
Carbon bisulphide, which can be
purchased in practically every drug
store, is a liquid which, in evaporat-
ing, gives off a gas that is heavier
than air. When this gas is liberated
under the tub, the gas flows down
ward through the complicated system
of galleries and burrows found be-
meath all ant hills. When fumigation
is thoroughly done the gas reaches to
the most distant burrows of the hill,
the result being that all ants which
it in contact with are killed.
Carbon bisulphide is highly inflam-
mable, which makes it necessary for
the operator to use extreme care. He
should keep away from fire of all
kinds while at this work.
BY changing the tubs in the morn
ing, at noon, and again in the even
ing, three ant hills can be fumigated

The South Man chester boys have the reputation of being the fastest aggregation of ball tossers in the state as they have beat en the fast Polls team of Hartford in a to 1 battle last Sunday.
 For the local boys, Drost will be in the box, and from the ability that he has shown on the local diamond much is expected of him. Stapleton, who made hit with local fans when he played here with the Bridgeport Rose buds, will be seen in a Kacey uniform on first base.
