their continued gratitude to Am

Of American relief agencies in

ans and they are very frequent
Iy met with. because such large
numbers Of them have departed
by stealth from their own coun-
try where living conditions have
become almost intolerable-you
hear expressions of the utmost
confidence in America and in Am
erican unselfshness. 1t really
is surprising to note the frequen-
cy and the sincerity with which
that confidence is expressed, for
at home in America one cannot
get the correct perspective which
shows the true dimensions Of the
affection engendered among the
new or re-made nations Of Fur
ope by the recent and present
attitude of the United States.

BLACKBIRD CHESTNUT CROP
Best Yield in BIackbird For Ten Years
By Reason of New Growth

Blackbird, Sept. 21.-The chest
nut crop in this section will be the
largest in the past ten years. The
trees were damaged by scale and
since that time there has been very
few nuts each year. Now that the
new wood or lower branches have had
time to develop into small trees most
of the crop will be gathered from
these trees. In many instances the
dead trees are still standing. In the
Tybout Wood, near here, the largest
tract of timber in Blackbird Hundred,
most of the timber is chestnut. Prac-
tically the entire woods has been af-
fected by scale. This land is owned
by ex-senator Edward Hart. He has
had a lumber mill in this woods for
several years and has endeavored to
sell the wood in way of posts and for
fuel. 1t is thought, now the young
trees are producing nuts, that in the
course of five years this tract Of land
will be the best in the country as it
was ten years ago.

DIR. OSWOLD DENNEY's SUCCESS

DR.. OswOld E. Denney, son of the
late Robert Denney, of Duck Greek

1.-THE hardest factor in the six-vear
search, since in most cases when tho
committee in charge settled on a To-
catlon the people of the surrounding
territory at once protested against
having a leper asylum in their midst.
Inc federal government now has pur-
chased the State leper asylum at Car
vile, La, and will begin at once to
erect buildings and make the other
changes necessary for turning the |
small leprosarium into a national in
stitution where all the lepers of the
country may be cared for adequately.
The Carvllle asylum has been acquired
at price which leaves a good fund
at the disposal of the government to
use in the purchase of equipment, and
for alterations. The asylum at pres
ent houses 110 lepers, but the pros
poets are that the colony will be
doubled in population in the near fu-
ture, and unless expert estimates are
far wide of the mark, within a wear
or two, a thousand or more lepers
in the United States will be settled
there.

fore 1t adjourned, the Legislature adj
opted the resolution passed a week

ton the Governor refused to recog-
nlze. This was done to make certain
the legality of ratification, because no
joint resolution accompanied the cer-
titled copy of the amendment. Sec

Cutworms Numerous.

Reports are coming into the Office
of the director of the extension serv'
ice TO the effect that the cutworms
are numerous this year, and are doing
much damage to farm vegetable and
flower plants. It should, therefore, be
a matter of much general interest to
know little about this pest and how
to control it.
Cutworms are smooth, nearly naked
caterpillars, varying in length from one
to two inches when full grown. The
species derives its name from its hab-
il of feeding, namely that of cutting
off the Seeding plants near the sur
face of the ground. The creatures
live near the surface of the ground,
and since they are nocturnal, feed
ing mostly at night and are inconsplc-
uous, they are seldom seen except by
bug hunters The caterpillars are
miniature choppers, and can fall many
