NEGRO SUMNER SCHOOL

The summer normal held here
for the past "a days was perhaps
the most profitable and successful
in the history of the county and
community. Despite the backward
ness Of crops, due largely to the
unfavorable weather conditions, full
ly 10 persons were enrolled as
teachers, coming from st. Francis,
Lee, Phillips, Desha and Monroe
counties.
D. w. Hughes, the director, de-
serves the highest commentator
for the excellent system maintain
ed throughout the session. He had
the work so well organized that
each teacher could be classified and
begin work without delay.
The instructors were well select
ed and did their work with credit
to themselves and satisfaction to
those who were taught.
Aside from the regular routine
work of school, a course of lee
lures dealing with the various
phases of community life was given
by some of the prominent business
and professional men the teachers
being required to attend and take
notes. Each lecturer proved him
self specialist in the phase of life
which he chose to bring before the
normal.
Among the many able lecturers
who appeared in the series, were
the following: Chas. Mckee, presi.

thrift and economy. The speaker

KILLS THE PLANT LICE

Damage to cotton by the cotton
louise or cotton aphis, which threat
ened the cotton crop in Polk coun-
ty during the cool damp season re-
Gently, is being checked now by the
natural parasites of the cotton
louise, according to w. j. Baerg, en-
tomologist of the College of Agri-
culture, University of Arkansas.
Mr.. Baerg was called to Polk
county by the county agent, o. l..
Henderson, to investigate the cause
of injury to cotton. Mr.. Baerg
found that cotton had been dying
of plant lice, but that warm wealth
err and parasites had killed the lice
and cotton plants which were not
entirely dead were beginning to re-
vive. With the fair and warm
weather continuing, no further
sever damage will be done by the
plant lice.
The parasites which kill the
parasites are small wasp and the
well known ladybird beetles. The
female wasp deposits eggs in the
of the plant lice. From these eggs
hatch small maggots that feed on
the body contents of the lice with
the result that the lice die when
the maggots are full grown. A hole
can been seen in the abdomen of
the dead lice where the parasites
have emerged as an adult wasp.
Ladybird beetles are familiarrin
the adult stage but are not so well
known in the larvae and pupal
stages. The larvae is flat-bodied.
spindle-shaped, one-fourth inch in
length, and red and black in color.
The larvae prey upon plant lice just
as do the adults. When grown the
larvae fasten themselves to a leaf
or lower part of the plant and go
into the pupal or resting stage.
The resting stage lasts from three
to five days when the adult beetle
appears. The pupal are oval in
shape and black and red in color.
