Union Vesper
Summer Services
Methodist and Presbyterian
I Churches To Unite Each
Sunday.

| Beginning next Sunday evening,
July 4th, the congregations of the
Methodist and Presbyterian Churches
will hold Union Vesper Services al
700 p. M, standard time, alternating
between the two churches. Sunday
evening Rev. John Duncan will speak
to the theme "The Greatest Thing in
America" and the service will be held
in the Methodist Church. Bright, wide
awake, interesting services are assured
with music featuring. The preachers
who have this in hand and who are
working, to the delight of the public,
hand in hand and heart to heart, be-
lieve that amid the jangling voices
heard today in argument over world
issues, political, social, economic, edu-
cational, religions, etc., there is heard
the answer, in the midst of the con-
fusion, that the christian religion, un-
derstood and believed and applied, is
the only solvant of human ills. Hence
these aggressive plans for these sum-
mer Sunday evenings.
1t is hoped we will soon have the
privilege OF listening to the fine SER
mons the famous preacher, who resort
at Sequanota each summer are capable
of giving, and which East Jordan peo-
pie have so enjoyed in the past.

FARM BUREAU NEWS

We are very pleased to note incli-
nation on the part Of most of the far
mers to fight the grasshopper pest this
year. They have appeared in large
numbers from some eight TO twelve
miles farther west than last year. The
results obtained from the poison bait
method last year substantiates our be-
lief that crops and seedlings can be
saved by its use, but it will not give
results unless it is presistently, con-
sistently and intelligently used. The
cheap grasshopper poisons that have
been used in former years, are extre-
mely hard to obtain. We have had no
money with which to buy them early
and are doing our best to secure sup
ply at this time. In the meantime, the
only poison We can recommend that is
just as good is paris green. II will do
the work but is more expensive. II a
few dollars invested in paris green will
save your seeds ii is a mighty good in
vestment. You cannot afford to lose it
whatever the cost. This is the method
Of mixing the poison bait.
THE POISON BAIT
Mix dry one bushel OF sawdust and
one pound Of poison. Dissolve a scant
pound of salt and half-cup of black
strap molasses in gallon of water.
Mix with the sawdust and poison and
add all the water 1t will take without
running off. Scatter this as you would
sew grain wherever the hoppers are
beginning to do damage. Better dc
this the last thing at night so the bal,
will be ready for the hungry hopper
in the morning. II will not do the
work after il is dried out.
Remarks:
Old sawdust Is better than fresh
sawdust. Paris green and white arse
mic are the kinds Of poison to use. Dc
not use arsenate of lear or arsenate o.
calcium they will not give satisfacrtor,
results.
