CHILDS BACK FROM
EASTERN MEETING

Back last week from tour of east
ern fruit sections. Leroy Childs says
that the apple crops of Virginia and
New York districts are of better quail
iLy this season than in normal years.
Weather conditions. he saws, have
been favorable for control of insect
pests and growers of the eastern dis
trcts have begun systems of fertiliza-
tion that are effective.
Mr. Childs made the trip east pri-
marly to attend the first annual inter
national conference of plant patholo-
gists. Leading pathologists from Eng
land, France. Italy and Japan were
present. Sixty of the most prominent
plant men of Canada and the United
States attended the sessions, which
were informal. The men started in at
Staunton, Va. and proceeded along the
Shenandoah valley through West Vir-
ginia, Maryland and southern Pennsyl-
vania, visiting various experimental
plots. Mr.. Childs says he secured first
hand information on number of dis
eases that western districts must guard
against He states that his personal
contact with prominent pathologists
with whom he frequently confers by
letters will be of great benefit. Mr.
Chlds, who visited the departments of
plant pathology and entomology at
Washington. d. c., attended the con
ference as a representative of the Ore
gon Agricultural College.
He says that one of the most inter-
esting sights he saw was in a cherry
orchard on Lake Ontario The owner
of the tract was just completing the
harvest of 500 tons of Montgomery
cherries, for which he was receiving
nine cents per pound. 1t was the big
gest single cherry orchard, Mr. Chllds
says, he ever saw.

Anglers who visited the White Sal
mon river between Husum and euler
Sunday found poor sport because of
muddy water. The river carried a
brackish sediment, due probably to
recent warm weather causing glacial
disintegration and the trout would not
rise to fly or bait. ]. II. Fredricy, C.
C. Crew and r. E. johnson motored as
far as euler. Earl Franz and Wayne
Poland, accompanied by their wives,
visited the Husum district, camping.
"The roads of the district because of
lack of the usual careful dragging, are
becoming badly rutted, says Mr..
Franz. 'But the res dents of the dis
trict can give us of Hood River some
pointers on preparing camp grounds.

POPULAR SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
may Be KIRK'S ASSISTANT
Prof. John Hurst Adams May Be Sc
leCted Assistant County Agent For
Mason County to Serve Dur
ing Summer Months.

1t was learned today that Prof John
Hurst Adams, principal of the Minerva
High School, had been suggested as
the assistant county agent to help
County Agent George Kirk during the
summer months, If the plan now on
foot 20 have the county Fiscal Court
contribute 5000 for the salary of a
Home Demonstration Agent,
The State and Federal governments
make the county proposition that if
the county will pay 5000, annually. to-
ward the salary of Home Demonstra-
tion Agent, they will pay the salary of
an assistant to the County Agent thus
giving the county two men and wo-
man to aid demonstration work.
While it is not likely that Prof. Ad-
ans can be induced to give up his
school work entirely, it is possible that
he make be prevailed upon to spend
the summer months in this work in
Mason county. His enthusiasm and
personality would be worth much to
the farmers of Mason county and 1t is
to be hoped that he will accept the ap-
pointment in case the proposition is
accepted by the county.

SCHOOL KIDS PRANK
PAINFUL TO TEACHER.

On Wednesday afternoon at the
Minerva High School, a student poured
a small vial of sulphuric acid into the
hat of Mrs. John Hurst Adams, one of
the teachers of the school. When the
hat was placed on her head the acid
ran down onto her face burning it
badly. Her hair was also badly burn
ed. The students had been experiment
ing with sulphuric acid on silk and ii
is supposed some mischevious student
thought he would experiment on the
silk lining in Mrs Adams hat. The
experiment was both painful and cost
ly as the teacher was not only badly
burned but her hat was completely
ruined

DR.. A. T. Mccormack Has 81 Warrants
Issued Charging MaysvilIe Water
Company With Maintaining
Nuisance.

Something was finally done this af-
ternoon toward a solution of the local
water problem when DR.. A. T. McCor-
mack, Secretary of the Kentucky State
Board of Health swore to an affidavit
in County Court charging the Mays
Vile Water Company with maintaining
a common nuisance in thirty-one sep
arate instances.
Thirty-one separate warrants we're
Immediately issued by County Judge
H. p. Purnell and will be served on
officials of the Maysville Water Com
pany at once by the sheriff.
Each warrant issued this afternoon
represents a specimen of Maysville
water which was examined at the State
Laboratory and found to contain con-
tamination. These specimen were
taken from June 9th, 1919 up to March
"a, 1920. The cases will probably be
heard in County Court before Judge
u. p. Purnell within the next few days
and the final outcome of these trials
will be watched with much interest by
Taysville's citizens.
DR.. Mccormack also gave orders to-
lay to DR.. ]. L. Rice, Mason County
Health officer, that he take sample
of city water each day beginning with
today to be examined at the State Lab
lratories and for each sample found
contain disease gems, DR.. McCor-
mack instructed DIR. Rice to take out
new warrant. This will be contin-
1ed each day, DR.. Mccormack an
uounced this morning until the Mays
lille Water Company furnishes to the
/ ,itizens of Maysville good and whole
some water for domestic use. DR.. Nc
Tormack also said this morning that
he State Board of Health would order
The Maysville Water Company within
the next few days to install at their
own expense within reasonable
| length of time, a first class filtration
and chlorination plant. These orders
of the State Health Board will be serv-
ed on the Maysville Water Company.
DR.. Mccormack says, just as soon as
Captain C. N. Harrub, who is now in
Tennessee, gives the State Board of
Health figures showing what would be
reasonable length of time for the
Maysville Water Company to install
the filtration plant.
In an interview with the Public
Ledger this morning DR.. Mccormack
said that it was at no time the inten-
ton of State Board of Health to force
! the city to build filtration plant at
their expense but the State Board
was endeavoring to have the city take
such an interest as to take the lead in
| forcing the Water Company to install
such a plant. Inasmuch as the city
/ has failed to take the lead, DR.. Nc
\ Cormack says the State Health Board
will take the lead and that they will
devote the major part of their time and
if necessary, their funds, to this effort
until Maysville is given pure and
wholesome water.

These gentlemen come to Maysville
particularly at this time on the matter
of continuing the Mason County
Health department but they will prob
ably have other very interesting mat
ters to tax about at the mass meeting
and DR.. McCormack's visit is of very
great importance as it is expected
that he will have something to say
about the local water condition and
Board of Health has not carried out
its promise to COMPEL the building of
a filtration plant in Maysville and
what its plans are for the future in
this respect.
1t is understood that the time has
arrived when something must be done
if the city and county is to retain the
services of its full-time health officer
and its city and county visiting nurses.
Heretofore the money spent by the
State Health Board. the U. S. Public
Health Service and the Rockefeller
Foundation, has been supplemented by
the Mason County Health League but
these outside agencies are now asking
that the county and the city supple
ment the funds they spend here and
that large fund is desired This will
all be explained at tonight's mass
meeting. The Maysville Boys Band
will play a concert at the opening of
the meeting and the public in general
is invited to be in attendance.
