GOOD PREVENTIVE OF VERMIN
All Small, Enclosures Should Be
Cleaned and Disinfected Before
Being Used.

Except in accidental cases, hog lice
are found only on hogs, and they do
not voluntarily leave their natural
host, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. When sepa-
rated from the animal they live only
two or three days. The lice pass
readily from one hog to another when
the animals come in close contact.
Practically all cases Of infestation
occur from contact with lousy ami
mails and not from infected premises.
Under reasonably good sanitary con-
ditions pens, corrals and premises
which have contained lousy hogs are
not a source Of danger to hogs free
from lice.
As a precautionary measure, how
ever, and because it is good sanitary
practice, all small Enclosures which
have contained lousy hogs should be
cleaned and disinfected before being
used for new lot of hogs. The litter
and manure should be removed and
the floors cleaned after which the
woodwork and floors should be sprayed
with a good disinfectant. The coal
tar-creosote dips, diluted in accordance
with instructions on the container, are
suitable for this purpose.

The fight to protect the corn belt
against the advance of the European
corn borer is now to be concentrated
in Ohio, where. according to reports
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, infestations Of the pest
have been found along the entire
southern shore of Lake Erie over
strip varying from six to twelve miles
in width and extending to within six
miles Of the Indiana border. 1t is
at the western end of the lake that the
bOrer also threatens a descent upon
this country from Canada by crossing
the Detroit river. The department
is preparing to reduce its efforts
against the pest in other places and
in cooperation with Canadian and
Ohio authorities concentrate them in

Heavy Infestation in Ontario.
For some months the Canadian
authorities have been combating the
pest on the northern shore of the lake,
where it has gained a strong foothold.
practically devastating entire corn
fields in the vicinity of st. Thomas.
A three-days heavy wind at the period
when the moths were flying is be-
lieved to have blown some of them
across the lake into Ohio.
Every possible effort, it is said, will
be made to hold down the infestations
on the Ohio and Pennsylvania side of
the lake. Farmers will be urged to
cut their cornstalks as close to the
ground as possible, as the insect makes
its winter home in the stalk. For this
reason, too, fall plowing is recon-
mended. The Ohio authorities it is
said. are fully alive to the need for
checking the spread of the pest. and
are cooperating with the department
and conducting work of their own to-
ward this end.

momentous event, Premier BRAND and
his colleagues from France arrived
on the steamship Lafayette, and a
little later Arthur J. Balfour and his
associates came from England. Mr..
Balfour will be acting chief of the
British delegation, because the Irish
negotiations have caused Premier
Lloyd George to delay his departure

companied by the earl of Cavan, Air

With the assistance Of a big ad-
visory committee that was named last
week, the American delegates have
formulated the armament reduction
proposals they will submit to the con-
ference. Details of the plan, Of
course, were withheld for diplomatic
reasons, but it is understood to aim
at a Joint agreement that would oper-
ate tn cut down naval construction
without changing the relative naval
strength of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. The Americans,
r. Is believed, have no definite plan
fer limitation Of land armament, and
!. may be the conference will come
20 no agreement on that matter.
Japan's representatives in the con-
ference were unusually talkative last
week. Besides denying emphatically
the oft-heard charges that the gov
ernment of Japan is an autocracy,
and that the militarists control it,
they let it be known that their plea
for expansion on the Asiatic main
land will not be based on Over-popu-
lation, but on the necessity of obtain
ing the enlarged supply Of raw ma
terials and other resources that will
enable Japan to transform itself from
an agricultural to an industrial ma
ton. The Japanese hold that it is
not feasible to obtain from China, in
the ordinary course of trade, the coal,
iron and other materials which Japan
must have, and in which China
abounds. Therefore, they say, Japan
must obtain concessions and political
control of the mine districts. 1t re-
mains to be seen how the Japanese
delegates will make this claim stand
up, in view Of the fact that Japan

MORE evidently than ever before,
1V1 peace in Ireland is up to Ulster,
If the guesses of the London corre-
spondents are correct. The Sim Fein,
it is said, has submitted specific plans
which the government thinks may be
feasible If Ulster agrees to them.
Consequently, the cabinet asked Sir
James Craig, the Ulster premier, to
go to London for consultation. The
plan, it is believed, provides for the
extension of powers and the demOcra-
tization of the council of Ireland to
make 1t really a national parliament,
with Ulster cOnsenting to come in as
province, retaining its autonomy. The
scheme would call for a plebiscite in
the counties of Fermanagh and Ty-
rome, to determine whether they should
adhere to southern Ireland or Ulster.
So far the utterances of the Ulster
leaders indicate that they will not
countenance anything leading to the
Gminution of the area under the con-
troll of the Ulster government How
ever the Sim ,Fein delegates were very
hopeful last week that a common
sense agreement would be reached be-
fore long.
