FRIDAY, JANUARY q, 1921.

The Albany Argus, which has been
published for more than
a hundred years, and for much Of that
time has been the leading morning
paper OF Albany, suspended publlca-
ton today and what business it has
will be taken over by the Knicker
booker Press During the past year
over thirty prominent city newspap-
ers have suspended publication and
been consolidated with other papers
in the same field, while in smaller
cities the number has been many
times larger The scarcity and high
cost of paper for the past two years
has been one Of the reasons but 9TH
er costs in the printing trade have
been fully on par with the increase
in paper and the combination has put
the balance on the wrong side in hun
dreds Of newspaper Offices. 1t is
freely predicted by some claimed ex-
Iperts that during the next twenty
years the newspaper publishing bust
ness will be largely concentrated in
the larger cities, much the same as
industrial business now is. We doubt
this theory but there is reason to be.
lieye that thousands of weaker publ.
cations will 80 out of existence un.

When spring opens it is likely that
there will be a movement from the
cities back to the country towns. Liy-
ing costs in the cities are growing
worse in spite of the lowering Of
prices in many Ines. Short hours
and increased ray in the building
trades, strikes, lockouts, and corrup-
ton, dishonest contractors and black
mail have raised prices So greatly
that few houses are being built
While The landlords Of those now
there have taken advantage Of the
situation to raise rents to figure
that is not much less than grand lar
ceny. Meanwhile in nearly all the
country districts and smaller villages
the number OF vacant houses has
steadily increased for the past five
years. Already there is a movement
back to the simpler and less strenu
Gus life outside the big cities. How
far It viii 80 can merely be guessed
az but a decided trend toward rural
lie would prove a distinct blessing.
a nation Of cities is never as strong
and enduring as nation where eity
and country are fairly balanced. The
Vermont legislature now in session
should take action to aid in reflling
the thousands q deserted homes IN
the rural towns Of Vermont when the
time comes and the movement to the
country gets fairly under way. 1t is
one of those opportunities for deyel.

CoLORADO'S CORN CROP
DAMAGED BY CORN ROOT
WORMS AND CORN ROOTROT
This Years Damage Only Fractional
Part of Damage Which Will Fol-
low Unless Preventative
Measures are Used.
Poisoned Bran Mash Effective Eradi-
Gator.

Numerous enquiries received at the
office of the State Entomologist indi-
cate that the Colorado corn root worm
is doing serious damage to corn being
grown on land which was planted to
corn last year. Apparently much of
the corn root rot that is being report
ed in the state is really the work of
this corn root worm.
The larvae of worms of this insect
eat off the corn roots and burrow into
the crown of the cornstalk just be-
low the surface of the ground, so
weakening it that the corn makes a
feeble growth and is easily blown down
by the wind, says C. p. Gillette, State
Entomologist, Colorado Agricultural
College.
These root worms are white or yell
lowsh-white in color, with black head
and black spot on the last segment
of the body. They are from eggs that
were deposited at the bases of the
cornstalk last August and September
and only attack corn grown upon land
that was in corn the preceding year.
The remedy, then, is never to grow
corn on the same ground two years in
succession.
The adult insect is small stripped
beetle, very closely resembling the
cucumber beetle so well known in the
Middle and Eastern States. During
the months of August and early Sep
.tember, if it is present in large num-
bers. it. may be noticed flying about
In the corn patch and may often be
found feeding upon the tips of the
ears or even upon the silk of the corn.
Farmers thruout the state who dis
cover the presence of the corn root
worm are urged to notify the state
entomologist or their respective coun-
ty agents at once.

uses fund entrusted to him by Susie.
She finds it out, and hints that 81

consents to marry her He is about
to yield when Eelen Dunlop appears.
Years before she had been Tilted hy
Tam, but loves him still Susie leaves
in rage, and the next day denounces

gins to pull the strings. She restores

Thresher Burns.

A smut explosion Monday afternoon

of wheat for Mr.. Curtis.
Mr.. Hayes had been threshing on

explosion came, throwing the straw
men from the stack and swathing the

DENIES RUMOR OF
ADDITIONAL FUNDS
DR.. Brown Discounts Report
of Special Legislative Ses-
sion for Schools

Denial of the rumor that a special
session of the Legislature might be
called to consider the allowing of
more money to the public schools was
made yesterday morning by DR.. 7. R.
Brown, president of the State Board
of Education.
DR.. Brown explained that there was
no doubt in his mind but what the
State Board would be able to get
through this year with the funds al
ready provided, with the possible ex-
ception of the janitor service. He said
the Legislature in making up the
budget had cut the amount asked for
janitor service to $50 room and that
is not sufficient. The budget allows
but $4,000 for janitor service in the
entire State outside the special dis
tricts and DR. Brown does not see how
it is possible to get along on less than
$44 for that item.
The situation, DR.. Brown thinks,
will be clarified as far as New Castle
and Kent counties are concerned if
back taxes due in those counties are
collected. This would give the board
additional money that could possibly
be diverted to the janitor fund, but
this would not relieve the situation in
Sussex county for this item as school
taxes collected in one county cannot
be spent in another county. Just how
the money to provide proper janitor
service in Sussex county is going to
be secured has not been figured out.
Under all the circumstances it
seems evident that the school author
tiles do not consider the situation such
as to warrant them even asking for a
special session Of the Legislature.
