CUT WORMS

Clemson College.-Cut worms are
the young of a number OF different
kinds of night flying moths or i, mil
lers. The cut worms becomes full
grown about the middle of May. to
the first Of June after which they
stop eating and burrow into the
ground and change into the resting
or pupa stage. From the pupa the
full grown moth emerges and lays
it's eggs on the lower leaves OF grass
and other food plants. They con-
tinue to eat and grow until winter
approaches when they burow into
the ground for protection.
In the spring cut worms attack
almost any kind of young plant that
can be eaten, feeding at night only
eating foliage, cutting off lRaves and
stems, and hiding in the loose earth
or under rubbish during the day.
Upon going into the ground, the
worm sometimes pulls a deaf with it
partially burying it.
As grassy lands or fields covered
with weeds are most liable TO har-
Dor cut worms, such land, if intend
ed for esrn Or other plants that fur
nisa food for cut WORMS, shoah have
been plowed the preceding season.

700 PROHIBITION
AGENTS LAID OFF
LACK OF FUNDS

Washington, May 19.-About 700
prohibition enforcement agents in
various parts of the country have
been temporarily laid off for lack Of
funds to pay their salaries, it was
announced today at prohibition en-
forcement headquarters here.
Failure of congress to provide
$250,000 asked for by the prohibi-
ton commissioned to pay salaries Of
field agents until the end Of the
present year, officials said, necessi-
tated a cut of about two-thirds in
the field forces.

tive control method is IN the use Of
poisoned bait, also known as poison
ed bran mash or bran malt. This is
made a follows: Thoroughly mix
so pounds of bran, two pound of
either parts green, arsenate and
lead or calcium arsenate and three
finely chopped lemons. Stir it TO a
damp mash with four to seven gal
Ions of water sweetened with one
half gallon Of low grade molasses.
Sow sparingly around the bases of
plants or broadcast over the field.
Applied to a field of forage the for
mula given should cover about ff-
teen acres. This poison should be ap-
piled toward late afternoon and not
during the hot part of the day. If
sow1 just before shower it will be
washed off. It. should be kept out of
reach of poultry and other domestic
animals.

quently very practical. The location
Of a cut worm in the soil can general
" be detected early in the morning
by the depression it leaves behind
it in the soil, or leaf partially
pulled in behind it. A few Eainutes
spent every morning for one week
in the garden hand picking produces
remarkable results.

SECRETARY BARNES

Mr.. Geo. C. T. Barnes, Secretary
of the Chamber Of Commerce, was
responsible largely for the Bailey

ANDERSON BOY CHARGED
WITH RAISING 81 BILL
Seventeen Year Old White Boy Con-
feves to Crime. Sole Support
of Mother.

J. C. Dunn II year old white
boy of Anderson has been placed in
the Anderson Jail on the charge of
defacing United States Currency
Dunn freely admits that he attempt
ed to raise a 81 bill to one of a $100
denomination by printing two
naughts besides the figure one in
each corner of the bill, and that he
made purchases at Efrd's store in
tending to pay for same with the bill
that he had raised.
The attempt to raise the bill was
very crude, Dunn using type and
varnish to stamp the figures on the
currency. The boy states that he is
the only support Of his mother and
two children, his father having left
home several years ago, and that he
was in need Of clothing and he pur-
chased $3.50 worth of clothes, off
ering the one dollar bill in payment
The salesman was quick to detect
that there was something wrong
with the bill and a policeman was
called to the store.
When questioned about the bill,
Dunn maintained his Innocence,
saying that he had changed the bill
for a road contractor the morning
before. BE appeared deeply con-
cerned over the future awaiting
anyone yho passed such bill and
asked the officer "what would they
do with a man for. passing such a
bill"
Dunn was brought to police head
quarters and at first refused to be
searched. The jailor and policeman
pulled the boys hands from his
pockets and found that he was con-
cealing a tobacco sack, inside of
which was another sack, this pouch
containing two pieces Of type, which
had been used in raising the bill.
According to officers, Dunn later
admitted that he had raised the bill,
and expressed regret at doing so.-

COMMUNITY HAS NEW IDEA
ing Whole Town Is Said to Have
Had Excellent Results.

All the workers employed by the
various industries located at Kings
port. Tenn, have been insured against
death, sickness and accident under q
single group policy the New York
Times records.
employed by ten large concerns are
thus protected and as the population
Of the town Of Kingsport is estimated
at about 10000. almost every family
in the community will receive a f.
nancial benefit in ease Of accident,
sickness or death overtaking one Of
its bread winning members.
The policy has been in effect for
some months. According to officials
of the insurance company this is the
first instance known where a whole
community has adopted a standard
lied plan of insurance. The expert
ment is attracting the attention Of
many other municipalities, especially
public officials who are interested In
community service.
A prominent community worker has
said that the prospective financial
benefit to be derived by individuals
Under the policy was Of far less Inn
portance than the general good which
has resulted from the Quickening Of
the conscience of the whole Kingsport
community.

ROAD
BUILDING
SEES NEED OF FEDERAL AID
Road Congress FaVors Creation o
Highway Transportation Bureau
Roads Lead to Wealth.

Creation of q permanent national
bureau OF transportation, together
with continuance OF state organiza-
tions, has been recommended as one
OF the most important steps IN the
work OF construction. Without at
tempting 10 seize any credit for them
selves, it is the opinion of highway
officials that such investigations as
had been undertaken IN the several
states of the Union had disclosed an
Immediate economic need for the con
unuance OF the work which has for
IFS basis elimination OF waste effort
in transportation. with a resultant de-
crease of living costs, as an immedi-
ate development OF the vast potential
resources Of the nation now lying dor
mant for want of means of convey
ance.
As a result of the deliberations Of
a meeting in Chicago the committee
went on record as fayoring these
points: The enactment by congress
of an amendment to the present fed
eral aid road act, which would pro
vide $500, 100000 for work on the
reads of the United States during the
next seven years; the creation of a
federal highway commission OF five
skilled engineers who should have
charge of the expenditure of this fund
in conference with the highway com
misioners of the various states; the
construction Of a national system of
highways, the location of which is TO
be determined by the commission and
the supervision of which is 10 remain
in charge Of the state highway de
partments, and, finally. changes in the
present federal aid act which would
do away with the restrictions now
limiting federal aid to roads on 20
per cent of the mileage of which
there is post delivery and of the linn
itition of $4,000 per mile under fed
eral aid.

congested districts of the East,
where the casual observer might be
Iieve that traffic has been fully deveI-
oped, but which close students say
could be geared up to a remarkable
extent through efficient use of the
highways.
In standing by the creation of a
federal road commission, the officials
of the body expressed Cheir belief In
the feeling, now generally prevalent
throughout the United States among
road men, that the time has come
when transportation on the highways
is deserving of more substantial recog-
milton than that accorded ii as a
bureau. which, while ii has been as
efficient as the limitations Of the law
has permitted, would be dignified Il
elevated TO the rank OF a commission,
and would make possible representa-
ton of five different districts Of the
United States with their diverse needs.
AS for the future Of the highways
transport committee. the work already
done by the voluntary organizations
has opened such vast field for re
search in the economic life Of the
country that 1t is believed this work
should be continued as a branch un-
der the proposed road commission by
salaried men who should be experts
in the field, and who would give all Of
their time to a close development OF
the problems which the present COM
mittee has thus far only had tine TO
uncover.
