FAIL TOLOCATE
BODY OF BOY
DROWNED
Continue Search for Harold
Levasseur Who Fell Into
Sleepers River

Search was resumed today for the
body OF Harold LeNasseur, 3 year old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Levasseur
Of No. % Railroad street, who was
drowned in Sleepers River shortly
after two o'clock Monday afternoon.
Although members of the fire and
police departments and volunteer
workers searched until late hour
last evening without success, it was
hoped that with the receding of the
high waters, it would be possible to
locate the body sometime today.
The accident occurred while the
child, with Sherman Woods, year
old son of Nj. and Mrs Raymond
Woods, who reside Oh Railroad street
nearly across from the Levasseur
residence, was playing on the banks
of the stream few rods from the
Pine Street bridge. The two children,
i was said were i'll the act Of
throwing sticks into the water when
the Levasseur boy lost his balance
and tumblcd in.
So far as is known there were no
eye witnesses of the .ccident with the
exception OF the little Woods
yCungster, although Miss Mabel
Stevens heard the screams of Sher
man Woods but by the time She
reached the river bank the body had
disappeared from sig.t. As she rush
ed from the house, Miss Stevens said
she could discern an object being
carried swiftly down stream but she
could not definitely determine
whether it was the body Of a child.
Miss Stevens picked the Woods boy
up in her arms and carried him to her
home a few rods away and endeavor-
ed to get from him a story OF how
the boy got into the water. Sherman
was pretty badly frightened and UNI
able to relate a coherent story. He
could not tell his name nor where
he lived. He said, however, that he
and Harold were playing on the edge
Of the river and throwing sticks into
the water when the latter slipped and
fell in. 1t is believed the swift cur
rent quickly carried the body down
stream.
A call was sent to police head !
quarters by Miss Stevens, who then
set out to locate the Woods hov'S |
home. He said he lived near the Fair !
banks plant so Miss Stevens started !
in that direction When they h9|
reached Western Avenue thew met f.
Mrs. Perry Fitch and Mrs Levas
seur, Seeing Sherman f1one and |
knowing someone was in the river, /
Mrs. Levasseur quickly realized it
was her child
The children are said to
have left home shortly be-
fore noon without letting
any one know their destination. They
took a short cut and went first to
the Fairbanks plant and commenced
playing in that vicinity until sent
away by workmen. From there it l.
believed they went to the river bank.
Chief of Police John Finley, Pa
trolmen Gerry Coburn and Thomas
Wallace and members of the fire de
GaItment rushed to the scene to drag
for the body. Paul Gilman secured .
large boat, which he brought to the
liver, but which could not be used
because Of the swift current. Crap
pling irons and pike poles were used
out to no avail.
Today the searchCrs were working
'urthcr down the stream in the vici-
nifty of the St. Johnsbuly Gas Com
oany's plant.

KALE AND WILD
MUSTARD ARE
SERIOUS PESTS
May Eradicate These Weeds
by Spraying with Sui
phate of Iron

(By NJ. V. Barnes, County Agen)
Kale Cor wild radish) and wild mus
tard are two Of the most serious
weed pests in Vermont. They are
very similar to each other and but
few can tell the difference. The
kale leaf is somewhat thicker and
more indented than the mustard and
lies a little close to the ground. A
much more important difference how
ever is in the seed pods, those of
the kale being divided into segmentS
which break up easily and scatter
seed, while the mustard seed pods
split lengthwise to disperse seed. For
this reason it is harder to screen out
kale seed from oats as pieces of the
seed pod will not go thru.
One Of the first things to consideu
in getting rid of the weed is not 70
sow if. If nronerly screened and
famed seed had always been used
there would have been no kale in Yer
mont Cases have been known where
kale seed has remained in the ground
30 years and then produced a crop.
Too many precautions cannot be used
to keep such a weed Off our land.
The most effective way of eradicqt-
inc kale and mustard is bv spraying
with sulphate Of iron (copncras).
Take 80 oal. barrel half full of
wate" 7"d dissolve in II 100 lbs Of
lI'or Sulphate. Then fill it up and
skin off the brown scum on top end
strain into the spray tank. This
amount should be enough for one
acre. Il should he applied in a strong,
spra' which will cover the leaves
comnletely.
The time to applv is when the kaIo
has developed four -permanc,,tl
leaves. When it first corle up it has
two leaves similar TO radish leaves,
bnt these should not be counted. p
killino these four leaves the nlant will
not have enough vitality left TO srr-
vive and will be crowded out by the
grain. If the spray is DELAYED until
six leaves have developed, enough Vi
