Watch for Chinch Bugs

Some reports are coming in
that chinch bugs are going now
from the wheat fields to the corn,
There are two or three things
that might be done TO hold this
insect in check. One way is to
get all the weeds and grass off a
strip between the corn and wheat
fields and then on the ground
pour liquid gas tar or very heavy
road oil In a strip along this bare
ground. having holes dug IL to
l8 inches deep 20 to 80 feet
apart along the side Of the tar
next to the wheat field. Anoth-
er way is to pIow a deep furrow
along the field throwing the dirt
toward the wheat field having
post holes in the bottom of the
furrow to trap the bugs. If the
bugs are already in the corn and
you wish to kill them and do not
care to injure the corn eomewhat
they may be sprayed with kero-
seDe emulsion. chinch bugs cam
not be poisoned on account of
the way they eat. Call the
Farm Bureau Office for further
information in detail regarding
this work.
Spring Pigs Not Doing Well !.
A few formers have reported
that their pigs are not making
the growth they should and do
not seem to eat right. IL your
pigs are in this class it might be
they are suffering from stomach
worms and one of the simplest
Of the worm treatments might
straighten them out alright, at
least it would not do them any
harm. We skpow Of two Or three
cases where this has proven very
satisfactory. One Of the simple
home remedies recommended by
the veterinary department of the
college is to use 6 grains of SAN
tonin, A grains calomel, 5 grains
bicarbonate of soda for each 100
pounds weight of hog. Feed
this in a thin slop after the hogs
have had no feed for "a hours.
1t Smay be necessary to repeat it
in a week or ten days. Right
now is a good time to look after
this matter.
Alfalfa
We saw two fields of alfalfa
last week growing where the
neighbors say alfalfa will not
grow. One Of these fields is on
a farm 8 miles northwest of
Brunswick and the other is about
the same distance southeast Of
Salisbury. The reason for this
success is the use Of limestone
and some manure fertilizer.
Fields like these are certainly
worth trying to get. If we can
grow 5 tons of alfalfa per acre
in one season the feeding value
of one acre is equal to almost all
the timothy hay taken from q
field Of 10 acres. Better give
this matter consideration before
August 18th and see if you hav-
emit got q small field which you
Ecan prepare for alfalfa seeding.
at this time.

ience truck that is coming to
Charlton County about the 2lst

A MARK TWAIN GOOD ONE.

In his early days, Mark Twain, the
author of TON Sawyer" and "Huckle-
berry Finn" was editor of a small
town newspaper. One day he received
a letter from a superstitious subscrib-
er. saying that he had found a spider
in his newspaper and asking whether
it meant good or bad luck. Mark
Twain wrote as follows:
Finding a spider in your paper was
neither good nor bad luck for you.
The spider was merely looking over
the paper to see which merchant was
not advertising, so that he can go to
that store, spin his web across the
door and live a life of undisturbed
peace eve afterwards"
Are spiders commencing to weave
their webs in your doorway? A sure
cure for cobwebs is customers-and
advertising in your local newspaper
will bring them to you in increasing
numbers. This isn't theory or CUFF; it
is as capable of as precise proof as
that a man named Harding is Presi-
dent of the United States.
The Mark Twain story may be old,
but it is always newt will be fresh
as long as this continues to be a wide
awake world.

HOW ABOUT A TREE PLANTING
CLUB?

Why not a tree planting club for
Pleasantville? What better communi-
ty effort than planting trees? Is there
not a bare spot or an unsightly one
that can be cleaned up and planted to
trees? Maybe w can have a tree for
every youngster in town? Suppose a
tree be planted-and named-in a
community park for every boy and girl
in this city? What would be the re-
suit 25 years from now? AS the Am
erican Forestry Association points out,
the tree is a lifetime proposition.
In big cities thousands of dollars are
being spent to get more breathing
places and more trees for the city's
thousands, but we can turn a town
woodlot to good account as well as
have a community park. In European
countries they have town woodlots or
town forests that keep down the taxes
because these woodlots, working quiet
ly year in and year out, sell the sur
plus timber for lumber, CRATE wood,
stove wood, and other things. We
hear a great deal about buying your
coal now" There is not a community
in the country that would not welcome
the intelligent cutting of a town wood
lot almost any winter. The woodlot
with the farmer is almost a thing of
the past. The American Forestry AS
ISOLATION is booming this proposition
everywhere.
Take a look at Pennsylvania. At

State. orests of PennsSs~an iA; that
is. an average of more than one mill
lion per year. In other states, partic-
ularly New York, Massachusetts and
Connecticut, many million young white
pine trees have beer planted on barren
waste land.
Many of the trees comprising the
older plantations have reached a size
of 20 to 80 feet in height. The growth
during the first few years is rather
slow, but each successive year it be-
m greater, until the annual height
growth reaches two to three feet, and
in exceptional cases it may be as high
as four feet in a single season.
Tree planting time nears again, and
the American Forestry Association
will send you free tree planting sug-
gestions and a program whereby the
tree planting can be started as a great
community movement. The following
