THE CORN EARWORM

The yellowish or brownish worms
whose work on the ears of corn be-
comes so noticeable about this time
Of year or a little later, are corn ear
worms. The adult is moth that lays
its eggs on various host plants, but
is especially partial to corn-where
its dirty yellow-white eggs are usual
" laid on the new silk or the young
ear. As soon as Matched the worms
begin to burrow into the ear, where
they do most of their damage.
Unless these worms are so numer-
Gus as to defoliate the whole corr
plant much like the Army worm, it
would not pay to spray or dust any
considerable acreage of field corn. In
the garden, however, where it is de-
sired to protect the few rows of sweet
corn from injury, the worm can be
controlled by spraying or busting the
young silk and ears with arsenate OF
lead. If sprayed on, use two pounds
70 fifty gallons of water. If busted
It is safe to use any standard brand
Of Arsenate of Lead Powder, just as
It is. busting should be done either
early in the morning while the dew is
still on the plant, or in the evening
Since there are several broods q
year, it would be well to apply fresh
poison every three or four days from
the time the young silk first shows
until it is dry.

FARM BUREAU

of the Washington Horticultural as.
ISOLATION at Yakima has been changed
to July 21st and 22nd. The State Po-
tato Grade conference will probably
be held in the same city during the
same week so that interested growers
may attend both sessions on one trip
The lectures and discussions will be
conducted in the rooms of the Yakima
Commercial club and the field trips
will include visits to many of the
more interesting and successful or
chards. This is the first time the
summer session of the Horticultural
association has been held in Yakima
and fruit growers of the Yakima val
ley should make every effort to at
tend.
Delegate to Potato Meeting
George B. Sellick, of Finley, has
been selected as delegate from Ben
ton county to the State Potato Grade
conference which will be held in Yak
ina on some date between July goth
and oath, the exact time to be an
nounced later.
A practical farmer, having been en-
gagged in potato production by mod
ern and scientific methods for several
years, Mr.. Sellick is we'll qualified to
represent Benton potato producers at
such an important meeting. Exper-
fence has taught us. however, that il
is not well to send any man alone
and unsupported onto the floor of a
grade conference. IF delegate is to
do his best work he must be advised
and morally supported by a group of
fellow producers. Potato growers
should get behind their delegate.
Freight Rates
Now comes word from the State
Farm Bureau office that the State
bureau is going to enlist the aid of
the American Farm Fureau fedora
ton in the fight for lowered freight
rates for the northwest. In this work
the farm bureau will cooperate with
the various chambers of commerce and
other commercial organizations OF
Washington and the northwest.
In some of its work the farm bu-
reau has very properly been likened to
a Farmers Chamber Of Commerce"
What is more appropriate and more
within the legitimate field of an or
ganization Of this type, than the join
ing of forces with others to secure
relief on such serious matter as the
prohibitive freight rates.

All ladies are cordially invited to at

The Community club spent a very
pleasant time at the school house, Sat
urday night. After enjoying several
fine selections from the orchestra they
debated the necessity of a new school
building, all agreeing to have one built

served free.

HAPPY SOVIET DELEGATES

A well known newspaper cores respondent comments somewhat cyni- cally on the happiness and the com plaisancy shown by the delegates to the all-Russian Soviet Congress in Moscow. The delegates, from all class es, occupy places formerly taken by members of the nobility, the imperial and the richest of the bourgeoisie. They revel in the results of their four years of what they consider their power. They have the semblance of authority. asserts this observer, and the fact that Lenin's "steam roller" is working in perfect order does not seem to dis tress them. Perhaps they do not realize their inability to accomplish anything they desire They do not know how to go about organizing how to obtain relief from conditions of which they may not approve.
 It may be said in passing, regarding this view of the correspondent men toned, that the steam roller" Is not limited to the Russian Soviet Con gress; that possibly the people repre- sented by the delegates to 1t are as satisfied and have as much voice in the proceedings as have the people in other countries in a few of the actions taken by similar though sometimes unofficial gatherings in other political divisions
 What has been accomplished by this Soviet Congress, therefore, does not seem to have been the work of the congress but rather the labor Of the engineer of the steam rollcr-Lenin He must first get the ap- proval Of the Communist party 10 his policy. This obtained, the congress approves decisions. This is the stua- ton today quite probably, but what of the future? Already the soldiers have been granted more freedom; they are happier; the peasants have their land and the workers are in control eS the factories with propects of a

COASTIEG RULES.

It is of the most vital importance that parents and drivers of vehicles of every description inform them selves as to the streets upon which Coastins is allowed. Parents should see to it that their chldren-and they them selves If they have an occasional feel ing of Backward, turn backward Oh Time in thy flight; make me a child again just for tonight" leads them tC the old bob-sled-shOuld coast only upon the streets designated by the board of public works.
 The signs indicating coasting streets should be posted immediately and tho rule against using streets other than those designated should be rigidly en- forced. IL may ''come hard" for ar officer of the law to stop the little fel- lows and girls in their play but the strict enforcement of the rules may save many from serious injury if not death. The fact is too obvious tC question. It is not however, too evi- dent to dctract from the necessity Of emphasizing it over and over again.
 The thought of prohibiting all coasting may not be entertained. II is too much a part of American child hood. The area in which it is allow ed however. should be restricted tc streets where the travel is light where the drivers of vehicles may have a clear view of the way in front of them, and where there is no possi- bility of the sudden appearance of ( sled carrying a precious load of sma humanity. So great is the danger from this source Of winter pleasure that serious accident seems almost in evitable, no matter how careful arc drivers. if coasting areas are no strictly limited and all precaution! taken.
 As long as coasting is allowed at al on the streets it is due the carefu drivers of vehicles that it be not made utterly impossible for them to use tho street, their own domain, with any feeling Of pleasure.

The following piece of poetry which appeared in the New York World last Sunday has been forwarded to the Herald with the request that it be printed:
 The Wilson Foundation. Send the tidings flying far:
 Men, the finest of their kind, Seek a geater Hall of Fame In this temple of the mind Tribue to a thinker wise, Knowing how and where and
 when Aspirations cannot rise
 Higher than his aims have been! Victory? Through him twas born; Shout the word, lest they forget; Though his faith was hailed with
 scorn,
 God be praised, he holds it yet. Foes may claim the good he's planned Twist it, change it, and again, Still he has the helping hand And the wonder working brain. Halleluiah, it is here!
 Recognition of his worth; Slander now shall disappear, Hate be prostrate on the earth. Let the cities give with joy; Every town and village plan To perpetuate his fame

fair plan with the private ownership insurlng better working conditions, If these benefits have come-and 1t re- mains to be seen If they are real hene- fits in Russia--they have come because of the wisdom of the leaders, II is in- sisted that there is no reaf democracy; voices may not be raised successfully to defeat the plans of the leaders. The communist "spcllbnders" talk of the candidates already decided upon. No voice Is raised in protest, They are "elcctcd."
 There are signs that as the people gain in Knowledge more liberty Is granted them in elections, sometimes held on twenty-four hour notice in factories,
 This situation of today must change as the delegates begin to recognize the power that is theirs if they would but use it and insist upon their privilege, This insistcnce will come when the novelty of the apparent freedom wears off. when they realize the power they felt was theirs but which they have not used. It is a wise leader who looks forward to such a time and %ho will allow, if allow he does, gradual ly growing power in the people aa rapidly as they gain the wisdom to understand, The hope of the Soviet government lies in ability to keep the people satisfied until they are educat- ed to that freedom which is most valu- able in the hands of the intelligent most dangerous if seized by an fig norant mob unaware of the potency of the weapon 1t holds.

 CHILDREhI'S HOME
Minister Says Dr. KlinSberg Rep
 roSentS Practical Christianity

What Moses did for the children of Israel, Rev. pr. J. E. Klingbcrg is doing for the children in New Brit ain," said Rev. John l.. Davis at the weekly session of the Everyman' S | Bible class Sunday morning. The class. which now numbers close to $50 members, is thought to be the | largest class in the state, not con- nected with any individual church. , The Everyman'S class is made up ot men from almost every Protestant denomination in the city.
 Rev. MT. Davis offered as evidence | to corrOborate the Bible records of ancient tablets recently dug up among ruins in the holy lands. These tab lets contained records of the lease of an OK and 9 wagon to a man named Abraham, not the Abraham mention ed in the Bible but a man Of similar name and living in the same period of the worlds history. The lease con- | tained a clause which prohibited the man from driving to Palestine, 1000 miles distant, and which amounted at that time to a years journey. This was offered as evidence by the min | ister that the growth of the gospel 1 was so prominent in that period that | journeys of a years duration to Pal cstine were common occurrence, so common that in renting team to an other man that it was necessary to make him sign q contract not to drive it so far away.
 With the statement that Moses ap peared in the lmelight of the worlds history 75O years later, the pastor, after telling of the attempts of the Israeltes to make brick without l straw, told of an investigation or Egyptian ruins by the president of q Pennsylvania college few years ago. The college president found that as he mounted towards the top of the building the quantity of straw in the bricks grew gradually less and less until at the very top there was no sign of straw at all He told the story of Moses and referred to the latter's sudden rise of anger when lie slew the Egyptian and buried his body in the sands.
 Moses started out to reform the world by killing, thatt the way the bol- sheviks would reform the world, by smashing everything and killing, he
