BELIEVE EGYPT OUGHT TO SETTLE QUESTION
 AND NOT BRITAIN
Five Members of English Parliament Express Opin- ion In Regard To Present Situation of Country.

London. Dec 3-A report on the present situation in Egypt has just been issued by five members of par liament-Major Harry Barnes. Wil- liam Lunn, J. Lawson, J. F. Mills and John E. Swan. who visited the coun try in September and October, as representatives of the Egypt Parlia rBertary Committee.
 "In our opinion, the future consti- tuition of Egypt they say in their report, lis a matter for the Egyp- tians to decide and neither for us nor for our government to dictate.
 The solution of the Egyptian ques- ton depends, the report states, on the detailed application Of the fol- lowing principles:
 That the Egyptian poepIe have the right to self-determinaton and com plete Independence and that any t-saty should, while providing neces- British and other foreign interests, not in any way prejudice that right.
 That the delegates to negotiate the treaty on behalf of Egypt ought to tives of the Egyptian people.
 That for the securing of the free election of such representatives, mar tial law and any other rc2ressive measure should forthwith be abolish ed.'
 The members recommend that the British government advise the pres ent Prime Minister Of Egypt that an election be forthwith held in that country.
 ITO drift is disaster" says the re- port In the interests of our coun- try we would strongly advise the gov ernment to enter at once upon the course necessary to put itself into negotiation with representative Egyp- tian opinion in a spirit of good will. We earnestly trust that our visit may help to bring about settlement in the form of an alliance between two free and independent peoples

NOTHING UNUSUAL
ABOUT HOT SPELL
(By Associated Prcss)

Louisville, Ky, July 9-There

Not only is there nothing I'M
usual about the hot spell, accord
ing to Mr.. Kendall. but the av-
cragc temperature of S7.2 in
Louisville for he past five weeks
is not record. In 1914 the av-
erage for the month of June was
1913 degrees and several times in
the fifty years the station has
been located here the 1921 figure
has been exceeded.
"There is nothing unusual
about the present dry hot spell"
said the meter ologist. except
that it started early in May. a
month or so earlier than usual.
This is not the hottest period on
record Since the weather bureau
was started nearly fifty years
ago, by any means. In 1914
there was a long hot spell and in
June the average temperature
was S9.,5 degrees. whereas the

ample time to become accustom-

Mr.. Kendall said that he look

ARSENATE OF LEAD
FOR TOBACCO WORMS

Tobacco hOrnWOrmS which us
ually give tobacco growers con-
:. siderable trouble at this time. OF
the year are best controlled by
arsenate of lead which. should be
used instead Of Paris Green, ac-
cording to Fl. II. Jewett, Of the
College of Agriculture. Expert
ence has shown that arsenate of
lead adheres to the plants longer
| than Paris Green does; that it
may be used-in unsettled or rainy
weather; that is rarely Injuries
tobacco even when used in eX-
cessive amounts and that its use
is not attndeL by any irritation
, to the operator.
Tobacco hornworms hiber-
nate in the pupal stage during the
winter and the adults appear
from the first week in June to
about the middle Of August. Be
cause Of this long period during
which adults emerge from the
over-wintering pupae there is q
confusion OF broods OF worms in
the fields in thu latter part OF the
season. However. there are two
, distinct broods. The maximum
number of worms is reached by
! August 10.
"Arsenate of lead is applied to
the tobacco by means OF dust
gun. When the gun has a fan
less than ten :nches III diameter
, the arsenate Of lead powder
should be mixed with an equal
bulk or more pf dry, sifted wood
ashes. A thorough and even APP
plication of the poison is neces-
sary to get good results. The
busting should be done when
there is no breeze, either in the
evening or in the morning when
dew is on the plants. \ active
operator can dust several acres
in one day
"Thc first application OF the
poison should be made when the
worms become too numerous to
be kept in check by hand pick
ing. Poison the worms whei'
they are small. not more than a
week old. Two applications OF
the poison should be made to the
| tobacco and even a third of the
worms are ABUNDANT Under av-
erage conditions from three to
five pounds Of arsenate of lead
to an acre is sufficient for one
busting depending on the size Of
the plants and worms This
means actual a1senate of lead and
not the mixture
Effective control of tobacco
worms depends upon the grade
of the arsenate OF lead used. 1t
should be guaranteed to contain
at least so per cent of arsenic
oxide OF which not more than
per cent is free or water soluble. "
