SQUASH BORER BUSY
DESTROYING VINES
Entomologist Tells How TO Fight This
Dangerous Pest-COver Vines So
They Will Re-rOOt.

AMHERST, Mass, Aug. 4.-The
squash vine borer, the worst enemy of
winter squash in Massachusetts. arrived
early this year, and in some sections is
already beginning its destructive work
Adult moths appeared in the fields dur
ing the first week in July, according to
Harlan \. Worthley. investigator in
entomology of the Massachusetts agri-
cultural eXneriment station, and began
laying eggs. These are now Matching.
and the tiny white caterpillars are bur
rowing out of sight in the squash stems
Growers and home gardeners alike
Ican do much to reduce the destructive
ness of this pest, the insect investiga-
tor advises, by going through the fields
now and covering several joints in each
squash runner with dirt. This action
promotes the growth of roots from the
roots Will often serve to carry crop
to maturity even if the main stem of
the plant be destroyed by the borer.
Much can be done to prevent de-
structive work by the borers. Atten-
ton to the following measures, says
Mr.. Northley, will generally greatly
reduce inigry by this pest:
Il. Do not plant squashes on the
same or adjacent ground two years in
succession.
-. Promote early growth by placing
torkful OF manure under each hill,
ana keep ground mellow Dy frequent
cultivation before plants send out run
ners
3. Cover two or three joints of each
runner with earth to promote growth
of secondary roots.
Il Plow land in the fall, to turn up
the buried cocoons, and harrow in the
sprin~ to destroy any which have sur
vived the winter
| In the home garden, the borers may
| be detected and cut out with a knife.
Begin looking for the "sawdust" and
holes the middle of July Make a slit
both ways along the stem from hole
and carefully spread the stem, apart;
/ The borer viii usually be revealed and
| can be removed and killed Cover the
] cut portion of the stem with earth

President and Mrs. Harding have been
invited to visit the famous links of the
Ekwanok club at Manchester, Vt. by Mr..
and Mrs. W. \. Kicker and would have
liked to so arrange their itinerary to ac-
cept the invitation, but the Presidents
physician has deemed it best for the chief
executive TO confine his vacation in New
England to his visit at the summer home
of Secretary Weeks and it was the wish
of the latter that his guests should re-
main with him all of the time they are
in this part of the country.
President Harding assured his guests
from Vermont that he had heard much
about the 1S-hole course of the Ekwanok
club and that he should certainly play
round of those links before he finishes
his term as president
At luncheon in addition to President
and Mrs. Harding, the guests included
Secretary Weeks and daughter. Mrs. John
DAWN. Senator Hale of Maine. Senator
and Mrs. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey.
Senator and Mrs. New of Indiana. Sena-

appearance to be made by the President
while he is a guest at the Weeks's home
will be in this village this evening, when
he will deliver an address.

persons threatened with indictment and
that he failed to prosecute many cases
from improper motives.

p Maurice and r. L. Fits of Harvey,
Maurice 4 Fits and G. NJ Miller of Bar
berber, Barber & Miller appeared for
the proponents, and Attorney c. s. Chase
appeared for the contestants, who are
distant relatives of Mrs. Niles.
The proponents claim that the will was
drawn by Judge Frank Worden of Halifax
in 1916, by the terms of which the prop
erty of the testator was given to the four
persons as stated above, Forrest Stetson
to receive 81 200, Walter Stetson to re-
ceive $500 George Niles to receive $500
and Frank Fish to have the house and lot,
the residue, except a few small bequests,
to be divided between George Niles and
the two StetSonS. In October, 1920, Mr..
Fish having died, a codiciI was made,
which it is claimed gave the house and
lot to Mrs. Fish.
The evidence of the proponents tended
to show that the will was kept in box
in Mrs. Niles's house, with other papers.
and that in February of this year Mrs.
Niles directed Mrs. May, a neighbor who
was assisting in her care, to take the box
and take care of it if anything happened
to Mrs. Niles. She is said to have told

would be sufficient protection if the
