these pests constitute q most grievous
and dangerous overload on agriculture,

Must Aid Sterilization.
That sterilization of agricultural rro-
duction, which Is highly desirable FROM
the standpoint of business as well as
of the producer and the consumer, can
only cone when farmers generally are
able SO to shape their paintings that,
with normal weather, the acreage
planted will produce the approximate
quantity required to meet the consum-
ing demand. Until this is accom-
plished, seasons Of shortage with
prices painfully high to the consumer
are certain to be experienced. Along
with these will come years of Excess
sive production Ia which the producer
is compelled to bear destructive loss
because prices are below the cost of
production. For the correction OF
this destructive alienation of too lit
tie and too great crop production the
development Of effective control of
plant pests Is one Of the most impOr-
tant factors.

Dead.

With a rusted single barrel shot
gun lying by his side, the body Of
an old man was found in the brush
mile, each Of town by Miss Lillian
Armbruster Of this city Tuesday
afternoon. Since childhood, Miss
Armbruster has been accustomed to
hunting and fishing, and Tuesday
she .shouldered her rife and went
out deer hunting. 1t was late in
the afternoon when on her way
home that she saw what she first
fought was scarecrow lying in
the brush near an open field. She
was about to pass on when she no.
ticed that the supposed scarecrow
had on G God pair of shoes, and
this caused her to do what probably
few women would do under the cir
cumstances she approached and
made careful examination, and after
satisfying herself that the object
she saw was the body of man, she
carefully noted the landmarks about
so as to be able to find the spot again,
and came on to town and reported
her discovery to the authorities.
About o'clock in the evening, Judge
Savage, Chairman Johnson, Drs.
Tartar and Johnson, Ed. Goulet, Geo.
H. Dargie, Elmer Armbruster and
Miss Armbruster drove out there and
Miss Armbruster had little difficulty
in directing the party to the spot.

s When q plant disease or some other

see how dangerous these pests are
both to agriculture and 70 the coun-

Take Heavy Toll on Crops.
But spectacular and widespread de-

only harm worked by plant diseases.
Every season and in substantially ev-
cry important producing section they
take heavy toll on crop production.
Their existence without control con-
stitutes one of the chief hazards which
the farmer encounters, increasing his
cost Of production and ultimately the
price which consumers must pay.
1t has been difficult to determi. >
even approximately the amount OF
damage done by plant diseases, but
very careful estimates recently made
by the Psychologists of the state ex-
pertinent stations and the Department
Of Agriculture indicate that In 1919
the production of ten Of the important
cereal, fruit and vegetable crops was
reduced more than 650,O00,OOO BUSH

Within that envelope was a re-

Further examination of his papers
disclosed that he left another mes

reasons which impelled this disheart-

death and to become is own exc

velope which contained his citizen

Value Of Community Play.

Community play Is being promoted
by local governments because 1t has
been demonstrated to be a practical
business proposition. City officials ac-
cept as an axiom the statement that
the leisure hours of the city must be
either an asset or liability. The peo-
pie Of this county have about bill
lion hours day to pass outside Of
work and sleep. In this leisure time
most Of the crime, vice and delinquency
