Passing Of Aunt Lucy Drew

Lucy Ann Boycan was born in
Southampton, Va, December 18,
1854, and passed away at her
home in Laclede, Sunday Febru-
ary 13, 1921, at 200 o'clock.
She was born in slavery but
with her mother and two sisters
and $50 others, was set free in
early life and sent to Jefferson
and Belmont counties in Ohio,
where they settled. Her mother
and two sisters preceded her to
the grave many years ago.
In 1882 she was married to
Jacob T. Drew by Rev. Benz.
Mitchell at Mt. Pleasant, Ohio.
To this union five children were
born none of whom are living.
In 1885 MI. and Mrs. Drew came
to Laclede and established the
home where she died.
Lucy Drew lived a christian
life, was a faithful wife, a good
neighbor to all, visited the sick,
both white and black, and al
ways had a cheering word for
weary travellers on life's journey.
Funeral services were held at
the Baptist church Tuesday
afternoon, the services being
conducted by Rev. Ralph Craig,
interment being in the Laclede
cemetery by Director Thurman.

School Program

Perhaps the largest crowd ever
assembled on a like occasion in
Laclede, attended the meeting
of the Parent Teacher Associa-
ton at the high school building
Wednesday evening. Mrs. E. E.
Gould, president of the associa-
ton, directed the program given
by grade pupils, the numbers
having to do with the flag, the
life and character of Washing
ton and Lincoln. The pupils,
directed by their teachers, all
did fine, even to the smallest tots.
Rev. Hoff showed a large
number of picture slides, all be-
ing along the line of the speak
ing and singing part Of the pro-
gram.
Some of the needs OF the
school were enumerated by Miss
Trippeer, superintendent, and
Rev. Hoff made talk, pleading
for a closer community. spirit
and a more enthusiastic school
spirit.
Mrs. Gould explained the work
of the association, urged every
parent to become member, and
a committee to raise
funds to purchase some needed
equipment for which no school
funds are now available.
More of these meetings should
be, and we believe will be, held
in the near future.
During the social hour coffee
and sandwiches were served.

The Seed Catalogs

Great, deeds of gradening are
performed in February under
the parlor lamp, through the in
spring medium of the seed
catalog. Many people at this
time lay out elaborate campaigns
of cultivation. When you see
those rotund and highly colored
pictures of garden and orchard
fruit, it seems an easy and de-
lightful thing to run a garden.
The fruit of your garden may
not have the fulsome beauty of
the catalog pictures. But if
your plants have been well cared
for, the product will have all the
marvellous beauty that attaches
to the works of nature. You
will feel even happier with the
fruition of September than you
do now with the anticipations of
February.
Remember incidently that the
merchants of Laclede can give
you the best qualities of seeds,
and you don't need to send
away for the same.

CONTROL OF COOLING MOTH
EntomoIogists Find That Arsenate Of
Lead 10 More Effective Than
Nicotine SuIphate.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Nicotine sulphate Is not as efficient
In the control Of the codling moth as
powdered arsenate of lead, it has
been shown in experiments conducted
by entomologists Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. For sew
eral years nicotine and Its compounds
have been used against certain soft
bodied insects as contact insecticides,
and within the past few years 'the
question has been raised concerning
the effects Of nicotine sulphate upon
the eggs and early instars Of other in
sects which are commonly controlled
by other means. To obtain reliable
information on this subject the depart
ment entomologists conducted a series
Of experiments both In the laboratory
and field, a report Of which has just
been published In Department Bull
letin 938.
In the laboratory tests 1t was found
that nicotine sulphate, with one excep-
ton, was inefficient against the eggs Of
the silkworm moth, codling moth, tus-
sock moth and potato beetle. The
eggs sprayed with II were variously
affected depending upon the strength
Of spray solution used, on the age Of
the eggs tested, and whether or not
the solution contained soap. Upon
the eggs Of three Of the species Of in
sects used there was practically no
difference In the effects between solu-
tions containing soap and those with
out soap, although those with soap
were much more effective upon the
eggs Of the tussock moth.
Comparing the effects Of the spray
solution, 1880, the strongest Of the
economic solutions used, the percent
ages Of eggs sprayed with 1t that
failed to hatch are az follows: Ninety
nine per cent Of the freshly laid eggs
Of the silkworm moth, but only IS per
cent Of the older eggs Of the same in
sect; about 20 per cent Of the codling
moth eggs on apple tree foliage: 70
per cent Of the tussock moth eggs Zone
to three days old) I; and about II per
cent Of those Of the same insect which
had been collected In the field; and
practically none Of the potato beetle
eggs. f
The field work was conducted by the
department entomologists during the
season Of 1917 In three important ap-
pie regions Of the United States-the
lake region Of Benton HarbOr. Mich.

standing is shrinkage. A shipper who
sends fruits or vegetables to market
cannot understand why his shipment
should weigh so much less on arrival
than 1t did at the point of origin. Thus
the invoice weight Of car of bulk
apples shipped from southwest Mis-
sour. on October 16, 1914, was 22,427
pounds. These apples arrived at mar
ket on October %, and were re-
weighed, barreled and sold. The
weight Of the apples at destination
was 1871 pounds. Indicating a loss
Of 4.456 pounds, or 10 per cent. due to
shrinkage In transit and to the
discarding at a. small quantity Of
