Painter Sculps
For PickfOrd Doll
OtHRIsTIAN Won sCHNEIDAU,

0HRISTIANsVO SCHNEIDAU,
painter of international re-
nown. has suddenly become
a sculptor. all because Mary
Pickford decided to put a doll on
the market.
When Miss Pickford decided to
go into the doll business as the
result of ans insistant demand on
the part of the countless children
who worship at her shrine. a
representative was dispatched to
Europe to search for a sculptor
of worldwide fame who could DO
a bust of Little Mary from which
the Pickford dolls could be model
led. Although eight sculptors
tried, none was able to register
that elusive spirit which seems
to have endowed Mary Pickford
with eternal youth.
Then came Christian Won Schnei-
dau, now residing in Los Angeles,
who stands in the front rank of
contemporary painters, having
won honors and awards which
usually come only to artists much
his senior in years as well as in
point of service with palette and
brush. 1t has been said by
critics that the boldness and yiril-
ity of Won Schneidau's canvasses
suggest the qualities Of sculpture.
Although he had done practically
no modelling since leaving school.
this artist decided to undertake
the task. with the result that he
has produced a life-size bust of
the celebrated screen star which
is startling in it's resemblance.
1t is estimated that a million
dolls a year will be produced from
this likeness. Through an in
genious process of reduction a
perfect resemblance will be OBJ
tanned in the dolls head. Every
effort is now being made to get
the Mary Pickford doll on the
market in time for the Christmas
trade.

Here the tone is different. The

means nothing here-less than
nothing. We have had enormous
successes from London and they
have lasted a week or more in this
cline. Imagine London going wild
over such a farce as "A Little Bit

why certain plays succeed abroad

the American playwright was a

FAIRS SHOULD EXHIBIT EVIDENCE
OF HOW n. D. GRASSES PROSPER

Trick No. 1: Select the tallest, leaf
lest plants in the field at time when
they are about one-third in blossom
in the case of alfalfa and red clover.
In the case of sweet clover, select the
tallest plants that you can find that
are just in the bud stage, or slightly
past the flower bud stage. In the case
of timothy, bronze grass, and other
grasses, select heads that are we'll
headed out. Cut about five times as
much as you think you will need to
make the 6-inch bundle. Spread it
out in sheltered place where it will
dry quickly without loss of leaf.
Trick No. q: Don't let rain or dew
fall on the prize bundle that you are
preparing to make.
Trick No. 3: Prepare the bundle
while the hay is little tough. If it
gets dry, let it lay outdoors over night
to tougher, and then prepare the bun

uniform length; trim the butts neatly (;

from the butt, and about ten inches
from the tops. Trim off all extra
cord, and then tie neat yellow or
green ribbon, not more than an inch
wide, about the bundles Mt the points
where the cords are holding, thus con.
cealing the cords. Make this simple
band without bows or other frills. If
ribbon is not available, use only plain
cloth or plain white or green cord.
Trick No. a: After the bundle is
prepared, hang it up where air circu-
lates freely until it is thoroughly dry.
Trick No. 5: After bundle is well
dried, wrap it in paper or cloth to keep
out the light and hang in secure, airy,
place, away from birds or mice until
ready to send to fair Pack it so that
the stems and leaves will not be

COMBATING THE
CUCUMBER BEETLE
DR.. Il. L. Webster

The striped cucumber beetle is one
of the most dangerous enemies of the
cucumber, squash and melon plants.
The adults destroy the plants as soon
as they get above ground and the grubs
feed on the roots of the same plants
should they survive the injury from
the beetles. Usually the eating of the
leaves by the beetles is the injury
noticed, although the destruction Of
the roots by the larvae may be fully as
serious. The plants are gradually
weakened, finally wilt and die.
No single method of combating this
insect is completely efficient. The best
single method is spraying the plants
thoroughly with lead arsenate paste,
used Mt the rate of to pounds to so
gallons of water.
Air Stacked lime mixed with sulfur,
tobacco dust and other similar pre-
parations, thoroughly busted over the
infested plants on the upper and lower
leaf surfaces, does much good by him
dering the activities of the beetles.
This must be often repeated, since the
beetles return to the plants as soon as
the offensive substance is blown or
washed away.
Where the beetles are known to- be
abundant, put In few seeds of early
squash around the edges Of the garden.

WHITE HOLLAND is POPULAR

Excellent Qualities.

The white Holland turkey, while not
so common as the bronze variety, is
nevertheless widely raised and ex-
ceedingly popular. People who keep
them long enough to get familiar with
their qualities and characteristics
generally prefer them to any other
breed.
The origin Of the white Holland is
not known, according to writer's on
poultry, but 1t is believed to have been
developed by breeding white birds Sc
lected from other breeds, which appear
occasionally MS among chickens and
are clAssed as sports" 1t seems quite
certain that they did not come from
Holland or the Netherlands. 1t has
come to the front as distinct breed
since about 1890. The standard

REMEDY AGAINST LAWN ANTS
EntomoIoeIsts Recommend Drenchino
Nests With Boiling Water
or Using Kerosene.

To get rid of lawn ants entomolo-
gists of the United States Department
of Agriculture suggest drenching the
nests with boiling water or pouring in
small quantity of kel osene oil. Sim
liar treatment may be applied to nests
between or beneath paving stones
Spraying the lawn with kerosene
emulsion or with very strong soap
wash is also recommended. For large
ant nests disulphid of carbon injected
into the nest by means of an oil can
or small syringe is recommended to
kill the ants. The fumes of disulphid
of carbon have very dlsagreeble
odor and are infammable, but they
are not injurious to higher animals In

ACID SOILS FOR
CRANBERRY CROP
Extension Workers Discuss Ad.
vantages and Drawbacks of
Industry in United States.
PREPARATION IS EXPENSIVE
All Trees and Roots Must Be Re.
moved From Marsh and Burned,
and the Fields Graded, Ditched,
Diked and Sanded.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Cranberry culture is recommended
las profitable industry under suitable
conditions and in certain climates by
specialists of the United States De-
.partment of Agriculture. At recent
conference of extension workers the
possibilities, advantages and draw
backs in cranberry growing were dis
-cussed.
The bulk of the present cranberry
crop is grown on the acid soils and
peat bogs of Massachusetts,, parts of
New Jersey, and New York, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, and near the mouth Of
the Columbia river in Washington and
Oregon. Some cranberries are also
grown in the mountain districts in
Virginia and West Virginia.
Preparation Expensive Process.
Preparation of the land for cram
berry growing Is an expensive proc
css. All trees and roots have to be
Iemoved from the marsh and burned,
and the fields graded, ditched, dyked
and sanded. Before the war, swamp
land could thus be cleared and pre-
pared for about $500 to $500 per acre.
AT present prices of labor and ma
terials this work will cost anywhere
from 5000 to $1,000.
The ground must be suitably To-
-':ated and prepared carefully because
1t is important to have a good water
supply and good drainage facilities.
The water is also used for controlling
insect enemies. 1t Is necessary to have
: n reservoir from which the bog can
be flooded. In New Jersey some grow
ers say that leaving some weeds in the
bog is not Objectionable as they sup
ply shade for the plants. In Wiscon-
sin Indians from the reservation pick
the berries. In New Jersey thousands
of Italians come out to do the pick
ing. In Massachusetts Portuguese do
most Of the work.
Ward Oft Pests and Diseases.
1t is essential that the cranberry
grower be prepared to ward off in.
sects and diseases, both of which are
very destructive. In New Jersey,
where conditions are favorable for the
development of certain fungous dis
eases, proper spraying with bordeaux
mixture was found to control the dis.
ease and is generally practiced.
Ordinarily, the price of cranberries
per barrel is from Sc to $40, although
during the past year as much as SAC
per barrel was obtained for small lots
The number Of barrels produced pei

to 100 or sometimes 200. A reason.
