Tarantula Bites Store Clerk at
McGregOr.

Prairie du Chen Courier: Miss
Dorothy Brown, clerk in Kendrick' s
grocery at McGregor, was bitten by a
tarantula while cutting bananas from
a stalk the other day. The huge
spider bit her on the arm and had to
be pulled off. A physician immedia-
tely applied remedies and cauterized
the wound, from which the singer
had to be first removed, but in a
short time the poison had extended
up in her arm, across the back and
down the other arm. Her case is not
considered hopeless, however.
A live speciman of the Tarantula,
which is an extremely large and
deadly poisonous spider. was recent
1y on display in the window of The
Groceteria Co., in this city. Grocery
clerks always keep a sharp watch for
these big spiders when they are hand
ling bananas.

17-Year Locusts Appear Near
Here.

Blanchardville Blade: Woods along
the banks of the Rock river and
about the county farm near James
vile are filled with the 17-year To-
Gust. Trees are being denuded of
leaves and the ends of branches are
dropping off where they have been
cut by the insects. Thousands of dis
carded shells of the insects are found
about the ground in the edge of the
wood and in the fields adjacent.
The seventeen year locusts have al
so appeared in large numbers in the
vicinity of Spring Green.
The locusts have also invaded
Green county and the operation Of
the strange bugs is very well seen i'm
parts of Spring Grove, Decatur, and
Avon.
The locusts have a cycle of IT
years they come out of the ground in
swarms and eat leaves of trees. The
female lay eggs, while the male bug
makes strange chattering noise.
The eggs are deposited in small twigs
beneath the tender bark. The eggs
hatch a small worm which goes into
the ground and becomes something
else. After cycle of II years the
thing comes forth again as a locust,
does it's damage and then does not
appear again for about II years.
Hence the name-17-year locust.

More Salaries Increase Than
Decrease.

In Dane County the rural teachers
salaries reported for next fall, up to
date, show minimum salary of
$4,000 and maximum of $4,000 a
month. State graded school salaries
run as high as $162.50. The super
intendent reports that more rural
school salaries are being increased
than decreased. The result, of
course, is that Dane county is not on
the market for many rural teachers.
They are keeping their teachers and
reducing their turnover. Reports
from other counties of rural salaries
are:
Grant County-s75-$150
Columbia County-SS0-$135
Kenosha County -$100-S150

Lime Chases Acidity Away
From LA Crosse.

They are chasing Mr.. Soil Acidity
up and down the coulees of Lacrosse
county!
Limestone is the club that the
farmers of the county. assisted by w.
E. Spreiter, county agent, are swing
ing vigorously. Carload after car
load of ground limestone has already
been applied on the soils needing it
and the drive is on.
LA Crosse county farmers appre-
ciate lime. 1t has made good in the
county" says Spreiter. "Some 81
carloads were shipped the past year
in addition to the large amount from
local crushers and quarries. One
farmer showed his faith by applying
lime to 800 acres last year"
''Lime is making good the claims
for it by farm scientists. This fact
is proved by one farmer up on the
Brice Prairie in the northwest part
of the county. He bought four cars
of lime for the first year-after see
ing his results he bought two more
cars the next year. The third
year found him again spreading two
carloads on his place. You can best
appreciate the way he feels toward
the lime when you drive by the place
and see his crops-and see some of
his neighbors' fields, without lime"
