10 GROW PLANTS FOR
The ENTIRE COUNTY
County Agent OF Cecil Count! Plans
To Grow Tomato Plants For EnIire
County acreage.

College Park April 24.-Tom2 tG
! plants for an entire county is the an
! bition of County Agent A. d. Rade-
! laugh, Cecil county. who in coopera-
| ton with the growers has planned a
| large seed bed at Chesapeake City
| where plants will be grown Is one
means of solving the difficult probe n
Of increasing the yield per acre OF
this important canning Eouse crop
without materially increasing the
cost of production.
According to W. R. Ballard, spec.
ialist in vegetable gradenng for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service. who has visited the rapidly
developing project at Chesapeake
City. the plan OF the county agent
and the Cecil county growers is t.
secure good vigorous plants which
may be ss=t out in the field at a da,e
considerably carrier than is custom
airy.
.EXpef! Gaents have shown that the
early set plants of the Stone variety
of tomatoes have yielded from two
% three IONS more per acre than
plants of the same variety set in the
field late in the season." says Mr..
Ballard. The University of Mary
and Extension Service has been re-
commencing early planting as one
neans of increasing the yield per
acre The disadvantage IF the prac-
ice. howaver, lies in the fact tina.
he vines frequently begin producing
before the canning houses open. The
,'ecil county plan of growing the
plants comparatively on q large scale,
however, should offer a very prac
tical method of overcoming this OBJ
lection because II will supply uargc

plants ard should thus make it pro-
Gtable fot the canning houses to open

Newspaper Errors.

1t has always been a favorite pas
time of a certain class of readers tc
comment on the number and the
character of errors which creep into
newspapers.
Every editor knows that errors
stand out like a circus billboard after
the paper has gone to press, and ii
does not add to his peace Of mind to
know that everv reader will find
them.
Perhaps there may not be so many
errors, comparatively, In newspapers
after all. Lee A. White of the De
troit News, after investigation, says
there are not.
Mr.. White says that newspaper
producers make only one error ou'
of possible $3.50 carefully noted
which is a record hardly exceeded by
any other business.
Newspapers are produced under
conditions that contribute to the
probabiltyfof errors Of varNus kinds
mostly typographical, and 1t Is Wor'
thy Of mention that errors are rela'
lively few.
Readers of newspapers who are
disposed to unkind criticism may wei
consider if they, with so many op'
portunities for errors presented
would be able to quit the field WITH
record of only one error out o.
$3.50 chances.

tion with the boards of education.
1t is matter of interest to note
that the council plans to extend its
tests Of eyesight into other cities
and towns of the nation in co-opera-
ton with boards of education.
The Hoover committee has dis
covered that many industrial workers
have defective eyesight, and many
serious accidents have been traced
to this cause.
If defects in vision are discovered
early in the lives of children, they
may be overcome by scientific treat
ment before the defects have become
permanent. Much Of the difficulty
found in teaching many children in
the public schools may be traced to
defects in vision or to causes other
than mental deficiency.
Boards of education may we'll give

important a matter as conservation

INVESTMENT in SUGAR CANE.
Sum of $248, 8,657 1852 in Industry in
Three Refineries in Louisiana,

According to a report from Wash
ington, the census bulletin contain
ing the detailed figures for the do
mestic sugar industry which was
made public recently, contains much
valuable information on the sub
ject which is of interest to growers
as we'll as manufacturers.
The bulletin is now available for
free distributions 1t shows:
The capital invested in the cane
sugar industry when the 1919 census
was taken was I$248,657,952. of
that amount $193,54O,825 was in
vested in cane sugar refining. There
were twenty plants engaged in re-
fining cane sugar. Of these New
| York had five, Pennsylvania, four,
Massachusetts,, two, New Jersey two,
| Texas one and Georgia one.
At the time the census was taken
$55, 5,117,127 was invested in the in
dustry outside of refining. The
greater part Of that sum is invested
!! in Louisiana, since that state has
189 of the country's 202 sugar
houses.
Outside of refining the cane su-
gar industry employed 7045 persons.
The employment is intermittent,
however, as the industry pperates
at maximum capacity only in Novem-
Der and December. In January en-
ployment is "A per cent of the max
imum; in February, rs per cent; and
in March II per cent, April is the
low point of the year. The number
of persons employed does not exceed
10 per cent during any month until
October, when the figures show the
employment to be AL per cent of
the maximum.
In the entire cane sugar. and cane
sugar refining industry there are
eight plants employing more than
1000 wage earners: seven employing
25O to 500; sixteen employing fifty
to 100; fifty-five employing twenty
to fifty; fifty-nine employing six to
twenty; fifty-five employing one to
| five wage earners. Five establish
ments reported no wage-earning en-
| ploees.
There were thirty plants the value
of whose product exceeded $1,O0O,-
900 in 1919. This compares with
eighteen plants having an output in
excess of $1,0O0,OOO in 1914. There
were twenty-eight plants with value
of output ranging from $50O,000 to
| 81, 100000; eighty-one plants rang
ing from 100000 to $5O0,000;
thirtytwo plants ranging from $780,
900 to 100000. seventeen plants
ranging from $4,000 to $2O,0OO:
thirty-four plants whose output is
valued at less than $4,000.
Of the 222 establishments in the
industry in 1919, 119 were operated
| by corporations, sixty-fve by indivi-
duals and thirty eight by partnerships
and other forms of ownership.
The industry employed 154,402
horse power of primary power in
1919 and consumed 100000 tons
of coal, 2,741,665 barrels of fuel
oil, and 154,277,000 cubic feet of
gas.

PEST KILLING SEASON ON.
Entomologist Tells How to Destroy
Caterpillar or Army Worm.
VOLUME Ii.

According to Thomas H. Jones,
entomologist of the Experiment Sta
ton at Baton Rouge, the "cotton
CATERPILLAR" 'cotton worm or
"armv worm" has made it's appear
ance in injurious numbers in some
of the cotton fields of Louisiana
earlier than usual this year and be-
cause of this he says that it is es-
pecially advisable that it be control
led BY poison. The cotton caterpil-
lar can be poisoned easily by dusting
the foliage with an arsenical poison,
such as arsenate of lead, calcium ar
senate or Paris green. For best re-
suits this work should be done when
the worms first appear and while they
are small. They often first appear
in low, moist places and it takes
about three weeks for them to be-
come full grown. After the cater
pillars of one brood have ''Webbed
up" another brood may be expected
to appear in about two or three
weeks.
Mr.. Jones says that while poison
can be busted on the plants more
evenly if a dusting machine such as
those used for dusting against the
boil weevil is used the poison can
be busted on the plants satisfactorily
by means of cloth sack. busting
should be done when the dew is on
the plants, either in the morning or
evening, as the poison will stick bet
Ter and there IS not so much possi-
bllity Of wind blowing the dust
ayay. If Paris green is used about
Two pounds per acre should be ap-
phed, while if arsenate of lead or
calcium arsenate is used about twice
as much is advised The amount to
use will depend somewhat on the
size OF the plants. Paris green is
apt to burn the foliage and for this
reason 1T is best to mix it with equal
parts of dry, fine, slaked lime. The
ADDITION of another equal part of
hour also tends to make the Paris
green stick better.
foWdered arSenate of lead or cal
cum arsenate can be applied undi-
iuted. They are both preferred over
rafls green because there is not
Me danger of burning the foliage
and they stick better.
IN busting do not let the sacks
toach the wet leaves or otherwise
set wet. The poisons recommended
are POISONOUS to- man and animals
an "neh taken internally and ordinary
iaIe should be taken in using them.
Icy as little as possible of the poison
