lMPROMPTU PROGRAM
is SPLENDID SUCCESS

The Impromptu Program given at
the hotel on Sunday night, May 2,
was in every way highly satisfactory.
The Juvenile Orchestra opened the joI-
lification with splendid music. lis
ten to the Mocking Bird sung by the
children's chorus, was a, treat, indeed.
A flute solo BY Comrade Sutton was
rendered in a masterful style. Prof.
Martins accompaniment on the piano
greatly enhanced its charm. Comrade
jacques splendid dialect declamations
delighted everyone. Miss Trixie Ewell
supplied a charming piano solo and re-
sponded to the expressed appreciation
with an encore Of equal beauty.
Rachel Jaques recited long poem
and gave evidence that she is a chip
from the old block. Mrs. CantreIl gave
vocal solo, accompanied BY Miss
Irixie EwelI. A song that struck re-
sponsive chord in every heart. Every
one always likes to have Mrs. Cantrell
sing. Miss Erma Tiede, accompanied
by Miss Trixie Ewell. sang a vocal
solo and encored with another. The
Misses Margaret Seelye and Beulah
Gaddis, two Of Llano's finest girls. de-
claimed ''Maude Muller in the old
and in a new version, and contrib
uted materially to the success Of the
evening. The adult chorus gave two
songs. and did very well. We must not
forget the fine defamation from Com
rade Burton. He is either a naturally
born or a highly-trained elocutionist.
/ a choice selection rendered by the or
chestra gave a fitting finish TO an ex-
ceptionally fine entertainment.

PARISH DEMONSTRATORS
AT AGRICULTURAL MEETING

ii
Miss Minerva Pearl LeFevre, parish
demonstrator, lectured at the NewlIano
schoolhouse on Friday night, May 5th.
Her subject was the protection Of or
chards and growing crops against in
sect pests and mould and other plant
diseases. The Importance Of small
things is very likely TO be disregarded.
We are surrounded and our very being
is affected By myriad Of life Of which
we know but little. Although every ef-
sofs asaese to reduce die yayages of
insect pests to minimum, it is estimate
ed that annually the destruction caused
amounts to over billion of dollars.
The cutworm, the boil weeY;l, the to-
bacco beetle, the cinch bugs, the Hes
sian fly, grasshoppers, and bugs of ey7
| cry kind and degree are busy day and
night. There are said to be more than
than $4,000 different insects already
classified and described, but as it
would take up too much space in this
paper we will moi print the names Of
all of them. In his never-ending effort
for life and supremacy, it will be a
great assistance to man. if he will aid
and protect the birds that live upon
insects. AS a particular insect is par
tial to some one plant, rotation Of
crops is a great help. especially If
something is selected wholly unrelated
to the former crop. The field should
be kept clean of trash that may serve
as breeding place for insects. AS
many insects pass the winter in the
soil. it is also good plan to plow deep
lin the fall and expose them to the n
gors Of heavy freezing. where the win
tier is favorable to this treatment.
MANY insects live on weeds before cuI-
ltivated crops make their appearance,
and BY keeping down weeds and other
plant parasites. much can be accom-
.lplished.
When the writer lived in Santa Clara
county, California, he remembers j
lfruitgrower who burneI open fires in
his orchard at night and destroyed
night-flying moths and insects BY the
millions. In summer time he has seen
many kinds Of insects. greenbugs and
moths attracted by the electric lights
at Kansas City, Mo-, and in the morn
ling the pavement would be covered
with millions Of them. In Bavaria. il
lis reported, an open fire connected
with suction arrangement not only all
tracts insects and destroys them, but
also converts them into valuable fer
ltiIizer.
Miss LeFevre advocated spraying
with different preparations, rotation
Of crops and freedom of fields from
all trash as necessary precautions.
Her statements were listened to with
close attention and she gave much ex-
lpIanatory information in response to
questions asked at the close Of the
meeting. The members Of the Colony
highly appreciate her lecture and are
glad to learn that on the first Friday
night in June she will discuss Dairyiing.
