generally during the past few days
over Texas. louisiana, and Mississippi
the United States Department of
Agriculture announces. Apparently
very widespread infestation is de-
veloping, which may later spread to
the northern and eastern States Of
the cotton belt.
Where infestation becomes acute
it is advisable, says the department
to dust the cotton with calcium arse
nate diluted with one or two parts OF
lime or eundiluted lead arsenate.
Four or five pounds should be used
to the acre. II Paris green or London
purple are used either of these sub.
stances should be diluted with aboutS
to ten parts of lime, in order to avoid
injury to the cotton plants.
The leaf worm is the larva Of o
tawny moth( Alabama agillacea)
having wing expanse of slightly
more than an inch. This is not pres
ent in the United States every year.
but frequently 1t migrates from the
tropical regions to the south OF as
where 1t pas ses the winter. If it arri-
YES in this country fairly early in the
season. considerable damage may
result from the defoliation of late
maturing crops of cotton. On the
other hand if its appearance is late
in the resulting defoliation is often
beneficial as it hastens the ripening
of the cotton bolls and cuts off the
food supply Of the boil weevil.

CLEVELAND,

Cleveland, April 13.-Steel mills
and automobile plants in the dis

operations as being caused by the
demand for automobiles. Steel men
are anxious over the coal strike
situation and fear present business
expansion may be checked as a re-
suit of fuel shortage.
Operations at the Chandler and
Cleveland automobile plants are
reported on the uptrend, and while
officials decline to give definite fig
ures. the fact that the Fisher Body
company OF Ohio, which supplies
enclosed bodies for the Cleveland,
Chandler and Chevrolet cars. is
working at capacity, is evidence
that these local companies are
building large number OF cars.

KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City, April 13.-Fear OF
damage to crops from floods and
cold weather has been relieved bv
return Of clear warm weather n
this district. Swollen streams are
subsiding and the snow storm in
western Kansas earlier in the week
did not reach eastward to the
fruit belt Some localities suffer
ed from freshets OF a local charac-
ter but the only general effect has
been delay in spring plowins
due to condition of the ground
Three more days Of warm weather
will remedy this.
While conditions are on the up-
grade in this section and conf
dence is growing steadily, ctual
progress is slow Retailers per-
ticularly are complaining over the
smallness OF the Easter trade.
This has been due, it Is thought,
largely to the weather conditions.
Prospects for fruit crops in the
Arkansas Valley have not been so
promising for several seasons. The
wheat acreage in Kansas this
year will be far less than usual.

with salts occasionally. says noted
authority who tells US that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken, then you suffer
with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness. your stom-
ach sours, tongue is coated and when
matte. twinges. The urine gets
cloudy. full OF sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids.
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here: take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia. and has
been used for generations to hush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates. thus ending blad-
