GET RID OF CUTWORMS BY
USING POISON MIXTURE

Ordinary cutWoTms which attack
such plants as cabbage and beets
cannot be controlled like worms
which eat the foliage of plants, and
many farmers and gardeners have
considered an outbreak of these
worms as meaning the end of their
crops. However remedy has been
discovered and J. r. Watson, ento-
mologist of the Florida Experiment
station. strongly recommends it's use
in Florida.
In speaking of the remedy, its prep
aration and application, Professor
Watson says, THE mixture should be
thoroly damp but not sloppy so that
it will fall in fine flakes when sown
broadcast over the field or garden.
1t should be put out after sunset so
that il will remain moist all night.
If sown properly, it will fall in small
flakes that will not be dangerous to
poultry and other birds.
This poisoned bait is composed of
bran 20 pounds, eottonseed meal 5
pounds, paris green ! pound. (Dif-
ferent amounts may be used but it
all should be in the same proper
tion.) Mix these thoroly while they
are dry and then add 2h gallons of
water and 2 quarts of syrup. Broad
cast or scatter the mixture along the
rows or about the bases of the plants
to be protected"
Cutworms are the almost hairless
caterpillars of several species of
moths. Their eggs are laid mostly
on grass in heavy sod land. The

FEED DAIRY COWS ONLY
THE VERY BEST OF FEED
Specialist Urges Dairymen Also to
Feed Cows to Capacity in Winter
Because of Increased Demands

The use of high-grade feed and
special efforts to obtain the maximum
milk production in winter, are urged
upon Florida dairymen by Hamlin l..
Brown, extension dairyman of The
Florida College of Agriculture.
Winter is the time when the de-
,nand for milk is greatest in this
state and it is only by the wise use
of high-Erade feed that the greatest
amount of milk can be secured, ac-
cording to this specialist
Because low-grade feed happens to
be a few dollars ton cheaper is no
reason for it's purchase and consump-
ton by the dairy industry. Prof.
Brown says this is poor economy.
"A dairy COW converts all of her
feed into milk except what is need
eu to run the animal machinery" de-
clares the extension specialist. "The
capacity of a good dairy cow TO pro
duce milk is only limited by the
amount of feed and water she can
consume in a day. The higher the
quality of tbs feed, the greater will
be the quality OF milk produced.
TOO many three-gallon-a-day cows
get only gallon-a-day ration
The dairy man who practices feed
ing low grade, cheap feed, get about
the same result as the man who tries
to run an automobile without gaso.
line.
"On the other nand, there are too
many poOr-quality cows usel rs dairy
cows. DarymeD will profit by killing
their s2tubs and beef cattle for beef
and feeding the good mlF produ"ere
to full capacity with high-quality
|home-miXed dairy feeds"
According to many reports this
state is at the threshold of becoming
one of the greatest dairy states of the
nation. The only obstacle to the
states crossing that threshold is Ihe
use of and the proper care of pure
bred, high-grade dairy cattle.

NiutiIating Pepper Trees

Complaint is made that the pepper
trees in the parkways along the side
walks are being mutilated and dis
figured by people cutting off their
branches for purposes of decoration.
Their berries give them a striking
resemblance 10 the holly tree, but,
with their green leaves and brilliant
red berries, they are more beautiful
than the holly. 1t is contended that
these pepper trees are for the purpose
of making the town beautiful, that
they are a public and not a private
ornament, and their foliage and ber-
ries should not be used for private
purposes.

Report Officer John M.

Given A Denial

Reports were current on the street
Monday that Officer John M. French
had resigned as a member of the po.
lice department Sunday evening fol-
lowing an exchange of words and the
use of strong words between himself
and Mayor keisley.
According to statement made by
Mayor Keigley the report of the pa
trolman's resignation is unfounded
saying French neither had resigned
nor had he been requested to resign.
That he had spoken to the officer in
criticism in a matter was admitted
by Mayor Keigley but it was intimat.
ed that 1t was of but passing moment
and not of enough Importance to
cause the officer to resign os the
mayor to ask for his resignation.

Plea For Dry Cause


Mr.. Sanford, who is not stranger
in Mt. Vernon, spoke along the recog-
nized dry lines in presenting his ap-
peal to his auditors. He said that it
was only as the people understand
what is involved in the election on
the wine and beer amendment can
they hope for victory at the election.
The charge was made that the pro-
ceeding is frame-up to bring back
the saloons and to tie the hands of
the law enforcement officers.
The minister recounted at consid-
cradle length what he called proofs
and evidences of the purpose of the
vets to nullify and destroy constitu-
tional law. The claim was made that
three per cent beer will make child
drunk and will intoxicate an adult if
taken in sufficient quantity. Adop-
ton of this amendment by Ohio will
mean that this state sets herself up
before the world as a nullificationist
Ine erect Will be 10 break down law
enforcement in Ohio. Cases could be
brought only in the four federal
courts in the state which quickly
would become congested. Adoption
of this amendment by Ohio will open
the fight for the election of wet
Congress.
1t was at this place that Mr.. San
ford recited the circumstances of the
assault made upon him earlier in the
evening. He closed his address by an
appeal for subscriptions to carry on
the work of the Anti-Saloon Leagne.
The benediction was spoken by DR..
