Sixteen Indicted
Heard Next Week
Smuggling Charge

Pensacola, Nov. 4.-Colorful sto-
fies of liquor-laden boats sailing
from Cuba under cover of darkness,
the budding of Celestials in dilapi-
dated shacks along the waterfronts,
and the daring episodes of smuggling
operations, are expected when c. B..
Moore, of Crestview, former detec-
tive; J. H. Owens, farmer-banker Of
Laurel Hill; Charley Suey, a wealthy
Chinese of Apalachicola, and thirteen
others, are called fro trial at the fall
term of the federal court here next
week.
The indictment of sixteen persons,
alleged to be members of a well-or-
gamzed ring of Chinese and liquor
smugglers, was made public here on
the first of August.
Moore, the authorities claim, was
head of the ring. He was owner Of
the schooner Success, whchi, it is al
legged, transported both liquor and
Chinese from Cuba to the shores Of
Florida in Choctawatchee bay. The
ultimate destination of the Chinese
is said to have been Philadelphia.
Louis Wing, alias Guam Yick, who is
charged with being the proprietor Of
the inland clearing house for the HUI
man cargoes, will appear here for
trial.
C. C. Williams, a conductor on the
Apalachicola Northern railway when
the smuggling was said to have been
carried on, is included among those
named in the alleged conspiracy.

the United States senate to succeed
Senator Charles Culberson, left Dali

Mr.. Nickels carried with him a
copy of the writ of error for which
application was made before the fifth

morning, together with copies Of the
court orders and motions in the case.
He declined to make any statement

PLANS TO CONTROL EROSION
Culyies Cause Of Considerable Loss by
Washing Away Fertile Soil
Ways to Reclaim.

The gully is one of the things that
keen rain from being an unmixed bless
ing to the farmer. That it is an in
convenience and causes damage is
obvious, but in Farmers Bulletin 1884
"Gullies-How to Control and Reclaim
Them" by c. E. Ramser, just issued
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture, it is shown that loss is
produced in 10 different ways, and that
the most important is the washing
away of fertile soil that can never be
returned.
After discussing the different types
of gullies and their causes, the bulle-
tin, which is illustrated with photo
graphs and drawings, goes on tc de-
scribe in detail methods Of controlling
erosion, such as plowing in and seed
ing, planting trees, and building dams
of various kinds. BY following the
suggestions and plans farmers should
be able to prevent further erosion In
most cases and to reclaim badly gul'
lied land. In some cases expensive
structures such as concrete walls are
needed. but usually inexpensive ma
terials-brush, straw and stones-are
recommended.

HOT FORMAL LDEHYDE IS BEST
Potato Growers interested in Method
Because It Saves Time and
Is Effective.

Many Minnesota potato growers are
Interested in the hot formaldehyde
method of treating potato seed be-
cause it saves time, is less poisonous
than corrosive sublimate, does not cor
rode metals, and Is effective for both
scab and rhizoctonia.
The solution is made by mixing two
pints of 40 per cent formaldehyde to
80 gallons of water. This is heated to
a temperature between 118 degrees F.
and 122 degrees F. The potatoes are
dipped in the solution for two minutes
and then dumped in pile and GOV.
cred with a canvas cover or sacks for
one hour. They can then be dried OF
cut and planted Immediately. For
maldehyde, when used without heat
Ing, will not control rhizoctonia and
requires one and half hours soaking
for best results in control Of scab.

Hessian Fly and Wheat-Insert Shows
Adult Female, Greatly Enlarged.

If it has stunted plants upon which
small brown seedlike bodies are at
tached to the stalks, the fly IS prob
ably present in the pupal or FLAX
seed' stage. These brown seedlike
bodies can be found below the surface
of the ground between the leaf sheath
and the stem of the plant. Within a
few weeks small gnatlike flies hutch
out, laying a second crop of eggs which
result in the spring brood of flies.
The Hessian fly has four stages in
its life. The egg, the maggot, the
pupal and the fly. 1t is the maggot, a
white, tlaky worm, about one-fifth OF
an inch long, that does the damage
If the plant survives the first attack
there is a chance of considerable dam
age resulting from the second crop,
which eat the stems and cause the
grain to lodge and lessons the grain
production.
Wheat that is badly infested with
the Hessian fly ought to be plowed un'
der, as it will not amount to anything
as a crop and will only serve as a
Matching ground for further crops
Often some parts of the yield only are
affected and the farmer may use his
Judgment as to turning under only q
part of the field.
Where volunteer seedlings of last
years crop are detected containing
Hessian fly they should be plowed un
der at once. If there are any suspi
cious signs Of the presence of the IL!
in the fields the entomologists urge
that samples be sent to the state en-
tomolOgist for examination.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Deadly gases that were developed
for war purposes are now being trleu
out by the United States Department
Of Agriculture as a means for Destroy
Ing noxious birds, animals, and insects.
Some Of them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrowlhg
rodents, and possibly subterranean ln-
sects and pests in stored products.
Kill Destructive Birds.
The most recent proposal is to use
Gas TO kill destructive birds that con-
gregate In marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, in co-opera'
ton with the chemical warfare serV-
ice, is planning to make a trial OF the
method on blackbirds in the Imperial
valley of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least S0O,'
600 worth of damage 70 the milo crop
each year. Because Of their feeding
habits it is impossible to destroy these
birds with poisoned bats, but, as they
roost on the reeds in the marshes, II
is thought that they can be killed by a
gas cloud at night when the wind Is
favorable. The blackhirds are mlgra'
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t IS thought that a
big killing in a certain locality Will
probably free it Of the pests for many
years. A few other birds in the black
bird-infested marshes will be killed al
the same time, but the department be
lieves that these local birds will soor
reach their normal numbers again.
Try Gas on Rodents.
Arrangements also are being made
by the biological survey with the chem
ical warfare service for Investigating
the possibility Of using poison gases
on such burrowing rodents as rats
prairie dogs, ground squirrels, an(
woodchucks. Tests on pocket gOpher'
and ground squirrels by these two co
The Bienville Democrat., 1922-05-18

operating branches of the government
in California show that chlorine may
be used with good results if handled
properly. The chemical warfare serv-
ice used phosgene on rats in Porto
Rico with promising results. Some OF
these war gases will be compared with
carbon bisulphide for the killing Of
woodchucks and other rodents in their
burrows.
Entomologists of the department
have already worked in cooperation
with the War department In testing
various gases on insect pests Of gro'
Ing plants and those that infest stored
grain, but it has not yet been found
advisable to recommend anything tc
take the place Of hydrocyanic-acid gas
or carbon bisulphide.
The serious disadvantages Of many
Of these new gases Is that they are
dangerous or very irritating to men
horses, and mules, and require the us|
of masks and great care in handling.
