Negro Promoter
Appeals for Aid
For Bout Permit


LOS ANGELES, Mar. 90.-Sam
Langford, veteran colored boxer,
now promoter, is soliciting the
aid of the negro world war veterans
in his fight to secure boxing per
nit.
In announcing that he had APP
pealed to colored legionaireS for
moral support, Langford said he be-
lieved that. police opposition had
not been directed at the sport 1t;
self, but rather at politicians con
nected with the Long Beach Avenue
Club.
~ have been before the public
for q years he said, land / have
tried to be a credit to my race and
my profession. l have been assur-
ed that there is no objection TO my
being connected with the club. In
the interest of the boxing game, |
believe that persons connected with
the arena who are not satisfactory
to city officials should step out. The
sport deserves that much considera,
tion.
Friends of Langford are hopeful
that the police commission will
grant his application another hear
ing ut the next week s meeting.

TELLS HOW TO
KILL LARVAE
OF BUTTERFLY

Many reports have come in Ia
the office of the Farm Advisor Of
damage done by black or dull
dark brown caterpillar. These are
the larvae of the orange and black
and white butterflies known as the
thistle butterfly that passed through
here recently.
These caterpillars vary in size
from very small to two inches long.
They are dark brown or black with
light stripe down the side. They
are covered on the back with small
spines.
Since the natural food plant of
| these caterpillars is malva and such
related plants, not much damage is
| being done vet to other plants. But
INJURY has been reported from var
ious sections of the country on let
tuee, cantaloupes, beans and squash.
Since the caterpillars will not eat
other plants as long as there
any malva to eat, farmers should
act while the eaterpillars are still
on the malya and before they have
eaten this all up and start out for
other plants. The most effective
means of control when on malva is
the use of poison spray or dust,
four to eight pounds of arsenate of
lead TO so gallons of water if a
spray is used or if dustins is pre-
ferred use arsenate of lead dust
mixed with hydrate or air Stacked
lime. If the attacks are severe use
eight pounds of arsenate of lead to.
so gallons of water, or dust with
arsenate of lead straight Where
attacks are not severe less arsenate
of lead may be used in the spray,
and lime may be added to the ar
| senate of lead dust up to three
parts of lime to one part of arsen-
ate of lead. Any crops which will
be harvested and eaten within three
weeks from time of dusting or
spraying will not be allowed to be
shipped, according to Horticultural
Commissioner B. A. Harrigan. This
includes strawberries, lettuce, cab
bage, etc.
Where the caterpillars are on the
march, ditch can be plowed and
d out and filled with water. and
| covered with n film of oil, or a
trench six tc II inches deep with
perpendicular walls, dug, with fence
post holes at intervals to collect
he caterpillars, where they may be
killed. Another plan is to pillow
out furrow and place half
width of black building paper along
i the furrow, leaning outward. and
plow another furrow to hold the
paper in place.

Uncover Fossil
Five Million
Years Old
by United Press Lensed Wire

CORVALLIS, Ore, Mar. 90
A 100000 year old fossil, the
first of its kind to be found in
this part - the country, has
been added TO the geological col
lection of the Oregon Agricul-
tural college.
The fossil is thought to be
the vertebra of a zeuglodon.
an ancient whale. Should this
prove true it will be Of far
reaching significance, accord
ing to D. G. Livingston, profes-
sor of geology.
Heretofore the only localities
in which remains have been
found are in Florida, Africa
and along the Mediterranean
sea.
Roland Dimick, vocational
training student in o. A. C.
found the specimen in a cliff
near Briggs landing, 20 mills
north of Newport, Ore.
The head of the ancestral
whale was relatively small with
long protruding jaws provided
with great gra ping, cutting
teeth, according to H. F. Os-
burn, an authority in the study
of prehistoric animals. A pic
ture that has been theoretically
drawn of thu animal shows a
long snake-like body, which with
large Jaws resembles a crocodile
more than the whale Of today.
