Seniority Of Sweden-

The kingdom OF Sweden, which was
founded about the year 700 A. D., Is
the Oldest in Europe. It Is still "a
primitive land-half the country Is
forest and the national population is
less than that of London. The people
are among the greatest sportsmen in
the world, water and ice sports, of
course, predominating. For sailing
and rowing, Sweden~is the first ,coun-
try in Europe, and naturally leads in
its ice sports. Though a large part of
Sweden lies within the Arctic circle,
so clear are the skies that the heart
Of Lapland enjoys more hours of sun
shine than Rome or Madrid. Inciden-
tally, Sweden is the oldest part Of Eu-
rope geologically. It was dry land
when most Of the remainder Of the
continent was under water. s.

An unusual experience with bear
was reported by Mr.. and Mrs. Emery
Ross, who visited at Cottage. Grove.
While they were canped at Lakeside
their son Lee and an uncle chased a
bear into the lake. Thinking that
they could capture the bear by knock
ing it on the head in the water they
gave pursuit in a rowboat and sue
ceeded in swatting the bear on the
head. The bear mistook their intent,
thought they wanted to play with him
and got into the boat in order that
he might be more sociable and make
the play less one-sided. y
The men feared that the bear
might get too rough, so they took the
bears place in the water. The men
and the bear all got away without in

MARYLAND BOYS MAKE
GOOD SHOWING

Agricultural club boys, competing

champion State teams endeayored
to win, according to word received
by Dr.. Thomas B. Symons, director,
Of the University of Maryland Elk
tension Service, from H. B. Derrick,

fair association as the prize to the
three boys scoring highest in the
State contest.
In the Milwaukee contest Amos
Hotter led the Maryland boys by

ed twelfth while Martin Sutton stood
twenty-seventh. State teams rank
ed as follows: Iowa, first; Nebras-
ka, second; Minnesota, third; Mary
land, fourth; and Indiana, fifth.
The showing made by the Mary
land team is considered highly
satisfactory, according to DR.. Sym
ons, and gives the club boys a con-
sistent five-year record among the
leading teams in the country. 1t indi-
Gates, he says, "that the instruc-

Ptolemy I, who had been one of the
generals of Alexander the Great, de-
cided to build a gigantic lighthouse.
The work was finally completed /dur-
ing the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus.
The structure was 450 feet high and

summit was kept a beacon fire which,
according to the historian, JOsephus.
could be seen over forty miles away.
Part of this famous lighthouse was
blown down in the Eighth century.
The ruin was completed by earth

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT
IN WASHINGTON

~ W
The report of the Sub Committee
of the Committee on the District of
Columbia of the House of Repre-
sentatives, concerning the Illicit
sale and use of intoxicants in the
District of Columbia is of national
interest and significance.
The Subcommittee, Of which
Hon. Henry R. Rathbone was chair
man made recommendation which,
if adopted, will facilitate enforce
ment in the District.
The report calls attention to GER
tains defects in the administration
of the law by the courts, and finds
that "all of the provisions Of the
existing law are not being invoked
to their full extent.
The fines which are being i'm
posed upon violators of the prohi-l
bition law by the courts are wholly
inadequate. In 1922 the average
fine for violation Of the national
prohibition act in the District was
S43.67. In 1928 it was $79.43. 1t
is apparent that fines of such small
proportions constitute no deterrent
to bootleggers. 1t is much less
than q license. The average fine in
the District is much less than for
the United States, which was $176
in 1929"
Stating that it was not possible
to obtain exact figures which would
disclose the average prison sentence
in the District, the committee found
that 'the evidence fully established
that jail sentences are very few.
The testimony presented to the
Committee indicated that tn @
largest quantity of Illicit liquor sold
in the District of Columbia comes
from the State of Maryland, which
State .has no code for the enforce
ment of prohibition" It was found
that smaller quantity comes from
Virginia.
The use of high-powered auto
mobiles by bootleggers in distribut-
ing their illicit wares, was con-
demned in the report, and special
legislation recommended to prevent
the use of smoke-screens. Many
of these criminals (who employ
automobiles equipped with smoke
screens) are of the desperate type.
Almost all of them are heavily
armed They do not hesitate to
shoot at any officer or civilian who
attempts to intercept them.
The Committee went into detail
in it's recommendation concerning
the administration of the law by the
courts and the district attorneys.
They recommended that the Depart
ment of Justice '.call the attention
of the United States district at
torneys and the judges Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia to the need OF
more severe penalties; to the effec-
tive means provided in the law for
The abatement of liquor nuisances
by Injunction; to section 81 of the
Penal Code making applicable the
penalties of the law against con-
spiracy to violations of the prohi-
bition statute; that the acceptance
of small bonds and forfeiture of col
lateral should be discontinued; that
bonds be allowed only for the APP
)earance of the defendant in court
and not as substitute for pen
alties; that bench warrant or a
capias- be issued in ell cases in
which the bond or collateral is for
feited; and that in all cases where
practicable the purchaser of Illicit
licaor be prosecuted as wcll as the
seller"

Method of Controlling Bean Beetle
Careful and Thorough Attention

The Mexican bean beetle can be
controlled economically and satisfac-
torily on table beans by timely and
thorough applications of certain ar
senical insecticides. Bean foliage is
exceedingly sensitive to arsenicals,
and, therefore, control measures
should be applied carefully. Paris
green and arsenate of lead burn bean
foliage so severely that they should
never be used for bean beetle con-
troll. Calcium arsenate is effective
and safe for use on beans. However
1t cannot be used safely on beans at
full strength as it is used on cotton
for boil weevil control. Only the
very best grades of calcium arsenate
should be used on beans.
On large areas acres or more
of bush beans, the most economical
control can be obtained by spraying,
using a powder sprayer with the noz-
zle so arranged as to spray both sides
of the row and at least three rows
at time. On smaller areas the best
makes of hand busting machines of
the fan or knap-sack bellows type
are recommended. For home gar
dens or other very small areas a
small hand bellows duster is salts
factory.
Practically complete control of the
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1924-05-01

may be maintained by treating ev-
cry ten days.
There is no danger of being pois-
oned by eating beans from busted
fields.
1t is generally known by all truck
growers that the bean beetle is a
very difficult insect to control, and
they all agree that poisoning alone
cannot be depended upon as a con-
troll measure. Planting on fertile
soil, the use of liberal amoUnt of
fertilizer, which contains quickly
available nitrogen, and constant cul-
tivation is half of the fight. The far
mer who follows these three prinei-
pies and uses poison as an additional
control measure is very likely to
make a good crop of beans.
For additional information ON the
control of insects and diseases write
me or call at my office for buRetins.
