Here's Advice on How Mexican

Can Be Controlled in Valley
the ants disappeared in the fall of
1902

4he ants disappeared in the fall Of
1923.
Effective Control Discovered
- Still not satisfied with the indif-
ferent results so far secured, the
agricultural extension service con-
tinued experimenting with various
materials. In the spring of 1924,
while working on methods of control
on the John Waterman ranch near
FL Centre, the farm advisor s office
found that 100 per cent calcium
cyanide dust was very effective in
killing the ants. Experiments with
this dust were continued through the
spring and summer of this year, IN
order to ascertain the best methods
of application. Assistance in find
ing the proper solution to tins I'M
portant problem, was requested OF
the division of entomology OF the
University of California. In Sep
tember, 1924, Prof. H. j. Quayle OF
the University of California expert
ment station at Riverside, accom-
panied by Prof. Harry Smith also
located at the station were detailed
by the University of California to
study the problem.
The results secured by the agricul
tural extension service, with this
calcium cyanide dust were studied
by these two eminent chronological
experts, and expressed the positive
opinion that the correct solution had
been found, and advised the exten-
sion service to continue along the
same lines.
After experimenting for two
months with this dust the extension
service has the following recon-
mendations to make.
J.. Use the 100 per cent calcium
cyanide flakes in preference to the
dust, because the flakes hold their
strength longer.
9. 1T is unnecessary to mix the
flakes with any other materials.
3. Appl 5 the material at least
three days before an irrigation.
4. Apply the material on the sur.
face of the ground at the base OF the
tree, using from two to three tea
spoonfuls to the tree. Do not cover
the cyanide with dust as it will
kill the tree.
5. Only apply the cyanide to those
trees which actually have ants on
them, as the flakes loose their
strength after about IL hours ex-
posure to the air.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. T. The

The so.called "test case' was
originated in superior court here in

attacked the validity of the law be-
cause it interfered with her alleged
right to work as a ''learner IN 4

Superior Judge Cabaniss sustain

General U. S. Webb and refused to
enjoin the industrial commission
from permitting Miss Galner to work

GRANDMOTHER
SEEK KNOWLEDGE

Macon, July 2.-NNhcn the family
brood is reared and has left the home
nest, pa and ma no longer settle into
the quetude of their declining years,
but betake themselves unto she near
est college where they substitute for
the slate, pencil and blue-back speller
OF their youth the slide rule, test tube
and a copy of Shelley, Keats OF
Browning.
They delve into their work with
far more ardor than the sixteen and
seventeen year ODDS whom they sit
side in class. professors say. A
gray-haired mother of 90 years, sur
rounded by classmates who insofar as
age is concerned might be her grand
children, is learning what of Euclid
she failed to get long ago.
Another, in registering, remarked
that she and her daughter were taking
turn about in furthering their cduca-
ton. The mother keeps the home dur
ing the schoolyear while her daughter
goes to college During the summer
she goes to school while her daughter
remains at home
A u year old mother of ten children
all of them married. came to college
last year. She had returned, she said,
to fulfill a cherished ambition to
learn to write. The new-fanyled sub
iects often hold the aging students
more rapt than the classics.
Enrolled in the Mercer University
summer school are two students over
sixty years old, three Others over mt
tv and ten others over forty. Six of
these are women, five of whom are
mothers of families.

Will Be Placed Where Jefferson Davis
Highway Intercepts National High
way in Ashburn

ASHBURN, Ga.,--The Turner coun
ty Chapter U. D. C's. have long held
as their goal the trectio;n of some me-
mortal to those brave men of the oU 5
who gave of time, wealth and life for
! n cause they deemed right and that
dream was realized in part when the
stone recently purchased by them ar
rived on Monday afternoon. 1t is really
beautiful stone and one the chapter
has every right to be proud of.
Perhaps little history would not be
amiss. In 1914 when prices dropped
so alarmngly, especially prices on
cotton. Turner County Chapter pur-
chased bale from Mr.. Hodge who
was a veteran and small farmer, to
whom the price OF the cotton meant
a great deal. The price of 10 cents
pound was paid, each member contrib
uting a portion. Later the cotton was
sold for II IL cents, affording some
profit When the World War came on,
with its necessary Liberty Loan drives,
the money, with perhaps little added
was put into bonds. All the while no
need of the chapter, or call for con-
tributions, tempted them to make any
nroads on this fund All were determ-
ned to hold it against the time when
some suitable memorial could be pur-
chased That time arrived when the pre-
sent stone was discovered by Mrs. l..
w Green at a remarkably reasonable
price. Mrs Green, together with Mrs.
w. L. Story and Mrs. K. P. Baker
were put on committee to purchase
and arrange for the erection of the me-
mortal
All Turner County and especially the
U. D. c. Chapter have been extremely
interested and proud of the fact that
the Jefferson Davis Highway comes
through our county and it will be the
delight of our people to make that
portion within our bounds as beautiful
as may be. So the chapter have decided
to place the stone, facing the Jefferson
Davis Highway where it intercepts
the National Highway on the South
End of Ashburn.
The city of Ashburn is assisting gen
erously with the work of building
suitable cement base and the citizens
of Ashburn are most liberal in con-
tributing to fund for defraying of
freight and other expenses.
The necessary amount has not been
obtained yet and if you have not al
ready done so the chapter will appre-
ciate your contribution. Mrs. ]. L. Bass
is chairman of this fund.

RAILROAD OPERATING
EXPENSES LOWERED

Atlanta, Ga, July Cooperating ex-
penSes for the railroads of the coun-
try in the first third of the year
averaged almost $20,000000 month
less than in the first onethird of the
year, it was announced here today by
railway executives. Some of this saw
ing. it was stated, was due to re-
trenchments prompted by the decline
of traffic. but most OF it was due to
the steady increase of efficiency of
operation.
This is shown by statistics regard
ing certain unit costs that have been
compiled These statistics give the
costs OF locomotive repairs, engine
expenses. the wages OF enginemen
and trainmen, the cost of fuel and
other locomotive and train expenses
for each 1000 gross tons of freight
trains and the freight carried by them
that are moved one mile
There unit costs in the last three
months of 1920 averaged Sl,363 per
1000 gross ton-miles In the first
third OF 1921 they increased to Sl,522,
In 1922 they were reduced to Sl,ll4,
creased the cost OF coal. and the shop
employees strike. which increased
most other railway expenses, and IN
the first one-third of 1928 these costs
advanced to Sl.5l2.
In the first third of 1924 they
were again reduced to S1,l17. This
was almost Is per cent less than in
