News Notes

Barberry Eradication Progress
! The northern half of the county is
finished in the campaign for the
eradication of the common barberry
The department of agriculture field
men entrusted with the work report
Is locations in the county SO far
covered, on which the barberry has
been found. On these Is locations,
slightly over 1GO bushes have been
found, most of which have been al
ready destroyed Other than in Nc
Connelsville, only one bush has been
found on the east side of the river
The field men report considerable
support for the work in Morgan
county. They find the land owners
attitude such that if the shrub is
found on their premises, they want
lit destroyed. Comparatively few
| farmers know the shrub.
The agents are very grateful for
reports or leads on the whereabouts
of suspected locations of barberries
If you have any suspects in mind, in
form the agents when they call on
you.
Corn Borer In A Few Years
Some reading, little talk, and no
realization is about all the interest
there has been in the Morgan coun-
ty mind in regard to the European
corn borer. The farmer of Morgan
county is not worrying much about
the corn borer as yet. 1t will be a
pest to reckon with in few years.
The corn borer is moving south
ward and westward at the rate of
about 80 miles per year, in spite of
the prevailing contrary winds. The
Mexican bean beetle came upon us
rapidly, with the help of a prevail
ing southwest wind. Another fac
tor that will help in the distribu-
ton of the corn borer southwark is
the northern tributaries of the Ohio
river. The borer was found last
year in Ripley township of Holmes
county on the watershed of the Mus
kingum river Flood waters carry
corn stalks as rule, thereby making
a new avenue for the spread of the
corn borer to the corn belt states
where it will be as great menace as
the boil weevil is to the cotton belt
The corn borer will necessitate a
modification of handling practices in
regard to the corn crop. The corn
stalks must be kept low, stalks in
the feed lot must be burned or put
in the silo, and later planting must
be practiced to keep down the in
festation. We can not keep it out
1t will soon be time to plan hand
ling methods for fighting the corn
borer

GIRL SCOUTS

Promise
On My Honor, Will Try:
To do my duty to God and my
Country;
To help other people at all times.
To obey the Scout Laws.
Laws
/. A Girl Scouts Honor is to be
trusted.
2. "A Girl Scout is Loyal.

Origin
Girl Scouts, the American sisters
of the Girl Guides of Europe, were
organized in 1912 by Mrs. Juliette
Low, friend and associate of Sir
Robert Baden-Powen, the father of
all Scouting, who urged and inspired
the undertaking. The movement has
his full sympathy and support.
Purpose
The Girl Scouts, national asso-
citation, is non-sectarian and non-par-
tisan. The object of the organization
is to give girls, through natural,
wholesome pleasures, those habits of
mind and body, which will make them
useful, responsible women, ready and
willing to take definite part in the
home, civic and national affairs of
their country.
Scope
Scouting has universal appeal.
There are Scouts in the United States,
Hawaii, Russia and Norway, Central
America, Alaska, Philippines and
West Indies, who are asking help in
organizing. The Girl Guides, who are
the British sisters of the Girl Scouts,

one he has studied from time to time.
He was prompted to give thought to
the matter at this time following re-
ceipt of a copy of the year book of
one Of the packing concerns, showing
wholesale prices of meat delivered to
washington and other centerS of pop
ulation.
1.-THE farmer gets from to 10 cents
a pound for beef on the hoof, and he
works three years to produce the car
cass," the Senator said. THE packer
dresses it and delivers it in Washing
ton at IA or Is cents Il pound"
The Senator said his information
was that beef sells in Washington at
anywhere from IS to 60 cents a pound
according to the cut. The difference
between the prices the farmers and
wholesalers receive and the prices the
consumers pay make the question an
interesting one for study, Senator
Capper said.
"Of course, I realize that this prob
lem isn't a new one" the Sentor con-
tinued, land l don't know that prices
are any higher here than in other
cities. / thought l would find out, for
example, how local prices compare
with those in Baltimore"
The Senator said it seemed to him
the problem = lies in the method OF
marketing and distribution. He said
he was not prepared to say at this
time how It might be improved.
