OHIO TOWN RAIDS
 NET D VIOLATORS
Mob Of 300 Boo Federal Agents
 in Campbell Cleanup

Youngstown. Ohio. Aug. tPr - Liquor raids exceeding in propor- ,ions any ever seen by federal prohi- btion agents in Ohio cleaned out the "steel town" of Campbell last night and early today. Fifty en- forcement officers demolished half a hundred speakeasios, arrested the proprietors. and dumped gallons of Whiskey and beer into gutters in simultaneous appearances which crowded the federal building with prisoners.
 Purchases Made
 All the raids were made on pur- chases already made by under cover agents, raiders said. Among other prisoners was a man booked as John Nansuch. former safety director at Campbell. The agents said several former policemen also were includ- ed among the prisoners.
 Campbell. suburb Of Youngs- town. described by agents as the wettest spot in Ohio," is populated principally by workers in the steel mills. Hundreds of these collected in the streets as the raids went on and at one place more than 500 gathered about the agents, jeering and booing. Emergency squads of federal men were summoned and there was no serious outbreak.
 Crowded Into Building
 The time set for the first on- slaught was o'clock yesterday aft ernoon. and from that hour until early this morning, the raids went on. Those arrested, with contsca-

DRIVE FOR AIRPORT
STARTED AT SPRINGFIELD

"Air-minded'' citizens at Spring
drive for the establishment of an air.
port on the outskirts of the town and
if all goes we'll the city will have a
landing field-and pretty soon.
The promoters are of the opinion
that Springfield is located about right
for a government air station on the
route from Rapid City to Lacrosse,
and have come to realize that some
where along that part of the route
a station will need to be located. A
volunteer organization at Springfield
is now formed to take over the task
of mapping out some kind of an air.
port program, other that to fix a
bond issue and have the matter voted
upon.
At a meeting held at the Legion
Hall there Monday evening of last
week preliminary steps were taken
to organize an airport company.
Three men were selected from diff
ferent civic organizations and will
gather again on May 20 to make
further plans. From the Booster
club, President John Schmelz, George
Miesen and Anton Heinen were pick
ed. The Legion men selected were
August Wild, lyme Potter and Philip
Fischer. From the band E. G.. Vogel,
Max Renner and C. E. Schmid were
chosen and from the golf club, A. G.
Loomis, Oh. Asch and v. H. Fore
ster were selected. Three members
of the fire company, Chief Niemann,
Mayor Lomeier and H. w. Dahman,
will represent that organization.
These fifteen men will meet May 20
to form a permanent organization.

APPLE PESTS MUST BE
FOUGHT WITH CHEMICALS

Good crops of apples cannot be
produced unless the trees are spray
ed at least three times year at de-
finite times. A fourth spraying and
even fifth are sometimes necessary
to round out the crop in good shape.
The first spraying should be done
when the center bud of the flower
cluster begins to show pink, the Sec
ond just after the petals fall, and
the third in two or three weeks after
the second spraying. In ordinary
years the second spray is given about
June Is and the third spray about
the first of July.
"Since the apple maggot has be-
come serious pest in Minnesota the
third spray is an important one"
says A. G. Ruggles of University
Farm, state entomologist. eff the
third spray is not sufficient to con-
troll the maggot, and it will not in
cases of heavy infestation, fourth
spray should be applied soon after
the middle of July. Often a fifth
spray around August 10 is necessary.

are arsenate of lead powder and lime
sulphur. The lime Sulphur is found
on the market in either the liquid
form or powdered form. If the Ii
quid form is used, one and one-fourth
gallons are added to the water in a
spray barrel holding so gallons. If
the powdered lime sulphur is used,
three to five pounds are used to the
so gallon barrel of water. Arsenate
of lead is used at the rate of one and
one-half pounds to the barrel.
In making the combination, the
lime sulphur solution should be made
first, and then just before spraying
operation commences the arsenate of
lead is added, having previously been
well mixed with a small quantity of
water. Care must be taken to see
that the mixture is kept thoroughly
agitated during the spraying process,
as the arsenate of lead does not dis
solve in the liquid but remains in
suspension.
