$4,000 DEMAND
SARGON DAILY
Vast Growing Army Of Sar
gon Users, Marching Single
File, Would Encircle the
Globe in Only Few
Years Time
BY RICHARD L. sIMMs

Atlanta, GA.-More like a tale
from the Arabian Nights Of old
than a record of modern business
achievement reads the story Of the
marvellous growth and develop
ment Of Sargon, the new scientific
compound, which has become the
sensation Of the drug trade thru
out the United States, Canada and
other countries.
The old illustration of the pebble
dropped into the pool best describes
the phenomenal and unprecedented
demand and it's fame is rapidly
spreading over the entire Ameri-
can continent like a great tidal
wave.
Recently compiled figures reveal
that approximately $1,000 men and
women are marching into the drug
stores daily for Sargon and Sar-
gon Soft Mass Pills, the marve-
lous new treatment that is restor-
ing health to countless thousands
by new and remarkable methods
undreamed Of only a few years
ago.
Already more than 5000, 900 suf-
fering men and women have put
it to the test and have told other
millions what it has done for them.
Marching in regulation U. S.
army fashion-single file-this
vast army of Sargon users would
reach from New York to San Fran
cisco and at the present rate OF
would, in a few years time,
encircle the entire globe.
The only explanation of Sargon's
triumph in the medical world is
Sargon's true worth. Back Of its
triumph in the drug stores is its
triumph in the homes and it is the
grateful endorsements of its mill
lions of users that has made it the
the most widely talked of medi-
cine in the world today.
Sargon is extensively advertised,
it is true, but no preparation, no
matter how extensively advertised,
could possibly meet with such phe-
nomenal success unless it possess
ed absolute merit and extraordin-
airy powers as a medicine.
There can be but one possible
explanation for Sargon's amazing
success and it can be told in one
word MERIT!

Perennial Weed Control

Spreading from small areas until
a half TO as high as three acres are
now involved has been the exper-
fence OF several farmers attending
the weed control meetings held
last week with one or another of
the serious perennial weeds. If
these weeds are in the orchard one
may continue to maintain the or
chard with the weeds present, but
they are a serious handicap even to
an orchard. If they are in cultivated
crops such as asparagus or berries
or open cultivated land then it is
indeed serious problem.
When one realizes that the cost
of treatment an acre on the, basis
of material alone is approximately
$40 then one can see the import
ance of controlling the pest before
it becomes as wide spread on the
farm as several farmers have re-
ported to us. In the orchard where
many feeder roots come near the
surface it would seem that several
light applications made directly to
the leaf surface Of the plant would
he the safest method of control,
using only enough material to wet
the weed growth without wetting
the soil any more than is absolute
ly impossible. This again makes
control work in the orchard rather
a serious labor problem. If you
are q farmer who did not attend |,
one of the weed control meetings, |
become familiar with the most ser
ious perennial weeds and check
your farm to be sure that none are
present. In most instances they
have become widespread on the
farm because the farmer has nor
known that he had these weeds

From results obtained during the

From results obtained during the
past two seasons on alfalfa on three
different plots in the county, the
| use of phosphate is the thing
needed to bring back our alfalfa
fields. In measuring results with
alfalfa, increased vegetative
growth. measured in hay yields Is
the measure of results of a fertii-
izer. Yields have been increased
on the average of 1900 pounds on
the dry hay basis, per cutting, per
acre at a cost of $500 the first
year, for fertilizer. The fertilizer
will probably carry over for three
seasons.
With apples. cherries, prunes,
Strawberries and asparagus, re-
suits must be measured in the IN
creased yield from the plant due
to increased vigor. High quality
production of product has been
found to bring the greatest net re-
turn to the producer. The right fer
tilizer wisely applied in the right
amount should give this produc-
ton.
On Tuesday, August 18th,
tour has been arranged for the
and-Kennewick communities
at which time the main topic con-
sidered will be fertilizers-We be-
lieve that various fertilizer plots
laid out will give enough informa-
ton that it will be worth growers
time to visit these plots. The alfal-
ia plot, the last one on he visited
during the day, shows very definite
results as well as the apple plot
ON the Ernest johnson place, the
first ON to be visited.
Other topics such as worm con-
troll, thinning, poIlinization and
are also to be covered
briefly.

Asparagus Beetle Control

According to horticultural work
ers who are getting about over the
asparagus fields, the asparagus
beetle is quite prevalent this year
Asparagus growers should check
their fields and look for the char
acteristic damage done by the in
Sect. There win be decided yell
lowing of the top usually found
at the very tips of the plant and
extending from there toward the
base. This yellowing upon careful
examination will be found due TO
the removal Of che bark of the
plant by the insect.
The adult of the asparagus
beetle common here is approx
mately Ia inch in length with q
broad blue-black band length-wise
the middle Of the back with 8 cross
bands, the middle one wider than
the other two. The color of the re-
lnainder Of the back is reddish
yellow. The worm stage is rather
short, clumsly, slow moving worm,
reaching a maximum length of
zbout LIZ inch.
q The worm stage is not only in
curious to the top, but also attack
the young growing shoots during
eutting period, this makes it SER
ious pest in this section. One grow

damage to the young growing !
shoots.
There are 8 or more broods a |

that it may require more than one
treatment to control the pest. Ac-

satisfactory, the lead could prob
ably be applied to the field easier
By this means than by spray.
Think! Several farmers could club /
together in the purchase of good
duster for this purpose.
The Ever Green of which we
had an article in last weeks pa
per should be probably the best
spray to use, as it is both con- /
tact and internal poison. It would
probably be more expensive than
lead, but believe one could come
much nearer controlling the pest
with one application with this ma
terial than any other one on the
market. 1t is a very pleasant spray
to use and absolutely non-poison-
Gus to any warm blooded animal.
Unless control measures are tax
en- at this time one is almost sure
to have considerable trouble next
spring wherever the beetles are
numerous. There is possibility,
however, that control measures ap-
piled next spring in the form of

GANG KILLS THREE
IN RAID ON STORE;
FOURTH MAY DIE
Owner of Grocery in Pitts
burgh Suburb, His Wife
and Customer Slain.
BY the Associated Press


PITTSBURGH, October A woman
and two men were shot and killed and
another man was wounded probably
fatally today when gangsters' guns were
fired five times in little grocery store
in Braddock, suburb.
Two men fired with deadly precision
to kill Joseph Lobianco, proprietor of
the store, his 27-year-old wife, and
Louis Tomano, 70, a customer. Lobian-
cos brother, Michael, %. was wounded
so seriously he was not expected to
live.
Residents of the neighborhood said
three men drove up to the store shortly
after 8 am. and while one remained at
the wheel Of their automobile the other
two entered the store. Shots were
heard and the gunner ran out, leaped
into the automobile and sped away.
Pedestrians ran into the store and
found Lobianco dead with a bullet
wound in the abdomen. His wife was
wounded similarly. She and Tomano
died short time later.
Lobianco opened his small grocery
store three weeks ago.
County detectives believed that the
shooting resulted from emmity caused
by liquor dealings involving Lobianco
or jealousy over Mrs. Lobianco.
The officers began search for a
large red sedan. An automobile Of that
description was used by the slayers.
The machine was reported found later
in North Braddock.

ASSEMBLY
ENDS SESSION WITH
SPEECH BY CECIL
Veteran British Statesman
Makes Plea for Peace
Through Kellogg Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, october 4.-The eleventh
Assembly of the League of Nations ad-
journed today after wrestling earnest
ly for three and half weeks with
pressing world problems.
Viscount Cecil, British representa-
tive, in an address before the closing
session pleaded with the gathering of
statesmen to renew their efforts for
peace.
His address was in support of the
amendments to the Covenant of the
League to make it conform to the
Briand-Kellogg anti-war pact, all of
which failed of agreement this session.
Suggesting that this might be his last
appearance before the League the elder
ly statesman cited the Shearer case as
one evidence that powerful vested in
terests" are working In support of war
as a laudable institution.
Backs BRAND Charge. /,
He recalled a recent statement of
Aristide BRAND to women gathered here
that armament makers are opposing
measures for peace. This was true, he
said, declaring that no one could doubt
this powerful support for war who had
conference and knew of the later revela-
tons that "the steel interests in one
country" had employed an agent to
destroy efforts at agreement.
A spirit of profound seriousness rather
than hopeful enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the Assembly session. which
saw repeated attacks upon world eco
nomic depression and renewed efforts
to hasten world disarmament.
Franco-Italian naval differences and
the German nationaliStic resurgence
cast their shadows upon the deliber-
ations of more than half hundred
nations who participated in the Assem-
bly,. While never reaching stage OF
cheerful optimism, the deliberations were
marked with frank speaking and pro-
fessed willingness to face facts, which
some Of the delegates predicted would
bear fruit later
Attacking with vigor its chief problem
Of disarmament, the Assembly author
lied the preparatory commission to
complete draft treaty at the Novem-
Der meeting and expressed hope that
the general disarmament conference
might be convened by 1881.
Wants Full Preparation.
BY terms of the resolution the As
sembly requested the Council to call
this conference "as soon as possible, !"
feeling that it would be dangerous to
fix the date until full preparation has
been made.
In a search for means to relieve the

certed action and that a worldwide

and causes OF the prevailing depression.
