"I've never sought converts to

the years I've sought Office and

The Hartford Courant, staunch

WE NEED A CURE

''Tis an i'll wind that blows no one good y The
depression has been blamed for many things, and
is as roundy cursed any i'll wind and yet as our
perspective grows clearer we are able to see that
great amount of good is going to come Of it. Crime
for instance, was largely tolerated during the
boom days when we were too busy thinking of
material things to worry about what was happen
ing to our neighbors. We adopted olive and let
live" policy, and as long as our own business and
personal affairs were untouched, were inclined
to let that attitude carry over into the subject of
crime
Now, however, when we feel that we must re-
gain the old standards, or develop new and better
Ones we are taking different viewpoint. The
spirit that led pioneers of the old west to hold
'necktie parties in honor of horse thieves and
rustlers is not dead. The working man and farmer
is again taking an interest in the prevention of
crime.
There are number Of effective ways of reduc-
ing crime. The legal procedure of this country has
been allowed to grow cumbersome Clever lawyers
allowed to take advantage Of technicalities to
free obviously guilty clients. There are loopholes
by which criminals may escape retributve Justice,
but there seem to be in which the prosecutors
may catch and keep control of the guilty ones. So
simple matter even as allowing judges greater
freedom in instructing the jury and allowing them
to characterize as well analyze the testimony
would result in greater number of Just convic-
lions.
The lash would, we believe, prove helpful de-
terrent to petty crime. Stronger perjury laws
would help Reform in the parole system would
doubtless do much towards crime reduction The
majority OF crimes are committed for money To
wards those men who show no desire to earn their
living in an honest manner the courts should take
proper corrective steps.

Grasshopper Control
(By County Agent E. c. Durdle)

Several requests for grasshopper
control have come to the county agri-
culture agent These requests cover in
formation for such crops as asparagus,
raspberries, strawberries, lettuce, ETC.
Where the grasshoppers are feeding
upon a crop such as the mature
asparagus it is probable that as good
method of control as any would be to
spray the tops with arsenate of lead at
| the rate of 3 pounds to the 100 gallons
| This recommendation was recently
mentioned to us by DR.. Webster follow
ing letter of inquiry on this point
Some who have tried this out, however
report that they still have plenty Of
grasshoppers. Whether this is due to
| constant new supply OF grasshoppers
coming in from outside or whether
grasshoppers may be feeding on other
! material than poison crop we cannot
say 1t may be we'll to check this and If
the spray, which is cheap method of
control, if satisfactory, is not cOntrOll-
ing the pest; then to use the poison
for crops where the product cannot
be sprayed as it is to be consumed.
| The poison bait for control of the
grasshoppers should be prepared from
the following material as follows:
| Twenty-Five pounds Wheat Bran;
! ! pound Paris Green or White Arsenic;
6 finely chopped lemons or oranges,
peeling and all; 2 quarts low grade
molasses; 4 gallons water. The bran
and the Paris green or white arsenic
should be thoroughly mixed together,
dry. The chopped lemons or oranges
should then be mixed with the dry
ingredients. We think it would then be
best to add the quarts of molasses to
2 gallons Of water and mix this with
the dry ingredients and knead the
whole thoroughly A coarse flaked bran
is most desirable The remaining water
should then be added if necessary to
results this should be spread over the
area to be poisoned, during the late
afternoon or early evening. This
amount of mash should be enough to
cover at least One-half acre
1t may take from one to ave days
for the full effects OF the bait to be-
come apparent SO do not expect results
too soon. White arsenic is much
better bait for insects of this kind than
| Is arsenate of lead and ii arsenate OF
| lead is used ii must be used in doubling
the amount of arsenic or paris green.
| Remember that this poison bait is
poisonous to anything eating it and
care should be taken that poultry. cats,
and dogs cannot pick it up while it is
moist or fresh

Chimney Fires Numerous

1.-THE percentage of fires caused by
| defective flues is enormous, and could
be appreciably lowered if a few cau-
lions were observed, declares Standby
A. Smith, head of the architectural
engineering department, Washington
State College.
Owners of newly built homes should
take every precaution to see that CHM
neys reach to the ground. A common
and deplorable method OF building a
chimney is to support it on brackets. A
chimney with spread foundation does
away with shrinkage defects causing
cracks in plaster.
Every chimney should carry up
straight, Mr.. Smith advises, to avoid
the collection of SCOT or debris. In order
to draw correctly, chimney should be
higher than the highest part of the
house Each fireplace should have q
separate flue, although two or more
stoves may share flue.
Owners Of homes that we're built
some time ago should look over ali
chimneys to be certain that they are
IN perfect working order Two months
from now may be too late for repair
work."

100000 BACK TO WORK

It is estimated that already the NRA program
has taken 100000 people off the unemployment
lists and put them in jobs. This means, conserva-
lively figured that billion dollars a year is al
ready added to the purchasing power Of the Anleri
This circumstance alone ought to be sufficient as
surance to those timid people who have been
doubling the success Of the great experiment.
Ultimately, of course, all the business of the
United States will be conducted under the Codes
which have for their chief purpose correction of
the unemployment situation. Elements in this
accomplishment are the elimination of child labor
the shortening Of hours of work, and higher wage
scale. It needs no statstician to demonstrate that
every decrease Of unemployment brings closer
to the end Of economic depression, for every
who is earning living indirectly contributes by
what he buys to the employment of others, and so
the wheels of commerce will turn faster and faster
until the great depression becomes merely
Dry. The rapidity with which we reach this desired
goal depends on the promptness with which in
dustry generally comes into the fold Already most
Of the larger industries are in But the smaller

sumner can give to the businesses that comply with
the requirements of the NRA will not only en-

holding back that if they expect to share in the
general revival they had better get aboard at once

1919 was time of prosperity. 1t
was, in other words, easier to col
lect taxes and to borrow money
because the nation had more
money.
President Roosevelt has pro-
posed a budget reduction of from
$500, 100000 to 100000, 900
which he believes will bring ex-
penses and receipts into balance.
On this basis, officials see neces-
sary government borrowing rem
dered easier because of this added
indication of the nations inten-
ton to maintain the currency.
Others have proposed large
bond issues to be sold on patriotic
grounds much as liberty bonds
were sold during the war to pro-
vide additional government funds
for public works.
The theory is that such public
works would start the wheels of
industry. Rexford G. Tugwell,
one of President Roosevelt's econ
omic advisers, has proposed such
an issue.
