Water Hemlock Poison

Cicuta maculata, also known as
water hemlock, is deadly poisonous
to live stock. 1t has such vile
smell when the leaves or stems are
broken that one would not expect
live stock to eat any of it, but cat
tie will at times, and with fatal
results, especially when the plant
is full of sap. Children have been
poisoned by eating the feshy roots,
which taste bit like parsnips. This
is a vile plant, which should be
killed out or fenced in so thoroughly
that no cattle can get to it. The
flower heads look little like wild
carrot, but are larger. Most farm
ers know this plant in localities
where it grows, but many do not
know it's poisonous qualities.-Rural

Famous Americans Urged
Planting of Red Clover

Just who brought the first red
clover to the New World is still
question, but records in the United
States Department of Agriculture
report that many men famous in
Colonial history urged it's growth.
AS early as 1888, Lord Baltimore
asked his settlers to bring good
stores of clover seed, but there is
no record that they did. William
Penn in 1885 tells of success in
growing English grass Cred cloyer)
and that Robert Turner, wealthy
merchant planter sowed "great and
small clover"
Benjamin Franklin, about 1850,
wrote that he had seeded 80 acres
to red clover in Philadelphia on the
23rd of August" Nearly Is years
later his ''Poor Richards Almanac"
told of IAN experienced method of
sowing clover on barley"
George Washington in 1876 wrote
that seed of red clover was obtain
able ION easy terms in Virginia.
1t was in these years = the re-
construction period after the Revo-
luton that extensive cultivation
of clover began.

W HE older l grow the more l
L am appalled, by the ingrati-
tude, the complete lack of a sense
of obligation on the part of our
fellow human beings.
with me the people who come

Anything that is done for me is
constantly on my mind and I am

about you and you will observe
the most inconceivable indiffer-

seems to be to cultivate those
from whom some advantage may
be forthcoming and neglect those
to whom we are indebted. The
answer to 1t all is to put yourself

The above lament was received
by an international writer of note,

1t must have been an unusually
unfortunate chain of experiences

certain it is that favors done with

likely to be rather casual about

Dust or Bait Is
Army Worm Cure
Calcium Arsenate Used for
Some Crops; Poison Bait
for Others.
BY c. H. Brannon, Extension Entomologist,
North Carolina State College.
WNU Service.

There are a number of methods
of controlling the fall army worm.
Dust calcium arsenate on crops not
burned by this material; on other
crops such as corn, beans and peas,
apply lead arsenate dust to cover
the plant thoroughly.
Small plants like alfalfa and crab
grass may be protected with APP
plications of poisoned bait. This is
especially recommended where the
worms have almost destroyed the
crop.
The bait can be made at home
with one pound of paris green to
so pounds of wheat bran. Add two
gallons of molasses that have been
thinned with water, and stir thor
oughly. Then pour in enough water
to make the bait crumbly, but not
soupy.
Fifty pounds of bait is enough
for five acres. Apply it broadcast
in the evenings, and do not allow
poultry or animals access to treat
ed fields. Smaller amounts of bait
can be mixed in the same proper
ton.
If desired, two pounds of calcium
arsenate may be substituted for the
pounds of paris green in the bait.
When the worms are migrating,
they can be trapped by blowing a
deep furrow at right angles to their
course of advance Shallow holes
dug at intervals in the furrow and
filled with gas oils or kerosene will
kill the worms.
Where it is not possible to pillow
a furrow, thin line of coal tar
placed little distance ahead of
the worms will keep them from in
vading neighboring fields.

For the Farmer
Skimping on protein for pigs
wastes other feeds.


Skimping on protein for pigs
wastes other feeds.
Farmers use 26 per cent of all
trucks sold in this country.
Noxious weeds can be most easily
destroyed during weather that is
hot and dry.
According to recent study,
farmers commit less crime than
men of any other occupation.
Under average conditions a
bushel of corn, when on the cob,
will occupy about two cubic feet.
Turnips are largely used in Eng
land and Canada for feeding of
stock. They grow best in cool
weather.
Bone chewing in cattle is sign
of phosphorus deficiency in the ra-
ton. Feeding bone meal corrects
the condition.
On an average, dairymen raise
or purchase enough heifers to re-
place from one-fourth to one-fifth
of their herds each year.
When the pasture becomes drier
and the feed scarcer, the COW does
not get as much to eat and addi-
tional feeding of grain is needed.
Making soil tests in each field
and then setting down the results
of the tests on a map of the farm
will give a permanent record for
use in soil improvement program.

Doing Favors for Others With
Thought of Return Disappoints
1t Doesn't Pay

passes before occasion presents
itself to show appreciation, or to
reciprocate. After all, if we think
enough of people to put ourselves
out for them, as our reader says,
there must be a certain amount
of faith.
If we do things for others only
because we want to do them and
find a certain satisfaction in it,
we have nothing to lose. But the
expected reward is something like
the watched pot-very disappoint-
ing. In fact, it doesn't pay.

Two Stills
Raids Result In Several Ar
rests---Stills Dynamited

Raids by county and Federal Off
GERS in Hartford county last week re-

a hearing before the United States
Commissioner.
The second raid was carried out
with warrants issued by Sheriff Eu
gene Racine of Cecil County. The
warrants named William Callwell
and John Hall, both of whom, Boyle
said, were arrested in bed at shack
in the hills between Lapidum and
Darlington.
After the pair were turned over to
Sheriff Racine, the Hartford County
raiders returned to the scene of the
arrest, and located still said to be-
long to Caldwell. The equipment
was of modern type, and quantities
of mash, mash boxes and liquor were
confiscated.
Eight charges of dynamite were
needed to destroy the still. Cecil

automobile load of untaxed liquor.
The still allegedly operated by
Bauguess also was dynamited and
