DISULPHID PROTECTS
STORED GRAIN, PEAS

Carbon disulphid treatment will
protect stored grain and peas from
the heavy losses every year by in
sects, according to J. o. Rowell, ex-
tension entomoligist at State Col
lege.
In treating small amounts of seed,
he said, a water-tight barrel may
be used. Pour the carbon disulphid
directly on the seed, then tie two
thicknesses of heavy wrapping pap
err over the top and leave for two
days.
Then examine the seed. If any
insects are found, repeat the treat
ment with a stronger dose. The
barrels should be kept covered af-
ter the treatment or insects will re-
infest the grain or peas.
Ordinarily half a cupful of car
bon disulphid is about right for a
barrel of seed, but for heavy in
festations full cup should be ap-
piled.

SCRIBE

Last week end found the nations
grid teams playing on muddy grid
irons. To start things off we wit
messed a muddy spectacle over at
Lansing where we saw much i'm
proved and inspired Lansing team
stop a heavy, hard-charging team
team from Galax, Va. The game
was played ina steady downpour of
cold rain, which was a decided
handicap to the fleet backs of the
Lansing Skylanders. But in spite
of the cold weather and the rain
about 700 loyal fans witnessed the
scoreless battle that was packed
with thrills to the end.
Saturday we saw the Appalach-
ian Mountaineers turn the dope
bucket wrong side outwards by
smearing the Elon Christians with
mud and snow as well as humili-
ating score of $40. James Abbitt
the Elon flash failed to display any
of his previous form in either run
ming or passing due to the weather
conditions but did show once the
way he can kick under suitable
conditions by booting one for eighty
yards. The Mountaineers display
ed the spark that they have needed
all the season to make them look
like first rate ball club.
In other struggles of particular
interest we found Carolina taking
the Tulane Green Wave by the
score of 1870. Duke sat Colgate Red
Raiders back 1870 after blocking the
big Reds kicker. Doc Newton's
State College Wolves are recuperat-
ing nicely after being sick for seve-
raj seasons; they gobbled up the
Demon Deacons but found the Wal
kermen to be great mouthful. The
Deacons big trouble is a lack of re-
serve strength but from the way
the freshmen team is going to town
you can expect to hear from the
Deacons in big way next year.

Timely Questions
And Answers

QUESTION: Can a breeding male
be selected for the poultry flock by
handling only?
ANSWER: Yes, but there is al
ways the chance that the best male
from a handling standpoint has the
poorest breeding qualities. It is al
ways best to study the performance
of the parents before selecting a
male for breeding purposes. How
ever, if the bird has to be selected
by handling see that it is true to
breed so far as feather pattern
goes and that he lis without any
serious defect. The body should be
deep in front and equally deep in
the center. The head must be dis
tinctly masculine and show good
character with well developed Sec
ondary sex characters as comb, ear
1okes, and wattles. Be sure the bird
shows vitality and has good body
weight. ~

|OctOber Brides
In Japan Are Few
October Is A Marrying Month";"
But Boys Are Away At
The Fronts.

Tokyo.-The war in China has al
most broken Dan Cupid's bow in
Japan. October, the marrying
month";" has been robbed of it's bril-
lance this year. Ceremonial shrines
are deserted. The stores are glutted
with unsold wedding costumes.
Thousands of japanese girls are
waiting some Of them, perhaps,
forever-for the return of the war
riors.
Normally, October, is the start of
the wedding season in Japan. Every
Japanese girl hopes to be an o.
tober bride.
If she is not wed in October, she
must wait until December, or per-
haps until the late spring. A mar
riage in November is practically un-
known. For November is the "god-
less month" when all the high gods
are at Idzuma. And December is
|, winter-time, too cold for wedding
bells, just as summer is too hot.
But this year, because of the un-
declared war in China, the marry
ing month" was a gloomy time for
Japan's maidens.
The first indication that it would
be so came when department stores
and dressmakers began Elashing
prices of the wedding costumes. It
is not unusual for Japanese father
in medium circumstances to pay 49,
900 for his daughters wedding dress.
He may 60 deeply in debt for it
and she will wear it only once
but she has it.

feed six-tenths of a pound of grair
for each pound of milk produced
above ten. However, different cow:
have different capacities for milk
production and each cow nuts be
studied as an individual before &

QUESTION: How should soil be
prepared for growing plants in win
dow boxes?
ANSWER: To obtain a good soil
which is the first essential in pro-
ducing good plants, make a COM
post pile of alternate layers of ma
nure and good garden soil. After
the soil has been thoroughly mixed
it should be sifted to get rid of
trash, stones, and other coarse ma
terial. These window boxes or fats
should measure about IL by Is inch
es outside and be from two to three
inches deep. Plants started in these
boxes should be transplanted to
other boxes Or to the hotbeds or
coldframe as soon as they begin to
crowd. Crowded plants become
spindly and worthless.

announced Monday the promotion
of Scott Faison to the sales force.
He will work out of the Mime

show a disposition to reciprocate
for Negro patronage by employ
ment and other cooperative actions.

THE WAYS OF CROOKS

An interesting sidelight on the ways
of professional criminals is given in a
magazine article which declares that cities
where these gentry habitually congregate
to spend their loot are seldom the scene of
their banditry.
The writer cites the case of Toledo,
long known as being unusually free from
underworld crime, yet all the time the rem
devious for safe-crackers, hold-up men and
other desperate crooks. It was an unwrit-
ten law among them that no Jobs we're
to be pulled off in Toledo, and although
the police knew Of their presence, they
were not molested. because. as the chief
said: I'VE never bother them, because
they never bother us. q 4.s sss
Finally a new public commissioner
was appointed, and when he learned of
the situation he ordered 4 clear-up. Then,
to quote the article: There were inn
mediate retaliations Safes began to ex-
pIode like fire-crackefs on the Fourth.
Hold-ups became as common as measles.
Cops shot crooks and crooks shot cops. To-
day Toledo Is no longer immune"
One difficulty said to be experienced
in catching present-day criminals of the
professional class is that many of their old
underworld haunts which were formerly
well-known to the police have been broken
up. The crooks are scattered throughout
the cities. often living in comparative Sc
curity in high-class neighborhoods. Thus
new and serious complication of the
criminal problem has arisen. for which no
solution appears to be forthcoming.
