ing curculio. Any questions in re-
gard to methods to be followed
with this burning should be refer
red to State Forestry Department.
Cooling moth remains an acute
insect control problem in many ap-
pie orchards in this state, conse
quently if the ver-wintering popu-
lation of this pest is large in any
orchard, growers should scrape and
band their trees as a supplemental
operation to spraying. All scrap
ings should be collected and burn
ed in order to completely destroy
the cooling moth larva.
Apple, peach and grape spray
programs for 1941 were ready for
distribution on February 1, and
copies have been mailed to all fruit
growers whose names are on the
mailing lists. If there are any
growers, however, who have not
received these spray schedules, or
whose names are not on Tile IN the
county extension offices, they are
requested to contact their county
agent to receive this information
throughout the coming season.
This edition of spray notes con-
tanned also information relative to
the fertilization of fruit trees, in
dicating the Importance of phos-
phorus and potash also to cover
crops in orchards. It will soon be
time to apply fertilizers to apple
and peach trees if they were not
fortified last fall, and from the
standpoint of tree response the
most important element is nitro

will convince them. Not only of
your hidden talents, but that the
first day of Spring has arrived. 1t
should also convince them of much
more.
Another nice way of greeting
Spring is to shed all winter cloth
ing, and jump Immediately into
something light and cool. 1t may
be a bit chilly, but it shows you
have confidence and determination
People can't say you are rushing
the season, because you can pa
tiently point out to them that the
calendar doesn't lie That will
show how intelligent you are.
1t is also a very good idea to act
the part of Spring to show
you believe in tradition. You could
assume 1.-THE Fever, or fall madly
in love. Pretending to be "off your
feed or considerably dazed will
help give the impression of both,
and the more you can manage to
look like dying calf, the better
for both, of course
Extreme laziness is very fitting
for Spring. Your employer will
understand when you refuse to
work, and stare dreamily into
space-that is he will, when you
tell him it is the first day of
Spring. Of course, if the Their
mometer points to ten above, some
other excuse will have to be quick
ly thought of.
Poetry seems to be an infallible
sign of Spring. Just recite some
choice bit of verse as you walk to
or from work. 1t will show people
how well read you are and you'll
be surprised at the opinion they
have of you. You will make new
/ friends, too, if you recite poetry
when you take long, brisk walks
around town. Your new friends
will be wearing white uniforms and
white caps, and will coaxingly per-
suade you to go for ride with
them in their little black wagon.
You see, there are any number
of ways to greet the first day of
Spring!

Shared Prize Money

Enemy vessels, captured by our
blueiackets and u. S. Marines in
the days of wooden ships, were
called prizes" and the joy of our
naval forces in subduing the enemy
was often considerably increased
by the prospect of prize money.
This practice had been well-es-
tablished abroad before it Has
adopted by the U. S. Navy. At
first, prize money was awarded to
naval officers and bluejackets
alone, but early in January, 1776,
Congress passed a law allowing
marines a share in the proceeds OBJ
tanned from captured enemy yes
sells.
During the War of 1912 the
American warship President cap
tured the packet Swallow which
had about $168,000 in specie
aboard. The money was brought
ashore and deposited in the State
Bank at Boston.
1t was customary at TINS time 70
allot one half of the prize money to
the U. S. Government; the remain
ing half was divided among officers
and men, each member of the crew
being allotted a certain proportion
of the money according to his re-
spective rank.
While this appeared to be fair
ly liberal arrangement, in some
cases it was urged that tie entire
proceeds of the capture be awarded
to the victorious bluejackets and
marines.
It is probable that few of the
vessels captured in the War Of 1872
yielded as much as $168,000. Even
if the Presidents crew received but
one half of that sum, it meant a
substantial bonus for all hanis.

We understand that Mr. and
Mrs. MacLucas found two kids in
their barn last week. They were
both surprised and pleased, and
proceeded to do all they could to
make them comfortable-in the
barn. You see, these kids happen

beard They are the kids of Mr..

Arrangements were made last
Wednesday night for the Senior
Civics Class to visit the Smyrna

They must have gone to the movies
en- masse, for the only person who
appeared on the scene was their

late. When the Girl Scouts were
here short time ago, conditions
were just the opposite. Scarcely
one of them missed the visit, and
some came for two Wednesday
nights.

Newspaper Advertising
Aids Loan Associations

The pulling power of newspaper
advertising again has been attested
by savings and loan associations.
Forty-five cents of every dollar
spent by savings and loan associa- .
tions for business promotion in 1910
went for advertising in newspapers,
according to the fourth annual sur
vey conducted by the Public Rela-
tions Department of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board. The bal
ance of the advertising dollar was
split up among II other media.
Ninety-four per cent of the re-
porting institutions said they used
newspaper paid space in their ad-
vertising programs, varying accord
ing to size of association. Those in
the smaller communities spent the
largest part of the advertising dol
lar for newspaper ads.
