and that he was conscious up until
the end.
The second fatality took place We'd
nesday about 10 a. m. when Samuel
T. Holland, 81, a resident of Fair
mount, Md, shot and killed himself
when he attempted to remove a gun
from behind a desk. The gun ap-
parently was caught and in trying to
jerk it loose it is supposed it was dis
charged blowing the top of his head
off. His body was found a few hours
later by his son. His wife was not at
home when the accident occurred.
A third unusual accident occurred
Wednesday afternoon when Harry
Palmer, 10 year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Calvin Palmer of Shovel, Md,
was injured seriously when he lost his
footing in climbing a telephone pole
and fell on an iron spiked fence. He
is an employee of the c. & P. Tele-
phone Company and was engaged in
doing repair work on the lines. Plans
were made to take him to a Balti-
more hospital but his condition was
believed too serious to make the trip
and he was removed to the Salisbury
hospital. The force of the impact
drove the spiked picket far up into
Mr.. Palmer's body, leaving him i'm
paled on the fence until his screams
attracted passersby.
The latest took place Monday after
noon of this week when an Army Air
plane crashed and burned in the
woods four miles north of Berlin. The
ship came down shortly after one
O'Clock. The three men aboard bailed
out and all escaped with only slight
injuries, Army headquarters report.
Lieut.. R. D. Hickson, pilot and the
two other men were treated locally.

TOMATO WORM
THREATENS The
PRESENT CROP

Recently there has been evidence
that the tomato horn worms may be-
come serious this season, according to
R. T. Grant, County Agent. The i'm
portant point in the control of horn
worms is early application of the in
secticide because when the worms are
young they can be killed much easier
than when they have attained full
size. Moreover, early control pre-
serves the foliage. The worms strip
the stems clean of leaves. In search
ing for worms, look for stripped stems
as the first indication, and then find
the small worms in order to assure
yourself that horn worms are respon-
sible.
Large hawk moths fly over the
fields at dusk and deposit eggs singly
on the foliage. These eggs hatch in
to small green, black headed worms,
that ultimately attain length of 4
inches. One or two worms on a
plant can devour all the foliage, leav-
ing only bare stems. When growth is
completed, the worms go into the
ground to form their jug-shaped
brown pupae. About the middle of
August the second brood appears, and
the pupae from this generation live
over winter in the ground.
Calcium arsenate at the rate of 1
pound to 2 pound of lime, or tale,
should be busted on the plants at the
rate of 20 pounds per acre. Dusting
must be discontinued at least 10 days
prior to picking any fruit. If spray
ing is preferred, use pounds of cal
cium arsenate to 100 gallons of water,
and apply about rs gallons per acre.
Also, as in the case of dusting, spray
ing must be discontinued at least 10
days prior to picking.
Cryolite, barium fluosilicate and
other fulosilicates may be used at the
rate of pounds with 10 pounds of
tale or flour, as a dust, or pounds to
100 gallons of water as a spray. Dis
continue these applications 10 days
prior to picking any fruit.

SCOUT LEADERS
REGRET LOSING
H. A. SOLOMON
Has Accepted Position of Scout
Executiveship of Algonquin
Council, birmingham, Mass.

Boy Scouts and Scout leaders of
the Del-Mar-Va peninsula will miss
Howard A. Solomon, who has resigned
as Field Scout Executive of the South
ern Area of the Del-Mar-Va Council,
Boy Scouts of America, to accept a
promotion to the Scout EXecutiveship
of the Algonquin Council at Fran
ingham in his native state of Massa-
chusetts as of July 1. His promotion
comes as a recognition of five years
of successful work in Salisbury and
vicinity as director of the Councils
southern districts, during which time
he introduced the Clubbing program
to his territory and organized nearly
40 new Boy Scout Troops and Cub
Packs in peninsula communities.
At Framingham Mr.. Solomon will
direct a council with a membership
of 2500 boys and men. He is to have
one assistant executive now and
second one in the fall. He will serve
as director of the Algonquin Council
camp this summer for six weeks be
ginning July 5. During the camp
season his family will stay with Mrs.
Solomon's parents in Manchester,
N. H.
In addition to his Scouting work
Mr.. Solomon has participated actively
in civic affairs in Salisbury. He is a
member of the Salisbury Rotary Club
and of Asbury Methodist Church.
Frank c. Evans, president of the
Del-Mar-Va Council, has appointed

1t is possible to protect the foliage
of most plants by maintaining a de-
posit of spray on the plants during the
period when the beetles are flying.
The sprays do not kill beetles, but
largely repel them and prevent dam
age. Several sprays have been found
effective if the plants are kept COW
cred with the spray at all times. For
the projections of large trees and
Shrubs, it is almost essential that the
work be done with a large power
sprayer. On small plants a hand
spray may be used.
Three very simple and satisfactory
sprays may be made from arsenate
of lead, derris powder a per cent
rotenonel, and hydrated lime The
formulas for preparing the sprays in
small quantities are as follows:
l. Arsenate of lead level table
spoonfuls Wheat flour-3 level
tablespoonfuls water-1 gallon.
?. Derris powder a per cent rote-
none)-1 ounce water-1 gallon.
3. Hydrated lime-1 pound. Water
3 gallons.
busting with hydrated lime is also
effective. Corn can be protected by
dusting tips of the ears with very fine
600 mesh) hydrated lime when plants
begin to show silk, using a hand dust
er. Applications should be made at
day intervals.
While arsenate of lead is poisonous,
it is probably the most satisfactory
for repelling beetles. Two or three
applications at ten-day intervals, will
give excellent protection to most foil
age. Derris spray should be used
at least once a week.

X A Patriotic Duty OF
Every American

In this time of stress, each of us owes
it to his country to be thrifty. We
must conserve materials on the one
hand so they will be available for
defense purposes. We must conserve
money, on the other hand, to help our

BY being thrifty, and by accumulat-

are contributing to your country's
well being while at the same time
