worms, of which there are two
kinds.
The most important is the tomato

If equal parts calcium arsenate and
flour or lime is recommended, start

applications about every 10 days.
Another treatment. is mixing / part
cryolite with 9 parts corn meal and
scattering it over the plants. All
these treatments have given good
control.
Also attacking tomatoes are the

important to dust as soon as the

Personality parade: Burl Ives, a
hobo turned ballad singer, who has
arrived in Hollywood to make his
first movie, is no Tyrone Power. He
is IS, stands 6 feet tall, weighs 27o
pounds and looks like a Western
cowhand.
Yet Goth Century-Fox executives
have just contracted to pay him the
highest salary given any Broadway
stage star in recent years.
Believing that he is the down-to-
earth homeSpun type the American
public likes, as witness the popu-
larity of Charles Ray, Will Rogers,
and Marie Dressler-all three dead
and leaving niche almost impos-
sible to fill-the studio has signed
him to an exclusive tWo-picture-a-
year contract. He will play a cow
puncher with Fred MacMurray and
Anne Baxter in the Will James
story. Smoky"
Until five years ago Ives was a
professional tramp who carried a
banjo slung over his shoulder and
sang for his supper in cheap cafes,
bars and honkytonks. He rode the
rods and hitchhiked all over the
United States. He listened to the
songs of the cowpunchers in Arizona
the loggers in Washington, the fish
ermen of Gloucester, the mountain
eers of Kentucky and the factory
workers of Detroit and other cities,
and he remembered those songs.

for generations" he said. IT don't
want any one tinkering with them.
So Robert Bassler, the producer
agreed to let him sing, as he heard
them in the backwoods, such ballads
as "Bluetail Fly" which was q IA
vorite OF Abraham Lincoln, and
Barbara Allen" a song which
Samuel Pepys in@his diary in 1910
described as an old Scot folk tale.
MY grandma taught me those
songs" said Ives, who was born on
tenant farm in Hunt Township
III. "She smoked a stone pipe and
chewed tobacco and could hit the
cat in the eye with one spit. She
was a wonderful woman"
He started tramping In 1880 when
he got tired of studying to be a
football coach at Eastern Illinois
State Teachers College.
II had IS cents in my pocket and
my banjo" he said. II Just walked
out of class one day and headed for
Danville. Didn't bother to 60 back
to the frat house for my clothes,
was that sick Of school. In Dam
vile I went into a restaurant and
offered to sing for a steak. The
owner took me up and I Just kept
singing my way from one town to
the next. A travelling evangelist
needed psalm singer and I joined
him for a while. Sometimes I'd
wash dishes or weat tables If no
one wanted song"
In 1888 he decided to try the stage
for a living. The producers wouldn't
let him sing. They insisted he was
an actor and cast him for a beard
ed general in II Married an Angel"
and tailor's apprentice In THE

discovered the Army wanted him to

No one paid much attention to
those songs until a Broadway pro-
ducer who was casting Sing Out,
Sweet Land" heard him. The play
was medley of American folk mu-
sic and Alfred Drake, star of okla
homa," already had been set for the
starring role Ives was signed as a
ballad singer and ran away with the
show.
That was last winter. Collectors
OF Americana, however, had previ-
ously discovered" Ives. Carl Sand
berg, the poet, heard him at a party
and said he was "the mightiest bal
lad singer OF any generation" and
McKinlay Kantor, the story writer,
described him as a "beaming, ma
jestic layer of spells" The Library
of Congress asked him to record
the ballads as authentic examples
of American folk songs" The Office
of War Information peddled his
records TO Russia as part of a cul-
tural exchange program.
On the Smoky" set he will pick
up his banjo if any one so much as
mentions song. He sings between
