The little girl Of 7 sat on a
stump not far from the cabin
door. Her eyes were devouring
the words on the page of the
book she held. The wilderness
around her was filled with strange
sounds in that historic year of
1776. but she did not hear them.
She was too busy teaching herself
to read.
Decades later, grown to woman
hood, Anne Newport Royal,
Americas first great woman
journalist. recalled how she had
struggled for an education in her
youth and said: Receiving a little
insight from my father into the
sounds of letters and putting them
together I learned to read in
the course of the afternoon. The
JOY I felt in this accomplishment
was unSpeakably great"
Anne Newport was born on
June II, 1869, in Maryland
town whose name has been lost
to history. When s years old she
accompanied her father, William
Newport; her another and her Sis
ter Mary to Pennsylvania, where
the family built a cabin near the
mouth of the Lolayhanna River
Why William Newport subjected
his family to frontier dangers
is question family records never
answered. If Anne ever knew her
fathers motive she never re-
vealed it. History has dropped
hint that Newport may have
been a Stuart, an illegitimate
son OF Calvert. That may explain
his flight" to the wilds and why
Anne once wrote: 81 am of royal
blood but I consider no title so
honourable as that OF American
citizen"

to check fields every two or three
DAYS after the three applications
of poison in order to know how
much additional poisoning is ne
cessary.
Poison Worms: If the boil
worms show up in cotton they
should be poisoned when from 5
to 10 worms are found to 100 cot
ton Buds. Toxaphene spray as
we are using it for boil weevils
will control these worms.
That is two gallons per acre
of the dilution. This is made by
mixing one gallon of eight pounds
toxic t%oxaphene emulsion with
nine gallons of water.
If six pounds of toxic toxa-
phene is used then mix one gal
Ion with six gallons of water. APP
ply in all cases two gallons per
acre.
Among the mistakes some OF
the people are making is operat-
ing the tractor too fast and using
three nozzles per row. The trac-
tors should be driven from three
to five miles per hour and main
tain the pump pressure at 40
pounds.
1t is not a good idea to use DOT
concentrate in any of our poisons
since this has a tendency to cause
lice to build up.
Main Enemies: The three in
sects to look for now in cotton are
of course, boil weevils, boil worms
and fleahoppers.
Your aldrin spray will kill boil
weevils and fleahoppers. If you
have the boil worm then, Of cour-
Sc, switch to toxaphene for one
or two applications.
In case 3-5 mixture or 3-5-4O
is being used as a dust ten pounds
per acre should be used unless
boil worms become numerous,
then IS pounds of the dust should
be used per acre. This poison will
control practically all cotton in
SectS.
If washed off in less than ten
hours repeat application immedi-
ately, if it is washed off in ten
TO "a hours repeat the application
the 3rd day.
Toxaphene dust may be used
just IS effectively as the $50 or
3-5-40. But if toxaphene is wash
ed off within "a hours it should
be repeated Immediately.

Oldest Known VILLAGE
Excavated in Irau
BY the Associoisd Press

CHICAGO. Oct. s.-The Oldest
known village in the world-di.-
covered in 1916 by accident-has
been uncovered by University OF
Chicago archeologists.
The scientists reported yester-
day that Jarno. a village outside
the modern oil town of Kirkuk
in 1raq, had been scientifically
recovered"
Robert j. Braidwood, professor
OF old world pre-history, estimated
the village dated back to 5000
B. c. and was the size of a small
city block. He said it was found
to contain Is different levels, with
the lower two thirds representing
a pre-ceranic stage and the uppe,
third the pottery stage. The viii
lage was made up of about SO
mud-walled houses.
The site of Jarmo was dis
covered by accident in 1946 by an
Iraq official of the Iraq Director,
ate General of Antiquities. A
village sheik was observed using
a flint and steel to light a cigar
ette and it was found that the
flint proved to be a finely worked
product of the late Stone Age
The sheik showed where he found
the flint and Jarmo's site was dis
covered.
Prof. Braidwood, recently re-
turned from a years excavation
in 1raq, said the site has been
completely excavated and it gives
clear evidence Of village life in
an efficient peasant economy.
