Toxaphene Spray
Kills Worms Best
Says Expert

Reports of "Armyworms" in
Madison County have been coming
in rapidly and warnings have been
issued to be on the lookout for the
pests.
Several farmers in southern and
eastern Madison County have re-
ported armyworm infestations ac-
cording to John Moore, County Ag-s
ricultural Agent. Bluegrass pas
lures, timothy, bronze grass and
wheat fields are responsible for
their development Armyworms
have moved into edges of some
corn fields.
Farmers will want to keep a
close watch on their crops the next
ten days to two weeks after that
time the worms will be killed by
parasite insects.
DR.. T. H. Parks, State Extension
Entomologisl, sta,.s arrnyworms
can be killed by spraying with tox-
aphene emulsion as soon as worms
are noticed feeding on corn. Toxa-
phene dosage is 1& to 2 pounds of
actual toxaphene per acre. This
means 3 pints of the 500 toxa-
phene emulsion concentrate in
whatever water it takes to cover 1
acre. Stop up nozzles, except the
ones to direct spray on corn rows.
Armyworms can be killed with
poison bran mesh base scatter
broadcast. The formula can be OBJ
tanned at the Extension Office.
DDT has been used as a spray.
but is inferior to toxaphene. 1t
takes 6 pints of the $3.50 emulsion
per acre. Damage starts first in
small grain where the worms
hatch and feed on lower leaves
first. They feed at night and hide
under clods and trash by day. Look
for them if lower leaves of wheat
or rye are eaten. Greatest damage
will come to corn joining wheat.
They march out of the ripening
wheat or grassland to Joining
corn. The loss mounts rapidly each
day.
Armyworms do NOT bother le-
gumes, or vegetables other than
corn. Many questions have been
asked according to John Moore on
what assistance is available as far
as State appropriations for fight
ing the armyworms. DR.. Parks
states that no funds are available
or have been appropriated in any
county in Ohio for combating the
armyworms. DR.. Parks states that
farmers should keep a vigilant
watch on crops, but not to spray
until they do see a large number
of worms, because the infestation
will be spotty. If farmers have any
questions on availability of insecti-
cides or control methods to use.
call the County Agricultural Ex-
tension Office.

Sheriff To Send
All Drunk Cases
To Judge Bell

Sheriff Harold Bidwell said
Monday that all offenders appre-
hended by his office on drunken
driving charges will go before
Judge James F. Bell. The sheriff
said that the procedure adopted
will constitute a "bill of informa-
ton" which will be sent to Prose-
cutor Forrest Sidener, who, in
turn, will present the cases to
Judge Bell. The common pleas
court is the only court of record in
Madison county and it was point
ed out that only a court of record
can suspend drivers licenses.
Meanwhile, Judge Bell has gone
on record as stating that all Of
tenders found guilty on drunken
driving charges will be given 10
day Jail sentence in addition to Ii
cense suspension plus a fine if
necessary. One case was disposed
of in this manner only a week ago
when a Columbus man started
serving a ten day sentence.
Two new cases are now pending,
the sheriff said. Deputy Robert AL
lison arrested Wilbur (Cappy)
Russell, 40, London, and Aurelius
Williams, 81, Springfield, during
the weekend. Both will face Judge
, Bell this week. Russell was arrest
ed and charged with being in
physical control of an auto vehicle
while intoxicated The charge was
placed against Russell when it was
reported to the sheriff's office that
he had been driving allegedly un-
der the influence of alcohol. Rus
sell was not in his car when arrest
ed but, according the Deputy AL
lison, was arrested when it was
established that he had been driv-
ing while under the influence" !"
Williams was apprehended in his
car by Deputy Allison and charged
with operating an auto while in
toxicated.

Sanitation Dept.
Reports New Nigh

The municipal refuse disposal
service has reached a new high in
volume of business and number of
customers, according to informa-
ton received from the Department
of Sanitation office.
1t was also reported that the
customers, for the most part, are
cooperating whole-heartedly by
handling their refuse in such a
manner as to avoid needless col
lection difficulties for the. SANTA
ton personnel. There is, however,
some room for Improvement in the
following respects: 1. Oversize
trash cans should be replaced with
covered containers of not more
than 80 gallon capacity. 2. Loose,
bulky material should be compact
ed as much as possible, brush
should be cut into short pieces. 3.
All containers should have lids. a.
Garbage should be wrapped in
paper. 5. Refuse should not be
piled in alleys without making ar
rangements for its removal, and in
no case in such a manner as to OBJ
Struct vehicle traffice.
Attention to the above details
will do much to improve service
and tighten the burdens of the
Sanitation Department employees,
manager Eitel Frederick said.

ARMY WORM
TERMED WORST
IN DECADE

Ohio is experiencing the worst
army worm invasion in 10 years
says T. H. Parks, extension ento-
mologist at Ohio State University.
Parks first reports came from
six counties in the southern half OF
the state. Five days later, "a coun-
ties had reported army worm DAM
age to small grain and the invad-
ers had moved as far northeast as
Tuscarawas County.
The outbreak will continue
through most of June. Those
worms that survive by the end of
June will be killed by parasitic
insects" Parks says. Too few will
survive to do much damage later
in the summer.
The worms hatch and do their
first damage by feeding on lower
leaves in small grain. They do
most of their feeding at night and
on cloudy days.
Greatest damage will come to
corn joining wheat and blue grass
meadows" Parks says. THE loss
mounts rapidly each day."
Army worms can be killed with
poisoned bran bait scattered
broadcast or by spraying them
with toxaphene emulsion as soor
as they show up in the crop.
Parks says 11a quarts of 60 per,
cent toxaphene an acre applied ir
heavy stands of wheat by airplane
are producing good results. Planes
do not do as well in young corn
however, as ground sprayers. Tex.
aphene dosage on corn is same as
for wheat.
Parks calls DDT "a poor sub.
stitute for toxaphene" in army
worm control. County extension
agents have details of armyworn
control and known sources o.

@# J0VvN
NEWSPAPERS
Newsmen are all agreed
that the following are the
worst headaches in the busi-
ness-Misspelled words, false
news reports, anonymous let
ters, long-winded reports on
meetings, poetry, pictures,
that are too dark for printing
and, of all things, BILLS!
And to make things even
worse, all the new houses are
built without porches for the
carrier-boys to miss!
TREATMENT
The little bsy stood rigidly
still, his hands fast to his sides
as the doctor checked him
over. Can you move your
arms?" asked the medico.
mo sir" said the boy.
Cant you even move your
hands?" asked the doc.
Cant even move my hands,"
said the boy.
will you try real hard to
move them for me?"
mo, sir" said the boy, IF
I do my pajamas will fall
down."
BIRTH
Heard this one from an inn
aginary fellow who sits on our
shoulder whispering into our
ear. Anyway, a woman was
filling out an application
blank and came to a question
which stopped her momen-
tarily. Are you a natural
born citizen of the United
States?" questioned the ques-
ton.
Lady frightened and put
down-"No. Caesarean."
WIMMIN
# you don't praise a woman
enough, she thinks you don't
love her any more-praise her
too much and she thinks she's
100 good for you" so says old
Haywood Snugg. the Don Juan
of Buzzard's Glory.
Even if you tell a woman
crime is on her head" says
Haywood, "she wants to know
if it's on straight!"
LIkkER
Two raw, red topers stood
at bar drinking raw, red
liquor. One collapsed to the
floor and the other told the
bartender, That's what like
about old Bill-always knows
when to stop"

If you would live within
your income-live without the
outgo.
COLLEGE DAZE
This is the time of year
when many graduate thinks
he's hit the Jackpot because
he has his ALB. What he does
MT know is that he is about to
learn the rest of the alphabet.
ADAGE
Our idea of the meaning of
the old adage, Misery Loves
Company" is to sit around
with bunch of people who all
talk at once and nobody list
ems to anything another has to
say.
HUMMN!
Never could understand why
wild" girls can be petted so
much easier than tame" ones.
It's getting so that the
mothers start worrying when
daughter gets in too early.
ADVERTISING
A newspaper is like ticket
to a good show +. that is, a
ticket which sells at prem
ium price usually means that
the show is a smash. People
pay for our newspaper on the
same theory. If the paper
weren't any good we would
give it away like a handbill.
And a newspaper has lasting
quality that cannot be had in
radio and TV!
INVENTION
Commercial manufacture of
heat pump is now possible.
Latest estimates list the cost
at around $1,000 The heat
pump is a device which, in
winter, uses the heat of the
earth to warm your home. In
summer, the system is revers-
ed so that the heat of your
house is put back into the
ground. Thus, you have a fuel
less heating and cooling sys-
tenn which will last a lifetime
