tonunis'Jofier Page’s Weekly Letter.
I have reports this week from
farmers asking for information on
how to control the army worm and
the boll worm. To date the re
ports have all come from the rive
bottom sections. The army worm
is a blue-greenish slender worm
with black spots and stripes on his
back. When moving ne "bows” up
in the center. The damage done
is most severe in the late summer,
but he is present nearly all sum
mer. There are several genera
tions each year. That is why it is
necessary to kill off the early gen
erations now.
The army worm is controlled
with a Paris green spray. Arse
note of lead powder may also be
used. Mix about one pound of
Paris green with one pound of low
grade flour; this should spray one
acre. Five pounds of the arsenate
of lead should cover an acre. Two
rows can be dusted at one trip
across the field by balancing two
sacks across a mule's back.
The cotton boll worm is some
what darker than the army worm
and is a common garden pest.
This is the same worm that attacks
the ends of the ears of corn as well
as the bolls of cotton. The same
remedy for the army worm will
control the boll worm now. How
ever. remember, that you can de
stroy them if you will plow deep
this fall.
The control of these pests is a i
serious problem to some of us now
and we should by all means break ,
the land in the fall, not only for the \
worms, but other pests and the
other many good results that come
4 fr^>m fall plowing and growing win
ter cover crops. I only mention
the fall plowing because of its
close connection to the control of
crop pests. It is our best remedy
and in addition is the best method
for proper preparation. 1 have a
bulletin on the cotton boll worm I
which I will be glad to send you.
• If it rains it will be necessary to
apply again the above remedies.
And remember that both Paris
green and arsenate of lead are
deadly poisons. If the wind is
blowing tie a handkerchief across
your mouth. Do not swallow the
dust particles when you clear your
throat, and wash off the animals
that have been carrying the sacks.
Do not allow stock to eat where
poison has been applied.
The army worm may also be de
stroyed with a mixture of one pound
of Paris green, 50 pounds of wheat
bran, the juice from three or four
oranges, and make a dough of the
mixture with cheap black molasses.
Scatter this about in the parts of
the field infested with the worm.
And this fall make your prepa
rations for a great deal of fall plow
ing. It doesn’t matter whether
you have crop pests to control or
not. we have no means of knowing
whether they will reach our farm.
The greatest benefits will result in
having a winter cover crop, and in
having a good seed bed next year
and better soil.

Don’t Endure Headache.
Just get a bottle of Hunt’s Light
ning Oil and apply it to the head.
The aching is gone quickly, in some
cases insiant'y. Seldom fails to
give instant relief for neuralgia.
Fine for rheumatism also. ' Sold by
all druggists.
The Study Habit.
The man who has the study habit i
is an economist of time and a lover
of real success—he thinks more of,
the true and lasting success thanl
of the idle pleasures of the passing*
hours. He is not a recluse or a
theorist, but he has the study habit.
Of what valu ? are the “passing
hours” to us if we cannot appro- j
priate them to some future good?;
Recreation is essential or Jack will
be a dull boy: but too little s'udy
and too little recreation will have
the same effect. To mentally live,
and not merely exist, requires bra i
food. One must read and study tc
increase his mental "acreage” ant.
to keep his mind from getting
"rusty." Ex.
Funds Needed at Once.
The deed for the site of the Ar
kansas building at the Panama-Pa
cific Exposition requires that work
start on the building by August 15
Commissioner General F. B. T.
Hollenberg says the work will be
started on time. Calling upon in
dividuals, firms and organizations
for quick remittances, the commis
sioner general has issued a state
ment which says, "the need for im
mediate action is imperative.” The
Commissioner further states: "It
will mean a great deal more to the
commission to have immediate and
prompt support through partial
payments than to get the total
amount in one remittance later. I
hope that our public-spirited peo
ple who have determined to give
to this fund, will insure themselves
additional laurels by giving without
waiting to be formally and individ
ually solicited. Immediate action
at this particular time by the peo
ple throughout the state will confer
a benefit to this project far beyond
the face value of the checks that
may be sent us.” Checks should
be made Dayable to the commis
sioner general. Engraved certifi
cates will be sent all donors. It is
expected that this first request for
subscriptions will bring in enough
money to warrant advertisement
for bids on the btrikffng next week.
Charley Conn no Better.
The following letter has been re
ceived from Dr. J. L. Greene, su
perintendent of the State Hospital
for Nervous Diseases, at Little
Rock, by Mrs. Bertha Conn re
garding her husband. Charley Conn,
who is confined in that institution:
"Dear Madam:
"In reply to your letter of recent
date, 1 regret to inform you there
has been no noticeable change in
either your husband’s mental or
physical condition lately. H i s
health is such that it is necessary
that he remain in bed most of the
day. The rumor that he is dead is
entirely without fact. However, 1
am of the opinion that your hus
band will never get well, as he is
suffering from an incurable disease.
He is eating and sleeping fairly
weil at the present writing and
seems to be very well contented.
In the event he becomes suddenly
worse, you will be notified at once."
It’s a Good Letter after All.
Someone has advanced the opin
ion that the letter "e” is the most
unfortunate letter in the English
alphabet, because it is always out
of cash, forever in debt, never out
of danger and in hell all the time.
For some reason he overlooked the
fortunaces of the letter, as we call
his attention to the fact “e” is
never in war and always in peace.
It is the begginning of existence,
the commencement of ease and
the end of trouble. Without it
there would be no meat, no life and
no heaven. It is the center of
honesty, makes love perfect and
without it there could be no edi
tors,. devils nor news. — Fourth

In the Time of Need
If sudden sickness should cause the doctor to have to
come in haste to save your life or the life t>f some member
of your family, it. would be very embarrassing to have to let
him go away without his pay.
If fire should sweep away your home and household
goods, it would not be a pleasant task to ask friends to help
you out.
If the loss of your job or the change to a better one
should necessitate a long move, it would not be making a
good showing to have to borrow money to make the trip.
if the chance of a lifetime should come to you to invest
in some good and profitable business, it would not be a very
pleasant or encouraging experience to have to let it piss
you by because you aid no? have the money to take advan
tage.of your opportunity.
