USE PLANE TO FIGHT SWARMS OF INSEGTS IN CATALPA GROVE

fBv Associated Press) DAYTON". O.. Aug. 11. Death that rushed through the air with a roaring hum has saved a six-acre grove of ratalpa trees on the H. A. Carver farm at Troy. Converting an airplant into a killer of insects is what saved the trees. The plane sifted arsenate of lead over the grove, doing in a few minutes what it would take many men and days of spraying to accomplish. It completely annihilated millions of in

sects that were busily at work trying lo defoliate the trees, as they had done once before this summer. C. R. Neille, Cleveland. Originator of the idea of eradicating destructive insects, communicated his plan to the Ohio Experiment station at Wooster. N'eille, Wooster officials and a number of farmers witnessed the demonstration, t Early this summer, Carver's grove of catalpa trees was defoliated by a swarm of insects which attacked the trees over night, experts reported the trees would leaf again this summer. That happened, but for the second time the trees were threatend with defoliation. Lieutenant John R. MacReady flew to Troy with a makeshift hopper, similar to a flour sifter, attached to the side of his ship. He was accompanied by E. Dormoy. McCook Field designer. Powdered arsenate of lead was placed in the hopper, equipped with a crank, and the start was made. Relying on the wind and currents from the propellor to carry the powder to the proper place, the ship was piloted to the leeward of the tract, and without difficulty the entire grove was saturated with the deadly powder. Dormoy is understood to be working on a new snravine device which will

simplify the disposal of the powder

from the air. Mc Cook neia oniciais

have indicated their willingness to co-operate with farmers and the department of agriculture In combating insects and tree infection.

Circus Will Be Here in All Its Spangles Tomorrow

" f$i ,

One of the big features with the Al G. Barnes four ring wild animal circus which comes to Richmond tomorrow is the spectacle, "Alice in Junglelapd", produced under the personal supervision of Mr. Barnes. Countless animals and scores of persons, including a challenge singing and dancing beauty chorus of former "movie girls" participate in this pageant. One of the 110 thrilling numbers is pictured above.

The circus is coming to town tomorrow, and boys and girls of all ages, sizes and conditions to say nothing of their sisters, daddies and mothers are getting ready to hit thi sawdust trail. At the railway yards railroad men and switch engines are today clearing the tracks that will require to store the many cars of the Al. G. Barnes big four-ring wild animal circus as they arrive here. Railway officials figure that the first train the "flying squadron" will reach the yard limits about dawn. Unloading will begin immediately and the long cavalcaces of red wagons, golden chariots, heavily loaded vans, dens of horses, wild animals and all

paraphernalia be moved from ths

train to the show grounds.'

Those who gather to watch the cir

cus arrive will see the largest collec

tion of trained wild animals ever essembled beneath one !anvas, the largest show of its kind in the world, according to Thos. Francis Heney, representative of the circus, who is in the city today making final arrangements for the big show and the parade. Depend on Animals Depending entirely on trained animals to give the entertainment, the Barnes circus stands forth as the circus different from all others. It's a big four-ring circus with acre3 of tents, parade glories bands, clowns and sawdust. Itis from Lewis Carrl's book of "Alice in Wonderland" that Barne3 has taken his character of his opening, feature pageant and transplanted her into the heart of a real jungleland, weaving around her, as if by magic not only a beautiful setting but a fairy paradise. "Alice inJungle-

land" will be the title of this charm

ing opening feature, that will be a charmer and natural history study for young and old. In keeping with other feature is promised that the street parade will surpass all records as to both length and brillancy. t A two-mile long street parade will leave the show grounds at 10:30 a.m. Doors to the big 6how open at 1 and 7 p.m., allowing the visitors one hour to visit the mammoth menagerie listen to a 40-piece concert band and get acquainted with the animal actors.

The Theatres I

MURRAY. An unusual bit of photography is shown in "The Silver Car." which will be the attraction ?t the Murray theatre Thursday. This is a room photographed through a keyhole. The old way of placing a keyhole mark before the camera did not suit David Smith, who directed Earle Williams in this production. To much of the room is visible by artificial means, so director and cameramen experimented. They tried placing the camera before this actual keyhole and "shooting" the

room on the other side of the door. After several trials it was found that the room might easily be photographed, providing the lighting arrangement was adequate, so director and cameramen placed themselves on one side of the door while actors got busy on the other. The scene wa3 "shot." and when the film was developed it was found that the effect was unusual, and different from any keyhole photography that had ever been thrown upon the screen. MURRETTE. Page Judge Landis! Pauline Starke, charming screen actress, whose enthusiasm over baseball has earned her the title of the "champion fannette" at the Whitman Bennett studios and who has the leadins feminine role in First National s

"Salvation Nell," in which she will be

seen at the Murrette theatre inur?--day, favors a new law for the muzzling of curious feminine spectators who persist in asking questions at ball earaes. In this proposal ,it might b'i noted. she will have the enthusiastic support cf every regular male fan. To back up her contention the film

favorite recalls the opening game at the Polo Grounds in New York this season. She attended the game, accompanied by a feminine friend who claimed to be a fan. As they found their seats, the friend opened her questioning attack. She wanted to know the why of this and the whence of that. If there was anything she forgot to ask about it was an unintentional oversight. "I know a great deal about baseball," she assured Miss Starke, "but I need to brush up on a few of the technical rules. Tell me, what are they all trying to do those fellows in the ball suits?" Hence the determination to "Muzzle 'em!"

Hens Need Good Care and Feeds in the Summer

In the rush of summer work the hens often are neglected on many farms. This is poor economy, because the care they receive then will determine to a large extent the profits to be realized. The poultrymen of the Department of Agriculture advise that hens be given free range, if possible, during the summer months, and if they can not be given free range that as much green feed be furnished as they will readily consume. Milk is excellent during the summer months. Buttermilk also may be used, or semisolid buttermilk if the regular buttermilk is not obtainable. Even when the fowls have range, if the grass is dried up it is advisable to furnish green feed or milk. Milk will take the place of green feed. Be sure that the hens have a constant supply of clean water all of the time. The department advises feeding about equal parts of scratch grains and of mash for the average during

the year, but the pullets will not eat the dry mash freely in the fall, so that it is necessary to feed them about 2 parts of scratch feed to 1 part of mash, reducing this to about equal parts of mash and scratch feed Feb. 1, and still further reducing the scratch feed about June 1 so that the hens will eat nearly 2 parts mash to 1 part of scratch feed. Feed scratch grains lightly in the morning and give a full feed in the evening, feeding roughly about three times as much scratch grains in the evening as in the morning. Different flocks will consume different amounts of feeds, but roughly the following amounts should be fed: Pounds cf scratch feed to 100 hens. I iGeneral

TIMELY HINTS

Whelan Says: Barnes' circus will unload at 5 o'clock Friday morning on the C. & O. railroad at Automatic Tool company. Onions that have stopped growth should be pulled and allowed to ripen on the ground, when tops re dried, cut them off and store "the onions in a cool dry place.

Evergreens may be transplanted now.. Keep the roots wet while being moved and covered. Use plenty of water and keep the plant sprayed until root action has started and they have a grip.

Keep all dead flowering shoots removed, particularly from perennials. They make a garden unsightly and reduce the plant's vigor.

Keep a sharp lookout for borers on trees, particularly locust, poplars and fruits. Kill them by running a steel wire in the openings.

Set your mark at standardbred poultry. Such poultry offers a greater combination of practical and utility quality suitable to the needs of the farmer and poultry keeper.

Plenty of fresh, clean water is absolutely necessary for all growing chickens. In hot weather it should be given twice daily and put into fountains or dishes and placed in the shade to keep cool as possible. Clean the water dish thoroughly every day before filling.

Seed Certification Work More Popular Seed certification work, which was started by the Indiana Corn Grower's Association last year, in an effort to locate sources of pure seed for Indiana farmers, has grown rapidly, a report on the work by W. A. Ostrander of the soils and crops extension staff of Purdue university shows. To July 1 a total of 106 farmers in forty-seven coun

ties had made application to have their fields inspected with the view of having them certified, if possible to pass the rigid test necessary. Their acreage totaled 1,541, of which 987 was wheat. All of the wheat which was plac ed on the certified list had to show 99 per cent of one variety, and also had to be free from rye, cheat, cockle, onion or stinking smut and have less than 1 per cent of loose smut. The list was limited to eight varieties which have been shown in variety tests to be high yielders and to possess good milling qualities. The varieties chosen are: Michigan Amber, Red Chaff. Rudy, Fultz, Poole, Turkey Red, Red Rock and Michikoff. "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY" Sam says: "When a feller gets' my age. he'd ruther not wash up and go out to see folks of evenings. That's a bad way to get. The best cure is just wash up and go.
