GAS THE CORN WEEVIL.
Millions of dollars are lost every
year in the waste of corn caused by
weevils. This waste is unnecessary
because it can be so easily avoided.
True, it is a little expense to fit up a
crib for this purpose, but the extra
expense is soon made up by the sav¬
ing made. The crib must be tight
enough to hold the gas used as a poi¬
son. This could be easily made with
paper or roofing. The substance used
is carbon bisulphide and can be bought
at any drug store. It is highly vol¬
atile, offensive to the smell, poison¬
ous, and very dangerous as an explo¬
sive. It must be handled with care.
Level the corn in the crib, and place
the liquid in a flat vessel at the upper
surface. It will evaporate and the
vapor being heavier than air will go
downward, permeating every open
space, throughout all the shucks and
come in contact with every insect, rat
or anything else living in the corn. I
cannot say about how much required
to kill rats. For weevil treatment,
place 2 pounds of the poison for every
100 cubic feet of corn, Be sure that
no fire is allowed near while there is
any odor of the gas in the crib.
MEASURING CORN IN THE CRIB.
It requires about two bushels of
corn in the ear to make one shelled.
To find the capacity of a crib of corn
in the ear, find the number of cubic
feet and multiply by 2-5 or 4-10.
THE NAVAL STORE INDUSTRY.
The turpentine and rosin industry
is of considerable importance in the
United States, as indicated by the fig¬
ures recently put out by Bureau of
Chemistry of the Department of Agri¬
culture. The various industries
which use these products in their man¬
ufacturing reported that during the
calendar year 1924 they used a total
of 6,739,000 gallons of turpentine and
864, 350 round barrels of rosin. The
manufacturers included these reports
are makers of paints, varnish, soap,

BREAD MAKING CONTEST.
The contest for the Mitchell County
Club girls in bread making will be
held November 7th. In each com¬
munity a contest will first be held
from which three loaves scoring high¬
est will be sent to the county contest
at Camilla. These loaves will then
be judged and to the three girls whose
bread scores highest will be awarded
the following prizes:
1st, $12.50; 2nd, $7.50;' 3rd, $5.00.
In order that every contestant may
have before her an accurate recipe as
she works with her bread, we are
again having the following recipe
printed.
How to Make Good Bread.
(Overnight Sponge Process)
Preparing Sponge—In the evening
soak 1-2 cake of dry yeast in 1 cup
of lukewarm water or milk for 20
minutes. Add 2 cups of. sifted flour,
mix thoroughly, cover and let rise in
a warm place (80 degrees F.) over¬
night.
Making Dough—In the morning
add to the sponge 1 cup of lukewarm
water in which have been dissolved
2 teaspoons of salt, 2 tablespoons su¬
gar, 2 tablespoons of shortening
Next add about 4 cups of sifted flour.
Mix all together in bowl and turn on¬
to floured board. Knead for about
10 minutes until dough does not stick
to board, is smooth and elastic.
First Rising—Round up dough into
a ball and place in clean bowl lightly
SALEM DUBIOUS
ABOUT WITCHES
CITY IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE
BLAME FOR ORIGINATING
PRACTICE.
In the tercentenary celebration of
the next year, there seems to be a
somewhat divided opinion as to wheth¬
er the witchcraft delusion, with which
Salem is associated, should be fea¬
tured, says the Salem, Mass., News.
That epoch in Salem’s history
should most certainly be featured and
featured in the proper historic light
and emphasis laid on the episode his¬
torically and that is, that it was here
in Salem that the witchcraft delu¬
sion was pictured and the eyes of
the world opened to its horror.
Witchcraft did not originate here
in Salem. It had prevailed for years,
probably centuries, before Salem was
even thought of.
There is record of witchcraft in the
Bible.
England was a hot-bed of witch¬
craft long before the colonies were
established here, and the delusion
was brought to this country from
England.
Boston, as a matter of fact, had a
case of “witchcraft” before Salem. It
was in Boston that Mary Glover was
persecuted as a witch because she
could not recite the Lord’s prayer in
English, although she could do so in
Latin or Irish. We don’t recall just
which. While it did prevail here to
a marked degree for a while it re¬
mained for Salem to disillusion the
world in regard to witchcraft.
That is really a proud point in
Salem’s history. Without her witches,
Salem would be shorn of much of her
early history.
It is almost impossible to conceive
how much influence this delusion had
upon the lives of many prominent
men in. all'walks of life in Salem and
the surrounding towns.
Originating locally in the household
of Rev. Samuel Parris, of Salem vil¬
lage, the “scare” spread about with
alarming rapidity.
People dared not venture upon the
streets at night for fear they would
be apprehended and accused of witch¬
craft.
It even spread among the clergy,
divided congregations, heaped infamy
upon many respectable ministers and
not content with the destruction in
that direction, infected the judiciary.
Old Judge Sewall who presided at
the trials and sentenced many to
death came finally to a realization of
thereafter, it is said never smiled.
Diggers In Cuba
Uncover Relics
HAVANA.—Relics of Cuba’s past
are being contsantly brought to light
through exploration or preparation
for new buildings.
In Maeeo Park, now near the center
of the city but years ago some dis¬
tance from the city walls, workmen
uncovered a Store of hand grenades
and war material believed to have
been buried about the time of the ten
years war in the ’60s.
Repairs to the old Santa Clara Con¬
vent, completed in 1642 brought dis¬
covery of a secret tunnel which led
to a catacomb in which more than
one hundred skeletons were discov¬
ered.
Near Majagua, a farmer discovered
a lump of wax in a hollow tree. He
cut it out and found inside a revol¬
ver perfectly preserved, gold-mounted
and carved,'it was of a model popular
in the United States about 1865, and
was of the obsolete .36 calibre cap
and ball type.
greased. Cover dough well and set
it 8'2 in moderately warm place’ (about
degrees this time) and allow to
rise until doubled, about 2 1-2 hours.
It will then be tender and a touch of
the finger will leave an impression.
Kneading Down-Place dough on
molding board and knead about 2 min¬
utes. Should it stick to the board a
little flour may be sprinkled over it,
but as experience is gained no flour
will be found necessary, either at this
time or when molding the loaves, pro¬
vided the dough is made of the pro¬
per stiffness at the beginning.
Second Rising—Round up dough
and place in greased bowl. Cover and
let rise at 82 degrees until doubled
again, about 1 hour.
Molding Loaves—When dough has
doubled in bulk, it is ready for mould¬
ing. Plunge hand into it and fold it
over from sides to center until re¬
duced to original bulk. Turn onto
molding board, divide into two equal
portions, make into loaves and place
in lightly greased pans. Cover close¬
ly and set in moderately warm place
doubled in bulk.
Baking—In moderately hot oven
bake for about 50 minutes.

Kigger bit his dog.
First, he got down on all fours and
began to emit barks and growls that
elicited the mild interest of Buzz, his
brindle bulldog. When Kigger lung¬
ed forward at the same time that he
woof-woofed, Buzz looked annoyed.
But when Kigger held Buzz firmly
while he closed his teeth hard on a
mouthful of the dog’s back Buzz lost
patience and showed him what a real
bite was like, sinking his own teeth
deep into the flesh of Rigger’s head
and hands.
