Paid Not
Ponzi promised fifty per, cent.
Some few received the fifty-percent
vbut many received no interest and
lost their principal besides.
When people approach you with a
promise of big profits, just remember that it's better to obtain a, reasonable, rate of interest and have
your principal remain secure than
to take a chance at an impossible
profit and lose your investment.
After all it's a pretty good feeling
to know that your money is in a
good bank whicfi pays- you interest
regularly and your principal whenever you wish it.

your friends. * - ,

Army Worms Show Up
In Michigan Again
Reported  Damaging   Crows   in Sag'
inaw Bay District—M. A. C. Field
Man Investigating
Army worms are working on Michigan crops again this year, according to reports received by the Michigan Agricultural collefe from counties in the Saginay Bay district of
the state. Outbreaks in Alcona county (near Harrisville) and in Sanilac
county are said to be resulting in
extensive' damage.
The worms, which are capable of
cleaning up whole crops when they
appear in numbers, have been, reported from Sanilac, Tuscola, and
Huron counties for the last two
years, and are being watched closely
by specialists at the college. R. M.
Hain, held man of the M. A. G. entomology department, is working in
the infected district this w'eek, making an investigation ,of the recent
outbreaks.
"One hopeful sign about this year's
outbreaks," say£ Miss Eugenia McDaniel, of«the college entomology de-
partmeht, "is the faCjt that all the.
army worms sent have been parasitised with a fly which is expected
to aid in the control of the pest.
"Treatment in the control of these
worms should be applied at the time
they first appear. There are two
broods, one about the 4th of July
and the other late in August, and it
is at these times that control measures should be taken. It is probably too late now for control-.treatment, in places . where action has
not already been taken, for tbe
worms are going in to the pupa
stage."
The following information on control of army worms is given by
Prof. H. R. Pettit, head of the entomology department at M. A. C.
13ven though it is too late to. dOi
much tliis season, it is important that
farmers of the state have, a knowledge of the proper qontrol methods,
in order that they may ^ct at the
right time if the worms' put in an
appearance .next summer. Reports
of army worm outbreaks often reach
Ihe college too late for information
to be sent-into the district in time to
be effective.
"Two methods are in common use
in restricting the progress of army
worms. One depends on a barrier
to keep the worms, from 'spreading
into new aeries and the other actually kills the worms- The barriers
used consist of, two or three, deep
"furrows, plowed around the area infested, and spac.ed S or 10 feet apart.
Tiirn the furrows towand the advancing \ worms, in order that when the
worms tumble in the furrows they
will have to climb up the smooth,
land side in order to" get out, then
when these furrows fill up turn them
under, thereby, leaving fresh furrows
for the worms to fill. Now worms
work at night and. during lowery
weather and therefore, it will be
necessary to keep watch of things
all night for the few, days that elapse
before these .worms get full size and
descend into the ground.
.."Poison baits are most successful
when the worms are sctttered and
also, they may be used in addition
to the, ditching. The following formula is one that has be.en very successful in the past and . which is
easily filled."
Sift together 1 pound of paris-
green or 3-4 pound of white arsenic
(not' arsenate of lead) and 20 pounds
of bran; add half gallon of molasses
or syrup- and a little water, and-s'ir
in three oranges or lemons, ground
fine- in food-chopper, skins and a 11-
This may be -broad-casted over from
2 to 5 acres of land. It is -very attractive^ to both cut-worms and
grasshoppers. ^Do not try to substitute any other poison for the par-
is-green or white arsenic. Neither
arsenate of lead or calcium will do
the work unless very large quantities
are used. Neither should one use
this -bait where poultry are likely to
pick up much of it, although the
bait should be distributed in a finely
broken up condition rather than in
lumps?'

That wheat growers of the state
must be careful to plant at a "fly
free" date, in order to avoid loss
from Hessian fly, is -the statement of
Prof. J..F. Cox," head of the M. A. C.
farm orops department. These safe
planting datesv vary greatly for different parts of the state, local conditions governing the time.
"Hessian fly has caused great dam
age in Michigan wheat growing sections," says Prof. Cox, "particularly
in the southern part of the state.
For this reason it is highly advisable for wheat growers to plant at a
fly-free date, late enough to Insure
protection from the fly; and early
enough to give time for sufficient top
growth in the fall to carry through
the winter. /

The college
is" keeping
close watch on the fly conditions
and can furnish ,dates for individual
counties, based on fly situation. In
general, wheat should be planted In
the lower -two tiers of Michigan
counties between September 20 and
28; in the two central tiers September IS to 25; in horth-central Michigan, September 10 to 15; ' and in
northern Michigan August 25 to September 5. . It is difficult to generalize accurately, since the planting
date is a local question.
"Where the fly is very bad, planting in the latter part of these periods is advisable. It must be kept in
mind, however, that if wheat is
planted too -late in Michigan a decrease in the possible* yield can surely be expected, but It is equally important to . control the ily before
greater damage results."
iMdividual. farmers are urged to
inquire of their county agent or -farm
bureau manager in regard to their
local planting dates, or to write io
