Spray Frnit Trees Now,
The "calyx" spray is the most Im
portant single spray of the summer
for apples. One can start applying
this spray when the bloom is about
two-thirds off, and it should be giv
en before the blossom end or calyx
end of the apple closes up. Putting
the spray on within a week after
the petals fall is most effective. The
spraying should be started early in
a large orchardy to allow for windy
or rainy weather or other things
which may interrupt the work.
The calyx spray does more to con
trol the coddling moth which causes
wormy apples than any one spray.
Early worms attempt to enter the
(the winning county news reporter),
Union; Edith Xelson. Mary Alice apple through the blossoms or calyx
vill take up will be that of towels
The next meeting will be on Sat
urday. May 7th.

Robertson, Eagle; Vincent Kehmeier,
Fiances Meier and Merton Xorris,
Weeping Water; Maizo Foreman,
Palmyra; and John Hobscheidt, Mur
ray, will ha among the 400 boys and
girls, and leaders, to attend Boys and
Girls Club Week. The fourteenth an
nual Boys and Girls Club Week will
start at the Agricultural College
campus. Lincoln. Nebraska, on May
30 and will continue to Saturday,
June 4. The above 4-II club mem
bers from Cass county have won
their trips through outstanding 4-11
club work.
Club week is open, first of ell, to
winners of prize trips to Club Week,
which have been awarded for spec
ial achievement in 4-H club work;
to delegates from 1932 -P-IT clubs;
to local leaders; and, to other 4-H
club members between the ages of
13 and 19 years inclusive.
A fee of $10 will be charged to
each one not awarded a prize trip,
for board and lodging from the noon
meal Monday, to and inaluding
breakfast Saturday. From the suc
cess of club weeks in the past we
feel that any club will be greatly
benefited by sending a , delegate to
club week. Several clubs last year
paid the expenses of their delegates
from their club treasury. However
ir.my 4-II club boys and girls are
fortunate in being able to pay their
own expenses.
If you are interested in attending
club week, see the county extension
agents fcr an application blank,
which, together with the club week
end. Putting on the spray before
this blossom end closes up gets a
nice poison bait of spray into the
calyx ready for the worm when he
hatches out.
The materials to use for the spray
are: gallons of liquid lime sul
ful or four pounds of dry sulful with
1 pounds of lead arsenate to 50
gallons of water. The lead arsenate
is the poison for the worms while
the lime sulful is for the control of
scab and other diseases. This for
mula i3 good for apples, pears, cher
lies and plums.
The next spray should be applied
about two weeks after the first one
and on all fruits with the same ma
terials. Call at the Farm Bureau of
fice for the revised spray bulletin
for more detailed information.

Where the second year clover is to
be used for pasture this creates
different problem.
Une Important point to keep in
mind when plowing ' under sweet
clover in the spring is to do the work
as late as possible. Ordinarily, plow
ing under the second week in May
will give the greatest possible bene
fit from the clover.
In seven of the past ten years
corn planted from May 10 to 30th
has produced more than that planted
earlier. This planting date works
well with the late plowing of sweet
clover because the fresh, watery
stems decay in a very few days and
cause no trouble in planting.
Come on You 4-H'ers
Applications for 1932 4-H clubs
have been received daily during the
past week and we are hoping that
our goal of 650 boys and girls in 4-H
club work this year will soon be real
ized. The new clubs who have join
ed the ranks this week are:
Practical Poultry Producers, James
Wall, Eagle, leader, with 26 mem
bers.
T. N. T. Cooking Club, Maize Fore
man, Palmyra, leader, with 8 mem
bers. l -
Yum-Yum Cooking Club, Mrs. Al
bert Shelhorn, . Louisville, leader,
with eight members.
Coo-Coo Cooks, Mis3 Margarethe
Dornemeier. Elmwood, leader, with
6 members.
Pleasure & Profit Clothing Club,
Mrs. Clarence Ackles, Liouisville,
leader, with 6 members:
Fairy Wand Clothing Club, Mil
dred Nelson, South Bend, leader, with
8 members.
A good many of the above clubs
carried first year work in these pro
jects last, year and are going ahead
with second year work this summer.
If your community enjoyed having a
4-H rlub last year we are looking
for their reorganization again this
year. If you need help In getting
organized, don't hesitate to ask the
county agents for assistance. Any
congenial group of five or more boys
or girls between the ages of ten and
twenty years, may organize for 4-H
club work. The agents will be glad
to help an interested group secure a
local leader to take charge of the
club.
Washington, April 26. Payment
of more than a quarter of a million
dollars to New York financial writ
ers for "ballyhooing" stocks in which
brokers were "riggin gthe market'
was charged today by Representative
La Guardia, a surprise witness in the
senate abnking committee's investi
gation of the stock market.
The swarthy, stocky New York re
publican laid before the committee a
trunk load of documents and news
paper clippings to support his charge
that $286,279 was paid by one pub
licity agent to newspaper financial
writers for boosting various stocks.
Almost the full membership of
the committee and a packed room of
spectators were present for La Guar
dia's testimony, which had been de
scrinea Dy tjnairman .Noroeck as a
big surprise."
With vigorous gestures the color
ful New Yorker drew out of his mys
terious trunk, which had been under
police guard for a week, a number of
cancelled checks indorsed by New
York financial writers back in 1924
and 1925.
These totaled only S6.555, but La
Guardia said A. Newton Plunimer,
New York publicity agent, could tell
to whom he had paid 171 thousand
dollars.
Now Dead or Jobless.
Plummer would not reveal to whom
the remainder went. La Guardia said.
because the men are now dead or out
or jods. tie said Plummer is now
under indictment, but did not give
the details.
The New Yorker took sharp issue
with a statement before a ,house
committee by Richard Whitney, pres
ident of the New York Stock Ex
change, that brokers do not promote
or "ballyhoo" stocks.
As La Guardia told of stock pools
in the past. Senator V. atson (rep.,
Ind.) asked:
"Have you anything fresh?"
"I believe the same sordid story
could be told of almost every pool
stock." tho witness replied. "I be
lieve, the same thing took place with
the Kreuger . stocks."
Challenging Whitney's statements
again. La Guardia said the public
had not bought because of a fever
ish desire to speculate but because
it was deceived. World-Herald.

FREMONT COUPLE WEDDED
The wedding of Miss Maude Schil
ler and Herman Anthony, both of
Fremont, occurred on Tuesday after
noon at the office of Judge A. H.
Duxbury. The marriage was wit
nessed by Claud C. Smith and A. W.
Farmer, clerk in tho office of . the
judge. Following the wedding the
young people -motored back to their
home.
The second trial of the suit of Ed
ward McLaughlin, Havelock world
war veteran, culminated at Lincoln
Monday when the case was given to
the jury in federal court.
Mr. McLaughlin is known to many
of the residents of this city as he
has been a visitor here frequently in
the past years and a great deal of
nterest is felt in his case.
Two years ago a Jury awarded the
Havelock veteran $6,895 but the gov
ernment appealed and the highe
court sent the case -back for anoth
er trial.
McLaughlin suffered an attack of
influenza while in service at Kelly
field. San Antonio, the jury was told
in the opening statement by C. F.
Reavis, and spent three weeks fur
lough at home. Ho suffered from
excessive sleepiness, and on his re
turn to Texas was put on very light
work. He was discharged in March
of 1919 and his $10,000 policy
lapsed at the end of May. During
March he returned to his former Job
in the Havelock shops, tho ill at the
time. He lost the use of one arm
and in the following March was at
tacked by delirium and hallucina
tions, and was treated at the state
hospital. His illness was pronounced
encephalitis, and left him with the
palsy and impaired faculties that
were apparent as he sat in the court
room.
The government maintains, F. H.
Wagener of Omaha told the jury,
that McLaughlin s disability arose
after his discharge from the army
and after his policy lapsed, that he
worked a year after his discharge.
and that he isn't entitled to collect
on the policy. Mr. Wagner is a spec
ial assistant district attorney in
charge of war risk cases and is as
sisting District Attorney Van Pelt
in the trial. Richard F. Wood is as
sociated with Mr. Reavis. The plain
tiff's father, Thomas J. McLaughlin
of Havelock, was the first witness and
recapitulated much of the story set
forth in the opening statement.
