" il k Dew-eyvill- e, A five day course in safety driving for school bus drivers was conducted at the high school this week. In charge of the course was E. Allen Jones, of the American Automobile Association and A. F. Abelhou-sen- , of the Union Pacific Stages. The purpose of the school was to make drivers more efficient in safeguard- ing children who ride with them. Officials of the state traffic department, board of education and road commission sponsored the training. Attending the classes were the 19 school bus drivers of this district, several of whom declared the course- to be highly beneficial in many respects. Figures show that over a period school bus drivers of this dis trict have a remarkably clean record They have carried an average of 923 pupils to and from school daily with an annual 87,350 mileage. Over a period they have ammassnd a total of 20,9(14,000 student miles, or enough distance to have carried one person 873 times around the earth at the equator. All this has been accomplished without a single serious accident. - ten-ye- ten-ye- DRIVE Committees Named At 1 Death Knell 1 y .Lawrence j tidftffi It Is a Town's He-b- CLEAN-U- P "Although the way is long and rough, J'J-.CZ'-AlthougKeep your shoulders back; the going may be tough, Keen vour shoulders hnr!r! t vSvTvV.'(W THKr ( l&hr M Vnn'll GriA " V,n oo,VI Feel weak and weary now atu. then, A but soon their heads are up again; f W 4JS 1 ' " a Tr i " i.t u "ff .

County County Agricultural Agent Robert Stewart wishes to call all farmers attention to the fact that there is a tremendous infestation of cut worms in many parts of this county this year. He suggests that you check up on your soil and your crops, and if the cutworm infestation is great be prepared to destroy them before the crops are damaged badly. A very mild winter permiti iiiKctr, to live over and always gives insects an opportunity to make rapid increases. The early warm weather during March caused the cut worms to be come active, and later cooler, mild weather has stimulated the worms to come to the surface and feed. The cutworm usually feeds in the night, but due to the favorable weather conditions they are now feeding both in the day time and in the night. The rainy weather temporarily causes them to burrow a short distance under the surface of the ground or to hide In the crowns of alfalfa or grass sod. The following bait is recommended for poisoning the cutworms while In the worm stage: 2 pounds white arsenic, 25 pounds coarse bran, 2 pounds sugar or sytu; Water sufficient to moisten. Tin's bait should be mix"d so it does not held together in lai'fie portions, but In particles about the size of a pea or medium sized nimble. Broadcast the bait on the surface of inf(ted lands.
