REMOVE OLD RASPBERRY CANE Old fruiting canes, of raspberries should be removed after the last pick­ ing in the summer, These canes are of no value to the planting and their removal permits new canes to grow. Cutting out and burning the old caheB after harvest also help control diseas­ es in the planting. The row middies should be thor­ oughly cultivated and a clover crop seeded. Buck-wheat, oats, or German millet, which winterkill will be easier to turn under and will improve the condition of the soil.

WILL VOTERS GET TO VOTE ON LOCAL OPTION THIS FALL There has been much speculation as election time draws nearer as to re­ ports concerning a local option elec­ tion. What ever is done the petition must bo filed with the Board of Elec­ tions before August 8 atr'six o’clock. We understand those who favor the local option are undecided us to when the election should be called, at the regular election in November or at a special election. Those sponsoring the cause can ask for a vote covering the entire village or can create wards and only those in certain-wards would be permitted to vote, For instance a ward could be created by petition that would include all the business district and only a portion of the residential district. The ward or district con be circular- in form or oblong or square, jpst so the boundry lines are distinct. Ross Twp.

AUTO OWNER FINED $25 FOR NOT HAVING USE STAMP OIL CONTROLS CORN EARWORM, Protection of sweetcorn against in­ jury by the corn earworm is not too difficult in small plantings. For con­ trol use a commercially prepared oil and apply with a medicine dropper or oil can to the silks of the corn. The dose is about one-fourth of a tea­ spoonful or 20 drops. . Timing should be exact. Wait at least three days after the silks first ■spear at the tip of the ear before ap­ plying the oil. This allows time for the fertilization of the ear. After a- bout three days, the silks will be wilt­ ed nnd the tips beginning to turn brown. With the dropper or oil can place the dose of oil in .the silk about a quarter inch inside the silk mass in­ side the tip of the hustc. Every now and then some one says the government cannot collect the $5 use stamp required for automobiles and trucks. To all such we see by a Columbus pnper where John Parsons, McCon- nelsville, O., was fined $25 Tuesday by .Judge Mel Underwood at Colum­ bus in Federal Court. Brother, if you have not made the $5 stamp purchase even though it is a nuisance tax, you had better put up the $5.00 tax or the New Deal policeman will get you, Mrs. Fred Clemans nnd Mrs. Bert Carroll, ahd little Pamela, Heifner spent the week-end in Blanchester aft guests of Mrs, Clarence J .

S. for ,three years and this summer attend­ ed O. S. U. The larger schools in the state and nation are outbidding local boards financially for school talent.

Government Sells Rancid Butter To Procter & Gamble Some weeks ago Mayor LaGuardia, New York City, reported aftqy.an in­ vestigation, that several- hundred thousand pounds of butter was going to waste due to high red ration point values. The consumers did not have , the points to purchase the butter and it began to pile up not only in tKht city but other cities. Later the OPA made .a reduction in butter point re­ quirements but not until the excess - butter was spoiling. The War Food Administration im­ mediately denied that butter was go­ ing to spoil or would be sold for mak­ ing soap. Over the week-end reports were published that several hundred thous­ and pounds of rancid butter owned by the government had been Sold some days ago to soap manufacturers. • Tuesday when a reporter aSked the Proctor & Gamble Co., Cincinnati, if that concern had purchased spoiled butter frbm the government, the man­ agement admitted-a purchase of 90,- 000 pounds was made from which the company made 135,000 pounds of soap, Meantime Sec. Anderson of the Ag. Dept,, let his foot,slip in report­ ing U k re would be no need of ration­ ing soap as there was plenty of it. At> that very hour housewives were walking miles daily through all kind of -stores hunting soap, not only for the laundry but for the bath, Local stores have been without soap such as housewives use daily in the powdered form for weeks, The same can be said of the large chain stores ih Xenia and nearby counties.
