DEATH HOUSE NEARING COMPLETION
When Finished it Wil Be Most Mode:n
Electrocution Plant in the World,
A dispatch from Bellefonte to the
Philadelphia Record lest Friday, re-
ferred to the building of the death
house on the new pen site as follows :
While from 75 to 100 prisoners on the
new State penitentiary farms in Ben-
ner township, Centre county, are har-
vesting tha 10,000-bushel wheat crop,
5000 tons of hay and other immense
products of the fertile fields, and all of
them working cheerily without armed
guards, work is progressing steadily
also on the prison death house, which
is to be the most modern elec!rocution
plant in the world.
It is being built of reinforced con-
crete, walls two feet thick, aud the re-
ivforcement of steel bars so closely in-
terwoven that when completed the
building will be impregnable.
The building consists of two wings,
each about 60 feet in length by 30 in
width, One wing will be two stories
high and contain the cells where con-
demuned prisoners will be kept. The
other will contain the electrocution
chamber, jury room, warden’s office
and reception room. The dynamo
and switches will be located in a cham-
ber beneath the central hallway.
The death house is located on the
southern slope of the plateau where
the main prison bulidings will be
I>cated, and the last glimpse a con-
demuned prisoner will have as he enters
the building will be the beautiful
scenery in McBride's gap in Nittany
Mountain where the big impounding
dam will be built,
Meanwhile, the only semblance of a
prison as yet upon the grounds—aside
from the staking of the grounds for
the most complete and ideal iosti-
tution of the sort on earth—is the
temporary barbed-wire stockade of two
acres, where the farm laborers under
sentence spend their nights, one to
two miles from the ecenes of their
work by day.
Every man is on his honor, and inp
their year on the farms only six have
attempted to escape. There is no
brooding or discontent, In fact, their
life very little differs from any labor-
er’s on a farm, except acertein amount
of surveilapce at night.
Their life is not one of all
either, Cloge to the stockade is an
athletic fleld. The prisones have
organized two baseball teams, and in
the evenings, and sometimes on Ban-
day, some very excitiog games are
played.

The Army Worm Is Here
For the past few weeks reports came
from all parts of the country, and prio-
cipally from the eastern rection, of
the terrible destruction done by the
army worm. Eatire fields of grass
and corn were destroyed by this pest
and the aid of the state department
was enlisted to exterminate the ver
min, but it kept up its march. It now
appears in Penns Valley and has been
\seen in oats and barley fields and the
grass on many lawns ia suffering from
the ravages of the army worm.
Prof. H. A. Burface, State Zologist,
in a bulletin issued this week says:
The army worm is nothing more nor
less than a kind of cutworm. There
are many kinds of vegetation upon
which they do not feed. For example,
clover and alfalfa are left alone, while
grass, oats, corn and the other cereals
when not too ripe are readily devoured.
The directions for killing the worm
as given by Prof. Barface consists of
nothing more than either to spray
with oue-half ounce of arsenate of lead
in each gallon of water, or to apply
such liquid as a sprinkle from sprink-
ling cane, or to mix dry arsenate of
lead with about twenty-five times its
bulk of flour, or dust, or powder of
any kind, and dust it over the vege-
tation liable to be attacked. The dust
should be applied In tbe evenivg or
morning while the dew is on, or after
sprinkling or spraying the vegetation,
A coarse pepper Fox conteiniog arsen
ate of lead and flour will protect any
lawn from the peste.
Field crops are best protected by the
uee of a spray pump, Ditches, pitfall
holes, traps and rollers are all unsatis-
factory and more or less ine flective.

BMALL QUANTITY OF LIYE BESY,
State College Expert Warns Farmers
Against Using Too Much ime,
Farmers applying large quantities
of limestone to correct soil conditions,
no matter serious, are losing
money, is the conclusion reached by
Professor J. W. White, an sgronomy
expert of the Pennsylvania State Col.
lege. He bas just completed an ex.
periment that convioeced him that
small applications of ground limestone
are more economical than heavy ones,
and he believes his findings will resuit
in tremendous savings to the agricul
tural interests of the country,
When discussing his work, Professor
White said : ** The experiment recent.
ly finished was to study the eflect of
different amounts of ground limestone
when applied to very acid soils. We
found that a large excess of limestone
bad a depressing effect on the growth
of clover, and on the basis of the ex-
periment concluded that limestone
added in amounts elightly in excess of
that necessary to makes the soil neutral
gave the
how
most economical
We found that a large excess of lime-
stone, on the basis of the first clover
crop, gave results which
amounts is done go at a loss,
eastern Pennsylvania lime could be!
most economically applied at an aver
age of one and one-half to two tons
per acre, and it should be finely
ground. The appearance of red top, |
sorrel and other such
are a pretty sure indication
soil is in need of lime,
A second experiment is now under
way to determine how finely limestone
should be ground to give the
profit for the money invested.
