DAMASCUS HIGH SCHOOL NOTJ3S
Tho High school will open again
on Tuesday morning, January 3. In
stead of Monday, as previously an
nounced, ,
Twenty-six visitors were present
on Pntron's Day nt tho High school
on Friday afternoon, Dec. 23. The
teachers appreciate tho Interest that
was shown. An exhibition of dif
ferent kinds of work done by the
students consisting of maps, draw
ings, note books, geometrical figures
and apparatus was open all of tho
afternoon.
Tho program began at two o'clock
and was made up of the following
numbers:
1. Song by the school.
2. Recitation, Miss Miriam Mlnch.
3. Some Historic Xmas Days in
Amorica, Miss Faye Abraham.
4. Recitation, Walter Rubins.
5. Xmas In Other Lands, Miss

10. An Original Xmas Story, Miss
Grace Rellly.
11. A Letter From Santa Claus,
Ireno Mosher.
12. Freshman Sophomore de
bate. 13. Song by the school. I
Numbers three, Ave, eight and
ten were original essays handed in
by the pupils in the English depart
ment. Miss Rellly handed in the
best essay in the freshman class,
Miss Yerkes in tho Sophomore class,
Miss Reynolds In the Junior class
and Miss Abraham in the fourth
year English class.
The question for the lnter-class
debate was, Resolved that Marathon
was a greater battle than Salamis.
The freshmen were represented by
Eva Skilhorn, Ezra Maudsley and
Mary Abraham. The Sophomore
team included Helene Yerkes, Mary
Loy and Arthur Brigham. Each
class looked forward to the result
with Intense interest and supported
its team loyally. The speakers were
allowed five minutes for the first
speech and one member of each
team was allowed unlimited time for
rebuttal.
Eva Skilhorn opened the debate
for the affirmative by stating the
question dnd supporting fher -sid,e
with several clearly pro'vert priThts:
Her remarks', were interesting, woll
chosen and the delivery was excel
lent. Helene Yerkes then spoke for
the negative. Her points were woll
handled and she showed a broad
knowledge of the subject. Ezra
Maudsley continued the debate for j
the affirmative and added further
proof to convince the people that
his sldo was in the right. Ordinarily
debaters do not make each point
stand out clean cut enough before,
the audience and the judges. These
1
!
amateurs succeeded in doing that al
though they had never debated be
fore In public. After Mary Loy had
spoken well for the negative, Mary
Abraham spoke last for the fresh
men. Her speech was marked bv
clearness, accuracy aud the convinc
ing way in which it was delivered.
Arthur Brigham kept up with the
pace that those before him had set
and finished strpng for his side.
1 he rebuttal offered some amuse
ment for the listeners. Miss Skilhorn
was quick-witted, earnest and insist
ent. 'Miss Yerkes chose another
method and her remarks wore char
acterized by good-natured sarcasm
and irony, they counted much for
her side when it came time to make
the decision. The judges were Rev.
R. D. Mlnch, Dr. B. L. Tyler and Mr.
Wlnfleld Fromer. It took some time
for them to reach a decision; mean
while tho school sang a song. The
sides were so evenly matched that
no one could make a decision off
hand. Mr. Mlnch complimented the
young speakers on their broad
knowledge of history and on tho abil
ity they showed In handling tho sub
ject. The affirmative side was award
ed the debate by a unanimous vote
of tho Judges.
A book has been offered as a prize
by the principal to the student who
writes tho best school song, sets It
to some familiar tune and hands it
In before January 21.

Ground Mlco in Orchards.
From a prominent fruit grower In
Franklin county comes tho request
for Information of the best method
of getting rid of mico in tho or
chard. These mice aro very destruc
tive to young trees in some sections
of tho State, and Prof. H. A. Sur
face, of tho Division of Zoology,
prescribed tho following treatment:
"Replying to your letter of the
3rd, asking for a romedy to get rid
of tho ground mice In your orchard,
I bed to say that tho best thing pos
sible is to put the orchard into clean
cultivation, nnd got rid of tho grass.
At this tlmo of year if tho ground
Is not frozen, it would be a good
plan to work around tho trees with
a hoo and Iron rake, raking tho
grass away from them for a dis
tance of jx fow feet. If you do not
wish to go to this troublo, ono easy
moans offprotccting them is to put
a piece of wire around something
like a broom handle, so that It will
make a tube, and can bo slipped
around tho troes, standing nt its
baso liko a collar. This will give
protection from mlco and rabbits.
Also, you can 3afcly paint your
apple, pear and tiulnco with pure
white lead and raw linseed oil. This
will give protection from mice, rab
blts and borors. Tho peach trees
can bo painted or sprayed at the
base with strong llmc-sulphur solu
tion, either homo-boiled or commer
cial, prepared as for San Jobc scale.
If It has somo Bcdlmcnt or freo sul
phur added, It will be Improved for
this purpose.
You can kill tho mlco by strych
nine poisoning. I would suggest
that you write to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. C, for their recent Bulletin on
tho "Methods of Getting Rid of Rats
nnd Mice." It Is also desirable for
you to havo ono or two terriers or
beagles trained to hunt mice. Tho
ynly objection to this in the or
chnrd Is, tho dangor of Injury to the
roots ot trees by thorn In digging
after mice that may havo burrowed
under the trees. This must bo
watched.
If you havo deep snow, It Is ad
visable to tramp tho snow around
tho trees, as this prevents tho mice
from feeding on tho trunks. They
do not come above the snow to
feed. Of courso, If tho wire collars
aro placed around the trees, tho
stamping Is not necessary. Rub
bish, strnw, grass or anything of tho
kind near the trees, attracts them
and furnishes protection. This Is
the chief reason why such material
should not be close to the trunks
of tho trees during winter."
Han .Jose Scale Injury Fakes.
The following letter to a practic
ing physician in a neighboring coun
ty, who is also a fruit grower, was
written by Prof. H. A. Surface, state
Zoologist of the Department of Ag
riculture, Harrisburg, Pa., upon tho
request for Information as to wheth
er a much advertised and exploited
nostrum put into the trunk of the
tree in a gimlet hole would rid the
tree of scale. The following letter
is Instructive because It describes the
manner In which the scale Injures
the tree, and explodes the theory
that this pest can bo controlled by
the above method:
"I am interested in your letter of
the 2Cth, and can assure you that
the San Jose scale Injures a tree by
exactly the same process as a mos
quito injures us; it injects a pois
onous saliva Into a tree and sucks
out the modified sap. Both pro
cesses are Injurious, but the injec
tion of the poison Is the worse of
the two evils. The tree will not
take Into its sap any material In
jected Into the trunk through a
hole. The sulphur treatment con
sists of putting sulphur Into an
augur hole In the tree, and has no
effect whatever upon the tree. I
have tried It, and have seen the sul
phur remain entirely unmodified for
as long as two years at a time.
Some orchards may escape the
ravages of the San Joso scale for
sometime, but they are practically
sure to be destroyed by this pest
later if nothing be done to save
them. At tho present time the uni
versal recommendation of all grow
ers and entomologists is, to spray
annually, and nearly all will agree,
that the best material is the boiled
lime-sulphur wash.
I would urgently recommend that
you try tho sulphur treatment In
some infested trees, and assure your
self of its efficacy or otherwise, be
fore you make a published state
ment concerning it. I find it very
important to be careful what is put
before the public, for the reason
that so many persons will accept It
as established, and may depend up
on it, and in so doing will defer the
use of remedies which we know will
bring reliable and desired results.
By delaying a year or two to
learn whether the new remedy will
prove satisfactory, they are liable
to lose their trees. It is possible
that the San Jose scale has not been
introduced to the orchard which you
mention. The proper treatment will
consist of placing sulphur in a hole
In a tree which we know is infest
ed, and watch it for a year or more.
I have done this with unsatisfac
tory results."
The Kind of Sulphur Needed For
.Making Spray Solution.
At this time of year many in
quries aro made of State Zoologist
H. A. Surface, concerning tho kind
of material that should be used to
mako the lime-sulphur solution,
which tho progressive fruit growers
of Pennsylvania have found to be
tho most efficient and satisfactory
material in destroying tho San Jose
scale, which was once so Injurious In
their orchards. An inquiry was also
mado concerning potash fertilizers.
Doctor Surface gives tho following
reply:
"The Flowers of sulfur are the
most finely divided precipitate, and
this form sells at tho highest price.
The Flour of sulphur Is finely
ground sulphur, also chemically
pure, but not quite so high In price
as tho precipitated 'Flowors.' Tho
commercial sulphur flour is finely
ground brimstone, just as It is quar
ried from tho craters or volcanoes
where sulphur occurs. It contains
somo ash and Impurity, but It is
cheapest, and, thoreforo, is tho most
deslrablo form of sulphur for mak
ing tho lime-sulphur wash, as It
serves the purpose Just as woll as
the most expensive forms.
"Muriate of potash and sulphate
of potash aro tho two more expen
sive forms of potash fertilizer. The
least oxponslvo form being Kainit,
which Is a very low grade ot potash.
Tho sulphate sells at a fow dollars
moro per ton than tho murlato, and
it also contains a llttlo moro pot
ash, and somo persons think that It
is moro available for plants. It is
generally agreed that tho murlnte
whon uspd for potatoes mnkes them
tough, while tho surphato makes
them tender or mealy. They are
chemically different materials, each
of which contains potash to form
ono ot tho ossentlal fertilizing ele
ments of plants, and both aro valu
able as fertilizers. The difference
Is not In purity, but iu chemical com
position." No Poisonous Cabbage Snake.
State Zoologist Surface shows loss
from bellof In poisonous reptile.
A cabbago grower in Eastern
Pennsylvania sent to Stato Zoologist
II. A. Surface, of Harrisburg, a line
white thread worm, which had been
found in a cabbage bed, and which
he bad been told was dondly poison, j
Ho desired accurato Information i
concerning this nnd tho Professor,
replied as follows; j
"I found tho package to contain a j
specimen of small Thread Worm,
which is commonly known as tho
Cabbago hair worm, and Incorrectly
called "Tho Cabbago Snake." The
scientific nnmo of this little hair
worm Is Mermls albicans. It is not
larger than a fine thrend of corn
silk, and Is even more delicate.
"I hasten to say that reports as to
Its poisonous nature aro entirely un
trtto and unfounded. In fact, thoy
have caused a great deal of needless
fear, and oven direct loss. This loss
has come from tho hesitation and
refusal of persons to use cabbage
for food after thoy havo been In
formed that It is llablo to bo In
fested with a deadly, poisonous pest.
"Tno united States Department of
Agriculture has published an Inter
esting Bulletin as their Circular No.
02 on this subject, in which they
state tliut Doctor Lewis LeRoy, of
Nashville, Tennessee, purposely ate
one of these little worms with the
cabbago In which It had occurred,
and, of course, suffered no ill effects,
and at tho same time demonstrated
that It was In no manner poisonous.
They also fed the worms and cab-
bag, In various stages of develop
ment, to different animals, and never
at any time found any effects of
poison. They also made extracts
from the hair worms, and Injected
them Into animals, and were not
able to poison them by this method.
As a result the correct conclusion
was reached 'that the cabbage snake
Is entirely harmless, and tho public
minors and superstitions are falla
cies without semblance of founda
tion. "The only truth in the entire the
ory of the poisonous properties of
this little Thread worm is in the
fact that there Is such a creature
In existence. I would not hesitate
to eat one to demonstrate its harm
less qualities, although one does not
naturally crave nor relish such diet,
yet It is not more objectionable than
any other article of food, like the
contents of green peas, raw oysters,
etc.
"Tho belief that there Is a poison
ous cabbage head snake that lives
in cabbage, has, unfortunately, be
come so wide spread that it has seri
ously affected the sale of cabbage
by reducing the demand for It for
human consumption. Since there Is
no foundation for this belief, it is
to be regretted that it has had such
result. I trust that you will do what
is possible to induce the newspapers
to correct the mistake they have
made by publishing statements con
cerning its supposedly poisonous na
ture. These statements have made
interesting reading, although entire
ly without truth. It will now be
likewise interesting for intelligent
editors to help develop our agricul
tural possibilities, by stating that
there is no danger whatever of any
kind of poisoning or disease coming
from eating cabbago whether raw,
cooked, made Into kraut, or other
wise." Adam and Eve.
"I hope this expulsion of ours is not
going to injure our social position,"
said Eve ruefully.
"I guess not," replied Adam. "They
can't stop us from being ono of the
very llrst families, whatever thoy do."
"I don't find our names hero in tho
'Social Register,' " said Eve, looking
the volume over.
"Look under 'Dilatory Domiciles,' my
love," said Adam as he went out and
named the jackass after himself.
