For best results the following points are stressed by the experiment station. Only good grade copper carbonate should be used. Some inferior brands are on the market, having low copper content. It is bast to buy of reliable dealer* who guarantee at least 85 to 90 per cent purity—47 to 50 per cent metallic copper. If tfi^ dust is a* fine as it should be and is put on rightly two ounces per bushel is enough. Every kernel must be covered, even the brush and the crease filled.-The dust is applied with a mixipg machine such as described in c: tension bulletin 381. The grain must be well cleaned and free from smut balls, dust and trash. Putting it through a fanning mill Is recommended. If very smut ty it is not fit for seed. The treating chamber should nut be too full to permit wide movement of the grain as the machine is rotat ed. At the rate of 20 to 30 revolu tions a minute each lot should be treated for at least two minutes. In seeding the dusted grain the rate is cut down because the grain does not swell as in liquid treatment and neither is the germination in- juied. At least one peck less than the rate for liquid treated grain is rec cm mended by the experiment sta tion and by growers who have tried it. The exact amount per acre is best determined by tests made by the grower. Every Person Helps to Pay Income Taxes BRIEF LOCAL NEWS. Paragraphs on County and Community Events L. R.

Picture Show News For The Current Week Frank Hagney, who plays the role of the villian in “The Dangerous Coward,” the attraction starring Fred Thompson, at Moro theatre, is es pecially well fitted for the part as he is a chr.mpion boxer. Hagney was for ti rce years lightheavy weight champion of Australia, has fought in nearly every country in the world including South America, where two years ago he met and defeated the row famous Firpo, being the first nan to evei knock out the South American. Hagney also held the single scul- ling championship of Australia and because of his athletic ability is es pecially fitted to play opposite Fred Thompson, world’s premier athlete. “The Dangerous Coward” is re plete with stirring action. The fight between Thompson and Hagney is •laid to be the grf*atest of its kind ever filmed. Hazel Keenor, winner of many beauty contests, plays the leading feminine role. “Oh, Doctor!” with Reginald Den ny as star is coming to Moro theatre Saturday. Most persons remember with pleasure the serial of the same name by Harry Leon Wilson, pub lished in The Saturday Evening Post, and in consequence are looking for ward to seeing the screen version of what has been called one of the most delightful, whimsical stories pubhsh- ed in recent years. Denny has made for himself a wide fame as an exponent of the more subtle kind of humor, as well is for his daring in thrilling scenes, and in the latter part of “Oh, Doc- .or!” he is given ample opportunity ¿o display his ability in the latter, while the entire story affords op portunity for humorous character- ization. The original story was acclaimed, not alone for its delightful humor of conception, but for its satirical ‘kidding” of a quite prevalent men- tai quirt, known as hypochondria. It is as a hypochondriac that Denqy is first introduced and, as an incu bator baby, he grows to manhood almost .literally wrapped in cotton batting.
