This year's Senior Play, Phillip Barry's "The Youngest," will be pre¬ sented next Priday evening, June 3rd, at 8 o'clock hi the High School auditorium, under the direction of Miss Sloat.
The action of the play takes place at the WInslow home in a small I New   York State   City during   th% summer of the present time.
Richard, the youngest son, a much picked-on chap and a would-be writer, greatly resents the efforts of his family In trying to have him conform to their standards.
Under the tutelage of his sister's guest, Nancy Blake—a veritable busy-body, Richard is brought to open revolt. Nancy discovers that, t>ecause Richard was bom after his father's will was made, according to the New York State statute, he In¬ herits Just as though he had been tn existence at the time the wlU waa made; consequently, by compound¬ ing Interest, Richard really has due him enough money to buy the home and factory. Nancy, by kindness and persuasion, makes Richard as¬ sert himself; at the same time she maneuvers the older brothers, Oliver and Mark, so that they conflscate Richard's precious manuscripts and stop his alloa'ance. Plnally, In des¬ peration, Richard asserts himself and turns upon his oppressors in splendid style.
Not only is there sparkling wit, but a satisfactory concluaion to ttito unusual domestic situation—and the Youngest comea out on top.

WInslow, Charles Freeman; Mark Winslow. Walter Peters; Augusta Winslow Martin, Margaret Seyfried; Alan Marttn, Abram Veakel; Martha Winslow, Dorothy Rubright, Richard Winslow, Alt>ert Knauss, Nancy Blake, Esther Milhouse, and Katie, Eva Reimer.

Parmer? In all 'rections of North¬ ampton County are reporting a heavy infestation of aphi? In their alfalfa fields, according ta County Agent B, L. Golem in. A wilted con¬ dition of ths terminals r ftrst noted. The plants gradually tum yeil0>«r and if the Infestation continues, will die.
Mr. Coleman st,OLtes that control rather for the' Pleasures, using some form of nico¬ tine, are not pra."tical as tlve cost for material, equipment and labor, \^-ill exceed the valu? of the crop.
The main hope for relief lies In the fact that the aphis are being parasitized by another Insect and a large number are also being killed by a fungus dLs?ase. The reduction In numbers from these sources dur¬ ing the lost few dajs seems to be rapidly approa!<hing the natural multiplication of the Insect and it ia hoped that the outbreak will be controlled In this way.
Parmers are warned to keep a close watch op their fields during the next aeveral days and, where fields begin to show a yellow con¬ dition throughout, tttey are adviaad to cut the alfalfa at once. Alfalte cut at thts season wtll be difflcult to dry and must be well tedded, ao aa to shake off as many aa possible of the aphis and to secure thorough drying. In this way tlw second crop may be protected. Wliere plamte tttt killed by the aphis attack, tbe aaeoai crap will be seriously effected.
