Now that the State convention of the American Legion held In Easton this past week is past, the legion¬ naires that attended have many in¬ teresting tales to unfold to their comrades that did not attend. In fact the convention was one of the best yet held by this great organiza¬ tion. Everything went off without a hitch, the conductance of this mam¬ moth celebration was wonderful and the police protection could In no way be Improved. The management as n whole was perfect and at the same time reflect.s great credit on the Legion boys and the Police De¬ partment of the City of Easton. Everywhere praise was sung. Wel¬ come was on every door mat and ths treatment extended the visitors will long linger In their minds. Pitts¬ burgh Is the site for th? 1932 State convention of the American Legion.
An incident which was greatly ap¬ preciated by thc memliers of the American Legion at the sessions in Easton was the .-iction of the ladles' auxiliary in presenting the Altoona post with a check for $150 toward the purchase of new «|Uipment for its drum and bugle corps which was de- .stro.'.ed on Wednesday when the truck  conveying  the uniturms and
instrument.s to Easton caught fire at a fllling station near HarrLsburg, and was destroyed. The formal present¬ ation was made before the entire convention by the department pre¬ sident of the auxiliary, Mrs. Thomas Meany. Jr.. of Philadelphia. She was gi\ en a wonderful ovation when Commander Engard announced that she had been re-elected president of the auxiliary for anothr year.
Other officers elected were: First vice president, central .section, Mrs. E. R. Beadle, Shamokin; second vice president, western district, Mrs. W. J. Lloyd, Unlontown: third vice pre¬ sident, eastern district, Mrs. Barton Oplinger, Allentown; secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Charles W. Dressier, Swissvale, ' Pittsburgh i; recording secretary, Mrs. Arthur L. Kresge, Forty Fort; historian, Mrs. Matthew C. Wat.son, Indiana: chaplin. Mrs. Howell Richards, Wilklnsburg,
A prominent visitor to Easton for the convention was Gilbert Herman, of Bristol. Mr. Herman was a form¬ er resident of town. He also called on friends here during the week.

Ju.st how large tho asparagus crop will be next year depends largely on thc growth of tops this .year. County Agent B. L. Coleman points out.
As long as the stems and branch¬ es continue to grow, they manu¬ facture sugar and protein to ly? stored in the roots, he .says. Those energy-producing jaibstances will be used in making shoots next spring. The larger the tops grow, the great¬ er is the capacity to manufacture and store these energy-forming sub¬ stances.
Frequent cultivation to control weeds and applications of readily available nitrogen, whenever neces¬ sary, will give maximum growth of tops. The need for applications can bo determined by the rate of growth and the color of thc tops. Slow growth and a light green color indi¬ cate a need for more nitrogen fer- tlU>:cr, except In an unusually drv period. One or two applications about six weeks apart, usuallv will be .sufficient. The amount mav be 250 to 300 pounds ;m acre of nitrate of .soda or its equivalent. Chicken nianure may be u.sed.
Although egg size primarily is a breeding problem, it can be improv¬ ed to some extent by properly mat¬ uring the pullets before they lay their flrst eggs, says County Agent B. L. Coleman.
From the best Information that can be obtained, it is evident that large eggs are laid by birds of med¬ ium to large size. Once a pullet starts to comb up. very little If any¬ thing can be done to retard pro¬ duction.
Pullets should be fed a ration which promotes normal develop¬ ment. Grain alone will not supply all elements necessary to prepare pullets for a long siege of production. Some protein and minerals as con¬ tained in the mash are essential. The percentage of protein in the mash can bc reduced somewhat or the amount of grain increased to the point where thc birds are con¬ suming less mash than grain. When the pullets are 12 weeks of age. it is a common practice to place both mash and grain in hoppers before thc birds.

Warning Isuued on Disposal of Residue From Farm Sprayers
Farmers who use poisonous sprays to protect crops against destructive insects and diseases, are cautioned by the bureau of plant industry, Pennsylvania Department of Agri¬ culture, against mixing the materials or dumping the residue from the sprayer in such manner that nearby streams or ponds l>ecome contam¬ inated with the poison.
"There is danger that such an oversight might not only endanger flsh and other aquatic Itfe, but also human life and livestock," the bur¬ eau warns.
Six complaints of flsh poisoning have been received during recent weeks, it is said. Investigations have shown the possibility that discarded spray material and residue from mixing operations may have caused the trouble,

A rucce.ssful campaign against the European corn borer Is being waged in northwestern Penn.sylvania.
In 1927 an area comprising all or parts of eight counties was placed undor regulations requiring the plowing under or burning up, dur¬ ing the winter or early spring mouths, of all corn remnants.
The results of this work has pro¬ ven so successful, that a reduction in the area placed under clean-up regulations has been possible each year. This season only Erie County and three townships in Warren County were included.
A careful check-up last fall show¬ ed lighter boier infestation than was found in tho same area in 1925—the flrst yoar for which records are available.
"We feel that this enforced clean¬ up has been an outstanding demon¬ stration on the effectiveness of good farm practices as a control of Euro- IKan corn borer,' state R. H. Bell,
director. Bureau of Plant Industry, Penn.sylvania Department of Agri¬ culture.
There has been a flne spirit of co¬ operation on the part of most farm¬ ers in this work, offlcials report. Dur¬ ing the 1927 season it was necessary for the State to do actual clean-up work on approximately 400 farms. This year there are only 12 cases with a total of 37 acres, according to the latest statement from P. G Brown, administrator in charge of the work in the fleld.
Mr. Brown reporte that the SUte inspectors visited 6,863 farms during the period from May 1 to June 6. and of this number 4558 were pass¬ ed on the flast inspection. A toUl of 21.330 acres of com ground were voluntarily cleaned hy the farmers tJiemselves to meet the regulations.
This effort Is characterized by Secretary of Agriculture John A. McSparran as a "splendid piece of work showing flne cooperation on thc part of the people."
Also the Caae Itaetor beoght for road work at a price of $110040 waa returned making a total nduetlan In thc old debt of $7,803 JO.
The above flgures show what eaa l>e done by the application of eom-' mon sense methods and the tax pa]r« er should be made to reallas that such a practice continued mtrnnt a reduction In taxes of the towaabtp of at least two mills.
The Citizens Committee of Buah¬ klll Township endones the praaent Board of Supervisors and hopia* that the voters consider the facts when casting their votes this condng clee- tion.
