THE HOPKINS COUNTY ECHO
SPRAY NOW FOR
CEDAR SAG WORMS
P ' *'P.:
w 1 —
In six or eight weeks bag worms,
twill be hanging all over the cedars
and arbor vitae and destroying
them, according to information re-
ceived from R. R. Reppert, Exten-
sion Service Entomologist, who says
that now is the time to prevent the
damage rather than waiting until
the worm becomes so resistant and
making the destruction more diffi-
cult.
Close observation now on those
trees bearing last year’s bags will
disclose very small worms about a
quarter of an inch long, already en-
closed in small bags, which they drag
about with them as they devour the
foliage. From now until May 1 will
be the best time to apply control
measures; although such measures
may be applied with diminishing, ef-
fect on through the month of May.
The worms extend their body from
the bag when feeding and an ar-
senical spray will easily destroy
them, especially while they are small.
The spray should be applied with
force and with thoroughness, so as
to cover all the foliage.
Either lead arsenate or asenate of
lime should be used, in the* propor-
tion of two pounds of either in
fifty gallons of water. The pioison
tends to settle and hence the mix-
ture should be kept agitated while
application is being made.

Child Health Day, and this year it
emphasizes the importance of the
prevention of diphtheria.
Every day should be health day
'for every child and, so far as diph-
theria is concerned, this is made pos-
sible where the child is immunized.
The earlier this protection is given
the better, but at school age, there
were, in, a recent year, a thousand
deaths, from this disease, and it is
evident that until all preschool chil-
dren are protected much remains to
be done in. this field of health work
after children have entered school.
If health is “our first objective”
in education we should make the
most of our effective weapon for
deeding with this disease. Not only
should preventive inoculation of chil-
dren be urged upon parents, but the
parents of the future, now in our
schools, should be informed of the
possibility of doing away with this
| source of danger of life and health.
While emphasis may well be laid
on this subject, May Day offers an
occasion for a general self survey of
what we are doing and a new start
along all lines of school health
work.

ADEQUATE STORAGE
SPACE FOR 15 GTS.
For fifteen cents, Mrs. D. B. Kirk,
wardrobe demonstrator of Grubbs
Club, built an adequate storage
space for hanging garments, folded
garments, shoes, hats and out of sea-
son clothing. Pieces of scrap lumber
were used for the frame and covered
with heavy cardboard from tin can
cartons and syrup bucket cartons.
The closet is papered inside and out-
side. Mrs. Kirk itemized her cost as
follows: tacks 5c, nails 5c, flour for
paste, 5c. “A place for everything
and everything in its place” is as
convenient and proper a plan for
clothes in the home as for instru-
ments in a doctor’s office.

REPORTED.
On April 26, 1935, the death angel
visited the home of Mrs. W. T. Bar-
ber and calimed for its victim a dear
husband, father and grandfather.
He was 67 years, 5 months and 18
days old. He was born in Handyman
County,' Tenn., Nov. 7, 1868, and de-
parted this life at Cumby, Texas, on
April 25, 1935. He was sprinkled
when an infant into the Methodist
Church, at Mt. Pleasant, Mississip-
pi. At the age of 14 he professed
faith in Christ, not uniting with any
church after coming to Texas. He
was married to Miss Molly Roffe,
Nov. 14, 1894. To this union one son
was born, Gilbert Barber, of Cum
by. He is survived by his wife, son
and daughter-in-law, three grand1-
children, one great-grandchild and
also one brother and a sister, who
remains in Mississippi.
Mr. Barber had been the teacher
of a Bible class at Cross Roads for
the past two years. He was loved by
all who knew him and will be missed
greatly. He went to Sunday school
and church services and tried to do
his duty—that’s what we all have got
to do to meet Him in that land so
fair. Weep not, dear loved ones, for
he has gone to a home he has won—
a home that’s not prepared by
earthly hands, but one in a heavenly
land. He has done his duty here on
earth. How we will miss him from
the hearth, but we shall meet him
some sweet day if we only try, in
that sweet bye and bye.
Although it was hard to give him up,
And still, we know God knew best
And we should • trust in Him each
day,
For He will give us rest.

IN MEMORY OF
MARY PEARL WATSON
On Sunday evening, April 21,
1935, about 3:30 o’clock the news
came to me that Mary Pearl had
passed away to the great beyond. We
can’t understand why she had to
leave us so soon, as she was just in
the bloom of life. But God said that
her work on earth is ended, come up
higher, and He called her to be with
her loved ones in that home not
made with hands. Weep not, dear
ones, for Mary Pearl is at rest. She
is at home, with Jesus, the one who
loved her best.
Earth has lost a precious jewel,
God’s own hand was in it all;
In His wisdom it has pleased Him,
She was ready for His call.
That beautiful smile shealways wore
Was more precious than diamonds
or gold,
So may we all her life repeat,
And in the future we shall meet.
One who loved her,
VALLEY MAE ODOM.
