- The past: On the night of June 4,
1829, 600 distinguished and well-known
- guests, each of whom had received an
invitation and paid 410, attended the
,' opening iSt the Central Park Casino,
"which had been taken.. over by the
, Dieppe corporation. That ' corporation
tad on Its governing board none other
" than 'Anthony -J. Drexel Blddle, Jr.,
William Kblnelander Stewart, Jr, and
. Adolph Zukor, James Walker, then
mayor, was .present' and' so many
nights thereafter that the Casino In
- no time at all became known as "Jimmy
Walker's night dab." ; Society flocked
"there and'the corporation prospered.
An Investigation' conducted some time
.after that, auspicious opening showed
that In four years It had collected
more than $3.000,000. ; tout as most
of 'that : sreat ' cross came from the
' pockets 'of the rich, there hadn't been
much complaint Still, there were
, 'A tnose who thought the city should get'
' more than $8,500 a year as Its share.
. .
The present: Among those who
' cherished that ttiougbt was Florello H.
LaGuardla, who was making a cam
.palgn for mayor. He charged that the
- Dieppe corporation was so greedy that
It even took a percentage of the wait
v e" Ops- Besides that, the play
- . ground of the public Central park was
no Jblace for a swankv eatlnsr nlace.
". LaGuardla was not elected that time.
H ran agaln-and was. His choice for
park commissioner was Robert H.
Moses who Jjeld ideas similar to those
of bis boss. So he promptly ordered
' ' v the Casino to close up. The matter
v got Into the courts, the corporation
holding that as the contract didn't ex
' ' plre until .1039, It Intended to stay.
" - It lost the first decision. Now It has
' lost an appeal and the Casino, the
.'.- scene of so many brilliant affairs, is
to be torn down to make a playground
for youngsters.
.
'" .No compromise: . The principal com-
,,u " plaint against the Casino concerned
.prices charged for food. As a sort
' - of concession, Sidney Solomon, suave
,'v manager, offered price reductions. The
cup of eoffee that bad once cost 60
cents 'was reduced to 40 cents and the
$4 table d'hote dinner to $3.. But Com
missioner Moses couldn't see any bar
gain for the people at those rates and
kept up his fight
Age In a hurry: At the Pennsyl
vania terminal, your correspondent

snapplly dressed woman who looked
to be well past seventy despite the
work of an efficient beauty specialist
and two equally snapplly dressed
young women, who were apparently
her granddaughters. At any rate, the
older woman was all put out because

Control Fly Breeding
"" One' female fly in 'the ' spring, 'al
lowed to live and breed, may leave
millions of descendants by fall.
' Don't give them a chance to breed,
cautions John A. Arey, extension
dairy specialist at State College.
Start control measures as soon as
possible. , '
Flies .are not only carriers of filth
and disease, but th;y are a constant
source of annoyance to cattle and
livestock. Cows will not give as
much milk if continually harassed
by flies. '
The. first step in getting rid of this
nuisance is to eliminate breeding
places, Arey continued. Manure from
stables should be removed daily, if
possible. .
' When practical, it is" best to haul
the manure direct to the fields where
it can be spread over the land. Where
this is impractical, at least try not
to leave large piles of .manure lying
around for many days at a time.
Clean up the premises of the
house and barnyard, he continued.
Any filth left exposed will serve as a
breeding place for flies.
With the best of care, however, it
will be impossible to destroy all flies
in the larvae stage. Therefore, it, is
advisable to use traps, poisons and
sprays in fighting this pest.
A good poison can be made by
mixing three quarts of skim milk
with one-fourth quart of formalde
hyde and one-fourth quart of molass
es. Place the mixture in shallow
containers where the flies are, but
where animals and poultry cannot
get at it.
A good spray is very effective,
Arey stated. A number are now on
the market. Follow the directions
given, he said, and good results will
be obtained.
Good fly traps can be purchased or
made at home. Farmers' Bulletin
No. 734, U. S. Department of Agri
culture, Washington, contains direc
tions for making traps at home.
Specialists To Give
Hot Weather Advice
Hot weather brings many problems
for the farmer, so State College
specialists are endeavoring on the
Carolina Farm Features radio pro
gram to give much timely summer
advice to the farmer.
For instance, the poultryman is
concerned with the problem of sum
mer egg production. Balanced feeds
and proper feeding methods are
necessary during the summer if a
flock is to be kept in the best possi
ble condition and return the highest
profits to the owner. Also important,
SOU
COW ow
JERSEY COWS are common enough but Simply Sybil's Pallas it a
breeder's dream come true. Near perfect In every respect won
derful body, level top carrying out well both ways, deep veins,
marvelous udder in texture and attachment fully worthy of her
proud title, National Champion. She is the Cow of Cows,
This magnificent Jersey Champion is Nature at her peak a
creature gifted with the vital spark that only Nature can supply, a
natural balance of all the elements required in the making of a
champion. This natural balance of vital elements is the principal
difference between Simply Sybil's Pallas and a common cow the
difference between the best and the rest in almost everything.
And here's another example of the natural balance that makes
true quality Natural Chilean Nitrate. Into this nitrate nitrogen,
Nature blended her own secret balance of vital impurities, many
minor elements over and above its nitrogen. And Nature herself,
aged, cured and mellowed this product through countless centuries
in the ground. That is why Natural Chilean stands out a quality
fertilizer by every test, In the scientist's laboratory or the practical
test In the farmer's fields. It Is the safe, sure, balanced food for
your crops.
Natural Chilean contains almost two score of major
and minor elements such as boroni magnesium man-
ganesej iodinei calciums potassiums etc each a vital
element In growth and healthy development of plant

Another important ' problem which
confronts the farmer during - hot
weather is the control of. insect
pests and plant diseases.- Specialists
are recommending approved practices
which will aid, ' greatly, s in lessening
this danger. . .-
Like her husband, ' the farm wife
has her problems, The "danger .of
unbalanced diets during the summer
months is reduced i beeause of the
abundance of -vegetables, fruits and
-berries' which may be served the fam
uy each day. .However, the wife
must look ahead and , plan for the
winter when foods - wjll not be so
plentiful. This means -.that the rural
home-maker will have to can and
preserve enough of the summer
foods to add variety' to the family's
diet during tha void months.
