CABBAGE IN DANGER
tntomoiogist Warns Growers
Against the Greedy Fly

AT the request OF several market
gardeners at Edna Mills. Entomologist
Washburn of the state experiment
station went to that village Friday to
investigate the finding of an alarming
number OF pupae OF the cabbage mag
got fly near the roots OF last year cab
bage plants. These pupae have passed
the winter in this stage and will. il
nothing is done to prevent, give rise to
hosts or flies when the new crop is
planted. Mr.. Washburn attributes the
presence OF the pest to the failure of
the market gardeners to disk and plow
the fields last fall.
1t was particularly noted during the
investigation that in fields that had
been disked and plowed deeply last
fall there were but few of the pupae
or the maggot fly, and 1t is suggested
by the entomologist that fields which
were not so treated in the fall should
be disked and deeply plowed as soon
as possible this spring. Mr.. WASH
burn gives the following advice to
vegetable growers:
Force early varieties in hot beds,
and have them attain a good size at
as early a date as possible, then plant
in rich SOIL It is the theory that plants
so treated will get ahead Of the flies,
or outgrow the injuries, or be too Wig
orous to be badly injured. 1t seems to
be question among a few of the gar
deners as to whether it pays to raise
but the earliest cabbages, which bring
the best prices. The general favorite
OF the early varieties appears to be the
Early Jersey Wakefield, or its close
ally, the Washington. The fiat varie-
ties were all badly affected last sum-
mer by the fly. OF the later cabbages
the Holland variety does the best, and
perhaps on account of its thick, strong
stalk, is not much troubled with the
fly. Very few pupae were found on
the Holland on Fridays trip.
There Is a difference of opinion
among some gardeners as to the adyis-
ability of raising caulifiower, which
particularly is attractive to the fly, but
it is argued that it pays to raise it. even
If considerable number are lost, the
remainder can be sold at a sufficiently
high price to make 1t profitable.
The cabbage maggot fly, looks
somewhat like a small house fly, can
travel ON the wing considerable dis
tances, and cooperation among the
neighboring farmers is imperative in
any effort against the fly. If one
grower takes the precautions suggested
above and his neighbor does not, the
work of the first goes for naught.
When setting cut young plants, fine
ly ground tobacco placed on the soil
dDoul the stem, Out not necessarily III
rectly in contact with 1t, repeating the
operation once or twice, will prove
some protection; or kerosene and sand,
one cupful of kerosene to a pailful of
sand; or ashes, If wood ashes are used
they should not be applied too gener-
ously;- or. SCOT or plaster used In the
same way as the ground tobacco.
These preventives should be. applied
Immediately upon planting, before the
eggs are laid, to be any use Each
gardener must decide for himself which,
If any Of the above. ere practicable in
his own individual case"

NEWS OF THE CITY
PIERS ARE CRACKED
Engineers Discuss Need of New
Bridge at Smelling

The piers supporting the Fort Shell
ing bridge are badly cracked in two
places and the iron work is so rusted
that the devices to care for the expan-
sion and contraction of the metal work
of the bridge are useless in their pres
ent condition.
Maj. George McC. Derby of the United
States engineer corps reported the
facts In the case about two months
ago, and while he said at the time that
the bridge was not unsafe under GER
tain limitations of travel he found the
vibration very noticeable.
The present structure is too small
to accommodate the natural travel at
the post and in the opinion Of numer-
Gus engineers 1t would cost more to
repair the bridge as it stands and
make it adequate in every respect than
1t would to build an entirely new one.
At the time the government and
Ramsey county built the present bridge
the wheel travel into Fort Smelling was
very much less than it is now, and as
the bridge has been standing twenty
four years natural deterioration has
made it less efficient then when it was
new. In addition the greatly increased
population of the surrounding country
and the post itself have tended to put
a greater strain upon the bridge each
year that has passed until now engi-
neers say that great addition to the
wheel traffic over the bridge might
make the structure unsafe.
Congressman +. c. Stevens in his
recent letter to the war department
said that it was necessary to either
repair and enlarge the bridge or build
an entirely new one. He pointed out
in his letter that the building of q
street car line into the post from both
the Twin Cities was only a matter OF
a short time and that the Minneapolis
street railway company had asked for
leave Of the department to enter the
post at once.
He suggested that a line from one
city to the other cutting through the
reservation was the most feasible plan
and pointed out that if the government
and Ramsey and Hennepin counties
should build new bridge it might be
arranged for the street car company to
use the structure and pay the gov
eminent for the right of way.
City Engineer l.. w. Rundlett said
yesterday that the bridge was not yet
unsafe and that If it was or should be-
come SO, 1t would be closed to travel.
No action is likely on the subject
opened up in Mr.. Stevens communica-
ton to the war department within a
week In the meantime 1t is expected
that the depar tment will hold up the
application of the street car company
to enter the reservation.
A new bridge capable of carrying
street car traffic would be a vast adj
vantage to the post and to both cities,
say all who were asked to express an
opinion.

CONGREGATION BREAKS
GROUND FOR CHURCH
Members of Unity Church Dedicate New
Site In Hill District

A ground breaking festival was held
yesterday afternoon at Portland avenue
and Grotto street, the site for the new
Unity church, a large number OF ladies
and children Of the congregation being
present. The ceremonies opened with the
singing Of a hymn, followed by the reci-
tation In concert Of the bond Of fellow
ship, the Lords prayer and confession
Of faith. The pastor Of the church. Rev.
X; w. ,Boynton, made a brief address in
which he referred to the many years the
congregation had worshiped at the old
church at Wabasha street and Summit
avenue. The change in the surroundings
at that place as well as the removal Of
most OF the members Of the church out
of the neighbUrhood made II imperative
to build the new edifice. The first sod
was turned at the new site by little
Mary Boynton. the daughter of the min
ister. being followed by Theodore Ames.
the year old son of Charles w. Ames,
chairman of the building committee.
The new church will be a handsome
structure Of yellow limestone and is to
cost $34. 900. The plans have been design
ed by I. G. Holyoke. The contractors
have promised to have the building ready
for occupancy by Nov. /. AS the new
church does not cover the plans as orig
inally intended, there will be several ad-
ditions to the structure in the course OF
time.
The old church at wabasha street and
Summit avenue was built in 1892 while
Rev. William G.. Gannett was pastor.
Work on the new edifice will be started on
Monday.

EARLY DAY SERMON
PRESENTED TO STATE
Pioneers of St. Paul Heard 1t
Night Before Christmas
-
In 1845

The original manuscript of the SER
mon preached in st. Paul on Christmas
eve, 1S45, by Rev. Ezekiel G. Gear has
been received by the Minnesota His
torical society and will be added to its
archives as one of its most valued st.
Paul relics, for it is, without doubt, the
first sermon ever preached in this city
by a Protestant clergyman.
81 The manuscript is gotten up in PAM
phlet form, written with a pen and in
ferlined with lead pencil, on heavy
unruled paper, which is now yellow
and stiffened with age. The penman-
ship is that of a scholar of the first
half of the century, quaint, yet beauti-
full. The sermon is distinctively a
Christmas eve sermon.
DR.. Gear, who was chaplain at Fort
Smelling at the time the sermon was
delivered in st. Paul, preached to the
text: The people which sat in dark
ness saw great light; and to them
which sat in the region and shadow of
death light is sprung up.":-Matt.
~, 16.
His thought throughout the sermon,
which runs forty-five minutes in the
ordinary reading, is one of the prac-
tical advantages of Christianity to the
children of the wilderness.
In the Little Log SchooIhouse
Librarian David S. Kingsbury of the
historical society has not yet succeeded
in deciding definitely as to the place
where the sermon was preached, but
ne inclines to the belief that it was
preached in the schoolhouse which
had. been erected the summer before.
The schoolhouse in question was built
of logs and was situated on the upper
levee.
Rev. E. G. Gear, the clergyman, was
born in Middletown, Conn, Sept. 10,
1898. He lived in the east until 1886,
when he went to Galena, ILL.,. to do
missionary work. The following year
he was appointed chaplain at Fort
Smelling and came to that post when
st. Paul was little more than the camp
of few fishers and traders. He min
fstered to the spiritual wants of the
soldiers and the citizens of st. Paul
until 1860, when he was transferred to
Fort Ripley. where he remained as
chaplain until he was retired from the
service in 1867. He died Oct. 10, 1873,
at the age of 80 years.
Like many of the early day minis
ters, the pioneer chaplain seems to
have practiced a repetition Of his SER
mons. The temptation was great to
work for years with fifty or sixty SER
mons, and the notes Of the dates upon
which that particular Christmas eve
sermon did duty are marked on the in
side of the manuscript cover in the
handwriting Of DR.. Gear. According to
these notations it was first delivered at
Fort Smelling on the evening of Christ
mas day, 1912. The second delivery
was In st. Paul Christmas eve, 1S45,
and there are notes indicating that
three more audiences of expectant pio-
neer children longingly watched the
wonderful pioneer Christmas tree while
the old chaplain fired the hearts Of
their elders with his words.
The manuscript fell into the hands
of Mrs. j. Stubs of Omaha, daughter
of Dr.. Gear, after his death, and it is
a present from her to the historical
society,"

For the purpose, IL possible, of pre-
venting log stealing, the lumbermen's
board of trade will ask for legislation
making it unlawful for anyone to re-
cord log marks who is not an actual
log owner. Messrs. Fred Tozer and
Anderson A. Ewart have been ap-
pointed a committee to draft bill to
be presented in a few days. For many
years 1t has been the practice here
and elsewhere for men to record log
marks who never cut stick of timber
in their lives and who never bought
any, but relied on logs that they could
pick up along the river. Some par
ties have even gone so far as to OBJ
literate old marks and remark logs
with their own marks. Loggers claim
that in this way they have lost consid-
cradle money.
