A drop of water, even three or four

one quart of water dropt slowly onto

much success in combating the insect

than the green bug. since it lays 5oo
eggs while the green bug lays only 5o.
A force of students are out in the fields
gathering the bees and sending them to
the university to be furnished to the
farmers who call for them. Awhile ago
the Texas farmers tried to get the Leg
islature to make an appropriation TO
keep the green bug parasite in Stock

the habits ot life of all pests. We surfer

rapidly and devastates fields. Then the
parasite having such an abundance OIL
them to feed upon increases more rap
idly and kills them off. Being deprived
of the food, the parasites die. and this
allows the green bug to multiply again
until the same round is made. The only
remedy is to keep supply of parasites
on hand ready to let loose whenever the
green bug begins its ravages.

YACHT SENECA
LAUNCHED TODAY

All the construction work OF the de-
fender OF the Canada cup was finished
Yesterday at Bristol and the craft, which
is named Seneca. was launched today.
It is some years since cup defender
was turned out at Bristol, and from COM
parsons between the swift-looking yacht
moved from the stocks yesterday and
those of four or five years ago, Nat Her
reshoff has, beyond dispute, made great
progress In building racers.
The Seneca is destined for the shores Of
Lake Ontario, and will be taken there
from Bristol the latter part OF the week
on board a freight car and tuned up for
defending the most important trophy on
fresh water this season, the Canada cup.
The moving OF the boat from the con-
struction shop to the lowgear was only
a matter OF n few minutes work every
thing being in readiness. according TO
Herreshoff methods and as the yacht was
hauled on TO the wagon and the forward
end OF the craft was clear OF the shop
the true Herreshoff type of racer was re-
vealed In a most striking manner. As she
rested on q small iron cradle with up
right supports her outlines cutting sharp
ly against the sky, she made an impress
sive picture. one that appealed strongly
to the racing instinct of the owner pres
ent
The new feature consists OF fine con-
cave on each side OF the stem and fore
foot, running from down near the point OF
the forefoot TO a position above the water
line The concave wrinkle Is noticeable
at the after end above the rudder top, but
there is less of II to be seen than at the
forward end
The overhangs are moderate In length
like all craft OF the wholesome type, and
ie n inChnS
In the matter OF ends. the forward one is
sharp and the stem curve one OF attrac-
tive model.
The finishings and fittings. both on deck
and below, are OF mahogany, and the
cleats and other hold-fasts on deck are of
brass and bronze. Seneca will be steered
with a tiller from wide, though not long
cockpit.
There is at first glance the appearance
OF a flush deck, but closer examination re-
veals the cabin trunk, low to the deck,
but fitted with the usual companion slide.
The crew of the Seneca will number
seven, all victorious racing men, including
Mabbett. the man who came TO the front
so prominently I'm the event OF two years
ago. when the Rochester Yacht club took
the Canada cup.
The Seneca is to be owned by Charles J.
and Winfield p. Pembroke OF Rochester.

club. in the coming contests. There are
three candidates for chalengers which
are being built in different places
to meet the Seneca. These include two
coming from Europe and another. the
Crusader. designed by Fife the noted
Scotch designer. which is being put to-
gether in Canada.
The dimensions OF the Seneca are as
follows: Length over all, 46 feet; water
line length, 80 feet breadth of beam 9
feet inches. and a draught OF feet. The
new sloop will have a sail area OF I5O
square feet and will be tried out in Bris-
tol harbor this week by Designer Herre-
shoff. After the spin II will be shipped TO
Charlotte. n. Y, suburb of Rochester.
by rail, for her tuning-up trips.
