Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-

beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear.
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied

ACTING GOVERNOR OF COLORADO

means OF cooperation, discussion and
organization, Acting Governor Harper
and Secretary James +. Callbreath, Jr.,
of the American Mining Congress, have
issued a call for general meeting of
mining men in Denver during Septem-
Der. Many important questions prompt
ed the action. among which not the
least is the matter OF securing for
Colorado and Denver the permanent
building, the great mining temple, of
the Mining Congress, which is now be-
Ing sought by Salt Lake City. Devel-
opnent of new and old mining dis
tricts, the elimination of fraud in ad-
veltising, above all an open exchange
of ideas on the betterment of the busi-
ness, and solid promotion of the re
sources of the state constitute a
few of the duties it is intended the
meeting shall consider.
Following is the call:
Official call for Colorado mining

CABBAGE Worms.

The following prescription is by c..
p. Gillette of the Colorado Agricultural
College:
Paris green, one rounding teaspoon
tul. Common flour, one quart.
Mix the two thoroughly together and
put in a small cheesecloth sack which
anyone can make in very few min
utes. Shake this sack over the cab
baGe plants, causing the paris green
and flour to sift through and fall upon
the cabbage leaves. This is best done
early in the morning or in the even
ing when there is little moisture upon
the leaves to cause. the powder to stick
where 1t falls. A very little busting
is all that is necessary, to distribute
enough of the poison to kill the worms
that feed upon the leaves. The poison
should not be used later than ten
days to two weeks before the time that
.he cabbages are to be gathered.
Unless used In unreasonable excess,
there will not be poison enough
deposited upon the edible part
Of the cabbage head to do
any harm. In fact, all these outer
leaves are removed before the cab
bages are cooked for food. it Is also
true that the leaves that form the outer
Part of the cabbage head one day will
spread and become loose outer leaves
few days later. So, if the poison is
not applied very near to the time
that the cabbages are to be gathered,
there will be no poison whatever upon
the edible parts. For best results the
first application should be made as
soon as the heads begin to form. Then
one or two applications later would be
all that is necessary.
In large fields it might be better to
use the paris green in the form of
spray of water. In which case a little
soap should be added so that the liquid
will spread over the leaves and not roll
off. II used as spray mix one pound
of the paris green in each one hundred
gallons of water. Arsenate of lead
may be used instead of the paris green,
in which five pounds of the poison
should be used for each one hundred
gallons Of water.
