beak has been inserted and the green
parts taken out AS the feeding con-
tinues these spots become more nu-
merous, and this pale yellow color
spreads over the entire surface; and
finally the leaf turns brown and drops
OF. This injury has been observed as
early as April or May, and thus the
vine from the very beginning of the
season is prevented from making its
normal growth. AS the hoppers in
crease in numbers the injury increases
with the advancement Of the season.
In midsummer quite large area about
the crown of the vine will show all
the leaves pale colored or completely
dried up, and, in severe cases, the en-
tire vine is thus affected. This drying
up and dropping OF of the leaves al.
lows the sun to have free access to
the fruit and may cause sunburn. We
have seen the fruit thus exposed and
badly sunburned as early as the mid
die of June The falling on Of the
leaves prematurely also prevents the
berry from maturing properly, since
it is in the leaves of the plant that the
sugar of the berry is manufactured.
The grape thus loses much of It's fla
vor and sweetness, and likewise the
characteristic coloring, which is SO de-
sirable in certain table varieties, is
not attained. The fruit, furthermore,
is badly smutted by the exudations Of
the insects, and this serves as a har-
boring place for the collection Of dust
and dirt, and for the growth Of fungi.
The dropping Of the leaves or any in
reference with their normal functions
likewise has its effect on the growth of
the wood of the vine. The canes fail
to ripen normally for the next years
wood, and many Of the buds fail to de-
velop in the following spring. The vine
may thus be more or less permanent.

yesterday by drinking a quantity OF
carbolic acid She was found in a
semi-conscious condition by her hus-

poison. He notified the University sub
station, the automobile patrol respond
ed and the woman was hurried in rec
ord-breaking time to the receiving hos
pital for treatment.
Mrs. Cummings face was badly
burned by the acid and she suffered
intense pain. After antidotes had been
administered she was taken to the
matron's department. Later her condi-
ton improved and the surgeons say
she has a fair chance for recovery.
The act was no doubt carefully
planned. on the table in the room
where she drank the acid was found
sealed letter addressed to her hus-
band. The superscription was writ

is in the possession of the police, who
are holding it pending results. If the
