Destroying the Cabbage
Worm

A number Of Pennsylvania cabbage
growers wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface
the State Zoologist, for instructions
in regard TO destroying the cabbage
worm, which has become quite a
serious pest Of the cabbage crop. For
the benefit Of all growers, State Zool-
ogist Surface has given out the fol-
lowing information:
"The cabbage worm is most easily
destroyed by the use Of an arsenical
application. Most of our successful
cabbage growers use swo pounds Of
arsenate Of lead in fifty gaIlona Of
water, or one pound of Paris green In
the same amount Of water. The ar
senate Of lead sticks better than the
Paris green, especially on cabbage
leaves, and is to be preferred The
liquid bearing the poison should be
blown well around the cabbage leaves
with good fine spray nozzle, apply
ing it as fine mist but not in drops.
IL sticks much better when put on in
fine mist than when poured on from
a spriDkling can or otherwise applied
In drops.
"If 1t be not convenient to apply
the poison as spray it can be mixed
with thirty times its bulk Of Paris
green or Rir-slaked lime, and applied
s dust. The best results from thia
will come making the application
IN the evening, or In the morning
while the dew is on. The use Of ar
senites in the dust or powdered form
Is recommended, especially on small
premises where the owner does not
have 9 spray pump.
"There is no need to fear poisoning
consumers by applying aFsenIcal pois-
ons to cabbage for the cabbage worms.
The heads form from the inside and
the constant tendency of the growth
ls to spread or open the poisoned
Ieives, and thus they are gradually
removed. Also few Of the outer
leaves are removed in preparing cab
bsge for the table, and thus what
ever poison may adhere to It Ii taken
away.
Il have never known'of q case Of
person being poisoned by the spraying
or busting of cabbage, and, indeed, Is
is estimated that 1t would take two
or three hundred heads to carry
enough poison to have any serious
effect on a person. The extensive
growers all over this state resort to
poison to keep the chewing pests in
check, and especially apply this for
the green cabbage worm. the same ss
for the potato beetle"

MIDDLEWEIGHT
MARINE IS HERE

There is new middleweight in town
that may turn out to be a good one.
This Is Harry Nelson of the recently
arrived marines. He is likely-look-
ing lad of about 80 pounds at his
present weight, and carries the best of
introductions to the Hawaiian Islands,
with the statement that he was the
pupil of DR.. Roller for some time.
His manager, H. D. Richards, also
OF the marine corps, wrote to Joe
Cohen asking for match, and yester-
day met the local impresario and ar
ranged to meet on Monday to talk over
the possibility of go.
Nelson has great confidence in him
self and wants to challenge the win
ner of the Sullivan-Peterson bout. His
manager speaks very strongly of the
lads ability and cieverness and is will
ing TO back him against either Suli-
van or Peterson.
While it is possible that he may
