THE GLACE GLOVE

"Do we wear" asks an importunate
one, "the smooth white glove with
wrinkled wrist with our tailored suit?'
We do not if we are even halfway eco
romical We reserve this. the best type
that we have, for the afternoon gown.
We wear 1t for calling. for bridge, for
the o'clock tea. and it is the natural
inclination to place it on par with Inc
broadcloth or the velvet costume.
We naturally reserve the richest ac-
cessories for evening wear. and we know
OF nothing better in the glove line than
the white glove in glace or suede.
Does the evening gown demand. al

Not By any means! Just off the white"
is a meeiingful phrase to the expert
glove salesman. He will show you, IL
you are wise enough to carry sample

gloves that are the palest straw color
to wear with the deep, old-gold crepe

THE GRAPE BERRY MOTH.
How its Ravasss Among the Vine,
May Be Prevented.

How lie Ravases Among the Vines
May Be Prevented.
The cause of wormy grapes Is the
larvae of the grape berry moth. Small
purplish brown moths appear in grape
vineyards In May and June and lay
their tiny eggs. probably on the stems
Of the blossom clusters. Here they
hatch. and the young caterpillars i'm
mediately begin eating the blossom
buds even before the latter open. They
spin q delicate web among the buds.
and IS the larvae feed throughout June
they soon attack the recently set ber-
ries. AS a result, many buds and
young berries are destroyed, a flower
cluster often suffering severely. Really
more injury is done by the caterpillars
of this brood than by those Of the Sec
ond one, yet one rarely notices the
work Of these June larvae. They can
be reached at this time very effectively
with a poison solution. By July, when
the caterpillars have become full
grown, they crawl to the leaves, cut a
peculiar flap from the leaf, pull it over
and tie it down with silken threads.
They then line the inside of this with
silk. thus forming a cocoon, in which
the larvae transform to pupae. In
about two weeks the second brood Of
moths begins to come forth from these
cocoons and in a few days begin to lay

their shining eggs on the grape berries
and on the stems. When these eggs
hatch the emerging caterpillars gnaw
their way through the skin OF the
berry and burrow inside of the grape:
1t is these caterpillars that are best
known and that cause the "wormy"
grapes. Note that they cannot be
reached with a poison at this time.
The most noticeable and destructive
work is done by this brood Of cater
pillars working in the grapes in July
and August. The berries often become
infected by fungi as a result of the In
juries caused by the insect, and decay
soon sets in. Where this pest is abun-
dant the injury is often quite extern
sive. When these caterpillars reach
full size they make cocoons- on the
leaves exactly like those of the first
brood, and many Of the later ones
pass the winter as pupae in their CO.
coons attached to the fallen leaves ~
ing on the ground. There may be a
partial third brood of caterpillars that
work in the berries through Septem-
Der. A study Of its life history shows
that the grape berry moth Is best con-
trolled by spraying with arsenate OF

Care Of strawberry PIants.

It is very often the case that plants
are received several days before the
ground is ready for setting. Since the
plants come tied in bundles and packed
in damp moss it is very necessary that
they be opened and spread out to
prevent molding. The only safe and
economical way is to heel them in.
Select a we'll drained piece Of land. re-
move the trash. If any. and spade up
deeply. Level off the soil and cut a
trench deep enough to admit the roots
without doubling up. One side Of the
trench should be nearly perpendicular.
Lay the plants IN the perpendicular
side Of the trench so that all OF the
root system comes below the surface.
but not so deep that the crowns may
be covered. In the latter instance the
crowns will rot If allowed to remain in
the ground for any length Of time.
Spread out the roots and place the
plants so that they barely touch. Fill
up the trench with fine soil and pack
down firmly with the foot. Be sure
there are no air spaces left among the
roots. Be sure that the roots do not
extend above the ground. If there is
any danger Of cold damaging the
plants cover over with a light coating
Of straw. Do lot put it on very deep.

We,. Point and China.

1t, is u far cry from the Military
academy at West Point to the head
quarters of the Chinese military forces.
but in the surprise Of the Chinese
prince ut what he saw there on a re-
cent visit. lies a thought applicable to
our own land and times. Prince Tsai
Tao was deeply impressed. A repub-
lie devoted to peace maintains a splen-
sid college to teach the arts Of war.
China has no such school and depends
upon foreign trained officers to bring
her military up to date. We are no
more a military nation than is China.
The theory of our Military academy
is that Il thousand men turned out ev-
cry few years can lick into shape 30
600 recruits as they may be needed.
Our standing military strength con-
sists in the main of Il vast reserve of
trained officers chosen from among
our own people. 1t often happens In
China that natives trained by foreign
officers are poor citizens and patriots
when the nation needs them. Doubt
less the prince saw in the American
system u way nut of China's dilemma.
China wants soldiers when she wants
them without building up a vast es-
enlistment of uncertain loyalty and

scores, while the Washburn boys
failed to score.
At Garrison, the Max nine
played a little the better game as

All hills that did not have twenty
tubers of uniform size without knot,

these requirements, and surprisingly
few hills we're found which passed
muster. Enough were selected, how

these were planted the following
