Suggestions for Controlling Leaf
Roller.


For the past three months the writ
er has spent much time experimenting
with different contact sprays to de-
termine their effect upon the eggs O:
the leaf roller. In the neighborhood Of
1000 egg masses have been treated
during this time. practically all our
common sprays were tried at various
strengths but the eggs were found TO
be remarkably resistent. During the
time of this work eggs were kept IN
a glass house where the temperature
seldom got below freezing, even in
the coolest weather. and were thus
forced to hatch much earlier than un-
der normal outdoor conditions.
There is still much to be learned
from experimental work in orchards
about both contact sprays and arse
meals. but as yet no contact spray
such as lime and sulphur. black leaf
tobacco extract. etc. has given at all
promising results.
Recommendation.
In view OF the fact that the eggs ap-
parenty cannot be practically de-
stroyed. by contact poisons. as our
present knowledge leads us to believe.
the following recommendations for
the seasons campaign are given:

whatever the noise and buster and apparent provOcatiOn there will never be another great war in Europe. The game is played out.
 This declaration was made by pr. David Starr Jordan, president Of the Leland Stanford University.
 President Jordan points out that war Is world sickness, which must spread from one part to all the oth- CTS He tells of the degeneration of nations through the loss of their best citizens, the young, virile men in war. and traces through history the wrecking of empires. Japan terrible strength, as shown in the war with Russia, was not due to constant practice in warfare, ne says. but rather to centuries oi peace, wherein tthe race had grown strong through a struggle for existence, which had eliminated the weak instead of the strong and courageous.
 international peace means a condition in which the boundary line between nations is not a line ol suspicion and hate, but conyen' Tenience In judicial adjustment and administrative adjustments.
 such a boundary line is the four thousand mile line that separates Canada from the United States, an uudefeuded border which for nearly a hundred years had not known a fortress nor a warship nor a gun.
 "An armed peace, by which ma tions are supposed to be frightened into acquuiescence is, in the Ions run, likely to be as ruinous as war Though war has ceased, its cos still goes on.

 To control it is not necessary to own. As one may control a rail way without owning it, so one may control a nation. The war debt of Europe today approaches twenty-six thousand millions of dollars. The system of laying burdens on poster ity. says Goldwin Smith, removes the last cheek on war.
 By means of indirect taxation the people never know what they are paying. By means of the war debt the cost is shifted to gener- ations vet unborn. We are no long CT living beyond our means, but beyond the means of the fourth gen. eration.
 Twelve millions of dollars yes terday was the standard cost of a dreaduou Int; today it is Sl5,OOO,- 900, and a few more years will raise this to S25,0OO,OOO, unless, in deed, by that time such vessels can be had for their worth in old iron.
 Tt is easier for a nation, as for a man. to fall into the lead of its associations than to strike out for itself toward thrift, honesty and prosperity.
 Tt cost US 65O,OOO lives of young men to get rid of slavery, I saw not long ago in Maryland fifty acres of those young men. There are some l2.OOO acres filled with them on the fields of the South. And this number was the best the nation could bring The gaps they left are filled to all appearances. But new generation has grown up of men ana women since the war.

Spurrnax can be bought at any drug store

After it is once tried it is liked so well
that it is always used in place of face

be a wonderful whitener and skin-beau-
