GETTING SHIP IN SHAPE
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Aviator ID. F. Bennett, who returned
to his home here some time ago af-
ter making several successful flights
this season has now constructed a
Curtis model aeroplane of his own at
the Odjard furniture shop at SIC
South Front street. The machine is
now complete except for the engine
which has not arrived yet. Lyle Thro
is assisting in the construction of the
machine and incidentally learning the
mysteries of aviation. The engine
will be either the Curtis type of a
motorcycle engine and will be eight
horsepower. The spread of the plane
is twenty-siX feet. Most of the parts
have been constructed at the Odjard
furniture shop but some of them are
at the fairgrounds.
Mr.. Bennett expects to be able to
try his machine out in about six
weeks. He says he will make flights
this winter regardless of snow. All
these exhibitions will be free.

Minneapolis, November 9.-Sixty
million dollars worth of grain, for
which the farmers of the northwest
have received cash, was shipped
into Minneapolis from the beginning
of the new crop movement, Septem
Der 1, up to and including today,
and the effect of this, the greatest
early crop movement in northwest
history, was shown today in heavy
country demand for currency, and
complaint of scarcity of dimes,
quarters and half dollars.
Six hundred thousand dollars in
small bills and coins went out to-
day in the shipments of the First
National, Security National and
Northwestern National banks to
country points. This was the heav-
lest one-day shipment total SO far
this crop year. Lee McClung, treas
urer of the United States, notified
Minneapolis bankers when the crop
movement began that there was then
$1S.000,G00 in quarters and halves
in the treasury. Today this stock
has been pulled down appre-
ciably by northwestern demand.
Minneapolis bankers have super
abundance Of nickels and cents.
Minneapolis banks, which for two
days, Wednesday and Thursday,
showed clearings of more than $15.-
100000 are expected to show the
largest deposits on record when the
next call for bank statements from
the controller of the currency at
Washington is received, which
should be some time between now
and December l.

HOW BUSINESS GROWS

TO give some idea how Mankato
is advancing as a commercial cen
ter, figures from the National iCiti
zens bank will be of interest. The
daily deposits for October 1908
were $1,572, 5000; for October, 1909,
were $1,970,724.12; for October, 1910,
were 452,9S7.6O; for October, 1911,
were $2,421, ,742.95; and for October,
1912, were $3,144,486.75.
November 6, the day after cleo
ton, saw the largest days business
done in the history of the bank
The deposits were $217,903.O2, and
paid out on checks $2O4 O55.O3, max
ing a total business of $421,948.05.
This month is likely to see the
daily deposits go over $4,000,000
This indicates business confidence
and expansion in Mankato.

Nearly every year cherry and plum
trees in the central states suffer a
large amount of damage on account
of the common pear slug, or cherry
slug. While the control of this insect
has not been considered a very diff
cult problem, yet IL often happens
that foliage is greatly damaged before
the owner is aware that any slugs are
on his trees.
The pear slug, or cherry slug, is a
dark, almost black, Shiny slug, about
two-fifths Of an inch long when full
grown, which feeds on cherry, pear
and plum leaves.
These slugs feed on the upper sides
Of the leaves, eating out all the tissue
except the veins and the lower surface.
The injured leaves become dry and
brown and fall from the trees, which
are sometimes left entirely bare Of
foliage in midsummer.
Trees are often killed as a result OF
repeated defolation. A short crop of
fruit follows a severe attack by this
Charlevoix county herald., 1912-07-20
disturbing

would also be of value in disturbing
the cocoons.
According to DR.. L. o. Howard,
chief of the bureau of entomology at
Washington, the slugs may be easily
washed OF of small trees by strong
stream of water applied from a gar
den hose under heavy pressure. When
washed to the ground they are unable
10 regain their places on the leaves.
Such a measure as this would be quite
feasible on a small scale in cities, or
where water pressure is available.
Spraying is undoubtedly the best
remedy for the pear slug. OF the two
generations the first is the harder to
combat, especially on cherry trees,
since the fruit is present on the trees
at about the same time that the slugs
are abundant Consequently due care
must be taken in the use of arsenical
poisons at that time. Arsenical poi
sons may be used freely for the Sec
ond generation in the late summer.
The pear slug is rarely destructive
in any locality for many years at a
time. This alternating abundance and
scarcity of the insect is due for the
most part to the activity of it's natural
enemies, the most abundant of which
are two small egg parasites.

Insect, on account Of the weakened
condition of the tree.
Trees that have been damaged by
the slugs appear as if they had been
damaged by fire. The leaves turn
brown, curl up and finally fall. Cherry
trees, under such conditions, are
forced to put out a new growth OF
leaves, weakening the tree and re-
ducing the crop of fruit the following
year.
The slugs appear twice during the
year, and trees should be sprayed as
soon as they appear. They first make
their appearance about the middle of
June, and the second appearance is
about the third week in July.
Insect powder can be used against
these slugs by merely busting it over
the leaves.
Hellebore may be used either in a
dry or liquid form. II must be fresh
for effective use. For dry applica-

green are the least expensive of these
treatments. If a spraying is neccs-
sary while there is fruit on the trees,
hellebore or some other material than
arsenical should be used.
Cultivation under infested trees is
Of value, since it disturbs the cocoons
in the soil there.
Since the slugs spend the greater
part of the year in the ground under
the trees infested in the summer 1t
follows that a thorough stirring Of the
soil would tend TO break up the CO.
coons containing the slugs, and so ex-
pose them to the elements. Berlese
has suggested this measure against
this insect in Italy. This cultivation
would be most effective in the fall so
that the cocoons might be exposed
