DESTROY GREEN
CABBAGE WORMS
e1ectuaI Spray to Eradicate In
sect Pest Is Given-Bugs
Are Voracious.

The cabbage worm Is the larva OF
the white butterfly. which may be
seen flying around the garden early
in June. The moth lays her egg In
the heart OF the cabbase-the eggs
soon hatch out where the weather is
hot and dry. The worms are small
at first. and OF greenish color. They
are voracious and feed mostly on the
inner leaves OF the cabbage. Unless
destroyed when young. the cabbage
will bs ruined. as they eat out the
heart OF the cabbage. The most etfec.
tual remedy Is the paris green solu.
tion-made as follows:
Pure paris green. one pound. and
water SO gallons: mix thoroughly.
spray the cabbage as soon rs the
worms appear. Some gardeners use
the dry paris green miXturc-which Ii
made as follows: Paris green. one
tables poonful mixed with two gallons
OF air.slaked lime--or dry land plaster
The paris green solution is not
harmful when cabbage is small. When
the cabbage commences to bead up
use llammond's Slug Shot. This Is
less poisonous than paris green aud
safer to use when fruit or vegetables
are nearly ripe. It may be had for
ten cents per pound. A mixture OF
fine table salt and black pepper Is
said to be effective. 1t should be
sprinkled in the heart OF the cabbage
when leaves are wet with dew Ap
ply as soon as worms appear. The
salt when dissolved will kill the worms
and also help the growth OF the cab
bage.

WAR.

War is an economic crime In
this practical ale. In the more
practical ages of the future the
time is bound to come when
there can be no war. A war lord
or war party will come to be
regarded as a reasonable calam-
ity.
We must realize a balance of
territory in this world some time
and must guarantee to the small
err countries the preservation OF
their boundaries.
In Europe the two great groups
of powers are balancing ut the
present time. There are 5000.
600 armed men in the world and
100000 in the navies who are
burden on the workers of the
world. who produce nothing and
consume much. IL we are really
civilized. If we are making prog
ress in the humanities that must
come to an end. myself have
no illusions about the speedy dis
solution of those forces. The
war debts of the world never
can be paid and never will be
paid. A great war would simply
come to an end for lack of mon
ey. AS bankers we do not want
to finance wars. We want to
finance something that is pro-
ducing. not Observation-Disclosures
