TYPHOID VACCINE

LARGE SUPPLY READY FOR

In view Of the rreyfzence of typhoid

board of health has had all its en-
pioyes vaccinated for typhoid and has
on hand large supply of the vaccine
for distribution at cost to persons
who wish to secure immunity from
this disease.
The board was led to vacc.nate its
inspectors and other employees in view
of the fact that they are forced to
go into sections OF the State where
typhoid fever is prevalent and are
thus inevitably exposed to the dan
gers of infection. The board un-
qualifiedly recommends the vaccine,

live IN communities where typhoid

CHESTNUT BLIGHT
SERIOUS MENACE
FORESTERS OF INTERESTED
STATES APPROVE INyEsTIGA-
TONS OF GOVERNMENT.

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
WASHINGTON, June 2s.--The In
roads of the chestnut bark disease. or
chestnut blight. on the chestnut trees
of the Middle Atlantic States Is result
Ing In the death Of a great deal OF
chestnut timber. Ofi1cials OF the
United States department OF agricul-
ture recommend. to prevent the
spread of the disease. that shipments
of chestnut timber should include
only material from which the bark has
been removed and from which the
diseased spots have been cut out.
In the region affected there Is a
good market for all chestnut products
except cordwood. The demand for
poles and ties absorbs all that are
offered. and lumber finds ready sale
in local markets. Cordweod,, how
ever. is often drug except within
shipping distance of tanning extract
plants. brass foundries. lime kilns,
brickyards and charcoal plants.
The question has arisen as &c
whether tho disease-killed timber Is
less valuable than that from green
trees. Strength tests made by the
forest service indicate that sound
wood from chestnut killed by the bark
disease Is as strong AZ that from greer
timber.
The bark disease kills the tree by
girdling the trunk. and does moi
cause unsound or decayed wood, which
Is the result of attack by fungi or In
sects.. Until two years after the death
~ tho tree the wood generally re-
mains sound. though at the end OF
working in the sapwood. Three years
after death the sapwood is honey
combed with insect burrows: in four
years it has iecayed. and begins to
dry and peel off In the NTH year.
After this the heartwood checks BID
ly. To avoid loss. therefore. all tim
Der should be used within two years
after being killed.
At q recent meeting In Trenton, N.
j.. foresters were present from most
of the States in which the chestnut
bark disease IL prevalent. Connecti-
cut. New Jersey. New York. Penn
sylvania, Virginia, West Virginia.

CONTROLLING THE
TOBACCO WORM
q. s. AGRICULTURAL DEPART
MENT GIVES GROWERS RE-
SUITS OF EXPERIMENTS.

Growers OF dark tobacco in Ken
lucky and Tennessee have a serious
problem in the present tobacco
horn worms. which are great chewers
of green tobacco. When labor was
plentiful and cheap, hand worming'
to com bat the pest. For several years
labor in these tobacco growing dis
'tricts has become scarce and also In
efficient, so growers have been forced
to resort to insecticides. Naturally,
Paris green was tried and found to be
the safest and most efficient of any on
the market, but there has always been
complaint OF frequent and serious
burning of tobacco as result OF its
use.
For fve years employees OF the de-
partment OF agriculture have been
conducting Investigations looking for
a safe and effective insecticide, and
have determined that di-plumbic ar
senate Of lead meets all requirements.
A thorough application OF this in
secticide will XIII practically every
horn worm within two or three days
after being applied and will continue
for several days to kill the young
worms that hatch. without any injury
to the plant. Arsenate OF lead costs
more than Paris green, and II the
comparative cost were the only Ques-
ton, II would be useless to recommend
the former: but the ffrst cost Is only a
secondary consideration. The object
lss 10 kili the worms and not snjure the
plants, and the certainty OF this COM
pensates for the extra cost of the ar
senate Of lead. Arsenate OF lead must
be mixed with a carrier and applied
with q dust gun. Finely sifted. fresh
ly burned wood ashes make the best
carrier. and at least q bulk equal to
the insecticide should be used. Tho
best guns are those with fan d.
ameter Of inches. with an auxiliary
dust chamber.
Apply the mixture when the dew

and make the application thorough.
Do not wait too long. The first APP
plication should be made when the
worms become too numerous to be
kept OF by the hand picking that is
usually done while hoeing. suckering
or topping. and a second and even a
third application may be necessary.
To save the crop. applications must
be given when the number OF eggs and
young worms indicate tho need. and
