SPRAY AGAIN IN MAY
Perfect Fruit Admits No Insects
e. K. PARKINSON

The warm, bright days of early spring
bring to life the insect world, and the
annual campaign of destruction begins
as soon as the first leaves appear. This
| is, then, one of the most critical times
and the spraying which is done in May
and June viii count for much in a
steady war against these pests. The
first spraying is done with copper sui
phate, but when the blossoms have
formed the apple trees should be sprayed
again with q solution of bordeaux and
paris green tneyer spray fruit trees
while in blossom) to kill the insects
that were not on hand when the first
spraying was done. The bordeaux may
be purchased already mixed and paris
green added in the proportion of one
pound to $50 gallons of bordeaux. See
that the agitator in the sprayer works
freely and does the work thoroughly,
and pair of automobile goggles will
be found very useful in protecting the
eyes while spraying.
The next spraying should be after the
blossoms have fallen but while the lit
tie apples are still standing upright, us
ing the same solution, and this is the
most important treatment in the fight
against the coddling moth.
Other Fruits to Be Sprayed.
Spray the following fruits just after
the blossoms have fallen and use, for
cherries, bordeaux and paris green I;
ounces, bordeaux for leaf and fruit
spot; grapes tspray when flowers OPEN
bordeaux for fungi; plums should receive
the same treatment; gooseberries and
currants, bordeaux and paris green, and
these should be sprayed at the first sight
of worms; peaches, bordeaux to prevent
rot and mildew, and these should be
sprayed just before the flowers open.
In spraying bear in mind that birds
will suffer if poisons are used in greater
strength than is absolutely required, for,
while poisoned worm will not, as a
rule, kill full-grown bird, it may kill
the fedglings. Keep the bark of the
fruit tree well scraped, thus destroying
the breeding places of many pests, and
in trying TO get rid of tent caterpillars
do not burn the nests, for it very seri-
ously injuries the trees, but look instead
for the ring-like egg clusters, which may
be seen in early spring on the small
twigs, and cut off and burn them. After
young eaterpillars hatch out they soon
begin to weave tent, to which they
retreat at night and in stormy weather,
and it is then the nests should be either
cut off and burned or gathered by hand
and destroyed. If given proper protec-
ton, the birds themselves will do won
ders toward keeping down these insect
pests and should therefore always be en-
couraged in every way possible.

LOCATING THE PEACE
CONFERENCE.

Mayor Boutwell's prompt invitation,
through Senator Dillingham;, to the
South American mediators for peace in
Mexico to come to Montpelier to con-
tinue their deliberations during the
summer shows that the Montpelier ex-
ecutive is alive to the interests of his
city; and the selection of the capital
city of Vermont as meeting place of
the mediators was not so entirely out
of the question as it might have seemed
at first thought. The representatives
of the South American countries have
long work ahead of them TO straighten
out the tangle in which Mexico is the
chief participant and the conditions are
such that mediation will brook no de-
lay. Hence immediate consideration OF
the issues at hand is necessary, once
the preliminary steps are completed, to
be followed by continuous attention un.
til the work shall have been completed.
That means that the mediators will
without question be compelled to work
through the summer months; and as
Washington is out of the question as
place of conference during the hottest
months of the summer it becomes nec-
essary to select a place where condi-
tions win best permit of the assiduous
attention that the work requires.
Such place is here in Vermont,
tucked away among the hills and noun
tains of the Green Mountain range; but
there is one consideration entering into
the situation which would be likely to
bar Vermont as well as any place in
side the confines of the United States.
That consideration is that the United
States is a party to the matters in dis
pute and for that reason international
custom would be likely to preclude the
possibility of holding the peace confer
enee on the soil of the United States.
More likely place would be selected
on neutral territory, perhaps in Canada.
Were it not for that fact, Montpelier
would be natural selection as the
meeting place of the peace conference.

Whatever may be the clamor against
war and against open bostilities by the
United States, there can be little said
against the present program of sending
more troops into Mexico to protect the
force already at Vera Cruz as long as it
is encumbent on the United States to
hold the position it has taken. 1t is
impossible to say at what moment the
poorly restrained Mexicans will break
out in movement against the occupy
ing troops; and it would be great
blunder to leave small force open to
attack by large army of Mexicans.

The Duryea crime in New York il
one of the most shocking in recent
months because of the prominent posi-,
ton in business and military life that
the victim had held and also because oil
the fact that the staying was done by
his nearest of kind, son. The un-
wisdom of "humoring" an eccentric son
to the extent of allowing him to have
veritable arsenal on hand is proven
beyond dispute. The experience ought
to be of value in forfending similar pos
sibilities.

Man Who introduced the Now Popular

Chased From City.

IT'S great stuff to be a pioneer

Meaning that Sweeney brought the
turkey trot to New York seven or
eight years ago. At that time the town
was hardly ripe for it. So that Swee-
ney's dance hall had about all the de-
lenses of battleship. One got in by
presenting a card which certified that
the bearer was regular member Of a
club with a nice Indian name. Two or
three times the police tried to raid 1t.
Then there were battles all over the
street, while the patrons were slipped
to safety by subterranean routes. 1t
was his boast then that he did not
pay license to the city or graft to the
police. The upper circles used to visit
Sweeney's when out Summing. 1t was
a poor night when one failed to bounce
bottle off some other ones resilient

trick of knife throwing.
