January Movement of
Apples From Storage

n CCORDING to investigations con-
~ Quoted by the Office Of Markets,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, there was an increase In the
movement of cold storage apples dur
ing January as compared with De-
cember. 1t is impossible to give the
total quantities of boxes and bar
rels in storage ON February / be-
cause many firms withhold informa-
tion as to their holdings. However.
it is thought that a sufficient num-
ber are cooperating with the Office
of Markets to warrant conclusions
as to the total movement throughout
the country.
Basng estimates upon the returns
apple cold storages and granting the
conditions for this number are rep
resentative Of the whole, it appears
(D that holdings on February i,
1915, were 2S.4 per cent greater
than on the same date two years
ago; (2) that 252 per cent of the
total holdings have been moved since
December /. the decrease of barreled
stock being 2S.4 per cent and boxes
II per cent; 90 that during Janu-
AIRY II per cent of barreled apples
and 106 per cent Of boxed apples
were taken out OF cold storage, the
total decrease on the basis of hold
ings December l being So per cent.
1t was not thought that the de-
mand for cold storage apples in jan
uary would be very much greater
than in December, owing to the fact,
as pointed out in previous report,
that the large supply OF common
storage stock, together with Christ
mas purchases, would restrict the
movement of apples from cold stor-
age during last month.
The attention of those interested
is called again to the fact that prac-
tically all common storage apples,
as rule, pass into consumption by
the first Of February. If this con-
dition has been true Of the present
season. it Is thought that the move
ment of cold storage apples will be
very large during February and
March.
The supply certainly is bountiful
and, as the result of low prices and
large demand, it is thought the
consumption during the next few
months will be sufficient to exhaust
the supply.
The advisability Of moving the
stocks as rapidly as possible is urged
upon growers and dealers so that
the unusually large holdings may
diminish sufficiently to prevent dis
aster in April or May.

Progress in Campaign
Against Powdery Scab

THE campaign agains powdery
4 scab in Maine potatoes has now
resulted in the freeing of the fol-
lowing districts; The towns of Med
way, Woodville, Mattewamkeag,
VIM, Kingman and Prentiss, and
the plantations Of Webster and
Drew, in Penobscot County; and the
plantations of Molunkus and Mac
wahoc, in Aroostook County. Table
potatoes grown within these areas
may now be SHIPPED in interstate
commerce without restriction.
1t is also announced in the service
and regulatory announcements of the
Federal Horticultural Board that the
Island of Bornholm, in Denmark, has
been freed from the disease, and
that potatoes can now be imported
into this country from there. These
importations were stopped In May,
1914, when powdery scab was found
In two bags among consignment
of 4S0 from the island
The regulations governing the po-
tato quarantine have also been
amended in one or two respects. I'm
der the new regulations potatoes
transported In packages can only be
put in containers which are either
new or have been sterilized since
last used. Each container must also
have a card initiated by the inspector
who issued 1t. In the case OF car
load lots. however, one card is suf-
ficient. Car or schooner lots must
be kept separate, In case OF reship-
ment, from other potatoes.
The service and regulatory an
nouncements of the Federal Horti-
cultural Board also contain notices
of three fines, of $25 each, imposed
for violations Of the gypsy moth and
brown-tail moth quarantine by per-
sons who shipped Christmas trees
out Of Massachusetts; and two other
fines, of $25 and SIS, for shipping
forest products out Of the same state.

Fumigation Method
for Imported Seed

A SATISFACTORY method for de-
"A stroying injurious insects in i'm
ported seed without affecting the
value of the seed has been used by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, and is described in a new
bulletin fNo. 1867 entitled, "A Meth
cd of Fumigating Seed" Interested
individuals who apply to the depart
ment at Washington, D. c., will be
sent the bulletin.
in the new method the infested
--ed is placed in chamber in which
a partial vacuum has been created.
The chamber is then filled with a
very deadly gas-hydro-cyanic acid,
which penetrates more effectively
into the seed because Of the previ-
ously created vacuum. 1t has been
found that a considerably shorter
exposure was necessary in using this
method of fumigation than in the
usual method. The bulletin de-
scribes the experiment completely,
giving details and illustrations OF the
chamber used in the experiment
Hydro-cyanic acid Is, of course, a
most dangerous poison and should
not be handled by, any except those
who are thoroughly familiar with it.
Another gas-carbon bi-sulphid-is
to be used by the department in a
similar experiment, the results of
which will be announced later.

Para-Dichlorobenzene
Is New lnsecticide
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." i.

i the formidable name of
chemical compound which has only
recently been used as an insecticide,
but which, in being non-inflammable
and comparatively inexpensive, pos
sesses advantages over other fumi-
gants. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's new bulletin
mo. 167) is entitled, Para -dichloro-
benzene as an Insect Fumigant, and
points out that the compound, al
though deadly to insects, is harmless
TO human beings under ordinary con-
ditions and does not have an odor
which clings to fabrics as do many
insecticides.
Para-dichlorobenzene is applied in
most instances in the same manner
as camphor and napthalene. 1t is
not, however, necessary to sprinkle
it around in corners or over rugs
and other material, as is often the
case with camphor and napthalene,
but merely to expose sufficient
quantity in one or two open or par
TALLY open receptacles, placed over,
or higher, than the infested cases,
goods, and materia which requires
fumigation.
Para-dichlorobenzene at the pres
ent time is sold in 5, 10, 25, so and
100-pound and barrel lots, the prices
for which are as follows:
23 cents per pound in 5, 10 and
25-pound lots.
IS cents per pound in 5o-pound
lots.
II cents per pound in 1O0-pound
lots.
Is cents per pound in barrel lots
II any considerable quantity is to
be used, it is much better to purchase
of some wholesale druggist or direct
from the manufacturers.
Para-dichlorobenzene is applicable
10 many insect pests living under
various conditions and environment,
and therefore requires specific meth
DDS of application, and, unlike car
bon bi-sulphid, it is at the present
time used only indoors and in other
places where its vapors can be close
ly confined. AS there is a great
variation in the tenacity of life
among, insects, the existing condi-
tions should be carefully noted be-
fore para-dichlorobenzene is applied.
Beetles. such as the rice weevil,
granary weeyil, the confused flour
beetle, the cadelle, the yellow meal
worm, and few others less COM
mon are particularly hard to kill
when in the adult stage. The larvae
of certain other mealworms are like
wise found by experiment to pos
sess great tenacity of life. 1t is
therefore recommended that a pro-
portionately larger amount of para
dichlorobenzene be used when com
batting these species.
Moths, flies, reaches, ants and
aphides are readily killed by para
dichlorobenzene when used in the
ordinary strength as previously rec
ummended.

Luxembourg in 1841, and came to
America, when seventeen years of age.
He was united in marriage to Miss

CALLS Meeting OF
AMERICAN BANKERS
Promotion Of South American
Trade Object Of Gathering,

Washington. - Announcement was
made by Secretary McAdoo that Presi-
dent Wilson had set May 10 for the
projected conference between leading
bankers Of the United States and the
finance ministers and influential bank
ers of Central and South America. The
meetings will be held in Washington,
and the visitors will be entertained as
the guests of this government, con-
gress having appropriated $4,000 for
the expenses.
This meeting will be the outcome of
the most serious effort yet made to
remove some of the artificial barriers
which have obstructed the movement
of trade between this country and
South America. Some of these diff
culties were considered at a less form
al conference held in this city last
summer At that time it was the con-
sensus of opinion Of the South Ameri-
can authorities that the great bar to
closer business relations between the
United States and the countries below
the isthmus was the lack Of banking
connections. So long as the South
Americans had to look to Europe for
capital, it was asserted, the United
States could not expect to capture any
large share of business.
The European war brought right
about change in this situation, making
it impossible for Great Britain, France
or Germany to furnish new funds, and
coincidentally United States national
banks received permission under the
federal reserve act to open foreign
branches. For this reason great I'M
portance is attached to the approaching
conference.
At the request of Secretary Bryan
and Secretary McAdoo congress passed
a resolution granting authority to the
president to invite the governments OF
Central and South America to send
their ministers Of finance and leading
bankers to a joint conference with the
secretary of the treasury and repre-
sentative bankers with view to es-
tablishing closer and more satisfactory
financial relations. The leading gov
ernments already had been approached
on this subject and had indicated their
willingness to participate in such
meeting

HIGH PRICES FOR ZINC ORE

j. H. Lewis: Complete figures show
expectation of 5,445 tons of spelter dur
ing February and there is pretty
sturdy unloading going on in this di-
rection for the first two weeks of March.
One of the largest zinc ore operators in
the Wisconsin field estimates that Wis
consin will increase it's normal output
of zinc ore % per cent within the next
six months and also observes for publi-
cation the fact that immense quantities
of zinc ore are bound to develop in
western zinc areas within the next
ninety days. This same authority, one
of the best informed mining men in the
field, makes the statement that high
prices will prevail in the spelter mar
kets for another six months.
Prices for zinc ore stood up remark
ably we'll all over the field. The basis
ranged all week from $65 to $40 on go
per cent basis of zinc content; 55 per
cent, $57 to $62 so per cent, $50 to $52;
45 per cent, $40 to $42; 40 per cent, $35
to $37; 80 per cent. $32; 80 per cent,
$28. 1t will appear from these figures
that low grades suffered by comparison
and ruled practically on base of about
$50 per ton.

ADVERTISED; NO DEPRESSION.
Instead 100000 Newspaper Campaign
Swelled Roofing Orders.

ST. Louis.-The results of 100000
campaign of newspaper advertising
that brought in the midst of the busi-
ness paralysis following the outbreak
of the European war a maximum
gain in business of 20 per cent over the
fourishing trade Of the same period
year before were announced by George
NJ Brown. president of roofing COM
pany.
While other manufacturers were be-
moaning the depression. Mr.. Browns
concern broadened its scope until, com
pletely outstripping even the record Of
its most prosperous era, it is exhibiting
for January and February a series Of
colossal gains. For these two months.
Mr.. Brown says, the maximum gain in
business was 70 per cent in some de-
partments and the minimum gain in
any department was 10 per cent over
the corresponding period in 1914. when
conditions generally were at or above
normal.
Not one of the concerns LOGO en-
ployees has been laid off a minute since
the newspaper advertising campaign
was started and all have received their
regular salaries or wages. Three shifts
were kept at work daily all fall and

THE WOMEN'S CIVIC CLUB

The regular meeting of the Women's
Civics Club was held in the High
School Assembly room Saturday after
noon.
AS an opening number the high school
orchestra favored the members with
two selections, which were enjoyed by
all.
The reports of the Civics and Educa-

remember as one of the most impressive
speakers at the first meeting, pre-

Gone to Beldiun1.

Miss Josephine Roche, daughter Of
Mr.. John J. Roche of Denver, Colora
do, has been sent by the international
Commission for the relief Of Belgium
to make a personal inspection of that
country. Miss Roche is the first po-
licewoman for the city of Denver. In
speaking Of her trip and mission the
Denver Express says:
"Miss Roche is aboard the liner
Philadelphia and her ship was Thurs
day entering the forbidden zone pre-
scribed by Germany. It is scheduled
to arrive at Liverpool Saturday night
and Miss Roche will reach London
Sunday.
Miss Roche left Denver several weeks
ago. Always interested in social SER
vice work she had deep sympathy for
the sufferings of the Belgians and when
the commission decided to choose a
representative to personally view the
conditions in that country, she was
in Denver and other cities and her
ability to write and speak we'll.
Miss Roche will go into every section
of Belgium. She will probably person
ally discuss the situation in his country
with King Albert, in the little territory
which is still free from German in
vaders.
Then she will go into the territory
held by Germany, among the wasted
villages and shattered homes, through
the grave dotted fields and along the
ruined highways.
She will talk with soldiers, civilians,
statesmen and the officers of the invad
ing Germans, but her chief work will
be among the women and the children,
the widows and orphans of war
Following her return to the United
States, Miss Roche is scheduled to
speak in practically every state in the
union. Her lectures will be under the
auspices of the state relief committees,
but she will go into many states where
those committees do not yet exist, in
hopes that they may be organized as a
result of her work.
John J. Roche was formerly of Dar
lington. Miss Roche is a cousin of
Harry FL. Pilling of this city.
