Government Has Employ
ment Offices Scattered
All Over Country.

The u. S. Department of Labor has
recently extended it's system of en-
ployment Offices so that now there are
branch offices in every important city
in the United States. These Offices
have been located centrally in the ter
ritory which has been assigned to them
in order that help may be directed
quickly to any applicants. The first
office to be opened by the Government
was in New York City. This Office has
been in operation for number of
years and has proved quite successful.
During the early part of the year
Offices were opened in zones and sub
zones, Chicago being in charge of a
zone with Detroit and Sault Ste. Marie,
Michigan, known as sub-zone Offices.
The State of Michigan has been divid-
ed into districts and assigned to these
three stations, the Upper Peninsula
being assigned to the Office at Sault Ste
Marie and the lower Peninsula to De-
troit, with the exception of few
counties in the southwestern part Of
the state which are more easily reach
ed from Chicago.
At the time these offices were open
ed the efforts of the department were
directed solely toward supplying farm
ers with help. Applications for help

SAN JOSE SCALE
IS REAL MENACE
Prof. Taft Tells How To
Treat This Enemy Of
The Fruit Tree.

The San Jose Scale has now become
distributed over most of the counties
in the southern half of the lower PENN
sula and has destroyed thousands of
trees which the owners had not taken
the precaution to spray. On the other
hand, where the proper remedies had
been thoroughly applied, the insects
have been held in check and in many
cases have been practically exterminat-
ed. Where spraying has failed to con-
troll them, it is due to using too weak
sprays, or from lack of thoroughness in
spraying.
Lime-sulphur solution, either home
made or the commercial brands, is the
most effectual remedy for this insect,
but it must be used at the rate Of not
less than one part Of "a per cent COM
mercial solution to nine parts of water;
or one part Of homemade solution
with the formula 100 pounds sulphur,
60 pounds lime and so gallons of
water) in six parts of water.
Although the application may be
made in the fall, or in the spring after
freezing weather is over, the best re-
suits will be obtained when the treat
ment is given just as the buds are open
ing. However, if the trees are badly
infested, it is often advisable to spray
them in the fall and repeat the appli-
cation in the spring.
"Scalecide" and some of the other
soluble oils are often used with good
results but care should be taken not TO
apply them to peaches, plums and
cherries; and upon other fruits a very
fine spray only, should be used.
The soluble oils are particularly val
liable for fall applications and from the
fact that they spread considerably up
on the branches, they sometimes give
better results than lime-sulphur solu-
tion unless pains are taken to cover
every part of the trees with the latter
solution.
Soluble Sulphur" is sometimes rec
commended for the San Jose scale. 1t
is not a lime-sulphur preparation but

A letter from our good friend John
II. Shrine, dated from Los Angeles,
California, March Is, 1915, contains the
following clipping from the Los An
geles Herald of last Saturday, relative
to the annual Michigan Picnic held
there. Brother Shrine also gives us
the names of those who registered
from Van Buren County and concludes
by saying, that for some reason un-
known to him, the attendance this year
from Van Buren county was smaller
than usual.
Several thousand persons gathered
at Sycamore grove today to attend the
annual picnic of the Michigan State So
ciety.
Special trains brought hundreds of
Wolverines from Alhambra, Long
Beach, Pasadena, Santa Ana and Or
ange to the park. The picknickers ar
rived at the park early, prepared TO
spend an enjoyable day recalling
scenes and renewing acquaintances of
their home state.
Music was provided by the jubilee
singers of the Tuskegee institute.
Races were contested by children and
fat men and women. Addresses were
made by Col. e. S. Ormsby, former
president of the Federation of State So
cieties; O. w. Blain, president of the
society; T. L. OBrien, secretary and
other prominent members. An origin

casion was read by Mrs. G. F. Blizen.
