CURRANT is EASILY GROWN
Hellebore busted Over Bushes lie Sure
Remedy for Worms-Not Much
Care Is Required.

Some of US remember the long rows
OF currant bushes which always Dor
dered grandmother's garden. Some Of
OF us, too, remember the delicious des-
serts of scarlet and white fruit, cooled
with a dash of spring water, and
served with sugar.
Rarely is the fruit offered now and
the following seems the most plausi-
BILE explanation:
The appearance of the currant worm
stripped the bushes of leaves and soon
destroyed their vitality. They became
an eyesore rather than source Of de-
light and were destroyed.
While it has been known for years
that hellebore busted over the bushes
when wet with dew is a sure remedy,
the next generation have failed to re-
new the currant rows, and, as a re,
suit, the far-famed currant jelly, one
of the most delicious of relishes, has
been almost forgotten.
The currant is easily grown, comes
into bearing speedily, and requires
less care than most of the small fruit.
Cuttings should be made in Septem-
Der and October, and planted in rows.
These may have some slight protec.
ton during the winter, though it is
not absolutely necessary.
In the spring there will be as re-
suit a fine bed of rooted cuttings,
which may be left for year undis-
turbed, or then transplanted to the
garden row.
Spraying with bordeaux mixture is
a good remedy for the fungous growth
sometimes attacking the foliage.

AVOID COOLING MOTH INJURY
MANY Owners of Fruit Trees Do Not
Realize Importance of Spraying
Work Not Complex.
CRv G. q WOODBURY.

(By G. @. WOODBURY.
After years of the most forcible OBJ.
tect lessons in the way of regular
yields and good profits from sprayed
orchards and irregular yields and no
profits from unsprayed orchards, the
fact still remains that many owners of
fruit trees do not yet realize the i'm
portance of the subject. 1t cannot
be doubted, on the other hand, that
many possessors of orchards realize
something of the Importance of spray
ing, pruning and other methods OF
orchard hygiene, and yet fail to be-
gin this work because they regard it
as complex, hard to understand. diff
cult to accomplish, disagreeable and
expensive. The work is not complex
and, considering the results which fol
low 1t, is very inexpensive. Spraying
pays. Every owner OF fruit trees
should plan to give them some atten-
ton in the way of spraying. This is
essential to the continued production
of good fruit.
In order to obtain results, however,
1t is necessary for the fruit grower to

spray intelligently. He must know
what he is spraying for; he must
know something of the life history or
disease in question, so that he can
prepare his material and time its ap-
plication most effectively.
For instance, every orchardist
should know that it is the larva or
young of the cooling moth that is re-
sponsible for our wormy apples and
act accordingly. The treatment is to
spray with an arsenical poison, paris
green or arsenate of lead, immediate
ly after the petals fall, using three
pounds of arsenate of lead to so gal
Ions of bordeaux mixture or of water
If paris green is used it should be at
the rate of from six to eight ounces
to each fifty gallons of spray. This
spraying should be repeated in about
ten days. Where the second brood of
cooling moth causes damage, a fur
Their spraying should be given. In lati-
tudes similar to northern Indiana, in
the latter part of July; in southern
Indiana, about two weeks earlier. The
first codling moth spraying, given just
after the petals fall, should be as
thorough as it can possibly be made
Some Of the poison should be gotten
into the calyx throat of every blossom
on the tree.

 IN BECKER CASE
Former Defender of Condemned Man Says Some Important Developments
 Are Expected Soon.

New York, July 15.-Conferences among the lawyers who are trying to save Charles Becker. the former po- lice lieutenant condemned to die for connection with the murder of Herman Rosenthal. continued today, but no announcement was made as the steps to be taken toward that end John F. Mcintyre. who defend ed Becker at his first trial, has again become active in the case and said some important developments were expected soon.
 Justice Willard Bartlett of the court of appeals made public today a letter he had written to Hartford T. Marshall, a lawyer who for time represented "Rridgie" Webber, one of the states chief witnesses against Becker Judge Bartlett's letter was in reply to one which MT. Marshall had sent him regarding the case. in which he is said to have transmitted some important facts that came to his mo- tice while acting as Webber's counsel. Marshall's letter has not been pub iished and Judge Bartlett, when mak ing his reply thereto today, declined to divulge its contents.
 Tn answering the Marshall letter Judge Bartlett writes that he is at loss to understand why the facts therein stated should be communicat- ed to him. as neither he nor any other judge of the court of appeals has any

SCARCITY OF MONEY
 AT MEXICO CITY
Currency Now in Hands of Populace Of Capital Said To Be of

Washington, July 15,-Mexico City, freed of the perils of siege and with prospects of food for the starving. now is confronted with another fam inc. g scarcity of money.
 Millions in currency, issued by the various factions in co. troi passed from one to the other during the last year, have been repudiated py each sue ceeding government. Although sup ported by decree while the issuing faction remained in control, all such currency now in the hands of the pop ulate is of doubtful value.
 Villa issued large amounts, as did Zapata, and when General Obregon first occupied the city for General Carranza he made a large issue. Now that food may come in, many of the fan1ished. although possessed of one or other kinds of money. may be un- able to buy it. Officials here have

BERNSTORFF HOPES
 FOR SETTLEMENT
Believes United States and Germany Can Come to Understanding On
 Submarine Warfare

Washington, July 15.-While there was no outward development today to indicate what progress was being made here toward framing an answer to the last German note , on sub- marine warfare, it is known that off cal are at work setting down views on the situation in definite form for presentation to President Wilson on his return
 The general belief is that the Presi- dent will be here for a regular ca binet meeting next Tuesday and that he may bring with him from Cornish N ft., memorandum or rough draft of note to be sent to Germany He will exchange views first with Secre- tary Lansing, who, it is believed, also has mapped out draft of a note Decision on the policy. to be followed probably will be reached atythe cabi- net meeting and the new note may be completed by the end of next week.
 Before the president returns, Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassa- dor, will call on Secretary Lansing to explain at length the viewpoint of his government. The ambassador recon mended to his foreign office the in- clusion in the last note of those para graphs expressing the hope that the United States and Germany would work together for the adoption of the principle of freedom of the seas. He places much significance on the ex- pressed willingness of Germany to fol- low the lead of the United Stats on this question and thinks the way is thereby open for the United States to mediate the entire controversy on the rules of maritime warfare as they af- feet neutral rights The ambassa dor it is understood, believe his govern ment would accept tender of good offices that had for it's object media ton as between Germany and Great Britain, where the rights of neutrals are involved, either in the carriage of contraband or the safety of pas senger travel.
 Secretary Lansing has not set date for the conference with Count von Bernstorff.- MT. Lansing explained to- , day that he had not yet txplained his examination of the German note and was not ready to discuss it with the ambassador.
