COMBATING INSECT
ATTACKS IN THE
ORCHARD AND GARDEN

1t is quite necessary to understand
the nature and method of injury TO
plant life commonly committed by
the hosts and insects, to successful
ly combat their apparently irresisti-
BILE attacks.
However, the treatment for their
successful control is based upon the
method by which the specific insect
gathers its food, i. e., it is biting or
a sucking insect. Each group re-
quires special system of treatment.
The biting insects are those which
actually masticate and swallow some
portions of the plant or tree, and for
these insects direct poisons such as
the arsenicals should be applied to
the parts of the plant attacked.
To control the ravages of the cod
ding moth in your orchard, and there
by reduce the number of wormy ap-
pies to a minimum, spray with mix
ture of three or four pounds Of arsen-
ate of lead mixed with one hundred
gallons Of water applied a. . corase
spray to the calyx cups Of the fruit
after the blossoms have fallen but be-
fore the cup has closed.

PEOPLE SOB ALOUD AS
VICTIMS OF LUSITANIA
ARE LAID TO REST

QUEENSTOWN, May 1O.-The SOL
diers were busy Sunday digging
graves for those victims of the Lusi-
tania who have been recovered. The
funeral procession today of one hun
dred and forty bodies, was in charge
Of the military forces. British flags
draped the coffins. People were in
tears and sobbed aloud at the sight
Of the baby coffins.
Scores of Americans are arriving
here to search for missing relatives
and friends. Hundreds have cabled
descriptions to aid in identifications.
Tugs have returned to the scene,
but the water is so rought it is i'm
possible to drag for bodies. Fisher
men are watching the shores to get
rewards for recovering. A large re-
ward is offered for the recovery of
Alfred G. Vanderbilts body.
The bodies of many Americans
have been ordered sent home and are
being prepared to return on the first
steamer.
1t is the concensus of the surviv-
ors that only five of the thirty-five
life boats were launched and much
criticism is heard of the inadequacy
of the emergency preparation.
The latest list of dead is Lao. Of
this number lis were Americans. The
number Of saved WAS 767.

the one great unknown factor to-
day Is the extent Of Germany's am
munition supply. How long she will
hold what she has already taken and
what will be the strength of her Of
fensive is measured by her ability to
continue supplying herself with am
munition in abundance.
Reserve Lines Stronger.
Whereas, the present fighting line
was chosen rather at random-just
where the forces clashed and the men
dug themselves in-each of the lines
along the rear has been constructed
carefully along natural stragetic lines
selected by engineers. The net result
is that even a successful smashing Of
an enemy's fighting line and break
ing through at any one point, only
means that the defeated force falls
back few miles to take up a new
position in stronger trench already
waiting.
Germany has notyet exhausted
her reserves in the matter of men.
France has developed so rapidly dur
ing the past six months that she will
be able to get her efficiency little high
er. Russia apparently can contribute
nothing more than she has except in
creased numbers and Hindenburg has
shown that mere numbers cause him
little worry.
England Must Win Victory.
There has been nothing so far to
indicate that Germany faces proba-
bility of defeat in the open field. II
defeated it will probably only be by
wastage. Meanwhile the wastage of
the allies will be equally heavy. If
France or Belgium can contribute
nothing more, the additional weight
necessary for an allied victory must
come from England.
"Up to this time the average Eng
lishman has not sensed the price he
will have to pay for a crushed Ger
many. He has not yet suffered as
Germany and France have suffered,
because relatively his contribution of
troops has been small. A press CEN
sorship to which the Englishman is
wholly unaccustomed has prevented
him from getting the thrill that would
come from full knowledge of the
facts. As result England is rapidly
approaching a point where she must
choose between one of three courses,

"Pay Up" Week
is Planned
Continued from Page ~

declared as Pay UP week in every city
and town in Colorado. We want the
commercial associations everywhere to
begin now to make the arrangements.
Call meetings of your business men,
speak to the editors, print placards
and do everything possible to adver-
tise the week of May "a to 20 as Pay
UP week.
During that week every debtor will
be asked to pay up as much as pos
sible of his current obligations. There
is no business man that does not have
on his books large number of slow
accounts. If these accounts were set
tied or even partially settled every
business man would wear the smile Of
prosperity. If all over this state,
during the week of May "a to 29, the
men in every walk of life who owe
money were to walk into Offices Of
their creditors and say, Here, want
to pay up part of that old debt a
wave of prosperity would swell up in
the state and spread out over the
country. The carrying out Of this
Pay Up week plan by every CONNER
cial association would mean the abso-
lutte and complete abolition Of hard
times in Colorado.
"This letter is being sent to every
commercial association in the state.
In other words, we are organizing the
whole state for prosperity. 1t has
been the lack of such organization
in the past that has permitted the
psychological condition known as hard
times to exist, and if we are prepared
to act now as unit we shall be able
to Danish hard times for good. If the
plans suggested by the committee are
carried out, the unemployment prob
lem will be settled in Colorado and
other states will begin to initiate our
example"
In its work of organizing the entire
state in a campaign for the relief Of
idleness, the committee is going ahead
with systematic thoroughness. Let
ters have been sent to all state, coun-
ty and city authorities with jurisdic-
tion over public improvements urging
them to commence all necessary pub
lie work at once. Advertisements in
tended to arouse the interest and CO.
operation of the general public have
been sent to every newspaper in Colo
RADIO. Energy and efficiency are ap-
parent in the committees work SO far
and an Elective organization of state
wide dimensions should result.

WHAT ARE WE COMING To?

Many of the towns throughout the
state are organizing for the purpose
Of "Pay-Up Week" and have set the
last week of this month. This would
certainly be shock to some people
who contract bills with no intention
of ever paying-as have every busi-
ness house in Durango. The world
is full Of them. Boulder, through its
commercial club, and Denver, have
also taken up the scheme. Could Du-
range do the same it might have a
tendency to jar some loose who pay
little attention to paying their bills
unless forced to do 80. THE HER
AID the past four months has mail
ed bills running up into the hundreds
Of dollars. Out of that amount there
are those who pay promptly and take
q pride in doing so and without a
frown. We're those who are indif-
ferent about paying their just bills
when due to know how the business
man who has separated himself from
his merchandise or the manufacturer
whose pay roll must be met is wor-
ried and oftentimes obliged to borrow
from the banks or obtain extensions
from their creditors, they would exert
themselves to pay up The Herald
will watch the result of the towns and
cities which have started a scheme
for a 'Pay-Up Week" the last of
May.
