EFFECT OF THE WAR ON
THE UNITED STATES.

The London Statist estimates that
by reason of rapid accumulation of
capital at home and the Importation of
foreign capital, the wealth of the
United States doubles in about twenty
years, and that its productive power
increases 100 per cent every ten years.
But, it says. if the present war is of
long duration, this rapid growth in
wealth will be appreciably arrested:
the growth of wealth and income will,
we were at war. 1t cannot. it says.
be questioned that the European war
is a misfortune of unparalleled di-
mensions for all nations-beligerent
and -beligerent-wherever situ-
ated.
mo nation in the world" says the
Statist, has gained greater advan-
tages from the absence of great wars
than the American nation. which. in
consequence of the ability of the
European countries to provide it with
capital for railroad construction and
for other purposes. has grown in
wealth and population with such Won
derful rapidity from generation-in-
deed from decade to decade.
Although the war cannot fail to
check the normal rate of expansion
of wealth. production and population
in the United States in common with
other countries, it has revealed the
solid economic conditions of the coun-
try. and completely disproved the no
tion which had wide currency in Eu-
rope that the economic strength of
the United States was due entirely
to the constant influx of capital from
abroad. 1t is true that influx of cap
ital accelerated the rate of progress,
but the economic strength of the
United States was due to the char.
acter of the American people and the
almost boundless extent of the natural
resources of the country. In the
greatest political and economic crisis
that has ever occurred the United
States have shown to the world that
they can not only pay their way and
meet the whole of their obligations
to foreign nations for interest on the
large amount of capital with which
foreign countries have provided them,
but they can repay substantial sums
of capital already borrowed when
they are required to do So"

Eradication of OandeIions.

WAYS with us. To maintain a lawn
free from this pest means. In most
parts of the country. constant war
fare. and We have at present no meth
DDS of eradication to recommend
which are easy or permanent. The
following methods which are employ
ed are more or less successful accord
ing to locality and the persistence with
which they are followed.
1. Thick seding. Any means by
which thick, vigorous growth of
lawn grass is maintained will greatly
aid in the control of lawn weeds.
Bare spots and thin sod invite a
growth of weeds. Occasional sowing
of new, clean grass seed, well raked
into the bare spots. together with an
nual fertilizing should be practiced.
2. Digging the dandelions. This,
the most comon control method en-
ployed, is quite effective in removing
the large plants. if persistently fol-
lowed and properly done. Unfortrun-
ately the piece of root left in the
ground is capable of sending up one
to six or more sprouts from the cut
end. especially if not cut deeply. A
one inch chisel or long-bladed knife
are suitable tools. and the work is
easiest done after a rain or irrigation
while the ground is soft The plants
Shnn1A hes
and the plants destroyed to prevent
ripening of the seed.
3. Spraying. The use of iron sui
phate at the rate of one and quarter
pounds to the gallon of water applied
in form of fine, forcible spray upon
the lawn has proven effective. at the
Agricultural College in this state. in
greatly reducing the number of plants.
and in some cases entirely eradicating
them. Three applications ten days
or two weeks apart should be given
just after the lawn is mown. No wa
ter should be applied during the next
hours. The grass will
turn dark at first. but soon RECEIVERS
and usually appears more vigorous
than before. This work appears to be
the most effective when done during
and early autumn. Case
line applied with an oil-can at the
rate of about teaspoonful in the
crown of each plant is quite effective
in killing the large plants, and is use
full in conjunction with the other

The Cherry and psar rtree Slug.

Whether or not the cherry trees
bear a crop this year. they should be
protected against the loss of foliage
from the attacks of the pear and
cherry tree slug. When the cherries
are very small, the trees may be spray
ed with arsenate of lead in the pro-
portion of one pound of the paste to
each thirty gallons of water. Instead
of using the arsenate of lead, after
the cherries are half grown or more,
use either white hellebore in the pro
portion of l or. to 3 gallons of water.
or BLACK Leaf 40" in the proportion
of 1 part TO 500 parts of water. and
make thorough spraying for the
purpose of very thoroughly covering
the upper surfaces of the leaves The
BLACK Leaf 40" will only kill the
slugs with which ii comes in contact.
while the hellebore will kill the slugs
with which II comes in contact, while
the hellebore will kill all slugs that
eat ii for several days after the appli-
cation is made. The advantage of us
ing the hellebore or Black Leaf 40''
after the fruit is well grown is that
they do not endanger the people who
eat the cherries after they are ripe.
If one has only a few small cher
ry trees, the slugs may be quite easily
removed by thoroly busting the foliage
in the heat of the day with air slack
ed lime or fine road dust. &C. p. Gil

coloration incases the tissue surround.

spurs arise and either destroys them

The old canes should be removed as
