APPLE APHIS
Third Article by Prof. L. r.
Taft On Spraying.

! For a number of years serious injury
has been done in apple orchards,
especially on young trees by the green
plant louise, known as the apple aphis.
The black, shiny eggs are laid in the
fall upon the twigs near the buds.
These hatch in the spring and the
young lice often collect in immense
numbers upon the leaf and flower buds
from which they suck the sap. Later
on, they are found upon the underside
of the leaves, which become wrinkled
and curled so that it is difficult to reach
the insect with a spray. The rosy aphis
which appears at the same time, may
be even more harmful since it is par
ticularly injurious to the fruit
The work of these insects not only
results in injuring and destroying the
foliage, but they may seriously arrest
the development of the twigs. The
lice also attack the fruit, checking its
growth and causing it to become gnarl-
ed and understood. The clusters of
apples the size of hickory nuts some
times found on the trees in the fall
show the destructive work of this insect
Many of the eggs and young lice are
often destroyed by parasites, especially
when the weather is warm in the
spring. The dormant spray of lime
sulphur solution used for the scale will
destroy many of the eggs and the sum-
mer sprays will also be helpful against
the lice, but when conditions are favor
able for the development of the lice a
special treatment is necessary, particu-
, larly upon young trees. This can be
furnished by adding nicotine solution
to the lime-sulphur spray, given when
the blossom buds are in the pink.
Some of the standard 40 per cent
sulphate nicotine solutions, such as
"Black Leaf 49," may be used for this
purpose at the rate of p pint to sc
gallons of lime-sulphur solution, which
should contain about l and q gallons
of some of the "a per cent commercial
solutions. Unless the nicotine solution
is used with lime-sulphur solution,
pounds of soap (preferably whale-oi
or fish-oiD should be added for each sc
gallons of water. Care should be taken
not only to spray very thoroughly so as
to reach all of the insects, but liberal
amounts should be applied.
When the insects appear later in the
season the same treatment may be
given but as the lice will be more OF
less protected by the foliage they can
not be as easily reached as when the
blossom buds are in the pink.
The plant lice exude honey-dew
making the leaves glossy and sticky
and, since this favors the development
of "sooty fungi" the leaves have {
brown or black appearance late in tn,
season.

failure to pay the summer tax, and the
same can then be paid together with

fore stated. Many a person has had
his attention called to the tax Sale List

sale for non-payment of taxes, much to
his surprise, and upon investigation
found he had overlooked summer tax.
This could hardly be possible if this

SHALL EAST JORDAN HAVE
AN NJ. n. G. COMPANY
PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR COMPANY TO BECOME
PART OF STATE MILITARY ORGANIZATION.

For over year Company "X"-East
Jordan's Military Organization-has
had an application filed with the State
Department for admission into the
Michigan National Guard. Recently
a vacancy occurred and now three cities
are after the honor-Battle Creek, Lud-
ington and East Jordan. Without
qualiting Company "X" stands first in
the line of applicants for several rea-
sons. Since its organization in the fall
of 1913, the members have reported for
drill regularly and, under careful train
ing are now able 10 make good show
ing particularly as an independent or
ganization Another thing that augurs
we'll for Company X is the fact that
they have never asked for a donation
from the local people, having been
self-supporting and during that time
have maintained an average member
ship of between forty and fifty men,
bers.
We understand the State requires a
membership of sixty-five to be main
tained and the officers and members of
Company X are confident that this can
be very easily complied with as there
are number Of our local men who
would be glad to enter membership in
to the Company if it is put into State
service We understand this is the
main argument against placing the
Company here, East Jordan is to small
a city to maintain the necessary sixty
five members. This is erroneous as
we now have and will continue to have
plenty of men who will gladly enter
the service of the Stale, but who at
present cannot see any benefit to be
derived from an independent organiza-
ton. With just good prospect OF the
Company entering State service, nine
new members were received into the
organization at their meeting last
Tuesday evening.
Adjutant General r. c. Vandercook
has promised to be an East Jordan
visitor in the hear future and if the
business men and leading citizens OF
our city will boost hard for this PROPOSE.
ton, it will be a comparatively easy
matter to convince the State National
Guard officials that Company X is fully
capable of meeting all their require.
ments.
That the securing of this honor WOULD
be one of the biggest things for Eas'
Jordan in the way of advertising oul
city throughout the state, cannot be
overlooked, and we, as citizens should
do our utmost to offset any Of the kind
ly "knocks" that may come from our
rival cities.
The entry of Company X into the
Michigan National Guard would mean
the erection here, by the state, of 6
suitable building or armory for drilling
and keeping the equipment. The equip
ment, which is also furnished by the
state, consists Of two uniforms, ar
overcoat an up-to-date Springfield
rifle, tents, haversacks and all othel
paraphernalia.

The fire loss of the United States for
the first half of this year-no, not the
loss, but the cost of the ash heap, is
given at $l33,01S, $50; an increase of
nearly $15,000,0O0 over corresponding
period of last year.
We are shown that Belgrade, the
capital of the little Balkan kingdom of
Servia, city of 100000 people, has had
a fire loss of only twelve cents per cap
ita per year for the last ten years or
more, and that is fire loss. The cost
of some of the municipal ash heaps in
this country are from $3.50 to $500 per
capita. The fault does not lie with our
fire departments, for our fire depart
ments are efficient and their efficiency
is because OF our fire hazard
What is the cause of the fire? The
mental, not indecency but lack of de-
cency of the individual What's the
remedy? Better building laws and
education Of the whole people in the
value of the economy of Fire Proven

THE CAUSE AND THE CURE.

State Inspector of Orchards
New-York tribune., 1915-03-18
Potato Week.

New York State has surplus crop Of
potatoes, wherefore the State College Of
Agriculture proposes a potato week.
from March % to April 8. It's slogan
no enterprise launched against the public's
wits, hearts or pockets is properly
equipped these days unless it has a
Slogan "-unquestionably will be Buy a
barrel of spuds." The consumer is TO be
enticed into eating potatoes prepared in
various styles, and efforts are to be made
to enlarge the common fund Of knowledge
as to the ways of preparing the succulent
tuber to tempt the palate.
The potato is an excellent feature of
the cuisine, and the New York State po-
tato, especially that from Long Island, is
an excellent specimen Of the tribe. Never
theless, potato week isn't likely to dispose
of the surplus crop as long as potato prices
continue to make as much of hole in the
family's surplus cash as they do now.
Most families would be willing to buy
more potatoes if they cost less. The crop
undoubtedly can be disposed of if the
prices fall low enough. That, however,
may not be part of the programme.

Run Workshops with City Funds.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the discussion which is
taking place in your correspondence columns
about employment bureaus, many letters
have appeared regarding contributions and
donations. and one in particular asking the
committee TO file a statement of the dis
bursements and work performed.
II seems to me that the best plan would be
to have the city run the workshops with its
own funds. Surely some means could be
devised whereby several hundred thousand
dollars could be appropriated for this pur-
pose. In this connection | beg to state that
as founder Of the Humanitarian Cult sent
a letter to our good Mayor, reading as fol-
lows:
1--WE heartily indorsc and approve the steps
taken by you in providing workshops for the
unemployed, where they can obtain work. and
believe that the benefit will make itself felt
more and more as time goes on, and we also
commend the assistance rendered by Messrs.
Gary and Perkins.
ave, however, respectfully suggest that in
future all such workshops be provided for
with city funds, so that the progress Of the
work need not be retarded in case private in
dividuals do not furnish sufficient means"
This letter was authorized By an audience
composed Of about six hundred people with
out a dissenting voice. do not think that
any one would object TO slightly higher tax
on that account. NJ f. APPLEBAUM.

fact that on Monday night the larger part
