when in reality 1t Is the larva Of one Of
our leaf eating hymenopterous insects,
which are known as sawfiies-
These larvae feed upon the upper
epidermis Of the leaves, In many cases
completely ~skeletonizing them, and In
time they turn brown and wither. Bad
ly infested orchards have the appear
ance of having been swept by fire. En-
tire defoliation of trees, in many cases,
occurs by midsummer, and the fruit
fails to fully mature. In cases Of later
complete defoliation the vitality Of the
trees is SO weakened that the fruit buds
for the succeeding year are weakened.
hence a shortage in production.
There is no need of this loss by these
insects, as they a readily be de-
stroyed by a contact or arsenical spray.
Arsenate Of lead, four pounds, or paris
green, one pound, to 100 gallons, may
be used successfully as a spray with
water. Or the slugs may be controlled
by an application Of freshly Stacked
lime busted upon the leaves, Of white
hellebore, two ounces to 100 gallons Of
water, or ''black leaf 40" at the rate
Of one gallon to 800 gallons of water.
The last may be applied In a consider
ably weaker solution by adding a lit
tie soap. four or five pounds, to the
mixture. In cases Of thorough appli-
cations, one gallon of black leaf, 40
to 1900 gallons Of water, have given
very satisfactory results, but for all
general purposes, one gallon to 1000
gallons of water Is to be recommended.

EATON CHASE IDEA
 USED AS MODEL
For Washinston's Birthday Light Up Night Suggested by Edison People.

In the current issue of The Edison Business Builder, which contains a day Aght-Up Night, the working scheme followed by the Eaton Chase company of this city for the Edison day ight-up carried out here last Oc- tober is given as a model.
 Of this Norwich event, The Business Builder says:
 The Light-U -Up-Nlght idea is the product of the fertile minds of the Eaton Chase company of Norwich, Conn. r. w. Cary, secretary of the company, was the prime mover in the enterprise, and it was his energetic and made it the very great success it was.
 In our summary of the way to pro- ceed in carrying out celebration of this description, We have adhered closely to the lines laid down by the Eaton Chase company. Their methods have received the practical advantage of a tryout and have proved eminently successful.
 The occasion for the Norwich Light Up-Night was the celebration of Edi- son day. As we have intimated, one of the first things that was done to get the celebration under way was to interest the press. Announcements ap- peared in the daily papers and were promptly seconded by letters and cir thIdAE- I AS dCSOIus sslAlg HE NGAfo SliON the letter that was sent out and the prize offer announcement that WAS distributed. Read these as they con tain an epitome of the subject.
 The resulting celebration was far be- yond the most Sanguine expectations, and the papers gave the subject much space. The following are a. few lines selected almost at random from many columns of type;' they will, however, give an idea of the general run of comments:
 "The judges found their task not an easy one, and to their surprise the whole city seemed to be ablaze with light. Never before has the city been so well lighted by residents.
 That the central station load was doubled during the hours from to 9 on the night of the celebration is evil dence sufficient of the success of the enterprise.
 We sincerely hope that many other of our agents will adopt this excellent scheme of the Eaton Chase company and make Washington's Birthday Light Up-Night memorable in the an- nais of their respective cities.

With Judge William l.. Bennett pre- siding in the superior court at New London on Tuesday, the trial of the case of the town of Norwich against the town of Montville was before the court. The evidence was nearly all in by the time that court adjourned at 4.30 to continue the case the next morning at 10 o'clock. The town coun- sel, Attorney Joseph T. Tanning, ap- peared for the town of Norwich, and Attorney Charles w. Comstock was counsel for the town of Montville.
 The matter at issue concerns the taxation of land in MontVine that is part of the Stony Brook reservoir wa ter system of the town of Norwich. J. J. Corkery. superintendent of the water departm ent of Norwich, made out the list of the property to be taxed in MontVille in 1913, placing the acreage at SS3 acres and the price per acre at SIS. This valuation was raised 10 S25 per acre by the assessors of the town of Montville, and the board of relief of the town declined to make any change in the amount when the Nor wich board of water commissioners ap- piled for a reduction. Then the town of Norwich took an appeal from their decision

WILLIMANTIc cHINAMEN'S
 CASE IS CONTINUED
When Brought Before U- s. Commis-
 sioner in Hartford.

Chin Dung Wong and Lee Him, the Chinamen from WilliaInantic who were arrested on a charge of being unlaw- fully residents of the United States, were brought before United States Commissioner Richard F. Carroll for a hearing Tuesday afternoon at Hart ford, but on motion of the accused's counsel. Francis H. Parker of Hartford and Thomas J. Kelly of Willimantic, the hearing was continued until March 15 under the same bond, S1,00O in each case. No objection to a continuance was offered by District Attorney Frederick A. Scott. provided the case would surely be heard on that date.
 The charge practically means that the government agents believe these young Chinamen were smuggled into the United States after the Chinese exclusion act of 1892 went into effect. MT. Parker said the de- fense was that both of these men were born in San Francisco and were two and three years old respectively when the exclusion act went into effect. They had lived in several places in this country and it would take tine to get witnesses to prove it, and possibly dispositions would have to be taken.
