is in we'll grown orchard. There the
chicks have shade from the hot noon

II there is no natural shade, coops
placed between rows of sunfowers will
provide the chicks shade. Sunfowers
grow rapidly, provide good shade and
the seeds make good winter food for
the poultry. However. if one cannot
plant sunf!owers and there is no shade
for the chickens. muslin or old burlap
stretched over high poles will provide
shade. Anything that will cast a

Washington Administration Thought
will Yield to Carranld'S Views

Washington, d. General Car
ranza's counter proposal to the Pan
American diplomats for conference
with him over international phases Of
the Mexican problem probably will be
approved, according to opinion ex-
pressed here by officials in touch with
the administration.
Although Carranza refused to yield
to the appeal of Secretary Lansing and
representatives of six Latin-American
republics that he join his adversaries
in peace conference, it was pointed
out here that military conditions in
Mexico had undergone marked changes
in the last few weeks, and in some
quarters it was contended that Car
ranzsa's claims for recognition were
entitled to investigation.
Since the Pan-American appeal was
issued, Carranza's armies have pressed
pacification of territory in Central and
Northern Mexico, while some reports
to the State department have declared
that General Villas forces are disin-
tegrating. From authoritative
sources advices have reached Washing
ton that it would be difficult to con-
duct convention to select a provis-
ional government in Mexico without
the participation of Carranza and his
military commanders, who assert now
that they control nearly all Mexican
territory,

River and HarbG Bill Likely to
Face Broadaxe in Next Congress

Washington, d. C.-River and har-
Dor legislation at the next session Of
congress will be compelled to take a
place of secondary Importance, in the
opinion Of Representative Sparkman,
chairman of the river and harbor COM
mittee, who passed through Washing
ton recently.
81 presume" he said, "that our
bill may have to make way for more
pressing legislation at the coming ses-
sion. If President Wilson recon-
mends national defense legislation,
with its necessary large appropria-
tions, we may be able only to provide
for river and harbor projects already
under way. Projects contemplated,
but not yet authorized. undoubtedly
will be undertaken some time, but
expect the river and harbor bill of
next session will have to be held down
because of more pressing legislation
urged by the President.
Mr.. Sparkman was inclined to be-
lieve bill of reasonable size could be
passed to continue work on projects
now under way, such as the Columbia
river, Willamette and other authorized
projects in the Northwest, but he
thinks there is little chance whatever
for adoption of new projects, of which
the Pacific Northwest will have sew
eral to propose.

AUSTRIAN DIPLOMAT ADMITS
PLANNING STRIkE IN U. S.

R Washington, d. C.-Secretary Lam
sing has granted an interview at the
State department to DR.. Constantin
Theodor Dumba, the Hungarian
ambassador, who desires to discuss his
admission to newspaper reporters that
he has taken part In movement to
interfere with the production Of war
materials in the United States.
Ambassador Dumba's request for a
conference reached Mr.. Lansing late
Tuesday. 1t is understood here that
he wishes to make an explanation re-
garding dispatches sent by him to the
foreign Office at Vienna and seized by
British authorities from James F. J..
Archibald, an American war CORES
pondent, who was acting as messen-
ger.
These dispatches, which are said TO
reveal that the ambassador suggested
plans for handicapping munitions
plants and had undertaken to warn
Austro- Hungarian subjects that they
were violating the criminal code Of
their native land by accepting employ
ment in American establishments
making war supplies for the allies, are
declared to have raised a subject for
which there is no precedent in Ameri-
can diplomacy.
The question of dual citizenship,
long disputed between this govern
ment and several European powers, is
involved, and because of this the mat
ter will be approached when Ambas-
sador Dumba arrives, without preju-
dice.
Officials doubt that there has been
any violation of law.
As to whether there has been a
breach of diplomatic propriety or in
ternational ethics, Secretary Lansing
must DECIDE after he has heard the
Austrian ambassador statement.
Copies Of papers taken from Archi-
bald in London have been forwarded to
the State department by Ambassador
Page. They had not reached here
Monday night, but it was understood
that DIR. Dumba would take copies
with him when he called at the State
department.

chance Of maturing within year or
two. when 1t will deposit eggs in a
half dozen or more nearby trees. caus-
ing thereby a continued and an In
creaEed infestation in that particular
orchard.
The importance Of the following
points should be kept In mind by all
persons who practice this method of
borer control:
l. Borers should be removed from
the trees as soon as possible after.
Matching.
2. Every borer in the orchard should
be found and destroyed.
3. Borers should not be allowed to
breed In cultivated or wild host trees
growing within at least 200 or 800
feet OF the orchard.
Paint Acts az Preventive.
In addition to worming. as this
process is called. paint Ia often used
to prevent the beetles laying their
eggs. Pure white lead and raw lin
seed oil, mixed rather thick, will not
injure the trees, and when applied to-
young. smooth bark, will form q pro-
tective coat during the egg-laying sea-
son. It Is probable that this is more
effective method than wrapping the
trees with building paper. cotton bat,
ting. cloth or other materials some
times used for this purpose. Before
painting, however, the earth should be-
removed from the base of the tree for
depth Of from three to four inches.I
The surface of the trunk thus exposed
should be first scraped and painted
and the earth then replaced. This is
necessary. for the beetle occasionally
lays her eggs under instead Of above
the ground.
AS the insect in It's borer stage lives
and feeds under the bark, insecticide
sprays cannot be used successfully
against 1t. When the borer hiss
reached the adult stage 1t feeds more
or less on the exposed surface Of
leaves and twigs and on the moisture
contained in the fresh castings thrown
out by borers still working in the
trees. Arsenate Of lead sprayed on
trees on which they are feeding would
kill many Of the adult beetles, but 1t Is
doubtful If it would pay ordinarily to
spray for the purpose of killing this
insect alone, except in the case of a
badly infested orchard.

Salem --- In an effort to curtail fire
losses Harvey Wells, state insurance
commissioner, has issued bulletin
giving the various origins Of fire and
means Of prevention.
Mr.. Wells urges that the way 10 OBJ.
tain cheap insurance 10 to stop the
enormous fire losses. Now the non.
burning, careful business man, he
says, pays for the careless, Indifferent,
reckless builder and occupant. He de-
clares:
"The fire loss in Oregon, most Of
which may be termed fire waste, il
greater In proportion to the population
than In most states. In 1914 the
value Of property destroyed Is esti-
mated at more than $4,000,000, and
the insurance companies paid $2,736,-
900 Of that amount"
The commissioner insists that the
state should enact fire marshal law,
and that there should be fre-preven-
tion associations in all communities.
The duties Of these organizations, he
says, should be TO create sentiment for
solid buildings, clean premises, fire
prevention laws, and ordinances gov
erning fues, electric wiring, etc.

ments in the cities to attack fires, "

we have built and organized these de-
partments to their maximum strength
and efficiency, what 10 our next step

Why should we not have department
known as Fire Preventers' 2"
Mr.. Wells estimates that 81, 900, 900
OF property is destroyed and 500 lives
lost yearly through the careless use of
matches. Rubbish and ashes are CIV
en- as other cuases of fires. Careful
use of matches, kerosene, the cleaning
of cellars. closets and attics are urged
as means Of fire prevention.
The bulletin is filled with useful in
formation regarding the preventing
and extinguishing Of fires, and Mr..
Wells will give 1t as wide distribution
as possible.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The roundheaded apple-tree borer,
the most destructive of number oil
similar pests, causes much damage
to apple orchards In the eastern half
of the United States, 1t does not
oonfine its destructive methods solely
to apple trees. but feeds on other
fruit trees, as well as service. wild
crab and mountain ash, which makes
1t advisable to cut out these latter
varieties for a distance of at least a
hundred yards from the orchard.
The presence of the borers is easily
detected. Sawdustlike castings of a
reddish color are thrown out through
small holes In the bark as the borers
feed Heaps of these castings found
at the base of apple, pear or ounce
trees are always an evidence that the
trees need immediate attention. Fre-
quently an examination of an orchard
induced by finding one tree with cast
ings at the base will reveal the fact
that many trees are affected and that
serious injury has already been done.
Ordinarily the parent beetle lives
about 40 or so days. 1t is about three
fourths of an inch in length, light
brown In color above, with two broad
white bands joined in front, extending
the full length of the back; the un-
derparts and front of the head are
white. The females rarely fly any
considerable distance, SO that II the
immediate vicinity Of an orchard can
be kept free from them. there is little
danger of a serious infestation.
Worming to Be Thoroughly Done.
The most common method aof rid
ding an orchard of these pests is to
cut away the bark sufficiently to trace
the burrows made by the borer. A
hooked wire is then inserted into the
burrow and the insect pulled out. If
made with care, the wound in the tree
caused by this process will heal
readily. The castings at the base of
the tree serve as an indication of the
presence of the borers. Where the
burrows are curved or obstructed in
some way so that the wire cannot be
inserted, cotton batting dipped in car
bon bisulphid should be inserted and
the hole then plugged with moist
earth. Tho gas from the carbon BIZ
sulphid will penetrate all parts of the
burrow and kill the borer. In extern
sive orchards where worming is done
on a large scale by promiscuous labor
some OF the helpers are likely to be-
come careless and overlook or neglect
to destroy an occasional borer. Every
female SO overlooked stands a good

WILL ASK SAFE CONDUCT FOR AGENT
Act Of Embassy Believed Will Show
Genuine Desire Of Teutons for
Friendship Of Uncle Sam.

Washington, d. c. - These highly
important developments took place
Monday in connection with the events
consequent upon the revelations in the
Dumba case:
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, will call on Secretary
Lansing and will intimate that Cap
tain Franz Won Papen, German mill
tary attache, will be sent home, If Q
safe conduct for him can be obtained
from the British government.
Ambassador Penfield has cabled his
personal impression that Austria.
Hungary will comply with the Ameri'
can request for the recall Of DR.. Dunn
ba, leaving her interests here In
charge Of the counsellor Of the EN-.
bassy.
Count Won Bernstorff will explain
the exact connection Of Captain vor
Papen with the Dumba strike plans.
There is no question that the ambassa.
dor feels that members Of his staff
should have no connection with strikes
or the creation Of disorders in indus.
trial factories. He does hold, how
ever, that Germany, as well as Aus
tria- Hungary, has the right to war;
her subjects that employment in fac
tories making munitions for the allies
is crime against the laws of Their
country and that if they should return
home they will be punished.
Germany, it is pointed out in Ger
man circles, had the right to call home
all reservists in the United States.
She was unable to exercise this right
because Of the British command of the
sea and they have been forced to re-
main in this country. The right to
tell these men that they must not work
for the allies the German ambassador
holds to be as sound as the right to tell
them to return to fight.
However, it is apparent that the
ambassador has no intention to make
an issue in respect to Captain Won Pa
pen. If this government will obtain
a safe conduct for the officer he will
be ordered to Berlin. Such action
would obviate demand for his recall.
It would do more. 1t would show con-
clusively the desire of Germany to re-
main in friendly relations with this
country. 1t would also mean that the
Dumba incident with Austria Hungary
will, in the end, be adjusted satisfac-
torily to the United States.
