ARSENATE OF LEAD
FOR POTATO PLANT
Material Might Be Used as Spray
for Tubers-Arsenate of
Lime Found Efficient.

(By H. F. WILSON, Entomologist, Uni
versity of wisconsin,
Arsenate of lead might be used in
place of paris green as a spray mate
rial for potatoes. However, this ma
terial is also very high just now, and
would probably not do away with the
difficulty.
Another material, arsenate of lime,
has been found to be as efficient as
arsenate of lead, and this material
can be produced much cheaper than
arsenate of lead.
We have not, however, tested this
material in Wisconsin, and under the
present conditions l would not care
to make any recommendations in the
matter.

CONTROL DISEASE OF
CELERY In SUMMER
Pennsylvania Experiment Station
Advises Keeping Plants Coated
With Bordeaux Mixture.

Plants may develop this disease in
the seeded and it is most prevalent in
early summer. To control the dis
ease the Pennsylvania State college
agricultural experiment station advises
keeping the young plants coated with
a 4-4-50 bordeaux mixture.
Later the nonstaining ammoniacal
copper carbonate solution should be
used. Well-drained, half-shaded fields
seem to suffer less than others.

on the banks of the Hudson river
near West Point, centered search
today for the body of Dorothy Arnold,
missing New York heiress whose dis
appearance five years ago has FUR

of Europe and America.

regarding the possible house of death.

the cellar had been dug up when he

place last night. They failed to find
a body. but the search has not been
abandoned. On the other hand, the in
formation gained, lead Faurot and his
assistants to think that Glennorris
must have had some part in the
crime in the section he has been able
to describe so minutely. Whether he
was actually party to the burial OF
Dorothy Arnold or not, Faurot is not
ready to concede, but he now believes
the convict's confession and the old

Thus far there has been no notice

Germany since the situation became
critical. Several Americans now in

pending the outcome of the present

There are now about 700 Americans
in Germany. Since the Lusitania
crisis last May, all have been in close
touch with their consulates at the
suggestion of Consul General Lay at
Berlin. Those wishing to ,eave Ger

the German-American situation has
subsided noticeably since the first

yield at once or will maneuver mat
ters in such a manner as to prevent
an early break.

wife whom he Kidnaped from her

Anzeiger Predicts Agreement.

BERLIN, April 22.-American Off
cials here today were confronted with
the problem of what to do with Amer
leans arriving In Berlin from interior
cities of Germany because of reports
that Germany and the United States
are on the verge of break.
United States Consul General Lay
held long conference with Ambas-
sador Gerard on this subject this
morning. Gerard said he had received
no instructions from Washington re-
garding the 700 Americans now in
Germany.
The Berlin Lokal AnZeiger, influen-
tial liberal newspaper which claims
the largest circulation in Germany,
today expressed the view that salts
factory settlement of the pending
controversy is possible despite pessi-
mistic reports. The Lokal Anzeiger
has not thus far examined the text of
President Wilson's latest note.

foes in the weakest spot" said the
Lokal AnZeiger.
Nevertheless, we want peace with
the great people across the water,

States should be possible, even across

Among these questions is just what
the attitude of Carranza towards
Americans is. Since the Parral Incl
dent, when American soldiers were
fired on by Carranza soldiers who at
tempted an ambush, reports continue
to come in of increasing mobilization
of Carranzistas at points south of
Parral
American officers have been
warned by Carranzista officials that
Parral is the dead line. Whether
these Carranzista officers and men
are acting under orders from Car

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 22-
Following salute of thirteen guns
formally welcoming Chief Of Staff
Hugh L. Scott to headquarters today,
secret orders were rushed down the
line of communications to the COM
manders of the expedition in Mexico.
Scott's presence was the signal for
renewed activity in headquarters, fol-
lowing the temporary lu1l and impor-
tant moves were believed to be un-
der way as a result of dispatches sent
out by General Funston. Funston did
not announce whether Scott had
agreed to a change of the line of
communications which the division
commander suggested several days
ago.
The present line, however, has
been tightened by the placing OF ad-
ditional men along the route between
Columbus and Namiquipa. A practi-
cal interlocking sentry system along
the line. has been ordered by Gener-
al Pershing, it was stated. Funston
was not certain whether Pershing's
men are entrenched along the line,
but stated Pershing Is taking no
chances"
Additional troops, part Of the 1900
extra men being sent into Mexico,
will be assembled at Columbus by
Monday Funston stated, and will be
ready to move into Mexico in few
days.
