JOHNNY DOBbS HAS READY FOR
 START OF SEASON
With One Exception Pelican Line-Up Is Complete and Entire Roster Is in
 Good Condition

A month of training has rounded the form. At least, scribes from New Or leans are unanimous in the belief that Johnny Dobbs is about ready to stand pat for the 1916 season. With one excep- tion it is believed that Dobbs is ready to announce his lineup unless something unforeseen happens.
 Dobbs is still dckering for the services of Fred Thomas, the slugging third sacker for the Pels last sea son, and who Is get ting a try-out with the Cleveland Indians this season. Thomas is showing up good on third for Lee Foh, but his weight is Indians to send Freddie back to the minors Dobbs has a well balanced team and 1t is one that must tbe counted on as in the running for the rag. Colonel Cluke in the New Orleans Daily States predicts the following lineup or roster campaign:
 With the possible exception of Freddie Thomas, speed marvel of last year crowd ing Larry PeZold off the Pelican roster, J. Dobbs has his 1916 prospects all set for the Southern League campaign.

Bdrons in Poor Shape For
 Game With Central High
Sore Arms Numerous in Baron CampGame Starts at 330
 This Afternoon-Centra Nine in Good Trim

1 Manager Carlton Molesworth will stack his Barcns against the Central High school baseball outfit at Redwood Field this afternoon in the second practice and exhibition game of the season. The game
 will start at S:3o o'clock and although
 the result is already tabulated, Moley expects to derive plenty of practice out of the tilt.
 The Barons will enter the game in a sad shape. Practically every member of the team is suffering from sore wing
 and especially Danny Clark and Red Smith, Fred Derrick, Bill Lindsay and Caton are also under the handicap of heavng with a lame wing, but practice was held yesterday and a small amount of the general soreness routed from the camp.
 Moey put his squad through a stiff
 workout. In the morning, fielding and
 batting practice was held. Moley first
 gave the yannigans their practice and later the regulars. A run around the park completed the workout In the af ternoon the yannigans and regulars met in their second encounter with the vic tory going to the latter.
 REGULARS WORK WELL The regulars, composed of Lindsay, Ca ton Clark and Derrick on the infield; Hartle, Singleton and Coombs in the out l field, with Smith and Jordan behind the bat worked well. The yannigans found
 better opposition in the regulars than
 they did on Saturday when they secured a tie. The game went for nine innings
 and Moley was thoroughly satisfied with
 the results obtained
 In the game this afternoon Moley will send his lone southpaw to face the Gen.
 tral boys. Karl Black will get his first
 try-put on the mound, while Elmer Pom
 der will also be given try. The regu-
 lars will be used to start the game with Werner Hauser and King in reserve.
 Practically the entire roster, with excep- tion of the rockies, will be given a try
 unless the Barons are pressed too closely
 Central will start the game in good
 shape. Coach Pritchard will send his two star twirlers against the Barons. Har-
 rell will probably start the fracas and
 pitch about half of the game. Rives, a southpaw, will finish the game. Central is in good form following the three-game
 series with Marion Institute, and a day
 of hard practice. Although Coach Pritch-

PROBABLE ROSTER

AS the Pels now stand, it is most likely the club Dobbsy will take to the post Tor the regular season will be:
 Five pitchers, according to semiofficial Information from Pelican. headquarters will be carried through the 140-game bat tie, leaving Roberts, Dillingcr and Gudger for trading and farming purposes.
 The hurling staff looks like one of the most formidable that any club will as semble, and the tip is that Dobbs figures Iron Man" Higgins will have no trouble looking after the backstopping end.
 In every respect, the Pe'cans are well against accidents, for with Miller availa- ble for emergency work in any of the intield jobs, it looks ss though the club is going to be hard to beat. Although neither Dobbs nor Heinemann have turned loose official announcement that the Pel lineup is virtunally complete, it is only question of a week or 10 days before number of players will be shipped out to leagues of lower classification.
 ALL IN GOOD SHAPE
 Only one player Brenton and Kissinger excepted is not quite ready to play a game of ball. Sylvester is the man over weight and with Dobbs trailing Lee Fohl in the way of training Larry Chappelle- running "Syl' in the outfied for several hours day, it is almost certain he will be down to the required poundage when the gong sounds.
 Regarding the probability of Thomas being left here by the Cleveland club, Dobbs says he doesn't know exactly what Lee Fohl is going to recommend to Dunn-McRoy X Co. owners of the club. Freddie, however, is said to be trifle too light for major league service, although neither Howard nor Evans who have sup planted him at the difficult corner, out class the ex-Pel to any great extent. The club is virtually shaped for the season and although Dobbs will have to depend upon 1S men to get by with, it seems the bakers dozen lined up, are capable enough to make creditabe showing, if not repeat by capturing the pennant

But he cannot do it because the form
OF nervous exhaustion known as neuras-

symptom, must be cured by the patient
himself. That is why you should write

cultivated flowers, onion leaves and SOIL.
In captivity they relished diluted black
strap molasses, and they fed upon this
sweetened liquid until their abdomens
became greatly distended. If this insect
is attracted to diluted molasses under nat
ural conditions, the greediness of the flies
for this sweet when poisoned, would be
the weak point in the life history to at
tack the pest. If this poisoned bait be
applied in the form Of a spray to the
onion leaves when the adults first appear
on the wing and if they were to feed upon
the insecticide no doubt large numbers
would be killed before the egg laying
period commences.
I'm our field work. the first application
of the spray was given to the onion
leaves to control the second brood of
flies on July TO- 1913. The poisoned bait
was applied with a hand pump provided
with "a vermorel nozzle. The minute
droplets of the spray adhered to the waxy
coating of the onion leaves without
"sticker' being added to the poisoned
diluted molasses. After half an onion
field was baited we were convinced that
thorough spraying was not necessary, as
there was no question of doubt that the
diluted mOldSSeS clearly dttTdCtcu tiiS
pest In the sprayed portion of the onion
field, numerous flies were seen on the
onion leaves feeding on the minute drop
let's of this insecticide until their abdo-
mems became greatly distended. but in
the unsprayed part of the onion field,
rarely was an onion fly seen exposed to
the sunshine on the tops of the onion
leaves The following formula was used
in this experiment:
Moasses, 4 pint
Sodium arsenite dissolved in
boiling water) a ounce
Water, l gallon
AS the formula suggested might cause
leaf injury, and as it is reported to be an
attractive bait, it might be applied to
some inert matter between the onion
rows as chip litter or bits of cheap cheese
cloth.
The onion fly is said to pass the winter
in any stage but the egg stage, thus hi
bernating adults are on hand for the
young onions when they first break
ground. 1t will be seen from this that
the first application should be made be-
fore the onions break ground. 1t should
probably be repeated once a week or
oftener if rains occur to wash it off.
The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station has no data on the results of
such treatment. Any onion grower wish
ing to make the experimental spraying
and reporting results would add to the
present knowledge of this subject.

Orono, Me-, May 2s.-(SpeciaD The fol-
lowing. issued by the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station at the University Of
Maine, has been made public by Charles
D. Woods, the director:
Many appeals come to the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station for advice
in regard to the onion maggot which
causes serious damage in this State.
No experimental work has been done in
Maine with this insect so that definite
information based on local conditions is
not available. Doctor H. P. SEVERN, how
ever, who for two years conducted work
with poison bait sprays for the apple and
currant fruit flies in Maine. did some
spraying in Wisconsin for the fly which
is parent of the onion maggot. The fol-
lowing paragra phs are in the main eX-
tracts from his report which appeared in
the Journal of Economic Entomology,
June, 1915. They are offered here for such
onion growers of Maine who may care to
continue the experiment with the under
standing that it is I. suggested treatment
worthy of trial, but not yet a thoroughly
tested remedy.
I'm the process of exposition the onion
fly usually endeavors to force it's outpost
tor between the onion stem and the
ground, but when the earth is tightly
crusted against the plant, the egg-layins
organ is unable to penetrate the hardened
soil. The female fly may then oviposit in
crevice near the onion stem, or if a
small crack is not available, the pest will
sometimes crawl in holes or under Jumps
of dirt an inch or two from the onion
plant to deposit it's eggs.
1.-The number of eggs which are laid at
one deposition may vary from one to Is.
Under field conditions the incubation
period of eggs deposited by the first brood
of flies in early June varied from three to
four days. The larval period was COM
pleted in two to three weeks in green
onions, onion-sets and small seeded
onions, but in seeded onions from the
previous year, the development of the
maggots was often prolonged and, in
some instances, required from four to five
weeks. The pupal period under field con-
ditions required from nine to 16 days dur
ing the latter part Of June and early
July, the majority of the second brood of
flies emerging in II, II and 13 days.
1.-The period of emergence Of the second
brood of onion flies under field conditions
extended from June Is to July %, most of
the flies issuing from July 1 to r.
Under natural conditions the onion
flies were observed feeding on wild and
