CHERRY LEAF
Recommendations for Control of
Periodical Pest.
Outbreak in 1915 Was by Far Worst
That Fruit Growers Have Yet
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Recon-.
mend Nicotine Sulphate.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The appearance in enormous num-
bers of the cherry leaf-beetle in the
spring of 1915 necessitated q study of
this insect, the results of which have
just been published by the department
in a professional paper. Bulletin No.
352, 1.-The Cherry Leaf-Beetle-A Peri
odically Important Insect Enemy of
Cherries" by r. A. Cushman and
Dwight IseIy. The 1915 outbreak was
by far the worst that fruit growers
have yet experienced. That year the
beetle proved destructive throughout
the greater part of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, and northern West Virginia, and
also in the northern part of lower
Michigan, where cherry growing is
very extensive. The entomologists
who studied the insect at that time
now recommend that for peach Or
chards nicotine sulphate be used, and
for cherry trees sweetened arsenate of
lead. These are the only two cultivat-
ed fruits that the beetle attacks. Sweet
cherry and plum are not in danger
and the thicker-leaved varieties of the
sour cherry are much less seriously
injured than the thin-leaved kinds.
The nicotine sulphate used in the
experiments consisted of q solution of
40 per cent nicotine sulphate, part to
600 parts of water to which was add
ed fsh-oil :oap at the rate of pounds
to SO gallons of liquid. This spray
does not cause the same injury to
peach foliage that is likely to follow
the use of strong mixtures of arsenate
of lead. 1t is. however, only tenn
porarily effective, and an application
one day does not prevent an invasion
of the orchard on the following day.
For cherry trees arsenate of lead
must be applied at rate of not less
than 5 pounds to so gallons of water.
The addition of molasses at the rate
of I1s gallons to 80 gallons of the
mixture makes the spray much more
effective, but, on the other hand, the
addition of this sweetening allows the
spray to be more easily washed off by
rains. In favorable weather, however,
the effect Of the spray is continuous
AS the beetles feed on the under
side of the leaves, care must be taken
to cover these with the poison spray
In some instances 1t may be necessary
to spray only young cherry trees or
older trees Of the thin-leaved varieties.

EXPERIMENTS WILDE MADE
State Will Demonstrate Needs in Max
ing Alfalfa a Success in
Outagamie County.

Appleton-Outagamie county's first
real experiments with alfalfa are to be
demonstrated at field meeting of the
county farm near Appleton late this
summer, according to announcements
by Supt. John Flanagan. All farm
ers in the county are asked to come
and look over the plots and take notes.
Talks will be given by representatives
of the field crops department. College
of Agriculture, Madison.
Mr.. Flanagan has taken great pains
to make the county farm serve the
people in the testing of varieties of
grains and forage crops that may pos
sibly fit local soil and climatic condi-
lions. He is trying to keep abreast of
the latest in agricultural thought and
practice.
Alfalfa and its culture, including
hints on incubation, lining, seed bed
treatment, seeding rates and harvest
ing, will be taken up strictly from the
local angle. Other legumes than al
falfa will be considered as well.

ORKNEY ISLANDS IN HISTORY
Christian of Denmark Put Them Up
for Security of Dowry When His
Daughter Married James Ill.

No other territory in the British en-
pire has a more tragic significance to
Englishmen today than the Orkney is
lands, off whose shores the most dis
tinguished victim of the world war,
Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the
cruiser Hampshire was sunk.
These islands, 80 in number, of
which only 80 are inhabited, are sep
arated from the mainland of Scotland
by the Pentland Firth, from six and a
half to eight miles wide. They were
selected as England's North sea naval
base not only on account of their
proximity to the field of operations,
but on account of their semi-isolation
and the advantage of the superb har-
Dor of StromnesS, in the largest island
of the group, Pomona, which has an
area of 200 square miles.
While the original inhabitants of
the islands were Picts, whose round
towers and chambered mounds are
among the interesting ruins OF this re-
gion, the Morse pirates secured a
1OOliiOiu ASl ( uuIlAIS llAC CetAA
of the Christian era, and carried on
TIER depredations against all naviga-
tors of the North sea. In the last
quarter of the ninth century Harold
haarfagr put an end to the rule of
the pirates and added both the DIRK
neys and the Shetland islands to Nor
ways domain. In 146S the Orkneys
came under the sway of the Scottish
crown, Christian / of Denmark giving
them as security for his daughters
dowry when she became the bride
of James Ill. AS the dowry was never
paid the islands have remained part
of Scotland's domain ever since.
The Orkneys, which are the Orcades
of classic literature, furnished the set
ting for many of the episodes in Sir
Walter Scott's novel, 1.-THE Pirate" the
character of that romance being John
Cow, the notorious freebooter born In
Stromness and captured off the is
lands in 1925. Another literary as
socfation of the Orkneys and one of
especial interest to Americans centers
in Shapinshay, the birthplace of VIII
liam Irving, father of Washington Irv-
ing.

OVER 10000 In LINE
MANY MILWAUkEEANS MARCH IN
PREPAREDNESS PARADE.
Patriotism Is Shown BY Throngs
Along Line of Professionalism
ernor Views Parade in Rain.

Misunderstanding in a drilling
rain, 30,187 persons marched down
Grand avenue and Wisconsin street
for the cause of preparedness. The
parade required three hours and thir-
ty minutes from the time of starting
until the finish
In the face of storm clouds, despite
intermittent showers, a mighty host of
citizens swept along Grand avenue, a
striking symbol of hope and determi-
nation-hope for peace but determine
ton, if war comes it will find America
ready.
Tens of thousands formed human
avenues through which the pageant
passed. Thousands of others viewed
the spectacle from Office windows,
from balconies, from temporary
bleachers.
From the governor of the state to
the most humble citizen, Milwaukee
patriots felt thrill that was too deep
to find expression in cheers and any
great outward show of enthusiasm.
Gov. E. L. Philip, unmindful of the
rain, stood out in the parkway at
Tenth street and Grand avenue. AS
each division swept by he saluted the
flag. Standing out in the rain, his
head barred, his face wreathed in a
happy smile that gave way to seri-
Gus expression as civil war veterans,
gray haired, faltering in step, passed
in review, the governor was the chief
object of interest on upper Grand ave
nue..
The Pfster-Vogel Leather company
marched the greatest number of peo-
pie for the cause, their total number
being 1,186. The company was pre-
scented with the silver cup awarded
by a local jewelry firm. The second
largest division was that of the Mil
waukee Electric Railway and Light
company, The Milwaukee department
stores were represented by 1899 en-
ployes in the huge procession. One
third of the marchers in the parade
were women.
