Strawberry leaf rollers: The larva
rolls the leaf and feeds upon it. Spray
the plants with lead arsenate and burn
the fields as soon as crop is harvested.
Strawberry flea beetles: The adults
eat holes through the leaves. Spray
the plants with lead arsenate before
the fruit is half mature.
Strawberry crown borers: The grub
tunnels and feeds in the crowns of the
plant. Practice crop rotation. Burn
over infected fields in fall.
White grubs: The larvae of June
beetles damage grass, corn, strawber-
ries and other plants by eating off the
roots. Practice fall blowing to expose
the insects, and harrow thoroughly be-

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

CBy II. 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 would not care
to make any recommendations In the
matter

SIX EMPHASIZES
 ON RESERVE LIST
Shortage of Men in Navy Becomes
 Real Menace

Washington, May 13.-To get off, thoughts, Nevada, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, Secretary Daniels has ordered that six battleships be placed in reserve with forty per cent. comple- ments. Alth ough several other req sons were assigned for the order, Rear Admiral Benson, chief of naval oper- ations, admitted that need of men for the new ships was the real one.
 The addition of three ships to the navy this spring, therefore, results in reducing the number of battleships in commission by three. When the Ari- zona is commissioned next fall it will probably be necessary to place other vessels in reserve to get a comple ment for her.
 %i, The six battleships put on the re- serve list are the Connecticut, Louis ianna, New Jersey, Virginia, Rhole Island and Nebraska. All are of the second line ,or pre-dreadnought type.
 Under the navy regulations vessels in reserve are required to be in read mess on two to four days notice There is. however, no way of placing the six battleships again in commission with out calling on the naval militia to make up the full complement.
 Admiral Benson said that the six battleships would be used for the nav al militia cruises this summer forty per cent. of the crew being regular navy. men and sixty per cent. militia. He added that they might be kept in reserve Indefinitely as a rendezvous for the militia in case of war.

Y, May 13.- The question of whether the Metho- dist Episcopal church shall recognize labor unions by the indorsement of the preferential employment of union Workmen was presented to the gener- al conference of the church again to- day. Debate was resumed upon the adVisability of adopting a report by the church social commission recom- mending such action.
 The proposal, which was intro duced yesterday, involves the aban- donment of the policy of the "open shop which has always prevailed to the publishing plants of the Methodist Book Concern.
 By a vote of 447 to 2SO the confer ence eliminated that part of the report of the commission on social service which declared that a preference should be given union labor in all matters affecting employment "in so far as it's methods are just and in so far as the rights of unorganized men are not infringed upon."

Mark was living in Hartford, on the
next block from Harriet Beecher
Stowe and her husband, Professor
Stowe.
One cold and blustery winter morn
ing, after an unusually heavy snow
storm, a neighbor, meeting Mark on
the street, slowly blowing his way
through the drifts, with a corn cob
pipe in his mouth, and a snow SHOW
el over his shoulder, asked him where
he was bound for.
ooh, just around the block-an er-
rand of mercy" drawled Mark, re-
moving the pipe from between his
teenth and pointing over his Shout
der with the stem of it. "Mrs. Stowe
has just telephoned me that Pro-
lessor Stowe is under the weather
this morning, and Pm on my way
around there to shovel him out"
