Chinch Bugs Damage st. Augustine
Grass.

Chinch bugs have damaged St. Au-
gustine grass so much in some sec
tions that people are abandoning it
as a lawn grass. The damage which
this pest causes amounts to thouS-
ands of dollars annually. In some
parts of the state large areas have
been wiped out in comparatively
short periods. St. Augustine grass
is one of the most valuable lawn
grasses for Florida because it stays
green the whole year, but 1t cannot
withstand chinch bugs.
Control of these insects Is cheap
and easily effected by the use Of con-
tact insecticides. In a recent letter
70 a county agent. r. \. Wilson, OF
the United States Bureau Of Ento-
nlo,oGv. gives the following methods
of control: Spray or sprinkle the at-
fected areas with a mixture of l part
tobacco solution containing 40 per-
cent nicotine and 500 parts water. A
little soap should be added as
snreader. Common laundry or fish
oil soap, l pound to 1 gallons OF Wa
ter, also will control the insects.
Either Of these mixtures may be
apnlied with an ordinary Sprlnklmg or
watering pot or with 4 sprayer. The
most important recommendation Is
that the mixture be applied thorough.

Speeder Injuries Own Mind.

More arrests for speed! Good! The
police are getting their hands in
that is the useful ones are. Let the
good work go on, remarks the Ohio
State Journal. 1t is not against any
class of people that the law is en-
forced, but it is for the whole people
and especially for the motorists them
selves. There is no need to go so
fast. A speeder is hurting himself, his
mind, his body, his car and everybody
along the street. There is nothing
gained by all the rattle-de-bang hurry,
and If it was examined into, it would
be found that no speeder had the
slightest excuse for his hurry. The
solid, thoughtful, successful men of a
community don't speed. They know
that they save by not being in hur-
ry.
The whole people are interested in
suppressing the speeder. He is poor
citizen, not only because he violates
the law, but because speed weakens
the mind and Injuries the judgment.
What sort of voter does a violator
of the law make? How much cool
judgment is left in a mans mind after
making a rushing speed of 80 or 40
miles an hour? Not particle.

| rietieS themselves often require spe-
cial methods to obtain the best results.
OF the many styles of pruning and
training, a few will be mentioned
here:
Four-cane Kniffin System.
On the trunk of the vine at the
lower wire of twO-wire trellis, about
80 inches from the ground, two canes
and two spurs are left Of last years
growth, and two more canes and spurs
are left at the top wire, about SO
inches from the ground. These canes,
which are tied to the wire on each
side of the vine, produce fruiting
shoots which are allowed to hang
down or droop.
This system is named after William
Kniffin, who first employed it. 1t has
been extensively used along the Hud-
son river and elsewhere, and is said
to be especially adapted to strong
growing varieties. Vines trained by
this system are easily and quickly
pruned and require only limited
amount of labor in the growing season.
Umbrella or TWo-Cane kniffn System.
A system very generally used in the
training Of American vines, known as
the umbrella or twO-cane Kniflin sys-
TEN, differs from the foregoing in
that no canes or spurs are left at the
lower wire, the trunk of the vine ex-'
tending directly to the top wire, where
the growth is annually cut back to
two canes and two spurs, one on each
side, which are fastened to the top
wire. 1t is best to tie the trunk to
both the upper and lower wires to
prevent violent whipping of the hang
ing shoots. Some growers dispense
with the lower wire.
This system is thought by many
growers to be an Improvement on the

wonderful vision. He found himself
in a modern city street, with the motor
cars honking all around him and hold

eled closely on existing batteries in
the European war, combined with the
experiences gained in the National
Guard maneuvers of last fall in the
Plattsburg camp.
Although so far only ten cars have
been placed in actual service, it is the
intention of adding others as soon as
sufficient men can be enlisted for their
operation. Seventy-five motorcycles
are now ready for use in connection
with the cars, the whole force being
under the command of Capt. Harry G.
Montgomery, who has been the most
active worker in connection with the
organization of this battery.
The chassis are the standard types
and makes of trucks, which have
given such excellent service in maneu-
vers, and in actual war service. The
bodies, however, are manufactured
especially for this work.

Speed of a Stock Car.

| How fast should a stock car, in the
hands of the average driver, be? This
question has been brought up; the an.
swer is invariable.
Speed" says Harry Stutz, the man
who brought the worlds championship

of race car. Its prime essential is
stamina, and no car can have too much
stamina. Speed is matter of valve
lift, carburetion and gear ratio. 1t is
not the difficult thing to obtain.
"Any motorcar in the hands of any
body should have the power to ac-
celerate quickly, as safety factor
If for no other reason. This, in a way,
suppose might be called speed.
should say also that man or woman
is much more secure in car which is
agile and quick than car of the
old sluggish type. There are times
when quick getaway means security,
and there are times when slowness
spells mishap.
"The average driver will never drive
a car faster than the road or street
conditions warrant, no matter how
fast his mount may be. So, what harm
can there be in putting enough scien-
tifically distributed power into
chassis? We all like to know that the
car we are driving is capable Of brisk
ness If the need ever arises. 1t is
sort of preparedness feature that ought
to be built into every car-purely as
a precaution."

Big Tire Trade Abroad.

During the II months ending June

the United States exported tires to the
value of $1S,0O0,0O0, states an official

exported during the preceding year,
and shows that the business in Ameri-
can tires abroad has been placed upon
