THE GRAPE BERRY WORM.
A New Vineyard Pest crsatins havs,
In Ohie.


A New Vineyard Pest crsatins Havse
In ohie.
Prepared by Ohio station.l
One Of the most serious pests Of the
grape industry In Ohio within recent
years Is the grape berry worm, small
insect that bores into the young grapes
and causes them to be worthless for
marketing. Entomologists at the Ohio
experiment station have been studying
this moth since 1905 In the Lake Erie
section and have just published In
bulletin 293 the results of their investi-
cations in controlling it
The two broods Of the moth are cas-
lily controlled by proper spray meas
ures. In some cases large vineyards
have been so infested with the insect
that the crops were not worth picking.
In others where the owners sprayed
the vines carefully less than / per cent
Of the crop was injured.
The first spray is applied when the
grapes are about one-eighth Of an inch
in diameter. Four pounds of arsenate
Of lead paste II used with the $3.50
formula Of bordeaux mixture and two
pounds Of dissolved soft soap as a
sticker. About six weeks later, on
Aug. to II. the same mixture is again
applied to kill the second brood. Hand
spraying Is preferable to machine APP
plication. The experiment station ex-
perts say that sprayings Mt other times
have failed to control the grape berry
worm In Ohio.

ABOUT Wells.


Most Of Us when we pick out q veil
choose one that we have admired on
some one else or the mesh most becom.
ing In the saleswoman as she holds II
up. regardless Of whether 1t suits US.
and let 1t go at that
Some women wear the prevailing
mesh Of the moment without a thought
Is to its becomingness. says veil ex-
pert Take the square or filiet mesh
recently worn. Despite its popularity.
there was never mesh that accentu-
ates wrinkles as 1t does. 1t gives most
faces hard line that makes many wo-
men look older than they really are
ION the other hand, the commonplace
hexagon in a large, fine mesh is per-
haps the most youthful OF ALL Despite
its cheapness. many well dressed wom-
en- find 1t so becoming and satisfactory
that they rarely wear anything else.
Most women can wear wide range
Of veilings, however, provided they
keep few general hints In mind For
instance. the woman with long, slen-
der face or sharply defined features
should avoid heavy meshes or large de-
signs or lines, for they accentuate the
features. Simple thin meshes with
small figures or designs have soften
ing effect that she viii find far more
becoming.
1T Is usually the woman with high
color that looks best In the more pro.
nounced Yelling. especially II her face
Is round and fun But then the woman
with a full round face can generally
wear anything.
I'm putting on a veil with large,
sprawly figures In the design care
should be taken In placing them ON the
veil can give to commonplace hat
nothing Is more disfguring than de
signs so placed across tke features that
they look like facial blemishes. Keep
the figures as far away as possible
from the eyes and II possible away
from the corners Of the mouth.
"In picking up veil to put on the
hat take it by the corners and after
shaking it to straighten it out place 1t
against the face ON the hat. Most peo-
pie then draw the veil back snugly and
tie 1t on the hat before pinning the
lower edges In place behind the ears.
"The way recommend is to hold the
veil over the hat as described before
the mirror and then as the first step
after getting the veil the correct length
at the chin. lightly pinning at the top
in the center Of the brim. Then pin the
lower edge snugly behind the ears with
a small invisible hairpin before even
gathering the ends together to tie the
knot. In this way you have the face
section perfectly adjusted before the
pull or strain of tying it In the back.
Being already held in place. lightly
tying the veil does not affect it, and
then. too. 1t eliminates that unsightly
pulled effect over the nose and eyes.
Wells should never be rolled, despite
the embroidered holders that come for
that purpose. Keep them fat. with as
few creases as possible. Never rumple
into tight little pinned wads. as have
seen otherwise fastidious women do.
ITO wash veil use lukewarm wa
ter and small amount OF CASTLE soap.
Lightly swish it about the soapy water
and rinse several times In lukewarm
water. Squeeze with great care and
lay out fiat to dry. pinned In shape like
a curtain on a curtain driving frame.~
