FOR SPRAYING APPLE TREES
SuIphur-App!y fer Cooling Moth
About August First.

The best formulas for spraying ap-
pie trees and any other fruit trees ex-
cept the peach. is concentrated lime
sulphur at the strength of one to forty
for apples and one to fifty for the other
fruits, and two and Il half pounds Of
arsenate Of lead. The first spraying
should be made just as the pink of the
blossom shows. This should he fol-
lowed by another application as the
blossom petals r dropping. In about
two weeks the trees should be sprayed
again, and winter varieties of apples
should have another application for
the second brood of codling moth
about the first of August.
All fruit trees except the peach
should receive the first three applica-
tons. Plums should receive d spray
ing after that mt intervals Of two
weeks, until within about Il month Of
ripening time. No fruit should be
sprayed within a month Of ripening
time, because sufficient time should be
allowed for the removal Of all traces
Of the spray material by the weather
before the fruit is harvested.

FINE FLAVOR OF VEGETABLES
improved or impaired by Fertilizers
Empioyed-Too Much Nitrogen
Makes Strawberry Soft.

Aside from considerations of mellow
soil and sufficient moisture, the flavor
and other qualities of vegetables are
improved or impaired by the fertilizers
employed. The peculiar processes with
in the soil or within the plant itself
flavor are difficult to understand, but
It is a fact that varieties of fruits and
vegetables will show such improvement
under favorable conditions Of fertiliza-
ton as hardly to be recognized.
Hog manure used alone sometimes
gives an unpleasant flavor to celery
and root crops. 1t also taints tobacco.
An excess of phosphates helps to give
tomatoes q Sweeter flavor. Salt is
very helpful to the quality of aspara-
gus, onions and celery. 1t makes the
potash in the soil active. 1t is used
at the rate Of 200 pounds to the acre.

divisions of Bavarians effected the
recapture after series Of furious at

This success of the Germans fol.

of a portion of the village of Cumi-
eres, east of Dead Mans hill. The
fighting at this point developed into
hand-to-hand struggle. The French
were faced by more than three di-
visions here.
Ten thousand men have gone down
to slaughter in what is rapidly becom-
ing the bloodiest engagement of the

From Dead Mans Hill eastward to
the ruins of Fort Douaumont the most

PRESIDENT WOULD AID ALL
America Will Not Plead Cause of Any
Single BeIiserent, but Will. Serve
Best Interests of All
Nations.
PRESIDENT WOULD AID ALL

Washington, May PA resolution
requesting the president, unless in
compatible with the public interest,
to suggest to warning nations of Eu-
rope that the United States undertake
mediation was introduced into the SEN
ate on Thursday by Senator Lewis of
Illinois, to lie on the table for discus
sion later.
The resolution would authorize the
president to propose that the bellig-
erents declare truce and that each
of them select neutral country as
it's representative on a board of ar
bitration thus created:
Each selected neutral would name
one member of the board, over which
the president or his representative
would preside as referee. Under the
plan each belligerent would present
it's demands or claims to the board.
which would be authorized to arrive
at an equitable adjustment.
The resolution recites that it is sug-
gested as an expression of the desire
for any of the belligerents.
President Wilson told callers that
the Intervention of a neutral in be-
half of peace in Europe could rest only
on a mutual understanding by the bel
ligerents that terms to be arranged
are to conserve the interests of all.
and of the world at large, rather than
those of a particular nation or group
of nations among the warning powers.
Mr.. Wilson gave the impression that
he would make peace suggestions only
when the conditions he outlined were
likely of fulfillment.

wireless dispatch from the United
States giving the substance Of Presi-
dent Wilson's speech at Charlotte, N.
c., in which he referred tc the posi-
bility of American mediation, is given
the place of honor in the morning pa
pers. Their comments, together with
the wide interest shown by the Ger
man public, show how important this
news is regarded here.
Though definitely stated nowhere,
there is little doubt that Germany is
willing to consider a tender of good
Offices to inaugurate peace negotia-
lions. The former attitude that Amer
lea had disqualified itself as a peace
mediator on account of munition ship
ments to the allies has now changed.
If President Wilson can hold out any
tangible possibilities of peace through
his mediation, Germany will undoubt-
eddy be willing to consider such sug-
gestions.

change in policy, restoring the United

which was made public on Saturday by

which the change must be effected is
not specified, but the United States
expects prompt action.

Selling and censoring neutral mails
are recited in the communication,
and answers are made to the legal
arguments contained in the reply OF
the entente governments to the first

U. S. TROOPS KILL VILLA CHIEF
Notorious Bandit Cervantes Slain After
Attack on Engineers.

Field Headquarters United States
Army, near Namiquipa, Mex, via radio
to Columbus, N. NJ, May ga short
sharp battle between a force of Amer
lean army engineers and a gang or
Mexican bandits under the leadership
of the notorious Candelaria Cervantes,
one of Pancho Villas most trusted
lieutenants, was fought south of Cru
ces
Three Americans were wounded, one
so badly that he died a short time
after and two of the bandits were
killed, several wounded and the band
scattered. Among those killed was
Cervantes himself.
Lance Corporal Marksbury, attached
to a machine gu- detachment of the
Seventeenth infantry, was the Amerl-
can soldier killed in the clash with VII
listas near Cruces. Mex. Marksburys
home was at Herrodsburg, Ky.
The engineers were working on
road repairs six miles south of Cruces.
With them were few soldiers.
The Mexicans made a surprise at
tack. Cervantes has been hunted from
pillar to post the last two weeks.
The Mexicans dashed over small
hill and down on the unsuspecting
Americans as they worked in a small
ravine. Three Americans dropped at
the first volley. The soldiers rallied
instantly after that first volley, and
returned shot for shot at close range.
The body of Cervantes was posi-
lively identified by residents of Las
Cruces.
One of the Americans wounded was
Private Hulitt of the Seventeenth in
fantry, who was in charge Of the ma
chine gun, and who killed both the
Mexieans. His wound is not believed
to be serious.
The death of Cervantes will go far
toward clearing up the banditry in
this section.
