CONTACT SPRAYS FOR APHIDS.
Most Effective Means of Controlling In
sects That Do Much Damage to
Orchards,

| According TO specialists in the Z. s. de-
partment of agriculture, contact sprays
are the only effective means of control
ling the various kinds of aphids the
small insects which by feeding upon the
juices of the plants do much damage to
the fruit and foliage of orchard trees,
currant, gooseberry and grape. As the
aphids do not eat the plant tissues but
drain the sap from them the various
kinds of sprays containing stomach pois-
ons, such as paris green, arsenate of
lead, etc, are Ineffective. To do any
good the sprays must come in contact
with the bodies of the insects and great
thoroughness in spraying is therefore
necessary.
There are a large number of different
kinds of aphids, one or more of which
may attack almost every form OF or
chard and bush fruit For the most part,
however. the same measures of control
are applicable to all species. Quite a
number OF the aphid species winter in
the egg stage on the plants which they
attack in the following spring. These
may be controlled successfully by spray
ing when the buds first show green tips
of the foliage. In this way the first
brood of the insects is killed and insur-
ance is obtained against injury later in
the season. Additional spraying may,
however, be necessary if the infestation
is severe. The Importance of early bud
spraying is greatest with those species
of aphids whose attacks result in curl
ing the leaves of the plants on which
they feed This curling serves to protect
the insects to a considerable extent from
the contact spray. Those species which
do not curl the leaves are more easily
controlled by sprays after it is noted
that they are becoming numerous.
Nicotine has been found to be one of
the most effective substances for killing
aphids, and as it may be applied with
entire safety to plants it is possibly the
best suited of all the substances used in
the control of these insects. The cost of

"LET EACH OF US DO OUR BIT"

For fear that there may be a
cry for bread in this blessed Unit
ed States, let each OF us do our
bit. Every citizen with a flock of
poultry in the back yard, every
farmer with his flock of turkeys,
ducks, geese or chickens, should
continue his Matching during the
months of May and June.
We must produce more poultry
meat than ever before to help sup
ply the great shortage of food that
seems inevitable. With poultry,
we have a means of supplying the
most desirable the cheapest and
quickest meat product of any other
source OF meat supply.
The wonderful agricultural re-
sources of the United States, in
these war times are going to be
taxed to the uttermost, for in adj
dition to supplying our home de-
mands, we shall be called upon to
aid in supplying food to millions
of suffering humanity in the
worlds torn and stricken war zone.
Let us each do our bit.-By f. e.
Richards, president of the Amer
lean Poultry association.

MAURICE BROWN SPEAKS
ON THE LITTLE THEATER

Maurice Browne. actor, producer
and originator of the little theater'
movement of Chicago, addressed a
large audience in the local high
schools little theater" on Wednes-
day evening on THE New Art Of
American Drama.
Mr.. Browne spoke Of little thea
ter" movement that is sweeping
the country. He said in part. The
new art of American drama that
has gone over the country, has so
many different angles that il is al
most impossible TO cover the ma
terial
The history of the little theater'
movement originated with the great
writer in his time who was capable
of striking solid ground, truth, real
life and beauty. England was the
first of the European countries 10
take up the new drama. and il was
not until about 10 years later that
America succeeded in establishing
the first theater in the new move
ultllf mat bNdi NCu III @NtM VI n
city
The ordinary theater has become
too much like the department store,
where people go to see a show mere
ly because it was written by a GER
tain man. or because it is the Fol
lies, and these same people went to
shows where seats were sold, by the
foot. yard or even leg.
The first little theater' originated
in New York city some four or five
years ago, and following the install
lation of this theater, the movement
was adopted in Boston and Chicago.
At that time there were only sew
eral such theaters in existence, while
now there are approximately 800,
all over the country"
Mr.. Browne praised the work OF
Miss Gena Thompson in the little
theater" at the local high school.
Mr.. Browne said. AT the recent
convention of the Drama league,
held at Pittsburgh, there was one
speaker on the program who was
comparatively unknown to the ma
jority Of the delegates. and this
speaker was Miss Thompson, the
originator of the movement in South
Bend"

SAY COAL MEN
JUGGLED MART
Local BUYERS Say Contracts
Were Ignored to Get Open
Market Price.

That the small fry" among coal
dealers cannot get coal right now
at any price. but that the big fish"
can get il on paying high prices was
the gist of the testimony taken here
yesterday on the coal situation by
r. l. Lewis, chairman of the public
service commission. Mr.. Lewis spent
the entire day at the Chamber Of
Commerce in hearing testimony Of
coal dealers. big and little. from
South Bend and surrounding cities.
Fred \ Bryan of the Indiana <
Michigan Electric Co, A. A. Fred
ericks of the oliver Chilled Pillow
Co. and f. c. Witwer of the Stude-
baker corporation each testified that
although the larger companies had
been able TO obtain coal at excep-
tionally high prices. they were un-
able 70 make contracts and were
subject 70 the same delays in de-
livery as the small buyers.
small Dealers Hit Hardest.
Representative from Michigan
City. Goshen. Elkhart and Laporte
reiterated the charges brought forth
i'm the morning by the South Bend
dealers that it is almost impossible
for small dealers TO get coal. They
declared that one of the chief rea-
sons for the inefficient delivery is
tha MILNE nm of coal cars both load
ed and empty, on sidinss outside
the cities.
The New York Central railroad
has been laying off men steadily
during the past few weeks. and the
policy is being followed i'm the west
by other roads. so that the force is
not large enough TO handle the ship
ping. Chairman Lewis expects TO call
the various road heads in few
days. and believes that in their tes-
timony he will find the keynote Of
the situation.
