Four feet of frost on a barren incline
of one of East Barre's hill roads were

city water main, which was discovered
early in the week. The excavation is |
being made in an exposed piece of high

heavy during the winter the city EN-
ployes were not surprised to find frost.

by working all day tomorrow the de-

that maple and hickory are seldom in
iured On tn other hand, oak, willow
and poplar promote the spread of the in
festation.
One of the methods of controlling the
pests is by the introduction of parasites
and natural enemies Both the gypsy
moth and the brown tail moth are ma
tives of Europe. The fact that they do
so much less harm there than they do in
this country is accounted for by the ex-
istence in their original home of natural
enemies. which are lacking in this coun-
try. Already approximately 80 species
of these enemies have been imported and
seven or eight species have been success
full in establishing themselves and in ma
terially reducing the numbers of gypsy
and brown. tail moths. This method will
surely help in the ultimate control of the
pests.

INSURANCE AGAINST
THE GYPSY MOTH
Much of the Work Against This Pest
and the Brown-Tail Moth Devoted
to Saving Communities as
Yet Uninfested.

That the money appropriated by the
federal government for the suppression
Of the gypsy and brown-tail moths
should be regarded by states that are as
yet free from these pests as a cheap
form Of insurance, is pointed out in an
article by A. T. Burgess, in the 1916
Yearbook Of the t. s. department of
agriculture In corroboratiou Of this
statement, the article describes the ex-
perience of Massachusetts with the gypsy
moth. This insect obtained foothold
many years ago near Medford, but it
was not until the early nineties that it
became serious menace to property.
For 10 years the state of Massachusetts
strove to stamp out the pest, and there
is little doubt that if it had continued
the work as energetically for little
while longer. much better results would
have been obtained. As matter of fact
however, the work succeeded in reducing
the devastation wrought by the insect TO
such a point that keen popular interest
in the matter subsidized and the appro-
priations were discontinued.
At this period the largest amount of
eAptHueu by massachusetts lof
the elimination of the gypsy moth in
any one year was 100000. Since 1905,
when active work was resumed, Massa
chusetts has been spending over half a
million dollars a year in its battle
against the pest. 1t is, says Mr.. Burgess,
far more important and far cheaper to
prevent the introduction of serious pests
into region than it is to attempt to
control them after they have become
firmly established.
What the gypsy moth actually costs
communities in which it has obtained a
football is indicated by the expenditures
of a number of towns in Massachusetts,.
Exclusive of state and federal aid, the
cost to four towns and one city ranged
in 1915 from IL cents per capita to SLIT
per capita, and from nine cents for each |
81 900 of assessed valuation to $l.3l In !
the case where the towns expenditures !
were proportionately the heaviest, the |
state aid amounted to $4,000.
One great purpose of the federal cam
paign against the gypsy moth and the
brown tail moth is to render unnecessary |
such heavy expenditures on the part of I
communities which are still uninfested
by the pests. The territory infested by
the insects is under federal quarantine
and all products likely to carry the in
seets out of the area are inspected be-
fore they are allowed to be moved. The
territory bordering the infested area also
is thoroughly inspected, and the infesta
ton in this region is being gradually
reduced by the treatment of egg clusters
and the destruction of caterpillars. An
effort also is being made to replace trees
which are favored food plants of the gyp-
sy moth by those which are not favored
by the pest. II has been found, for ex-
ample. that solid stands of coniferous
trees do not support the gypsy moth

EARLY VEGETABLES.
Seeds Planted in Boxes in the House Pro-
duee Much Earlier Crops.

Home gardeners who do not own hot
bed and who can not readily buy young
plants can get much earlier crops of to
matoes, cabbage, caulifower, peppers
egg plant, and lettuce If they will start
the seed Tor their early gardens in seed
boxes in the house. Early potatoes some
times are forced in the same way Seed:
30 planted terminate and are ready fol
transplanting by the time il is safe IL
sow the same kind of seed in the open
ground, When danger of frost is over
and the soil is dry enough to work, there
fore, the home gardener starts his early
garden with seedlings we'll above the
surface. Transplanting, if properly done,
instead of hurting, seems to help such
plants develop strong root system. Gar
den enthusiasts should get good deal
Of pleasure from this kind OF preliminary
indoor gardening They also can use
boxes to hasten the blooming period of
many sorts OF flowers which stand trans
planting,
ANY sort of wooden box filled with
good soil answers the purpose, The fol-
lowing directions for making seed boxes
and handling the plants have been pre-
pared by the bureau OF plant industry
and the states relations service, United
States department of agriculture, for the
guidance Of the canning and gardening
clubs in the North and West.
Making Seed Box.
Seeds of early tomatoes and cabbage,
as well as caulitlower and pepper, should
be planted in a seed box in the house
at once The seed box should be three
to four inches deep IL to Ia inches wide,
and 20 to 30 inches long. A layer of
about one inch of gravel or cinders should
be placed in the bottom OF the box, then
it should be filled nearly full of rich gar
en- soil, or soil enriched with decayed
leaves or manure The rich soil beneath
the family woodpile or around decay
ing logs is splendid for thi. purpose. The
soil should be pressed down firmly with
a small piece of board and rows made
one fourth to one half inch deep and two
inches apart crosswise of the box, The
seed should be distributed eight or ten
20 the inch in the rows and be coWr)d. |
fhe soil should be watered and The |
BOX set in a warm place in the light, |
n the sunshine by a window being best.
Water enough must be given from time

At War.

For the first time in 10 years the coun.
try is at war, formally, definitely and
for fixed purpose. The House of Rep
resentatives has followed the leadership
of the Senate, the latter had responded
to the call of the president, and he who
had consistently opposed war, and who
formerly opposed preparation for war,
performed a grave duty with a fuller
formerly of the facts that any private
citizen of this country.
The time has passed for hurting cpl
thets at those in the Senate and the
House who differed from the president
and who carried their differences into
the debate and the decision. Let us as
sumo that they We're sincere in their
opinions. They have manfully registered
them To-day, like every other loyal
citizen, they are Americans and may be
relied upon to do their whole duty.
We are in war and unprepared for
war. The unpreparedness must be re-
paired as soon as possible, and the peo-
pie, north and south, east and west, will
do their part. II is for Washington TO
do its part 1t is for the president to
give heed to conditions in the war de-
standardization Traveller.

and grow thriftily, but not enough to
leak through the box. If piece OF glass
is used to cover the box, it will hold the
moisture in the soil and hasten the ger

Take Out Surplus Plants.

When the plants are from an inch to
an inch and half high, they should be
thinned to one or two inches apart in
The row so as TO give them space enough
to make strong stocky growth. II it is
desired to keep the plants which are
thinned out, they may be set two inches
apart each way in other boxes prepared

LABOR SITUATION
GROWING SERIOUS
CBy International News servicel

WASHINGTON. August 2.-The la
Dor situation in the United States is
becoming serious. Starting with the
L.W.W. disturbances in the West
there is now danger of general strikes
in many industries throughout the
country. Union leaders allege that
employers in the West and Southwest
are taking advantage of I.W.W. trou
bles to discharge union men by whole
sale. Miners in Gallup, n. NJ, have
struck in sympathy with a hundred
of their fellows who have been de-
ported from the tent colony owned
by the company. They are members
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. William Green. a member of the
Mine Workers executive board. has
wired to President Wilson that unless
these men are restored to their homes
he will favor a strike of all coal min
ers in the United States. An investi-
CATION conducted by the Department
of Justice has shown the I.W.W much
stronger than had been supposed, but
the inquiry utterly failed to prove
that German influences are behind, or
backing. any I.W.W. strikes.
