Frank was one of the most likely look

George NJ. List, of the Agricultural
College says:
"The season is about here when the
first and most effective spraying for
the codling moth, can be done. Prac-
tically 60 percent of the worms can
be destroyed if a thorough spraying
with arsenate Of lead is given just
after the blossoms fall, the object be-
ing to get the poison into the bios
som end of the apple where this per-
centage of worms enter.
''In few sections of the state, this
one application will keep the fruit
comparatively free from injury, but
in most sections it is necessary to coat
the apple, after it is larger, with the
spray to poison the worms that at
tempt to enter through the sides. The
first little worms begin to enter the
apples about four weeks from the
time the blossoms fall, or when the
apples are one-half to three-fourths of
an inch in diameter. The second spray
should be applied then. If many
worms were allowed to develop in the
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1917-05-30

orchard lase season, at least one more
application about two to three weeks
later should be made.
'In some sections Of the state, it
is important that one and possibly two
applications should be made to destroy
the second brood or late worms that
come on in the latter part of July or
in August. The first of these should
come, as a rule, about five to seven
weeks after the second spray was
applied, and the other about two
weeks later.
This schedule is recommended for
sections of the western slops where
intensified fruit growing and unfav-
orable conditions make this pest ex-
tremely difficult to control.
"Due to the varying conditions in
the different sections, no definite
schedule of spray can be given for
the entire state, but it is safe to say
that all should make the first and
second application mentioned, and in
practically all cases the third is i'm
portant."

son proclaiming that we are fighting
for humanity and the establishment
of democracies. Mr.. Robbins asserts
that the war will never be popularized
with the American people if they are
told that it is our purpose to go to
Europe and overturn established gov
ernments; to cast down the German
autocracy while rcestablishing the
monarchy of Belgium, or to drive out
the dual monarchy Of Austria Hun
gary while loaning money to the king
dom of Italy. We are fighting Ger
many because she has attacked our
rights on the high seas, and in the
opinion of Mr.. Robbins the President
is making a fatal mistake when he
attempts to alter that principle.
Good Pay for Soldiers
The enlisted men who are to fight
the battles Of the war owe a debt of
gratitude to Representative James w.
Good Of Iowa, who is responsible for
the practical doubling of their pay
during the conflict. In the last hours
Of consideration of the bill in the
house, while the democratic chairman
of the military committee was plead
ing with his colleagues "for Gods
sake to take some sort of definite ac-
ton" Mr.. Good presented his increas-
ed pay proposition, and made such an
effective speech in its support that the
house adopted the provision by con-
vincing vote. Thus a compensation
has been secured for our soldiers, due
almost entirely to the initiative of
Congressman Good, that will compare
favorable with that of the other AL
lies.

Thousands of boxes Of apples-val-

A theme suggested by the depart
ment Of the interior for discussion at
school commencement exercises this
year is, Honor in Public Service. How
a national emergency drives out sec
tional interest, pork barrel legisla-
ton, and personal AMI petty profit"
A naive confession of what has been
going on for the past four years. The

S27 100000.
To Curb the Council
Senator Thomas Sterling of South
Dakota has had the forethought to
have inserted in the bill appropriating
money for the council of national
defense an item providing that, in
spite of the existence of a state of
war, the powers of that council shall
not exceed those prescribed by the act
creating it, passed last summer. The
tendency of the administration to as
sumo powers never contemplated by
the Constitution or the acts of Can
gress has led Mr.. Sterling to the con-
clusion that it is highly desirable to
call the attention of officials definitely
to the law on the subject.
The Real Issue
The Presidents apparent change Of
his conception as to why we went to
war with Germany is incomprehensible
to Congressman Edwin E. Robbins of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Robbins thorough
" approved the words of the Presi-
dent when he declared before Con-
gress that ave will not choose the
path of submission and suffer the
most sacred rights of our nation and
our people to be ignored and violated"
But we are now treated to an entirely
different view Of the war. Mr.. VIII

On a Vain Quest

anu otAAh OA 10
On n Vain Quest
Part of the Wilson tariff commits
sion has been ordered to Europe to
study conditions there in their rela-
ton to our tariff. They will return
home with fine line Of bunk. There
is not an industry on that war-crazed
contingent today in which normal con-
ditions prevail. There is absolutely
nothing to be learned there on which
an argument for or against higher or
lower tariff schedules could be based.
1t has been said that the commission
will study the probable effect of the
Paris Pact on American trade. But
that portion of the pact which most
deeply concerns us does not go into
operation until after the war, and is
even subject to revision before that
time. Up to that time there will be
just about as much information avail
able on this side of the Atlantic as
there is on the other. Europe asks
for American soldiers and the first
thing we send them is an industrial
smelling committee that couldn't tell
a cotton loom from an Aeolian harp.
II in their aimless wanderings they
should fetch up in Germany and be
interned it would be blessing to in
dustrial America.
