any difficulty in coming all the phrases needed for

BY John r. McGnl.


Business conditions and the fu-
ture outlook are such. in my judg-
ment. that if the war should con
tinue for another year the chief
problem with which manufacturers
will be confronted will be the abil-
ity to supply the enormous demands.
Two million of young men employ
ed in the industries of the country
are about 10 be withdrawn from the
civic and diverted TO military life.
Labor is going 10 be scarce. wages
high. and the consuming public
never before has been so we'll sup
piled with the money 10 buy, and as
il must economic in the purchase
OF food it will more literally pa
tronize products Of more permanent
'value-such for instance as furni-
ture and other house furnishings
Getting back to your first ques-
ton as 10 how / find business. / will
say our business has shown a very
healthy increase every month-in
fact the volume of business done By
our company this year is the great,
est in its history and / am optimistic
as TO the future
The individual who thinks that
he is helping his countrys cause by
practicing unwise economy and en-
couraging others to do so is doubt
less well meaning. but sadly mis-
taken. and his activities tend only
10 weaken rather than strengthen
the situation. The only economies
that are at all justifable are those
that serve TO assist in prosecuting
the war.

Wilson.
To get rid of the potato bugs. cab
bage worms. cutworms. and other
insects which chew up your plants
and swallow them you must feed
them poison. says today's bulletin
from the national emergency food
garden commission, operating with
this newspaper in urging more food
gardens.
One of the best poisons for chew
/ ing bugs is arsenate of lead-the
I powdered form being better than
the paste, because il is easier 10
weigh and handle. Arsenate of lead
mixes evenly in water and sticks to
/ plants. Two ounces of powdered ar
senate or four ounces of arsenate
paste mixed with three gallons of
water makes the spray. BY using
| bordeaux instead of water in this
| solution you get one of the best
combination sprays for both fungus
and chewing insects. This spray
should be frequently stirred while
! being sprayed 10 keep the poison
evenly mixed in the solutions II
should never be used on cabbage
or caulihower after the heads begin
TO form
The old reliable paris green spray
is also deadly to insect chewers. Use
one ounce of paris green, two TO
/ four ounces of lump lime, and 10
gallons of water (not six gallons of
water if the spray is for potato
bugs. The lime prevents the paris
green from injuring foliage. II YOU
substitute bordeaux for the water in
this solution you do not need 10
use lime and you have a splendid
combination spray for fungus and
chewing insects.
The war has made the price OF
paris green prohibi;ive t. ,-rost Ear-
deners Arsenate % lead, however,
is not unduly expensive and in many
respects il is a better bug poison
than paris green.
