ENEMIES THAT DE-
STROY CABBAGE

Cabbage is frequently attacked by
destructive insects, but in most cases
these yield to prompt treatment.
Cabbage maggots are small white
worms which eat off the tender roots.
The young plant is dead before the
farmer realizes their presence. They
do most damage TO early planted cab
bage. A tar paper disc set around
each plant is the most effective means
Of control.
For green cabbage worm spray with
arsenate Of lead or dust with Paris
green whenever the same may be
necessary, up TO the time Of heading.
For cabbage lice spray with tobac-
co solution and soap, using enough
soap to make the tobacco stick.
THE FARM BOYS TRAINING

course in the use Of machinery, such
as the gasoline engine, cream separ-
ator, feed grinder, ensilage cutter,

COAL ENOUGH
Official Figures for Six Months Re-
assuring to Coal Users


| Not only food but fuel is a vita
need of this country and of our allie
coal to run the ships and railroads
to feed the iron furnaces and furnish
steam for all the manufacturing
| plants, coal in greater quantities thar
have ever before been mined in thu
United States or in any part of The
world--and this need is being met il
truly American fashion by the operat.
ors and owners Of the mines and by
the diggers of coal. With these words
Secretary Franklin X Lane began his
statement regarding the coal situation
as reported to him by the statisticians
Of his department
The production of coal in the United
States last year, he continued, was the
greatest in the history Of the country.
A new record, however, was set for
the first six months of this year, fully
270, 100000 tons of bituminous coal be-
ing produced since January 1st, thus
exceeding the output of the first six
months of last year by about 20,000,-
900 tons. Even better news Is that the
limit has not yet been reached, for as
the railroads are able to work out to
better advantage the problem Of car
supply and give to the mines greater
facilities for transporting their pro-
duct to market, the supply Of coal
that reaches the consumer will be in
steadily increasing quantities. In the
early months of 1917, because of the
congestion Of the railroads and the
difficulties Of transportation, the pro-
duction of bituminous coal fell behind
the high mark set in January and
February, year ago. As result of
the patriotic and earnest endeavor Of
the railroad officials and the coal oper-
ators and representatives Of mine
workers who have volunteered their
services to the Federal Government in
this emergency, production has been
speeded up within the last few months
and the output of soft coal which in
May exceeded all previous records,
was surpassed in June.
Despite the extra demand in this
country and the urgent needs of our
allies, no one with the facts before
him can doubt that the coal industry, |
under the careful guidance of those |
now directing its welfare, will be able
TO supply all needs.
The difficulty Of distribution now SO
great will be intensified, however, in
the coming winter months. Just as
of foodstuffs are being urg-
I'd to eliminate all waste and TO prac-
ice sensible economy, so the consum
.rs Of coal must do their share in
working out the coal problem by un-
oading every coal car as fast as it is
'eceived, and in improving their plants
% as TO utilize to the fullest the heat
'alue Of the coal that reaches their
ins. In stopping the coal panic and
n expediting a condition Of fuel suf-
cheney, every consumer can do his

IL these eounscls do not prevail there
is no doubt that tho producers will
make every reasonable effort to cstab-
lish and maintain their just rights.
Secretary Richard Pattec OF the
New England Milk Producers Associ-
alton said yesterday that the officers
OF the association would leave nothing
undonc to prevent the calling Of
strike July 18th However" he stat
ed, " If II has 10 come, IL will come,
and we are ready for it, We do not
want 1t; we have tried and shall try 10
prevent it, but there are certain prin-
ciples for which the farmers Of New
England must stand, else they will bc
driven from the business. The N. l..
M. p. A. has not arrived at "A decision
hastily, nor in the heat Of passion. Its
board of directors has calmly consid-
cred the situation and decided that
only one course Of action is open.
That is TO give the dealers all the
privileges possible, but stand firm for
the principle of securing a reasonable
price and permitting the men who
produce the goods TO name that price.
II we must fight to maintain that
course Of action, we shall fight; and
am confident we shall be victorious.
On the other hand we shall do every
thing in our power to prevent such
fight occurring and we still hope to
Dc successful in this effort"

CHEMICAL ENGINEERS
IN WAR TIME

Much of the success Of the present
war depends upon chemicals, the sup
ply Of chemicals and particularly up
on the chemical engineer. Thirty
thousand of the latter are already
mobilized in the interests and service
of the government, under the direc-
ton of the National Committee In
Washington, and as body, are pre-
pared to give of their science and abil-
ity to further the victory which must
come to this country. Not only is the
chemical engineer prime factor now,
during the period when chemicals are
playing their part in the fighting on
all fronts, but the chemical engineer,
in entering the powerful preparations
of the world Of American manufactur-
ers is a higher one than before the
war, and that his place in the van of
national development is fully estab-
lished.
The increasing Importance Of chem
ical manufacture in this country began
with the cutting off Of the supply of
both raw and manufactured chemicals,
when German importations ceased, at
the beginning of the war. Not only
were stocks quickly depleted, causing
bewildering jumps in prices, but the
chemical manufacturers in the United
States were not equipped either with
machinery or with practical workmen,
nor even many of the raw goods, to
begin manufacture for many months
after the war began.
knowledge of the extent Of the
chemical industry, therefore has in
creased, and the general public has
some knowledge of the role played by
the experts, whose intricate chemical
processes have made the explosives in
warfare almost the center of attraction
in any discussion of the possible early
termination of the conflict. The ad-
vanced processes which have made the
gases, and which applied
liquid fire to the onslaught of armies,
are only small parts Of the develop |
ment Of modern chemists, for it is to
the advance Of commercial chemistry |
that the minds of American chemists
are now principally turned. There are
problems which are in the solving
period which will be brought before
the 55th convention of the American
Chemical Society in September, and
not only is the interest of the chem
SITS Of the country centered upon dis
.ussions which viii be held at that
meeting, but there are many who are
waiting the results Of that meeting
or the furtherancc Of their business
md manufacture. The convention will
mark a priod Of enormous advance in
he industry whose production, includ-
ng dyes, is still far behind the rising
Iood Of demand. One condition needs
solution, in the fact that Germany,
( the time Of the declaration Of the ,
'ar, was exporting as many as 10000
olors, shades, tinis, etc, whereas it
'as necessary for the American man
facturcrs to limit their products to j
asS than 200.
