TO ERADICATE PEAR PsYLLA
Spray Mixture Of Nicotine and Soap
u Effective-Apply Lime Sulphur
In the Spring.

(By p. J. PARROTT. Entomologist. New
York Station.)
Nicotine and soap are the best ma
terials to use for this purpose. Use
one pint nicotine and four pounds soap
to 100 gallons of water. The soap
helps to make it stick. Spray in No
vember or December after q spell Of
cold weather, on day when the tenn
perature is rising and is about 40 de-
grees or more. You will then kill
many of the psylla which winter in
the mature stage.
In spring just before the blossom
buds open at the end spray with win
ter strength lime-sulphur, one to eight.
By that time the eggs are deposited
and are very susceptible to injury. Two
applications a year made in this way
will hold the psylla in check.

Tag Day for the St. Mary Red
Cross Society has passed and the re-
suit of the strenuous day put in by
the numerous ladies and girls was
the tagging of who ventuerd on the
streets and all others who remained
at home. Tags brought from one
cent to several dollars each and the
total reached the sum of $204.94.
This sum is about one-fifth the
amount expected from the sale Of
tags, but the low returns can not be
attributed to lack of effort on the
part Of the committees and their as
sistants who had the work in charge.
The Sham Battle netted $4,000 and
the Red Cross Ball at the City Hall
at night returned $4,000 for tickets.

Miss Mamie Dalisn Seriously
Injured Fan From Second
Story Gallery OF Her Home
This Morning.

While shaking rugs on the upper
gallery at her home in the north
part of Morgan City abort noon to-
day, Miss Mamie Dalton, organist of
the Sacred Heart Church and one of
the best known and most respected
women of the city, fell to the cement
pavement and sustained injuries
which are feared will prove very seri-
Gus. Miss Dalton's unfortunate acct
dent was caused by the giving away
of the bannisters of the gallery. She
fell distance of about fifteen feet
to the sidewalk below. Neighbors
hearing her outcry and witnessing
the fall rushed to the scene and gave
what first aid was possible. The in
jured lady was hurriedly removed by
automobile to the Sanitarium for
treatment. The extent of her in
juries is not known but it is believed
that she suffered fractured bones
and it is feared that she also receiv-
ed internal injuries. This fearful
happening has set the city aghast
and the many friends of the victim
are anxiously awaiting further news
from Patterson in regard to her con-
dition.
Miss Dalton is the daughter Of Mr..

peace now. The presidents note is the
first concrete evidence Germany has
had that the ambition of her enemies is
not to crush her
President Wilson has declared against
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of empires and against
post-bellum trade wars. In these cir
cumstances. Germany for the first time
can realize that the war against her is
not mercenary, or aggressive, but that
1t is one of altruistic purpose Hence.
as many here see it, the liberals of Ger
many will soon force off the yoke of
kaiserism.
II, however, they content themselves
with hearkening to the made-in-Ger-
many plea that the war is now one of
defense in so far as Germany is con-
cerned, the struggle will go on. Mill
tary men believe that Germany will de-
eide either to take the chance of a mill
tary defeat or will start peace negotia-
lions honestly now.
Should she decide however that there
Is no peace chance now or that her arms
can ultimately triumph then she will
fight on for a year or two more.
BY that time, Americas strength will
be felt in full force and Germany's de-
feat will be an assured fact.
Secretary of State Lansing did not
see today in Germany's concessions 20
Argentina anything particularly signif-
cant. He pointed out that the German
government made such promises 20
America-only to break them later.
Others, however thought Germany saw
the handwriting on the wall and was
easing up on her U-boat contest so as TO
get some moral and material support
from this hemisphere. That she is look
ing to trade after war is considered OBJ
vious.
Russia, despite her enormous strug-
gle to keep weakening forces in line. is
heartened by the presidents note which
diplomats feel makes Russia and the
United States virtual arbiters of peace.
The answer II is felt may crush the las:
traces of separate peace talk in Russia
Meantime, allied diplomats gave their
word that their nations agree with
President Wilson as to abandonment OF
ideas of post-bellum trade war. They
said that if Germanys claws are
clipped, such wars will be unnecessary
except in isolated instances. On the
whole, however observers here saw in
Wilson's expression a notice to Ger
many that she will get a fair trade deal
after the war, and a sign that America
and the allies realize blunder was
committed in notifying Germany she
would be crushed no matter how the
war ended. 4 certain suspicion must
attach to German business after the
war, it Is pointed out but under Will
sons ideas Germany can re-establish
her trade If she will remove from II
the faint of kaiserism.

The wind catches the dust and carries
lie over the camp. leaving. it in sheets
on the roofs of the buildings, whisking
1t down the backs of the men, spreading
1t over their arms and faces, soaring
the green leaves of the woods to a dirty
yellow. Yet the work goes on; the
men wipe their hands and faces and
grin; tho mules bat the dust from their
ears; the buildings grow and grow.

WHEAT PRICE DISCUSSED
IN COMMITTEE MEETING
Failure to Reach Conclusion
indicates Division of Opin-
ion on Figure

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The wheat
price-fixing committee resumed its ses-
sion today in 4 further effort 70 agree
on a price for the 1917 crop. Last
nights meeting was adjourned after sew
eral votes were taken without disposing
of the question.
There had been prior agreement thu :
a tnree-fourths vote would be necessary
to determine the price. Failure to reach
a conclusion is believed to indicate that
there are strong differences of opinion
regarding what constitutes a fair vaiua-
tion on the crop.
The basic price fixed will be for num-
Der one northern wheat or its equiva-
lent. Scales for the other grades Will
be worked out within the next few
days by the food administration.
