MAKE WAR ON INSECTS
Campaign to Teach Every FARM
er and Keeper of Foods.
Reduction Of Only Per Cent Of Pres
ent Losses Would Result In Saving
Millions Of Bushels Of Inn
portant Crops.

(F,rom the United. States Department OF
Agrtcu1ture.)
In an effort to reduce the enormous
annual loss Of food caused by attacks
of insects on growing crops, stored
food supplies, and live stock the bu-
reau of entomology Of the United
States department Of agriculture, in
cooperation with the extension serv-
Ices Of the states, is to begin vigor-
GUS campaign to teach insect fighting.
Covering the country as effectively
as possible with emergency funds made
available in the food production bill
just enacted by congress the entomolo-
gists will deal with every pest of i'm
portant crops. Should the campaign
planned result in reduction of only
5 per cent of present losses from in
sects an amount aggregating millions
Of bushels it is estimated would be
saved. It is expected that an effective
campaign would result in even larger
saving.
Specialists will give demonstrations
to small groups Of farmers, fruit grow
ers and others in regions where their
services are most needed. Wherever
it can be done persons in the community
where the demonstration is being con-
Quoted will be asked to assist in pre-
pairing spray mixtures, emulsions, pol
soned bats, dips, washes and the like.
These persons, SO far as practicable,
then will be requested to assist in the
application Of these and other meas
ures in order that each community in
which demonstrations are given will
have one or more persons acquainted
with methods Of assembling and apply
ing insecticides and in the use Of other
remedial measures.
Specialists in rice insects will visit
rice fields. Men familiar with the In
sect pests Of the orchard and vineyard
will be sent to those states where fruit
growing Is an important industry. In
the large trucking areas Of the country
and elsewhere specialists familiar with
the insects Of truck crops will be de-
tailed. Men familiar with the insect
pests Of cereal and forage crops will
work in states where these crops are
Of most importance, and will give spe-
cial attention to such important pests
as the Hessian fly, chinch bug and
joint worms.
In case of serious insect outbreaks
men will be available to concentrate
effort in the infested territory, to pre-
vent, II possible, further spread of the
pest. It is planned to give attention
also to demonstrating and disseminat-
ing information about methods for the
prevention Of insect losses to stored
grains, flour and other products, in
mills, warehouses and granaries, and
for the reduction Of losses to other
stored food products.

WRONG PLAYER IS BANlsHED
Pitcher or HImseIf-How John.
ny Evers Got In Wrong.

Fans who attended a recent game
in Philadelphia wondered what Johnny
Evers had done to warrant dismissal
from the field. The true tale has been
learned from Pat Moran.
Umpire Rigler and Pitcher Jacobs
were of different opinion on many
of the Pirates pitches. and the latter
were peeved. Evers came to bat in
the sixth with the bases filled and two
out. Johnny tried to coax pass and
the count was two balls and one strike
when Jake offered doubtful pitch.
Johnny insisted 1t was ball, but Rig
Ter called 1t strike.
"How about that pitch. Jake; wasn't
1t ball?" shouted the Quaker second
baseman after flying out on the next
one.
"It certainly was" replied Jacobs,
who was smarting over other deci-
sions.
"There you are now I" yelled Johnny
in glee, as he looked at Rigler.
you're finished for today" was the
answer from the umpire.
And then they wonder why a lot
Of people want the umpire curbed.

GOOD ATTENTION TO HORSES
Animal Readily Responds to Real
Horsemanship-suppIy Cool, Fresh
Air and Sunlight.

The necessity for efficiency in horse
power calls for the proper care Of the
farm work horse, especially during the
summer months.
The horse readily responds to real
horsemanship. The right kind Of
horsemanship includes a comfortable
stable, good grooming. kindness, at
tention to the teeth and feet and proper
feed.
Some Of the best cared-for horses
are found in an inconspicuous stable.
The horse appreciates a comfortable
stall. A desirable horse stable has
plenty of windows to admit cool. fresh

apparently, to the Germans. German
fiiers also penetrated to the entrance
of the Gulf of Finland.
Petrograd says that German torpedo
boats, submarines and mine-sweeping

be the forerunner of feet of cruisers

Campaign Long Forecast
II a landing were forced it would be
on the eastern shore of the gulf, in
the rear of the Russian defences along
the Dvina. Such a campaign as the
opening wedge Of drive for Petro-
grad was forecast just before the Rus

Discussion of its possibilities was re-
vived during the Russian retreat TO
the eastern bank of the River Aa, just
west of Riga, but that now appears to
have been merely a rectification of Cen
eral Letchitsky's defensive system. 1t

LONDON, Aug. Sherman naval
activity outside the Gulf Of Riga has
been increasing through the week. and
yesterday a great squadron of enemy
airplsnes raided both the Russian ISL
and bases in the Gulf and the shipping
and harbor works of the city itself.
Petrorrad evidently expects the long
beralded German attack from land and
sea.
There is no reason why this should
not take place. The Germans have
practical control of the Baltic. with a
convenient base at Libau, and there is
nothing to stop their naval forces, with
the exception of the Russian heet'
which is presumably in the same state
of decentralization as the army. FROM
tim. to time the Germans have bombed
IN. islands Of the Gulf of Riga from
N. air, but yesterdays raid was the
most ambitious yet undertaken. Forty
o;rnlanes comprised the raiding squad

For this purpose, a large number Of

"As soon as the military situation

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The German gov
eminent, acting in concert with Aus
tria, has decided to send the Polish
army, raised in occupied territory, to
the Italian fighting line, despite the
protest Of the Polish Council Of State.
which has been retired for questioning
a military ruling Of the Central Powers.
The army levied in Poland since the
creation of the German sponsored
Polish kingdom consists almost en-
tirely of Russian subjects, with some
additions from the Austrian Poles.
Dwindling man power in the Central
empires is directly responsible for the
action, according to a Copenhagen dis
patch, which quotes the "Vossischc
Zeitung" as saying that military neces-
sity compels the use of the Polish divi-
sions on the Isonzo front. Practically
the same confession is made in state
ment by the German Foreign Office to

gives "the general offensive" Of the

Poles Forced Into Battle by Teutons

recently some Of the units resigned
rather than be put into II field under
Austro- German command.
The "Taegliche Rundschau," Of Ber-
lin, say Copenhagen advices, gives a
new version Of the reason for the re-
tirement of the Polish Council Of
State, saying that instead Of resigning
it was dissolved because it ventured to
present an ultimaturl to the German
government on military questions.
The retirement of the Council has
brought out the fact that at the con-
tidential session Of the Reichstag Main
Committee on Monday the majority
parties demanded the establishment OF
a really representative Assembly and
a responsible Ministry in Polsnd-s
step which the "Rundschau" declares
would lead to an immediate demand
for the withdrawal of Germans from
Poland.
The German newspapers have
begun a campaign for the abandonment
of the idea OF Polish kingdom, argu-.
ing that the retirement of the Council
gives a favorable opportunity to undo
the mistakes made in proclaiming the
establishment of the kingdom and since
that time.

Berlin is silent as to any operations,

after strong artillery fire, undertook
preparatory o!fensives both northwest
of Dvinsk and near Nsrocz Lake, but
were repulsed by trench garrisons in
both cases. Petrograd merely an

On the eastern Galician frontier Ger
man detachments crossed the Zbrocz
River, wrecked the Russian trenches,
and Their returned to the west bank Of
the stream with a number of prisoners.
Berlin admits that the situation is
unchanged in southwestern Moldavia.
According to Petrogrsd, the enemy at

How Easily Spies
Nav Work

Just how this lack Of censorship on
kilograms and mails works for the Ger
man spy system, whereby German
U-boats are kept accurately informed
as to ship movements, will be appre-
ciated when it is stated that in sddi-
tion to the powerful wireless plants
Germany is alleged to maintain in Mex
ico and Central America, there is a
direct cable from Cuba to Spain. And
Spain, as every reader of cable news
knows, is almost as full of German
agents as the Scandinavian countries.
German spies among the 100000
enemy aliens who are allowed to roam
at will in New York may use the United
States mails where time is not of
urgent importance.
If they are in a great hurry two
courses lie open. They may wire to
Tampa, Key West or other Gulf points
and by mail or messenger send the in
formation to an accomplice in Cuba,
who will cable to other agents in Spain.
Once in Spain the message is as good
as in Germany. Or, if this course for
any reason does not appeal to the spy
or presents some difficulty, he may wire
TO some point near the Mexican border.
