How to Form a Red Cross Chapter

petitioners, and returned TO him. II 1t
appears that responsible and represen
tative men and women are back of the
movement, he will grant authority to
organize a chapter.
The next step Is q meeting of the
group. already organized into Il COM
mittee on organization, together with n
women of the community. but not n
public mass meeting. At this meeting
a board Of trustees Of from u to 3G
is usually elected, One-third to hold
Office one year, one-third two years
and one-third three years. This board
then elects a central committee of ten
members, the central committee
chooses the chapter chairman. and the
chairman with the aid of the central
committee names the principal COM
mittees.
1t has been found test to elect in ex-
perienced business man and capable
executive as chairman. In only few
instances have women been chosen
The secretary must be familiar with
the work of keeping records, an car
rying on businesslike correspondence
with men whose every minute is valu-
able. The treasurer is usually the
president of a strong bank. Chairman,
secretary and treasurer are usually ex
ofIicio members of the executive COM
mittee.
When the chapter has been fully or
ganized, a certificate of organization
and election, made out on blanks which
will have been furnished, will be sent
to the division director. If he finds 1t
regular, he will forward 1t to the d.
rector of Chapters, at Washington, 1t
will be taken by him before the central
committee, and a formal recognition
of the new chapter will be granted
From that moment the chapter Is the
official representative Of the American
Red Cross in the territory over which
1t has Jurisdiction.
The name of the chapter Is usually
that of the town in which 1t Is formed
The name must be geographical, and
the territory over which the chapter
wishes Jurisdiction must be clearly set
forth in the petition, and will be as
clearly defined In the authority to or
ganize, and in the formal recognition
by the central committee.

METHOD OF DESTROYING CABBAGE WORM

tBy GEORGE A. DEAN. Professor of En-
tomology, Kansas State Agricultural
College.)
A short time before the earliest cab
bnge is set In the spring, the familiar
white butterfly with black spots on
the wings may be seen flying about
uear the ground. When cabbage is set,
the butterflies deposit their eggs on
the leaves. The eggs hatch In about
n week into small green larvae or
worms" These worms eat the cab
bage leaves, making their way down
to the tender crown of the plant, and
sheltering among the outer leaves of
the head. After about two weeks of
rapid growth, the velvety green worms
are more than an inch long. Each
transforms to an angular pupa, at
tached to cabbage leaf or other OBJ
ject, and, in about another week, there
burst from these pupae another gen.
eration of white butterflies which de-
posit eggs to produce more worms.
Since all stages in the life of u cab

LARGE CROP OF SOY
BEANS is REQUIRED
Farmers Should Greatly Increase
Acreage of This Crop for
Oil and human Food.

Although farmers have planned to
grow n far larger crop of soy beans in
1917 than ever before, they Should now
greatly increase the acreage of this
crop. The department of farm crops
of the Missouri college of agriculture
predicts that as result of the war
the crop will be in dem9nd as feed
ing concentrate, for oil and for hui
man food in addition to its normal
use rs n forage crop.
Experiments have shown soy bean
meal to have about the same feeding
value as cottonseed meal; and cotton
seed meal will probably be so high
next fall that it cannot be afforded for
feeding. There is sound reason then
for anticipating great demand on the
crop for use as feeding concentrate.
Because Of the present shortage of
fats and oils throughout the world,
due to war consumption and low pro-
duction In europe. all available

INJURIOUS EFFECTS OF WORK OF CABBAGE WORM.

bage butterfly are passed in about one
month, there may be as many as four
generations or more in one year, and
thus the worms become very numerous
OH the later cabbage. The pupae from
worms of the last generation that were
fortunate enough to have been formed
in a sheltered place where they are
undlsturbed, survive the winter, the
butterflies emerging early in spring.
Control Measures.
The commercial growers destroy the
worms by means of Paris green or lead
arsenate, which Is applied to the
plants by either busting or spraying.
For busting, mix one pound of Paris
green or five pounds Of finely powder
ed lead arsenate with ten pounds Of
hydrated lime or dry flour. Place this
mixture in a flour sack or In a can
with the top or bottom finely perfor-
ated. The operator walks between two

sources Of these necessary materials
Will presently be utilized. Although
the soy bean is not considered source
for oil in this part of the country, in
Virginia and North Carolina, the
threshed crop Is sold mainly to the
cotton oil mills, where the oil is ex.
pressed and the residue, or cake,
ground into meal. Indeed soy bean
seed is actually second only to cotton.
seed as source Of vegetable oils. II
now seems certain that the demand
for soy bean oil will soon become
greater than can be supplied by the
Eastern crop and that the Missouri
crop will be drawn on to meet the
need.
During the war, when foodstuffs Of
all kinds will continually diminish,
many unusual kinds Of human food
will be brought into use. The soy
bean is one of the crops which will
be utilized. Already several manufac.
turers in the East have successfully
substituted soy beans for navy beans
in baked pork and beans. Indeed the
demand in the East for soy beans for
packing and for planting has been so
great since last fall that the cotton
oil mills have practically ceased
crushing the seed and are turning
them to the planters and packers. One
mill which last fall bought 10000
bushels Of seed and planned to crush
at least 100000 bushels did not crush
any seed but disposed O2 the whole
stock for food and planting. Only the
yellow-seeded varieties are used for
food.
With the wartime demand on the
soy bean crop for an animal concen-
tratc, for human food, and for oil, In
addition to the normal demand for
forage and seed for planting, there is
no doubt that high prices will be n'Gin.
tained. Soy beans are now selling at
$3.50 to $4.00 bushel-at double tho
usual price-and farmers should not
fail to plant the largest possible acre
age. 1t will be a profitable and patri'
otic enterprise.

Just as the family is the group OIL
which all modern civilization Is based.
and of which counties, states and ma
tIons are formed, so the chapter is the
unit on which is based the great work
of the American Red Cross. The aim
of this article Is TO tell. as clearly and
briefly as may be, the best way to form
a chapter.
A small group of persOns-three or
four or half dozen, or even ten
should hold an informal meeting and
reach mutual understanding of what
is to be done. They must understand
that the Red Cross chapter Is not a
sewing society, nor q physicians club,
nor nurses organization, nor pO-
litical or religious group Of any kind.
1t Is union Of the brightest and
strongest men and women of any COM
munity, formed to prepare for the al
deviation Of human misery.
This being true, those who form the
chapter must be men and women who
command the respect of the cOmmu-
nifty. 1t has been found well to have
in this group a representative of the
local chamber Of commerce or what
ever business organization the cOmmu-
nifty affords. Physicians, lawyers
clergymen, educators, bankers, busl-
ness men-whoever are leaders in the
daily life of the community-make
good material for Red Cross work.
Politics and creed are never consid-
cred Mt oil.
1t Is preferred that each county have
a chapter, usually located at the cOun-
ty seat, but there Is no hard and fast
rule. In any case, those who wish to
form chapter should agree on n
course, form themselves Into an or
ganization committee, choose a chair
man and secretary, and write to the
Division Director of the Red Cross for
permission to organize a chapter. In
the letter asking this permission, a
brief account should be given of each
Of those In the movement, for the d.
rector invariably makes Inquiry, be-
fore granting permission, to MAXI sure
that the chapter will be In capable and
trustworthy hands.
The division director will send a
blank form petition, which is to be
filled out with the names, addresses
and other Items concerning each Of the

shaking them so that the poisonous
dust settles on the cabbage leaves.
Worms eating off the busted leaves
Will die in day or two.
Dusting should be done when the
leaves are dry and there is little wind,
and repeated at intervals of from one
to two weeks, depending on how often
the rains come. Should there be no
rains, the interval between dustings
should not be longer than two weeks,
or the new growth may be injured.
Sprayers are expensive, even the
small hand machine costing fronNS7 to
$40. Besides, spraying a small patch
requires much more time than busting
it. Growers with three acres or more
would be justified in buying a barrel
pump or other large sprayer such as is
easily obtained on the market. For
spraying, use one-half pound of Paris

shown that if the poison remained on
