Mr.. Maefarland, Finance Committee
Chairman, Wants All in District
to Contribute to Fund.

IF you can't put the Il in fight, you
can put the pay in patriotism" is the
m essage which Henry B. r. Macfarland,
chairman of the finance committee of
the District Chapter of the Red Cross,
has brought back from Canada to the
people of Washington. He suggests it
as slogan for this week

Statement by Chairman.

Chairman Macfarland said: These
gifts are particularly welcome because
the finance committee wants every man
woman and child in the District of Co
iumpia to contribute to the fund quite
as much as it desires to see the fund
completed. 1t is a democratic COM
munity affair representing the uni
versal desire to serve the country
1T is estimated that not one-half of
the population have as yet contributed,
but it is expected that all will do SO.
Many thousands have given through
the government departments. the civic
and fraternal organizations. the
churches. the schools and the District
government"

LIFE IN TRENCHES
FOR Fl. MyER MEN
Student Officers to Have Real
Taste of Hard Life
This Week.
DEMERITS FOR MISTAKES

There is a stiff weeks work ahead
of the 1.450 men in training for COM
missions as reserve officers in the Fort
Myer camp. Real trench life will be
experienced by the candidates, as a
new departure of the intensive training.
The men at the first camp spent sew
eral hours a day in trench work. but
tie greatest hardship they experienced
was having to go in after a rain, when
the water and mud stood several feet
deep. The men now in camp will have
to live for days and nights in the
trenches, under very close surveillance.
while actual war conditions are simulat-
ed. The man who raises his head above
the parapet will suffer a humliating
surprise and have several demerits
marked against his record for a COM
mission.
Another change in the administra-
tion tending to give the men practical
experience in commanding the units is
the more frequent rotation in office
During the first camp one set Of officers
was in charge of each unit for an en-
tire week and sometimes longer. Dur
ing this camp the student officers are
to be changed every two days.
1t is expected in this way to give
every candidate an opportunity to show
his qualifications and adaptability in
every office. A book record is being
kept on each man and every day that
he serves in any office mark is placed
against his name, so that at the end
of the camp the administration board
passing upon his qualifications for
commission will have a chance to see
just what he has done.

PEACH LEAF CURL.

Methods Suggested For the Control Of
This Blight.
Prepared by New York State College OF
Agricultural
Now Is good time to spray for con-
troll Of peach leaf curl, according to
the plant disease authorities at Cor
nell. They say that the spraying may
be done any time after the leaves fall
In the autumn and before the buds
begin to swell In the spring.
Orchardists In New York last spring
found that peach leaf curl was very
much in evidence throughout the state
wherever peaches are grown. Accord
ing to the authorities on plant dis
eases at the New York State College
of Agriculture, peach leaf curl Is one
of the fungous diseases of which the
control is well known, the method of
treatment highly perfected and the re-
suits Of such treatment absolutely
sure. They say there was nothing new
In the situation last spring except that
the conditions which have been favor
able for the peach leaf curl disease
namely, the cold and wet weather dur
Ing the early spring, not only favored
the disease, but caused peach growers
to delay spraying until it was too late.
In some cases they gave up spraying
altogether
AS a result it is stated that there
were many orchards not sprayed. where

THE KNOTTY FOOD PROBLEM.
A Scientist Finds Its Solution In .
Nutty Proposition,


Leave it to the bewhiskered old boys
of science, they Of the square specta-
cles and ear muffs, and this world will
be pulled through its rather precarious
existence. Some time ago somebody
who needed the money wrote an
alarmist article for a magazine, stat
ing that in a very short time-in fact,
within 100000 or 100000 years-the
earth's food supply would be entirely
exhausted.
This set all the scientists going like
horoscopes, and in the dizzy whirl of
investigation some very interesting
things came to light. 1t was up to the
scientists to find something for the
people to eat 100000 or 100000
years hence. 1t was not wholly new
problem. Scientists long ago evolved
the scheme of saving up timber into
breakfast food and said that a man
could go forth with bucksaw and get
enough sawdust out of fence rail to
keep himself and his family supplied
for some time.
One learned scientist thinks that he
has solved the problem for all time.
He says that the nut trees could in a
pinch supply food for the entire world.
This knotty question has become a
nutty question and one which he has
apparently solved. Those who are on
earth now should be of good cheer.
They will not have to starve 100000
years hence.-Topeka State Journal.

the leaves were nearly all affected, If
the varieties grown were subject to the
disease. Orchards sprayed too late
We're in practically the same condi-
tion. In other cases the spraying was
early enough, but not thorough enough.
The disease is easily recognized by
peach growers by the appearance of
curled and deformed bright colored
instead of normal leaves. A severe
attack will result in the loss of the
leaves and no growth of the tree it.
self. There will be partial or total
failure to set fruit, a general lowering
of the vitality of the tree and a sub
sequent failure in the production of
fruit buds for the following year. Re-
peated loss of foliage for several years
In succession means the death of the
trees. especially If the trees are young.
Nursery stock affected by this disease
Is likely to be total loss. Even slight
attacks affect orchard production.
Peach leaf curl may be controlled
either by bordeaux mixture or by lime
sulphur solution. Since the lime-sul-
phur solution diluted at the rate of one
gallon to eight gallons of water will
also control San Jose scale 1t is more
commonly used If the scale Is not
present the lime-sulphur may be used
at the rate of one gallon to fifteen gal
Ions of water
The most important factors In the
control are timeiness and thorough
ness of application. Infection appears
to take place during the first prolonged
cool rain after the buds begin to swell,
and spraying after this time has not
proved effective.
Spraying may be done any time after
the leaves fall In the autumn and be-
fore the buds begin to swell in the
spring. Experiments conducted during
the past two years have shown that
fall spraying is fully as effective as
spring spraying Usually also the
weather and soil conditions are more
favorable in the fall :. It Is therefore
advised that spraying for peach leaf
curl be done I'm the fall so far as posi-
BILE
The spores of the fungus, 1t Is
thought, remain over the winter lodged
In the hairs of the bud scales. This

Facts For Lime Users.

These are facts for lime users: Lime
is best applied just ahead of titled
crop. such as corn. Clay soil needs

sandy soil. Wet soil needs larger ap-

ed soil. Soils rich in organic matter
need more lime than do sandy soils.

Findlay, GA child wonder with
unusual mental powers, has been dis
covered In the first grade West State
street school by Miss Helen Gaskill, the
teacher. --'''
He Is Master Roy Fork, aged six,
son of f. l.. Fork, well-driller, resid-
ing on Franklin avenue. While bright
in all his school work, the youngster
is prodigy In mathematics. :;
He knows the calendar by heart
and although given the most. severe
questions with regard to days and
dates, never makes q mistake. If you
tell him your age he can tell In Sec
ond the year you were born, and II
you give him the date of your birth
day, and ask him what day OF the
week ii comes on he replies at once;
correctly and without fail. -.
His ability cannot be attributed to
mental telepathy, for In many In
stances he tells the day Of dates In
last years calendar, which, when you
look them up, you find are right.
Although not customary to teach
children the months and authorizations
of months, Roy had them mastered
when he went to kindergarten, and the
remarkable feature is that he was
never taught.
He is also lightning fast in problems
which deal with addition and subtrac-
ton of the calendar, and catch ques-
lions are easily solved.

connection it says:
Domestic Trade o Feature.
"For the time being it looks as If
the more important subject Of domes-
tic trade had been allowed to take Its
own course. Fewer statistics are pub
lished now Of domestic trade move
ments than formerly. The govern
ment might direct its attention to the
solution Of some of our domestic prob
lens which are woefully behind the
progress for instance Of manufactur-
ing.
''These are not altogether taken in
hand by the interstate commerce COM
mission, which deals almost wholly
with railway rates." says the report.
at Is suggested in some quarters that
the Office of markets In the department
Of agriculture and the bureau Of for
eign domestic commerce in the depart
ment Of commerce might do well TO
cooperate and In tackling some Of the
more vital questions involved In the
loss of great crops for want Of distri-
button facilities and the arrest Of sup
ply In foodstuffs.
'This latter condition has become
so acute that the department Of JUS
tice was finally obliged to take up the
subject and investigate 1t as the result
Of popular demand. Here is q field In
which three departments of the gov
eminent have each hand and none Of
them as yet has worked out anything
that is sufficiently satisfactory to call

Is worth many times our foreign trade
