In the springtime twas said if you'll
do as we say, and plant to early po-
tatoes you can pay off that debt and be
glad of the day that you planted to
early potatoes.
Tho prices were high and many
complained then too, of the cold back
ward spring; but smiles they were
many when warm weather came, and
they thought of the price spuds would
bring.
But the day is at hand when to mar
ket they take the potatoes they've
grown everywhere. And the weather
is hot and the prices they make all
resolve to plant spuds with more care.

GET AFTER THE
WORMS SAYS POWELL
Spraying for Second Brood Of
Cooling Moth Should Begin
Early Next Week

District Horticultural Inspector L.
Powell has issued the following bulle-
tin to fruit growers:
The spraying dates for the second
brood of the codling moth are as fol-
lows:
For Kennewick, Richland, Hanford,
White Bluffs. Benton City, Pasco, At
Italia and Two Rivers, are from July
oath to August LIST.
The second brood of worms will be-
gin entering the apples in each of the
localities as per the dates given. If
the orchardist is close observer him.
self, he may be able to Judge whether
there are sufficient worms entering the
fruit to justify this spraying. / speak
of this because if every orchardist in
the county would have done thoro
job putting on the calyx spray, and
then followed up with the two sprays
for the first brood of worms, accord
ing to the notices given, he should
have gotten practically all of the first
brood, and then there would have been
none left for the second brood.
The worms when they begin enter
ing the apples are very minute, and
are almost invisible and it will take
close observation to detect them. How
ever, the grower who makes it a bust
ness to study his orchard and famil-
iarizes himself with these pests, can
very readily detect them and know
when to put on the spray so as to get
the best results.
Do not Judge the number of worms
in your own orchard but by the num-
Der in your neighbours orchard. If
he says he hasn't any worms and is
not going to spray, do not let that be
the deciding feature as to whether you
will or will not spray. If you did not
spray thoroly enough to control the
first brood the worms that got past
you will be a pest in the orchard until
the crop is picked and it will be neces-
sary to keep the apples covered with
the spray all the time from about the
first of August until shortly before
picking time.
Therefore, the spraying for the Sc
cond brood of worms should be applied
according to the above dates, unless
you as the owners of the orchards, feel
sure that it is free from worms.
From the first of August on until
picking time the Rome Beauty and
other large varieties should be sprayed
every Is to 20 days and the Winesaps
and smaller varieties every 20 to %
days.

TEST SHOWS ALCOHOL ..~
BAD FOR MARK SMANSHIP
rBy Associatad pressl

MUNICH, Gefmany.-Tests recent
ly conducted by the Bayarian ministry,
of waraupon the effects Of alcohol on
.marksmanship were carried out by 20
marksmen on 20 test days, the total
number Of shots fired being over 3d.
900. The results showed, according
to Prof. DR.. Kraeplin whose report on
the subject Is reprinted in the Mill
tary Weekly, an average falling off in
craftsmanship Of about three per cent
as the result of the consumption Of
40 grams of !. alcohol, corresponding
roughly to the amount contained in a
liter of beer. The effect was most
perceptible Is to 80 minutes after alb
sorbfng the alcohol. Most of the
marksmen shot even worse than, the
average, several of them eight, 10
and even IL per cent worse. One Of
the amusing sidelights on the tests
was that several Of the riflemen in
sisted not only that they could but
actually were shooting better after
getting. the spirits while in reality
their craftsmanship had fallen off as
much as 10 per cent.

Newspaper Article Shows What
. Prohibition is Doing in
Cedar Rapids

CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia, Dec 30. -
When the repeal Of the mulct law by
the last legislature wiped an item
OF $4,000 saloon license from
the city treasury. city officials as we'll
aG taxpayers we're at a loss to know
how the deficit caused thereby was to
be made up. Retrenchment I'm every
branch Of the city government was
imperative, and heads OF departments
at once set about shaving their pay
rolls and reducing their fixed charges
OF operation.
And figures for the first calendar
year of a saloonless Iowa, compiled
this 365th day Of 1916, show that the
net operating expenses Of the police
department has reduced the deficit by
$59G5. 45-almost 10 per cent Of the
total.
That is the answer-in terms Of
dollars and cents--to the question Of
effective prohibition in Cedar Rapids.
Crime has lessened in the same pro-
portion and the cost Of a clean city
has likewise decreased, until the po-
lice department can prove by figures
that IL has now been able to meet al
most one-tenth of the loss from liquor
revenue.
Inc exact cost of crime not bred OF
the saloon would be almost impossible
to determine. Then one would neces-
sarily have to take into account the
expense Items incurred in the justice
courts. the district courts, the county
jail. the office of the attorney gem
eral. and the whole would resolve 1t.
self into an unwieldy, indigestible
mass of figures. Though II would be
safe to assume a proportionate de-
crease in the county without a pro-
portionate deficit incurred in its cot.
fers, let the statistics of the city OF
Cedar Rapids suffice for the present.
Arrests Decrease Half !

MAKING
AFTER WARPLANS
IBy Associated Pressl

LONDON, Eng.-labor and capital
have joined hands to work out q
scheme for reinstating in civil employ
ment after the war the men now Eli
ployed In the field or in munition fac
tories. The number of persons now
on government payroIls who will be
discharged after peace Is declared is
from 5000. 900 to 5000, 900, seven
eighths Of whom are men. This repre-
sents nearly half the wage-earning
population of the United Kingdom.
May Take Years
Rehabilitation may extend over
several years. The process will prob
ably begin with the munition workers,
many of whom are liable to discharge
at short notice. Army dISbandment
must proceed slowly, and unless nor
NAL conditions are speeded up. will be
very gradual.
" The employers decided to combine
with labor in working out this indus
trial reform scheme after the labor
men, through the joint labor commit.
tee on labor problems after the var,
had formulated a list of concessions
for the men. This committee is
representative of all the big labor Or
CARNATIONS in the country.
For Munition Workers
The committee urged that the gov
eminent should make workers in
munition and other war trades the
same kind of provision as has been
already promised for the discharged
soldier, including: A months leave
an Fun nav fron IN ooy.
place in the United Kingdom, unenl-
ployment benefit available for a year,
and organized facilities for obtaining
fresh employment.
Will Organize Specially
This action led to the meeting Of
leading employers and heads of the
big trade unions. 1t was realized that
II the huge task of getting men back
to their old places after the war was
left to the labor exchanges a collapse
was threatened and trouble sure to
follow. The meeting therefore re-
solved that it was necessary to create
a special organization, consisting
mainly of representatives Of employ
ers and trade unions. Its action is.
taken seriously not only because the
meeting was presided over by Fred
erick Huth jackson, one of the gov
ernors of the Bank of England, but
because of the representative char.
acter of both employer and employed.
The first requisite laid down in, the.
resolutions passed is ''the cordial and
whole-hearted cooperation Of employ
ers and employed" in any scheme for,
dealing with the labor problems. :.
The substance of the resolutions
were: That powers should be obtain.
ed from parliament to set up without
Delay central statutory board to reg.
ulate and supervise la) the reinstate-
ment in civil employment of the pres
ent forces; tb), the settlement in nor
NAL employment, OF civilian workers
now in government or controlled estab.
lishments; (c) any general redistribu.
ton Of labor arising out Of the war.
