POTATO CROP MENACED by THE
GREEN APHIS

Serious damage probably will be
done the second crop Of potatoes and
other late vegetables in Mason coun-
ty, unless farmers and gardeners i'm
mediately take steps to combat the
green aphis, or plant louise, which is
in unusual numbers in the
gardening section surrounding Mays
vile. The insect ordinarily confines
its depredations to towering plants
and some sorts of trees, but usually
favorable weather conditions this
spring have enabled it to extend its
scope of ruin to vegetables.
The louise is tiny, green bug. 1t
fastens itself underneath a leaf, and
absorbs the juices which give nour-
ishment to the growing plants and
vegetable crops. Soon after its ap-
pearance the leaves begin to wither
and curl up, and in short time the
entire plant either becomes stunted
or dies off. A tobacco solution spray
ed under high pressure is said to be
the only remedy for the pest. The
green aphis has done much damage in
the neighborhood of Cincinnati this
year.

A corporation. known as the Shoe
Shield Company, with capital stock
of $5,0O000, with shares of par val
ue of $25 each, has been organized by

.eveloping a patent of John S. Orr.

wear on the sole. Mr.. Orr made a
rip to Washington several weeks ago
nd consulted the War Department

20 use his patent on the soldiers shoes,
The Government officials were i'm
pressed with its practicability and
have sent a dozen pairs Of shoes to be
equipped with the shoe shields. 1t is
the intention of the War Department
to give the patent thorough try-out
Diee ora now beinp made IN make the
shields and it is only question OF
time until the manufacture Of the
shields will commence. Mr.. Orr be-
lieves that these shields will find
ready sale among the farmers and all
other class of laborers. They can be
sold at retail from 35 to 30 cents pei
