Philadelphia

can lyricize ornately
OF the city that sedately
Stands upon the western bank OF
Delaware,
For / know a Lloyd, Norris
And a Rittenhouse and Morris,
And I'm quite at home on Independ-
ence Square.
In the reign of Charles the Second
Where the leafy forest beckoned
1t was founded by a certain William
Penn,
Whom the people speak quite well
of;
And YOU also hear them tell of
Mr.. Franklin, known familiarly as
Ben"
There are many colored voters,
And a reckless mob of motors,
And the streets are Market, Chest
nut SpruceN and Pine.
The descendants of the Quakers
Buy their pins at Wanamaker's
And the Stratford is the proper place
to dine.
When you pass the outer
bound'ries
OF the textile mills and foundries,
Fairmount Park will yield content
ment to the soul.
All the suburbs are alluring;
And their roads are fine for tour
ing,
Though at every other mile you pay
a toll.
Where the trees in April quicken
On the lovely Wissahickon,
Or in winter where the Schuylkill
full of slush,
Cuts the city through the middle
One may even see Biddle,
A Cadwallader, a Shipper or a Rush!
You should tarry there and
grapple
With the mysteries of "scrapple"-
A conglomerate of flour, herbs and
pork.
Philadelphia, not to quiz 1t,
Is a pleasant place-to visit;
Which is what the natives say about
New York.

CROP PEST LETTER
BY Prof. ]. G.. Sanders, State
Economic Zoologist
THE APPLE WORM


At least one-half of our apple
crop Is ruined each year by the
apple worm or codling moth. The
loss each year is at least three
or four million dollars in Pennsyl-
vania alone. Two broods occur
each year. The second brood
causes great damage to the half
grown crops. while the first brood
causes the heavy June drop"
Apple trees should be sprayed
with combination of lime-sul-
phur, one and one-half gallons to
fifty gallons of water, with one
and one-half to two pounds of
powdered lead arsenate added.
Apply first spray four to eight
days after the petals fall: second
spray two weeks later; third
spray about last week of July or
first week of August, in cooler
parts of the State. These sprays
will control foilage-eating pests
as well. Dormant sprays of lime
sulphur for scale are necessary
and advisable.

Let Him Name One
tor of the Telegraph

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Let Mitch" Palmer name one
member of the exemption boards un-
fit for service and Governor Brum-
baugh will see to his removal. The
Governor, by the way, is not quite so
narrow as Palmer l notice that he
has named for office one of the men
said to have given Palmer the infor-
nation on which he bases his absurd
charges. This man Is a Democrat.
The Governor did NOT have to name
him, yet he did so after the senate
had once turned the nomina ton
down. Is this playing the kind of
partisan politics Palmer partakes Of?
Would Palmer name a Republican
under such conditions? His past
record does not indicate that he
would. FAIR PLAY.

THE Manhattan district Just at

the sudden rise in Manhattan stocks
is more than warranted by the won.

greatest it has ever been and the
