Billion Dollars Needed
For War in the Air

Washington, June "a billion
dollars probably would be required
to put 100000 American airplanes and
100000 to 100000 aviators into the
war, Allan R. Hawley, president of
the Aero Club of America, today told
a subcommittee of the house military
affairs committee. He declared 25,-
600 aviators could do more toward
ending the war than 100000 addi-
tional soldiers. He endorsed the bill
to establish separate department Of
aeronautics.
What might remain of the 100000
airplanes when peace is restored
could be utilized for commercial pur.
poses, he said A French govern
ment commission now is making plans
for such use.
Mr.. Hawley predicted that the day
Of transatlantic air lines was at hand.
I'VE are now manufacturing air
cruisers capable of crossing the At
lantic and have both the pilots and
the instruments needed for plotting
them," he said.

Meat Unnecessary
sAys H. WATSON, M. D.

Meat is the most expensive article
of diet, and the least necessary. Add
milk. cheese, fruit, fresh fish, to vege.-
table articles and you have a GOOD
diet. The rheumatic should abstain
from meats, or eat very sparingly.
r. ia well-known fact that in gout
serious organic disease of the kidneys
occurs. Such scientists as Futcherr,
Minkowski, Hans, Vogt and Reach
have shown that uric acid in excess is
retained in the blood when the kid
neys do not help excrete this poison.
Uric acid retained within the body
is believed to be the preceding stage
or cause Of Bright's disease: The
excessive use of nitrogenous food or
meats often increases uric acid.
High living, intestinal Indigestion,
constipation, disturbance of the liver,
frequent chilling of the body-all re-
suit in retaining within the body an
excess of uric acid.
The best way to overcome this con-
dition and prevent rheumatism and
gout is to drink plenty Of water, say,
a pint of hot water morning and
night with lemon juice squeezed into
it, and take Anuric double strength)

nor any foreed usurpation Of foreign
territory; peace with no annexation
or contributions, based upon the free
determination by each nation OF its
destinies.
Being fully convinced that the es
tablishment Of democratic principles
in its internal and external policy has
created new factor in the striving
of allied democracies for durable
peace and fraternity of all nations,
the provisional government will take
preparatory tteps for an agreement
with the allies founded on its declara-
ton of March 27.
"The provisional government is
conscious that the defeat of Russia
and her allies would be the source Of
the greatest misery and would not
only postpone, but even make impos-
sibe the establishment of universal
peace on a firm basis. The provi-
sional government is convinced that
the revolutionary army of Russia will
not allow the German troops to de-
stroy our allies on the western front
and then fall upon us with the whole
might of their weapons. The chief
aim of the provisional government
will be to fortify the democratic foun-
dation of the army and organize and
consolidate the army's fighting power
for its defensive as we'll as offensive
purposes.
"The last decision of the Russian
congress of the workingmen's and sol
diers' delegates, the decision of the
all-Russian peasant congress, the de-
cision of the Duma, the voice Of the
country as expressed from day to day
by almost the entire Russian press, in
resolutions adopted at different con-
ferences and congresses-all these
confirm their full support to this ma
tional program and leave not the
slightest doubt that Russia is decided
as to the necessity to fight the Ger
man autocracy until the conditions for
a general and stable peace in Europe
are established.
"Such decision is becoming more
and more evident each day by prac-
tical work and results and shows it.
self in the pressing and rapid reor-
ganization of the army, which is now
being fulfilled under the firm and eff
ficient measures adopted by Minister
Kerensky.
"The Russian people thoroughly
understand and fully are convinced
that it is absolutely necessary TO root
out the autocratic principles which
underlie and are represented by Ger
man militarism and which threaten
the peace, the freedom and the hap
piness of the world. The Russian peo-
pie feel most keenly that no stable
peace can be secured until the German
autocratic principles are destroyed
and that otherwise the revolution will
have been in vain and its achieve
ments will perish.
New Russia, in full accord with the
motives which impelled the United
States to enter the war, is striving to
destroy tyranny, to establish peace on
secure and permanent foundation
and to make the world safe for
democracy.
"We are representing the political
unity which has been crystalized in
Russia and around which a national
program has been developed. To our
host of friends in the United States,
we appeal and without distinction of
party or class we will work hand in
hand for the common cause"

PLANTING GRAPES IN
SPRING Is FAVORED
They Are Particularly Adapted to
Farm Gardens, or Trained
Over Wire TreIIis.

Grapes will grow almost anywhere,
and are very sure bearers. They are
particularly adapted to the farm gar
denS, or even have place in the yard
along the fence, or trained over a wire
or wooden trellis. They may be plant
but spring planting is to be preferred.
Vines one or two years old may be
used, and the soil firmed about the
roots. Cultivate frequently during the
summer. Wood ashes supply the best
fertilizer for grapes, and as much as
half q bushel can be used for each
vine. Keep the vines growing nicely
and for the first season do no prun-
ing. Early the second spring cut back
the strongest canes to three or four
buds, and remove all the others. In
the spring. after the buds have start
ed, rub off but two of the strongest
and train these as desired. After the
second year, thin out all superfluous
wood, leaving enough to bear 80 or 40
clusters on each vine. There are a
great many systems Of pruning, but
the simplest is the one to be adopted
for the farm garden. A frame trel1is,
or wire strung on properly braced
posts, answers the purpose very nicely.
There are great number of varieties
but some Of the old standbys are the
safest.

HOW TO CONTROL THE GRAPE LEAF FOLDER

The grape leaf folder is distributed
throughout the United States, but is
most troublesome in the central and
middle Atlantic states. 1t attacks both
wild and cultivated grapes and few
other plants, including the Virginia
creeper. 1t is injurious to the fruit of
the grapevines attacked, since it de-
stroys the foliage at time when this
Is most needed to ripen the fruit prop
erIy. Often as much as four-fifths of
the foliage is destroyed.
The moth, of which the grape leaf
folder is the larva, has dark brown,
opalescent wings, bordered with white.
The body is black crossed by two white
bands in the female and one in the
male. The egg is very minute. The
fully grown larva is about an inch

PEACH TREE BORERS
CAUSE LARGE LOSSES
Kansas EntomoIogist Advocates
Mounding and Application
of Protective Wash

The best method of control for the
peach tree borer is a combination of
mOunding, applying q protective wash,
and digging out the larvae with a
sharp knife, according to DR.. J. FL.
Merrill, assistant professor of ento-
molOgy In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and entOmOlOgist in the
Kansas agricultural experiment sta
ton.
1.-THE first thing to do in the spring
is to worm the trees" says Doctor Mer-
rill. "Next apply the protective wash
and then mound to a height of eight
or ten inches. Mounding makes the
female deposit her eggs high up on the
trunk of the tree, and seems to have a
tendency to decrease the number of
eggs deposited.
'"The mound should be removed in
June, and all borers exterminated,
after which the mound should be re-
placed. Another worming should be
made in September but it is not neces-
sary to replace the mound at this time.
ga good protective wash can be
made by adding one pound of arsenate
of lead to FIVE gallons Of lime-sulphur
solution. The former acts as a poison
and the latter as a repellent.
various kinds of wrappers have
been advocated but so far have not
proved very satisfactory. The same
may be said of the large number of
washes which have been suggested or
advertised
The adult moth is a beautiful insect
Most persons because of the shape of
Its body would take it to be a blue
wasp rather than a moth. The fore
wings of the male are transparent,
with veins and edges of steel blue.
The abdomen is steel blue, fringed
with yellow behind. In the female the
wings are Opaque-covered with steel
blue scales-and a broad band of

Winters in larvai State.
The full-grown larva is about one
inch in length. The color is a very
light yellow, with dark, reddish brown
head, and markings just back of the
head and at the tip of the abdomen.
The peach tree borer passes the win
ter in the larval stage. Most Of the
larvae that winter are only half grown,
although some Of them may be fully
grown. The large ones spend the win
ter in their burrows beneath the bark,
while the others usually remain on the
surface, protected by a covering of
silk.

of lead. This may well be applied in a
fungicide such as Bordeaux mixture,
a single application then serving as
treatment for disease and other insect
pests. The first application should be
made shortly after the blossoms fall
In the spring. This should dispose of
the first brood of grape leaf folders eff
fectually, but, If the pest appears later,
the application should be repeated. 1t
is advisable to burn the dead leaves
in autumn, because the insect winters
over in it's pupal stage in the ground
litter. Several parasitic enemies of
the insect have been discovered.
