ANOTHER REASON
FOR HUN DEFEAT

ttron the Sacramento. Calf. STAR
A horrible story q u1speakable Ger
msn atrocity, the victim of which IS q
young American nurse. mas been re-
eeived by " Y. Cowan, secretary Of
the state council Of defense, from Jay
DougheTtY, four minute speaker Of
Vera Cruz The story as told by
Dougherty follows:
Shortly after the outbreak of the
war young woman trained nurse sta
TONED IN northern France was cap
tured by the Germans. For Is months
this woman was kept in the officers
quarters, never allowed 10 leave the
the rooms Ia which she was confined.
She was of 4 proud and spirited race
ard fought yaliantly for her honor.
Every time she was attacked she
tried to scratch out the eyes Of the
officers. They soon found a way to
cure her Of that. She will never
scratch out the eyes of any more Ger
man officers. They cut off both her
hands.
This woman is not 6000 or 1000
miles from here, where her story
would be hard TO verify. When her
condition became such that the Ger
mans no longer cared for her they sent
her back to France. From there she
was brought to the United States. She
is now in a hospital in San Jose, Cal. .
with her hands cut off, waiting to give
birth to child that she doesn't even
know the father of, except that II is
some hyena that calls himself a Ger
man officer.

age likewise was kept free from iufec
ti0n. This latter condition therefore
reduces materially the chances Of new
infection in the spring. owing 70 the
fact that the disease OveFwinters on
the old leaves. This natural advantage
does not warrant the neglect Of proper
spraying. The following OF the regu-
lar schedule, especially IN the early
sprays, will be absolutely necessary
that control be obtained The early
sprays in 1915 will be the important
ones for seab control. The delayed
dormant. pink and ealyx applications
of lime and sulphur cannot under any
condition be dispensed with F.; this will
probably be true Of the Today appliea-
tion. Local conditions viii dictate
further procedure. In the almost
complete lack of infection. which We
can expect provided the earlier appli-
cations have been well timed and thor
ough, it will undoubtedly be possible
to omit the 30-day spraying of lime
and sulphur
In connection with seab control work
that of mildew should reeeive..eonsider-
alton. Powdery mildew IN many sec
tions, especially those in which the
regular lime sulphur applications have
not been used. causes a great deal of
damage to fruit spurs, terminal growth
and to the leaves. In orchards where
mildew has not been allowed to be-
come thoroughly established the regu
lar lime sulphur applications will keep
mildew well in check. When oonce
thoroughly established the addition of
iron sulphide mixture will materially
assist in checking the advances of the
disease. The mildew fungus begins
activities as s03n as the buds burst in
the spring. For this reason. then,
spraying should begin at that time or
when the trees have reached the de-
layed dormant condition. Spraying for
mildew during the remainder of the
season should be timed the same as
tint for scab control.
Our experimental work during the
past two years has included the use of
more dilute mixtures of lime sulphur
in the different applications. Due to
the fact that the past season was not a
favorable one upon which to draw
conclusions. we are not in position to
alter the recommendations ,that were
given out last season. Preliminary re-
suits indicate that the strengths of
several of these applications can be
materially reduced without destroying
the effectiveness of the spray
