.RATIONINC ORDER ISSUED BY
 FEDERAL BOARD
Public Consumers and Dis tributors to Be Placed on
 Certificate Basis.

New York, June 25--By the terms of the new sugar rationing order, is sued yesterday by the Federal Food Board at the instance of the National Food Administration, every public consumer and distributor of sugar will be placed on a certificate basis effective July 1. This step is taken to provide a means of enforcing the regulations, something that was lack ing in the sugar reducing orders is sued a short time ago.
 Under the earlier rules Mrs. New York was requested to limit herself to two pounds a month 8 person in her household while her country sis ter was allowed five pounds. The new order makes no such discrimina- tion. It makes the allotment three pounds a month a person, but asks every housewife, whether city or rural to limit herself to this amount as a patriotic duty.
 The private householder, unlike the public onsumer'-meaning ho- tels, restaurants, boarding houses or factories-will not be placed on 8 certificate basis unless her family, in cluding servants, contains twenty-five or more persons. Boarding houses and all other public eating establish ments will be limited to three pounds to every ninety meals served, which is at the rate of three pounds per cap ita a month.
 Effective July l." the new order 5a G. z V are hereby informed that sugar dis | tribution from the refiner down to and l including the retailer will be by cer- tificr tes signed by the Federal Food | Board. The certificates will be ready | for issue July 1.
 "The certificate plan includes re- | liners of sugar wholesale and real stores, hotels and restaurants, clubs and boadding houses, and every fam ] fly in which there are twenty-five or more persons. This includes em- ployes of households whose meals are { served by the employer. The allot- ment to hotels by certificates will be on the basis of three pounds for every ninety meals served There will be no certificates issued to individua | consumers.
 While there will be no rationine i of households--that is, households will not be put on a certificate basis the board wishes every housewife tC know that it is absolutely necessar! that none shall use more than three pounds a person a month. The board has entire confidence in the patriotism of American housewives.
 AS regards wholesalers, wherevel necessary interim certificates will b, issued to replenish stock before tht retailers certificates pass througl | their hands.

THREE COUNTIES THREATENED BY
 TERRIBLE APHIS

At least three counties, Hartford, New Haven and Fairfield, are threat ened with the aphis which is quite as terrible as it's name implies, accord ing to the federal chronological eX- perts who today discussed it's nefar- ious career. The aphis which caused so much damage to potato crops in Connecticut last year has unfortunate ly again made its appearance in the State.
 G. M. Codding, Special Field Ento- mologist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, has located colonies of this pest in New Haven and Fairfield counties and yesterday found large numbers of the lice on both potato and tomato vines in Hartford, proving that it is probably well scattered over the entire State.
 Owing to ideal weather conditions of the present season. says MT. Cod ding, ''this pest has made it's appear ance somewhat earlier than usual and, while it is impossible at the pres ent time to tell definitely whether | the aphis will prove as destructive as last year or not. the indications are | that there is trouble ahead and imme- diate action must be taken to prevent the pests increasing to large numbers. There is but one thing to do and that is to watch the plants very closely if crops are to be brought to maximum yield.
 ''The aphis may be either green or pink in color and is usually found on the stems and on the under side of the leaves, near the top of potato plants. The mother is wingless and is invari- ably surrounded by a large family of young. No eggs are deposited, the young being born alive. They grow rapidly and in about ten days are ma ture and produce more young. Un- der favorable conditions, it is not long before they increase in such quanti- ties that whole gardens are ruined i; l leaves wilt, curl, turn brown and die. Potato growers should keep a sharp watch for these insects and spray as soon as they appear.
 'The aphis is a small insect which obtains it's food by sucking the juices from the plants instead of eating the leaves. and cannot therefore. be con- trolled by the use of arsenate of lead or paris green.
 Spray thoroughly with nicotine so- lution, using one and one half tea spoqpfuls to one gallon of water and to this add Q, one-inch cube of com mon soap as a 'sticker,' or in larger quantities use at the rate of one half to one pint nicotine solution to 50 gallons of water, adding two lbs of dissolved soap. This spray will on- ly kill such aphids as are hit so it is absolutely essential that the plant be sprayed with great care. Most of the lice will be found on the under side of the leaves, and therefore the spray should be directed from below and upwards against the plants from each side of the row.
 By emitting the soap, nicotine sul. phate solution may be combined with either arsenate of lead or Bordeaux
 mixture or both, thereby saving an ex. tra spraying. When used in this man. ner soap is not needed and may cause injury to the foliage if used.'

BECOMES
 OFFICIALLY DRY
 BY SPECIAL. LAW

Austin, Texas, June 26--Texas be- came officially dry today when a bill enacted by a special session of the legislature and which prohibits the manufacture or sale of intoxicants within the state became a law. The remaining saloons-numbering be- tween 300 and 400, according to rec ords in the comptroller's office which were outside the limits prescribed by the 10 mile zone around camps of military instrction, are thus banished.
 Not a saloon brewery or distillery remains lawfully in operation in the state.
 Both interstate and intrastate ship ments of liquor are prohibited by an- other law enacted by the legislature The only way any Texan can get liquor without violating the law is to go out of the state, purchase it and bring 1t back himself for his personal use.
 It is expected that constitutionality of the law will be tested. But since the higher courts of the state recess for their summer vacation the last of the present month, and do no convene again until October, court action de- signed to interrupt enforcement of the law may not be taken for several months
 The chief contention against the laws constitutionality is that it vio- lates that provision which accords To- cal option to counties.
 The law permits the use of alcoholic stimulants a. medicines ''in case of actual sickness if purchased On writ ten prescription of a physician. Use of alcohol also is permitted for sacra- mental, scientific or mechanical pur- poses.
 Violations of any provision of the act constitutes a felony and involves g penitentiary sentence of one to five years.

INTERNATIONAL EGG CONTEST

In the thirty-third week of the lay ing contest at Storrs the Leghorns continued to outlay their competitors among the heavy breeds. Fifty-five pens including Rocks Wyandottes and Reds made yield of 39 per cent, while the 45 pens of Leghorns and Andalusians laid at rate of nearly 46 per cent. for the week. The to- tai production for all pens amounts to 4,203 thus bringing the entire num- Der of eggs laid to date over the hun dred thousand mark. First honors for the week went to a pen of Leg horns belonging to J. O. LeFevre Of New Paltz, N. Y, which laid 60 eggs. Three pens of Leghorns belonging to E. A. Ballard, Chestnut Hill, Pa, and Hollywood Farm, Hollywood, Wash, Clifford I. Stoddard, Woodbridge, Ct., all tied for second place with yield of 57 eggs. They were closely fol- lowed by a pen of "Oregons'' from the Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore, and a pen of Leghor1is belonging to M. T. Lindsay, Mattituck, N. Y, each of which laid 56 eggs.
 r. During June and early July serious losses are known to occur as a result of chickens having eaten rose, chafers The insect is very common at this sea son and in some yaers is to be found in great abundance. Chickens are apparently attracted by the sprawly appearance of the rose chafers an6 feed upon them ravenously Death usually occurs within twenty-foul hours or the birds will begin to i'm prove if the dose has not been large enough to kill From Is to 20 rost chafers are sufficient to kill a weel old chick while about twice as many are necessary to produce a sufficien amount of poison to kill chickens ; weeks old. There is relatively littl, danger of loss from this cause witt chickens nine weeks old or more a! the number of chafers required for z lethal dose is considerably increased
 As the insect feeds upon a larg, number of plants it seems essentia that chickens be kept in moved field and away from yards having grapt . vines and rose bushes during tn, . months when rose chafers are mos numerous.
 fl The three best pens in each of tn principal varieties are as follows: : Barred Plymouth Rocks.
