CABBAGE WORM MOST
DESTRUCTIVE ENEMY
Spraying Is Effective Remedy in
Combating This Pest.

oned Stalks for Traps.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The common cabbage worm, the most
destructive enemy of cabbage and re-
lated crops In the United States, be-
gins its depredations as soon as the
young plants are set out In the spring
and continues its work throughout the
summer. Control measures, to be eff
fective, should begin as soon as the in
sect makes its appearance.
Although the insect caused the total
destruction of cabbage, cauliflower.
and other crops in large areas ia the
years Immediately after its first ap-
pearance In this country In the sixties.
control measures have now been per-
fected to such degree and adopted
to such an extent that losses need
not be great. Spraying with a solu-
ton of two pounds of powdered arsen-
ate of lead, four pounds of arsenate
of lead In the paste form, OF one pound
of paris green to 80 gallons of water
should be begun as soon as the plants
are set out and should be repeated as
often as examination of the plants
shows 1t to be necessary.
The common cabbage worm is the
larva of white butterfly having black
tipped wings. The butterflies appear
on warm spring days. and continue
about gardens and fields until after
several severe fall frosts. In the Gulf
region they are present throughout the
season. Eggs are laid on cabbage and
related plants where they hatch In from
four to eight days.
The caterpillar is velvety green,
about the color of the cabbage foliage
1t eats voraciously and grows rapidly
becoming full grown in from ten to
fourteen days after Matching. Three
generations occur each season In the
northeast and probably six In the ex-
IRENE South. The first generation usn.
ally develops on wild plants.
Hand picking may be practiced sue
cessfully In small gardens. Where
sprays are employed they should be
applied in fine mist, since coarser ap-
plications tend to gather in drops on
the leaves and run off.
Community action In combating the
cabbage worm is desirable wherever
cabbage and related crops are grown
extensively. Agreements should be
entered by the truckers of the comma
nifty for each to spray throughout the
season and to carefully clean the fields
Of the bulk of the old stalks as soon as
the crop Is harvested. A few stalks
should be left at regular intervals as
traps on which the last generation Of
female butterflies will deposit eggs.
Such stalks should be poisoned freely
with arsenicals so that the worms of
the last generation will not develop.

Disguised Motorman.

A young woman accompanied by a
little boy, signaled State street car at
Schiller street. The conductor gave
the customary two rings and the car
started. At the same moment a man
rushed from the sidewalk, waving his
arms frantically at the motorman and
pointing to something under the rear
wheels Of the car.
The motorman turned pale as he
clamped down the emergency brake
and brought the car to such a sudden
stop that it knocked the heads Of pas

ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES

Of Washington.

They are college-bred roses and their
high education seems to have had a
very elevating effect on their aspira-
lions. Students on the University of
Washington campus recently noticed
on an uncovered wall of Denny hall,
way up on > level with the third floor
windows. spray Of coppery roses, the
Seattle Post Intelligencer says. The
branch which bears them reaches out
from the heavy ivy vines and is the
only sign Of a rosebush In the neigh
borhoOd.
Some curiosity was aroused as to
whether the flower was grated on the
Ivy or whether 1t was rooted In the
wan. Neither supposition was found
to be correct. A number of years ago
the rose blossomed modestly near the
ground. Then either the erowding of
the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired
~ the intellectual surroundings
forced 1t to shoot up so that 1t could
extend It's blossoms to the sun Just

German General STAT.

The German general staff is not the
creation of the kaiser. 1t is the Gre
alton of the army, and in Germany
the army is the nation. In the old
days, when the principality Of Bran
oenburg was becoming the state of
Prussia, 1t was the elector who gov
erned with unchecked, autocratic au-
thority. Even when Brandenburg had
become Prussia the kings of Prussia
dominated and owned the country as
completely as the head Of the house
dominated the family. or the manu-
fecturer owned his business. The cab
met Of the great elector, the tobacco
parliament Of Frederick William, the
fofsdam library Of Frederick the
Great. these have merged into the Of
nces OF the general staff, in which

state to the army. and of the army to
