YELLOW FOLIAGE DUE TO
WORK OF SPIDER MITES

Much of the premature yellow
ing and dropping of foliage on beans,
fruit trees and other crops is due to
the work of minute spider mites
working on the under surface of the
leaves.
A careful examination will reveal
these minute creatures running
about over finely spun webs and the
evidence of their injury is found
in the yellowing and dropping Of
.hc foliage.
Poison and nicotine sprays have
little value against The pest. Sui
fur in some form is the ideal treat
mcnt. There are several CONNER
?ial sulfur sprays on the market. Sui
fur dust may be blown onto the un-
Ger surface of the leaves or small
amount of sulfur may be mixed into
a paste and then dilute it for use at
the rate of one ounce of sulfur to
one gallon of water.

SHIP BUILDERS NEED
BLACK LOCUST WOOD

Farmers who have good locust
timber, suitable for the manufacture
of ship treenails, will do well to
communicate with the purchasing
division of the Emergency Fleet cor
poration, which announces that It
will give prompt attention to in
quiries from those wishing to be put
in touch with treenail manufactur-
ers.
The shipbuilding program of the
government has enormously increas-
ed the demand for treenails, or trun-
nels, which are used in wooden ships
much as dowels were used in old
fashioned frame construction work.
They are huge wooden nails, from
2 to feet long, which fasten tobeth-
er the planking or outer shell of the
hull, the frames, or skeleton, and
the ceiling, or inner shell. Most OF
the treenailg used in this country
are made of black locust, or yellow
locust, as the tree is often called.
They must be made of straight grain
cd wood, which combines density,
hardness, strength and durability,
which does not shrink much, and will
not split readily; and locust is pre-
eminently the wood that fills the
bill.
What the farmer can expect for
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1918-09-05

his locust will vary with the grade
OF the timber and the cost of laying
Il down at the mills. Some manu-
;acturers buy the timber on the
stump, others by the cord or thous-
and feet, in which case the farmer
can do the cutting himself. Select
ed stock will bring the best prices
especially when the manufactures
has drawn his specifications high so
as to get the best grades only.
Owners of locust desiring to be
nut in touch with a treenail manu-
facturer should address the purchas-
ing division, Emergency Fleet cor
poration, Northwestern Bank build
ing, Portland, Ore Full Information
should be given as to the nature of
the timber, its approximate quality
and the location with reference TO
the nearest shipping point. The
name of the railroad serving the
shipping point should also be given.

PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOLS
WANT MILITARY CAMPS

To save the high schools of Port
land from becoming girls seminar
les, the school board has enlisted the
aid of the state council of defense to
intercede with Secretary Baker and
Provost Marshal General Crowder
for the establishment Of a students
army training corps, or its equiya-
lent, in the high schools.
From the recent outlook the Port
land high school will probably lose
more than $50 boys of is to the UNI
versity of Oregon, the State Agricul-
tural college and Willamette college
where the student armies will be es-
tablshed this fall. When there IS
added to this the large number of
boys who have entered industries in
the past few months the high schools
bid fair to become institutions of
the old female seminary" type.
Recently J. X Kollock. secretary
OF the state council of defense, wired
Washington, D. c., asking what pro-
vision, If any, had been made for
military training in the high schools
to meet the competition of the col
lege student army. The reply, which
evidently misinterpreted Mr.. Koi
locks wire, suggested that an in
structor from Reed college be loaned
to the high schools.
This is not what we want"
said Kollock we want the high
school bog of is to be placed in the
rame>status as the college boy who
VIII receive the rank of private, his
uniforms, $50 a month and the class
ification of D-5 until he is 21. l
wired a reply asking II it would be
Iossible for the 1S-year-old high
school boys to enroll IN the Reed col
lege student army and finish their
high school training At present the
high school boys are planning to en-
Ter the colleges as specials, or where
their credits will permit, as condi-
toned students in order to escape
Icing termed slackers.
THE high school situation will
actually become acute if some ar
rangement is not made said Sup.
erintendent Grout. AN alarming
number of boys over II, the com
lulsory school age, have entered in
lIstrial fields and if the present rul-
ing is going to take all our 1S-year-
old into the colleges before they are
really prepared for college work, it
is hard to predict just what is going
to become of the high schools"

HOW AIRMEN GUIDE
MACHINES AT NIGHT


The most frequent question ask
I'd an aviator is, How can you see
TO guide your machine at night?"
The answer is, by looking" On
moonlight night an airman can see
olmost as much as he can in the day
time. From a considerable height
villages, roads, canals, railways, and
even farms, groups Of buildings,
hridges, factories and trenches are
dirtinctly visible. The only differ
enee from day time visibility is that
the airman cannot see so far, his
range OF vision being limited, except
for large objects, to two or three
niles.
On dark nights considerably less
can be observed, but forests, canals.
towns, rivers, roads, and railways
can be seen within a radius of about
a mile Of the machine, and even with
Out the use Of instruments the course
can generally be followed with ease.
Soma airmeR rely chiefly upoa
their compass, knowing before they
leave the ground their course and
the strength and direction Of the wind
and how they will have to steer TO
alicw for the drift" They then
merely use landmarks as checks to
their compasses. Others rely chief
ly on following the country and see
ing prominent landmarks, especially
when the district is well known TO
them, and only use the compass as
IN occasional rough check
The most conspicuous OF all land
marks in any weather is water, es-
pecially in the form Of canals or
rivers, a fact which renders very
easy the Germans task Of finding
London on moonlit or dark nights.
They know when they leave their
coast that they are certain to see the
English coast line, however dark the
night is, and that by following II
northward OF southwark, as the cas-:
may be, they will come TO the estuary
of the Thames.
The difficulties Of navigation, how
ever. do not end with the finding Of
the objective and the dropping Of the
bombs. The airman has to return
and find his aerodome and land, and
it is here very often that the diff
Guilty begins.
ariel lighthouses are used for this
purpose by The Germans. Each has
q different code, like ordinary light
houses for sea navigation, and can
to seen easily 20 miles off on clea,
night They also use the greer
lall," firing a fixed number at Ger.
rain fixed places.
AS these mount to 10000 feet, Il
IS probable that those fired from
the Belgium coast can actually bt
seen by German machines high ovel

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
10 sugar necessary in the diet?


Neither cane nor beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet allthesugar needed may ordl-
narily be supplied by using honey, srups fresh pre-
served and dried fruits.
What the general sugar saving rules?
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and
sweet cakes The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups
Cultivate taste for fruit in its natural sweetness
Sugar is fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar. Sugar
exces them as an energy-food only because it pro-
duces energy quickly. They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need
How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone?
Two pounds per month means about ounces per
week. or little more than ounce day. This daily
ration is q trife than tablespoons level full.
1t should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsoever-tor table
use, cooking, in ice cream and desserts on cereals or
fruit in sugar sirups used on griddle cakes etc.

Full Surrender Flag
Is Hoisted by Club
St. Nicholas Members Show
Just What Their Associates
Are Fighting TO Win

There is no yellow streak TO quail
fy the sentiment of the st. Nicholas
Club in favor of unconditional surrcn-
der So every one would understand
that perfectly, the members raised a
new flag from the second floor of their
clubhouse yesterday.
When the Unconditional Surrender
Club movement, now sweeping over the
country, first took form in New York
ITS proponents opened headquarters at
~ West Forty-fourth Street. The st.
Nicholas Club is al West Forty
fourth Street, and the proximity OF
location, as we'll as the harmony Of
IDEAS on the peace question, caused the
after organization to decide it would
he we'll to let It's feelings be known.
Accordingly an unconditional sur
render flag was designed from the club
colors white, blue and yellow and flung
70 the brcezes of West Forty-fourth
Street. that all who passed might take
notice the st. Nicholasites were sturd-
Ivy opposed to any compromise with
lie enemy
The fact that the wide, flaming yell
low border of the flag lent something
of an air of incongruity to the symbol
however, caused dissatisfaction among
the members.
The offending color has been elm
aied from the new flag A large white
strip with Unconditional Surrender
in blue letters was attached to tho end
Of the clubs service flag, and this en-
h'cm Of what the organization has
gwen 10 America and of what it is dc
lelmincd to keep on giving, was hostcd
yesterday with appropriate ceremonies.

there are three gold stars ON it.
