HOW TO ROUT PLANT LICE.
Cropp-saving Rules Of Massachusetts,
Department of Agriculture.

Plant lice, also known as aphids, aphls
and green fly, have caused gardeners con
siderable annoyance this year. Practically
all vegetables, it appears, are subject TO
attack by various species of plant lice
which, on account of their size, are to n
great extent unnoticed- When, how
ever, conditions are favorable to their in
crease, they are capable of seriously dam
aging the plants on which they feed.
According to a report of the Massachu-
sets department of agriculture, these
small, soft bodied insects occur as winged
and wingless forms and feed by means
of jointed beak, with which they pierce
plant tissues and suck the sap.
"The species which feed upon yege-
table crops live for the most part ON the
under surface of leaves. Plant lice re-
produce so rapidly under favorable con-
| ditions that they are capable of seriously
weakening and even killing their host
plants in short time, unless checked by
natural enemies or by the application of
control measures"
| Regarding control the department
says: Since plant lice do not feed on
the exposed portion of the leaf, stomach
poisons, like arsenate of lead, are useless.
| Therefore a contact insecticide is neees-
sary. Nicotine sulphate sprays will
readily kill these soft bodied insects.
1T should be remembered that this is
contact insecticide and kills only the in.
sects. actually touched 1t is therefore
necessary to be very thorough in spray
ing for the control of plant lice. Spray
ing should be done promptly, as soon as
these pests appear and before they have
Icurled and seriously injured the leaves
Soap preparations are also of value il
controlling plant lice in small gardens
i The state department gives this for.
mula for large gardens: One-half pint
nicotine sulphate 40 per cent, 2 pounds
of hard soap dissolved in boiling water
and so gallons of water.
For spraying small number of plant.
the following mixture is recommended
Zone and one-half teaspoons of nicotin,
, sulphate t40 per cent, two-thirds of al
ounce of hard soap dissolved in boilin,
water, and one gallon of water"
1t is also stated: Soaps of mos
kinds are valuable as sprays for killing
plant lice. Both potash soft and sod
/ (hardl soaps are used at the rate of one
half pound in one to two gallons ofWatel
Whale-oil or fish-oiI soap are sold as in
isecticides, and when used at the rate %
2 Lone pound. in six tozten gallons of waite
prove efficient in controlling plant liet
leaf hoppers, thrips, young squash bug
{ etc"

SHOCK TO GERMANS.
Implicit Belief in Admiralty Reports
Shaken

AMSTERDAM, July 29.-Implieit be-
lief in the veracity of German admiralty
reports received rude shaking in Ger
many when the German public had to
be told that it was not the American
transport Leviathan formerly the Ger
man liner Vaterland), but the White
Star liner Justicia, which was sunk last
Saturday off the north coast of Ireland.
The Leviathan measures $4,000 gross
tons more than did the Justieia.
The Lokalanzeiger of Berlin deems
it necessary to declare that it would
be entirely wrong to jump at the
conclusion that German U-boat COM
manders habitually overestimate the
tonnage sunk. The newspaper, which
treats the official report as an ex-
ceptional and an excusable lapse, ad-
mits, however, that German figures on
sinkings generally are based on elm
dications which are fallible to the
trained mariners eye, as in present
methods of warfare it is, in majority
of cases, impossible definitely to es-
tablish a ships identity" The Lo
kalanzeiger hopes, however, that Water
land will be caught yet-sooner OF
later
Other Berlin newspapers, which al
ready had spoken of the United States
having to foot the bill for the de
struction of the Leviathan, refraine6
from comment pending the verbal re
port of the U-boat commander, which
the German admiralty says, must b'
awaited.

The Cuckoo.

Several of sour English birds we've
objects of superstition, in the middle
ages, and none moro SO, than the
cuckoo. Our forefathers looked upon
1t as the harbinger of spring, and as
the merriest songster of summer. and
II is the subject of the oldest Of Eng
lish popular songs now remaining.
1t is the popular belief in many
parts of the country that the cuckoo
made Its first appearance on April 20.
It is a popular belief in Norfolk that
whatever you are doing the first time
you hear the cuckoo, that you will do
most frequently all the year.

ONE HORSE SHAY IN STYLE
Gasoline To Make One Cent Advance
Again

The old time "horseless wagon IS
out of style, or rather will be, and
the zone boss shay" is to be the fad.
Gasoline is to make another jump
of one cent per gallon and many
motorists are threatening to stop
running their automobiles for the
duration of the war.
The fuel administration announc-
ed today that it has advised the ma
tional petroleum war service com
mite, dominated by the Standard
oil interests, that 1T will not object
to an increase of one-half cent a gal
lon in the wholesale tank wagon
market price Of gasoline, naptha, and
refined oil thruout the entire United
States, effective tomorrow morning.
The reason for this advance is the
recent increase in railroad rates
thruout the United States.
Gasoline in Abilene is now 22.3
cents per gallon. The new price here
will be 23.3 cents,
