A ZONE SYSTEM
FOR PURCHASES

A zone system for the apportion-
ment Of purchases throughout the
United States and to facilitate dis
tribution has been established by
the Quartermaster Department. Ter
ritory has been allotted to each OF
thirteen general supply depots. The
general supply depot Quartermasters
are charged with the duty Of ascer-
tanning the manufacturing posi-
bilities Of their zones.
On the basis Of reports along
this line forwarded to the Acting
Quartermaster General. food and the
equipment for troops at the differ
ent camps will be purchased within
the zone in which the camp Is 10.
Gated.
Formerly nearly all OF a particu-
lar class Of supplies was purchased
through single general supply de-
pot. Other articles were obtained
through other supply depots. Manu-
facturers in sections distant from
the particular supply depot buying
their goods were at a disadvantage.
and were unable to compete with
rivals nearer the point.
Under the new system most class
es Of supplies will be purchased thru
each Of the thirteen depots and
manufacturers will be able to tran
sact their business through the de-
pots nearest to them.
Each general supply depot quar-
termaster besides ascertaining pro.
duction facilities within his zone II
instruced to recommend to the Quar-
termaster Generals office the en-
ployment Of such producers as arc
in his judgment qualified to fulfil
contracts. Each depot is expected t.
keep informed as to the market con
ditions and spot goods located II
that zone. and when shortages &C
cur submit recommendations To-
purchase Of articles which may b.
obtained within the zone.

Ordinary repellent substances such
as kerosene emulsion or carbolic
acid solutions. seem to have very
little effect in preventing the owl
position Of these insects. Some re-
cent experience, however. indicates
that trees thoroughly sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture or hme wash
are likely to be avoided by the cica-
da. especially II there are other trees
or woods in the neighborhood upon
which they can oviposit.
The most reliable means of pro-
tecting nurseries and young ORCH
ards is by collecting the insects in
bags or umbrellas from the trees In
early morning or late evening. when
they are somewhat torpid. Such col
lections should be undertaken at the
first appearance Of the cicada and
repeated each day.
Vigorous young trees often recov-
er In three or four years from the
effects Of a loss Of or injury to. a
considerable percentage Of their
branches. However. 1t is difficult
to overcome the unsymmetrical ap-
pearance which will commonly re-
suit from the indiscriminate pruning
often necessary as result Of the
female insects work.
The worst affected branches
should be removed. The less in
jured limbs may be coated on the
wounded parts with grating wax OF
moderately hard soap. These pro-
tective coverings should be renewed

Brood TX Of the periodical cicada,
commonly known as the 17-year To-
Gust. 10 expected to appear In May
and June Of this year. along the line
Of the Allegheny Mountains In West
virginia. and North Carolina. In the
main, this brood covers . rather
compact territory. extending from
the southern part Of West Virginia
across Virginia into the northern
part of Narth Carolina. There are q
few reports Of occurrences Of this
brbood in Ohio, northern West Vir-
ginia. and Virginia, but these outly-
ing colonies are Of little importance.
The 17-year locust covers in its
range nearly all Of the United States
from the Mississippi Valley eastward.
The curious features of its regular
periodic appearances and its long
subterranean life give 1t perhaps the
greatest popular interest which at
taches to any insect on this CONT
nent, and lead to many inquiries
with every temperance Of any i'm
portant brood. There are two races
OF this insect: (1) The 17-year race,
which occurs in II different broods
over the northern and central Unit
ed States. and (2) the 12-year race,
which occurs In different broods all
over the Southern States from Texas
eastward. When any of these broods
are characterized by great swarms
they naturally cause fears for the
safety of the trees. The actual dam
age however. is slight and is &C.
complished by the female cicada as
she cuts the bark of the tree In

According to a statement by tn,

According to a statement by the
Department of Agriculture, there
has been an actual shortage Of more
than 100000 tons Of sugar annu-
ally since the war began. Prior to
the war practically all Of the bellig-
erent countries except the United
Kingdom and Italy exported sugar
the total amount being more than
100000 tons. In 1918 It is esti-
mated that the allies must import q
minimum Of 100000 tons.
