The high school girl who handles
carfsre and lunch money for the
first time usually does not know

fault exactly, because II she had
been used to managing even a
small allowance she would be bet

never given her an allowance,

Each housewife might put a price

WOOL IS PR0BE.D
1t Is Alleged That Plan WaSI
Under Way to Get Control,
of Stock for Shipment After
War.


New York, March 14.--An investi-
cation to determine whether certain
American wool manufacturers have
been parties to a German plot to cor
gin here tomorrow under the direction
of Merton f. Lewis, attorney general
for New York state.
The investigation resulted from a
perhsal of papers belonging to Hugo
Schmidt, New York banker, now in
termed as an enemy alien. Schmidt
was the so-called "paymaster" in this
country for Bolo Pasha, now under
sentence to death for treason in
France.
Eugene Schwerdt, a wealthy wool
merchant of New York and Boston,
was arrested here February 25 in
connection with the wool boarding
plan. lie is to be interned.
According to Alfred II. Becker,
deputy attorney general, Schwerdt
was Schmidts "chief of staff in mat.
ters relating to textiles in this connec-
tion. 1t is alleged to have been the
intention Of Schwerdt and his asso-
ciates to minimize the effects Of a pos.
sible British economic embargo
against Germany after the war by
making it possible for German in
terests to hoard great stocks of wool
which might be sent to Germany
when peace is concluded.
When embargoes were imposed to
prevent shipments of wool from
reaching Germany, Sehwerdt and his
associates are alleged to have made
wool purchases through Americans
holding import licenses who acted as
nominal buyers.

HARM BY BLACKBERRY BOREF
Spraying Is of No AvaiI-Cutting an
Burning at Time OF Regular
Pruning is Favored.

The blackberry cane borer has beet
Feriously troublesome in many parts q,
the country recently, killing the cane;
and thus running the chances of Ght
crop. No spraying is of any use, Dul
l find cutting and burning does tht
trick, says 4 writer in an exchange
There are two ways Of doing thi.
work. One is to look for, cut off ant
burn all the SWellcd parts of the black
berry canes at the time OF the regu
lar winter or early spring pruning
There is no miStaking these SWellings
because they are fully double the Oh
ametcr of the cane itself. 1t is moi
necessary to bother with the whCle
cane-juSt the SWeiled part with az
inch or two above or below the swell
ing. The cut pieces may be easily
carried in d basket.
Where 4 very serious attack has
occurred, and where other blackberries
are growing in the neighborhood,
have found it 4 good plan to cut of
al the young shoots produced before
the end of June, so as to destroy the
youn% grubS in them. BY that time
ali the adult beetles will have died
so the canes produced during July will
be free from the bOrerS. There is nc
use saving CALLED cane, for it can't
produce Il decent stand Of berries. The
sooner it is burned the better. It is
not necessary to burn the green shoots.
because the bOrers, being footless, can.
not crawl TO new canes, and are also
unable TO live on dead wood

AFTER THE PRUNING is DONE.
Carefully CGathsp Up and Burn AIS
Branches ana Twigs - Cover
Wounds to Prevent Decay,

It is best, after the pruning opera
lions are over, to:
l. Gather up and remove from the
orchard all branches and tWigS that
have been cut off. Burn them. They
afford homes for the diseases and the
insects that will attack your trees if
the rubbish is left on the ground.
2. Cover the wounds with Il coat Of
good lead paint. This helps to keep
out the water and prevent disease and
decay.
3. Spray the trees with solution OF
one gallon commercial lime-sulphur to
nine gallons of water. Spraying just
after pruning reduces the cost of ap-
plying the material, as there is less
brush to cover than at other times.
Moreover, it is just the right season
for the lime-sulphur spray.
The record. (Greenville, Ky.) 1899-1???, 1918-01-17

renewing has been done, and give
three or four more sprayings at inter
walls of two weeks. On badly infested
beds after the crop is OFF,. NOW every
thing down and let it dry and burn Of
when there is brisk wind and follow
with q spraying.
