rig required for busting is much lighter to
haul, one horse only being required where
two would be necessary for liquid spraying

busting has passed the experimental stage

state having used it largely for several
years As Cooling Moth spray, which is
the one we have Just given. l consider it,"
says Mr. Dudley. more effective even than
the liquid spray"
In bulletin which Mr. Dudley is now pre-
parlns and which will probably be issued in
September, full information and directions
concerning busting will be given.

Fourth Liberty Loan

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan will begin September
28 and will close October 10. The
result of the"1oan will be watched
with keen interest in Europe, not
only by our associates i'll the war
against the Teutonic powers but by
our enemies. It will be regarded
by them as a measure of the An1eri-
can peoples support of the war.
The Germans know full we'll the
tremendous weight and significance
of popular support of the war, of
the people at home backing up the
Army in the field. As the loan
succeeds our enemies will sorrow;
as it falls short they will rejoice.
Every dollar subscribed will help
and encourage the American SOL
diers and hurt and depress the
enemies of America.
The loan will be a test of the
loyalty and Willingness Of the peo-
pie of the United States to make
sacrifices compared with the will
ingness of our soldiers to do their
part. There must be and will be
10 failure by the people to measure
up to the courage and devotion Of
our men in Europe. Many of them
have given up their lives; shall we
at home withhold our money? Shall
we spare Our dollars while they
spare not their very lives?
