Barred From Mails, At

and Others

John Devoy's Gaelic American" al
ready barred from the mails, has been
sent to Washington, it was learned
yesterday, to permit officials to exam
inc an article which appears in the
number dated June 8, 1918. The arti-
Gle in question takes up the entire
front page of the publication and is
an arraignment of Great Britain, "the
Anglomaniac press" Mr. Lamar, solic-
itor for the Postoffice Department,
Postmaster General Burleson and an
unnamed but vilihed assistant in the
Department of Justice.
The action of Great Britain in ar
resting several hundred Irish recently
is assailed as an injustice and the ex-
planation that their arrest was neces-
sary to forestall second revolt, is
called frame-up. The head, which
stretches the width of the page, is:
"Waging War on Ireland and Irish
Citizens"
"The text is summed up in the SUBJ
head which follows:
RelentleSS hostility to Irish lib
erty displayed in the Anglomaniat

Owner, if Speeding,
Guilty as Chauffeur

Magistrate Frederick B. House, pre-
siding in the Traffic Court, was elated
yesterday over a decision by the Ap-
pellate Division in Brooklyn holding
that the owner of an automobile is
equally guilty with his chauffeur for
violating the speed laws if in the car
at the time of such violation.
The case decided was an appeal
taken by District Attorney Lewis, Of
Kings County, from a decision by
County Judge May who, on appeal, had

technical difficulties had arisen at
Washington.
The names of chartered ships could
not be changed, an official said. The
society decided not to let the matter
drop, but to appeal again to the Rail-

Say Draft Dodging
Shows a Decrease

In spite of the fact that less than
$4,000 twenty -olds, instead of
the $4,000 expected, registered in New
York on Wednesday, draft officials be-
lieve that the proportion of dodgers
was smaller than IN the registration
of 1917.
Navy recruiting Offices are closed to
the new registrants by an order re-
ceived from Washington yesterday by
Martin Conboy, director of the draft
for New York. The order affects this
city little, if at all, for the rule here
has been that no man of draft age may
enlist or be inducted until he has re-
ceived his red ink number and his clas-
sifcation.

T0P-W0RKING OF PEACH TREE
Change Of One Variety to Another May
Be Done by Shield Budding or
by Grating.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agricultural
Sometimes it IS desirable to change
the top of q peach tree from one va
riety to another. A grower may find
after his orchard begins to bear that
he has larger number Of trees Of
some variety than he wants; block
Of trees may prove to be some other
variety than the one ordered; or,
for some other reason, variety is not
we'll adapted to the needs Of the own
er. In such cases he may top-work the
tree either by budding or by grating
to a desirable variety.
The ordinary method of shield bud.
ding is most commonly used for this
purpose. If the tree to be top-worked
is not more than two or three years
old it Is usually practicable to insert
the buds directly into the main limbs
well down toward the point where
they leave the trunk.
If the tree to be top-budded has
reached the age when the bark on the
main limb has become too thick and
firm to be manipulated readily for bud
ding, it is necessary first to head It
back somewhat, as when the top is to
be replaced with new growth of the
same variety, and later insert buds
on the new branches that develop
after the tree has been deheaded.
When this course is followed. the buds
should be inserted In the new growth
as near the trunk as is practicable,
In order to have as large a portion OF
the top as possible Of the new variety.
This is also desirable on account OF
the subsequent management Of the
tree.
Top-working is sometimes done by
grating instead Of budding, the or
dinary cleft graft being generally
used. However, budding is to be pre-
ferred, especially as the wounds made
in grating do not heal readily In the
case of the peach, though when prop
erly done the union of stock and
scion is generally strong enough to
make a fairly serviceable tree. But
trouble resulting from difficulties in
the healing of the wound are likely
to occur.

Poisoned bait has proved to be a
simple, reliable and cheap method OF
destroying .grasshoppers. It is made
up as follows: Wheat bran, twenty

senic, one pound; lemons or oranges,
six finely chopped fruits;' low-grade
molasses, such as refuse from. sugar
factories, or cattle mOlasses, known as

to four gallons. The bran and poison
are thoroughly mixed while dry, the
chopped fruits are then added, and
lastly the molasses and water are
poured over the bait and the whole
thoroughly kneaded: A coarse-faked
bran is most desirable. although where
this cannot be obtained easily ordinary

sirup or MoIasses Essential.
Low-grade, strong-smelling sirup or
molasses Is essential to the entire sue
cess of the undertaking. Crushed ripe
tomatoes, watermelons or lines may
be substituted for the lemons or Or
anges, if necessary. In California and
other semiarid regions water should
be added to the bait at the rate of four
gallons to twenty-five pounds of bran,
as in these climates the bait dries out
very rapidly; and the extra moisture is
necessary in order to attract the grass
hODDers. Five tO seven mounds of the
mixture should be estimated per acre.
