Of plants 50 that there will be no
other food for the worms than that
which is poisoned.
The following formula which is
recommended BY the United States
department Of agriculture. a be
made effective for Kidding fields and
gardens Of this pest:
One pound OF white arsenic Is mix
90 dry With twenty-five pounds OF
bran. One-half gallon Of low grade
syrup IS mixed in three and one-half
gallons OF water and TO this is added
ionehalf dozen lemons chopped fine.
The bran and arsenic are then wetted
and mixed with the solution after
which the mash is ready for use. This
mash should be scattered over the
ground just before night fall so that
II will be moist and fresh for the in
sects which come 10 the surface and
feed at night.
This amount Of the poison bait is
sufficient TO treat four OF I'VE acres
Of ground. The mash should be scat
tered in small Jumps and be as even
y distributed as possible. Il must Be
borne in mind that this material is a
deadly poison and will kill everything
that eats H. The greatest danger
from its use is that Of killing song
birds Because Of this il is best to
harrow OF rake the ground early the
following morning after the poison
has been distributed. The less rege-
tatiOn there is on the ground al the
time Of treating. the greater will be
the efficiency Of the poison. After
plants are growing in the garden
more than a application may be
necessary 10 kill the worms.
Don't make the mistake OF planting
beans, cucumbers. corn and tomatoes
too early. The hardy vegetables as

scribes this incident Of the engine

SCIENTISTS AIDING IN WAR,
Experts Have Found a New Wor: IN
Which They Are Materially As
sistina the Government.

Secretary Of the Interior Lane, in his
recent annual report, portrays the
transition of peaceful democracy
into a nation organized for war. Pos
session Of resources alone, he warns
the country, does not win wars, and
recOunting the enormous progress
made on every hand declares the phys
ical resources of the United States are
almost completely ut the command Of
the worlds needs.
"'What can you do to serve me?"
quotes the secretary. replying: ''The
answer Of this department is that it
has put every agency and activity
which it has at the service of those
departments more directly concerned
with war-making.
"Our men Of scientific knowledge
metallurgists, chemists, engineers,
typographers-have found new work
at their hands.
'The patent Office has been searched
for new devices that could be brought
into use to kill the submarine or limit
its destruct!veness, for the plans Of
heretofore unused lethal weapons and
for the formulate of improved or un-
known sources of power.
'The scientific bureau Of the gov
eminent found themselves converted
overnight into adjuncts and auxil-
iaries in the great international con-
test. Men who had regarded them
selves as modestly useful only In the
discovering and revealing Of new
sources Of material strength found
that their years of experience in the
mountains and on the desert, in lab
oratOries and in mines, called them at
once into the thick Of the European
struggle"
