Active warfare on the cabbage worm
Is being waged by the growers this
season. Wishing to avoid the huge
losses Of cabbage and caulifiower,
sprays are being used more widely
than ever. In fact, it's the only eco
nomical thing to do. Experience, the
grand old teacher, has taught that the
proper application Of sprays is effec-
tive in controlling the cabbage worm.
Members Of the department of ento-
molOgy at the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture give this information
SPRAY when the worms first ap-
pear. Don't wait until the cabbage is
seriously injured.
Repeat the spray when necessary
to cover new leaf growth and to poi
son worms from later matches. Eggs
for the second Matching are usually
laid early in July and for the third
early in August. Eggs hatch In from
four days to a week.
"Use some kind of 'sticker' In the
liquid spray. Common yellow laun-
dry soap is satisfactory. Cabbage
leaves are smooth and waxy and I'M
less 'sticker' is added to the spray
much of it will roll off the leaves.
Apply the spray in the form Of a
fine mist so that the foliage will be
thoroughly coated with poison.
keep the spray material we'll
stirred or mixed SO that it does not
settle to the bottom of the tank.
Strain spray materials before pIac-
ing in tank to avoid the clogging of
nOZZles."
What to Use in Spraying.
Calcium arsenate, lead arsenate and
paris green all give good results in
controlling the cabbage worm How
ever, calcium arsenate and lead ar
senate are cheaper than paris green
and stick better. Also they show
white on the plants SO that one can

cleS, TO keep we'll, to keep warm, and
they furnish eneSgy for work. These
foods must therefore be selected with
care, cooked simply so that they will
be used completely, and served at
tractively so that the desire to eat will
aid digestion.
THE food taken in by the body
should be free from harmful germ life.
The normal waste material should be
eliminated from the body daily. The
bowels and kidneys are the principal
sewers of the body; they must be in
Eood working order.
Fresh Aid and Sunshine Necessary.
Fresh air is as much a food as
any of the others which are taken into
our body. 1t also acts as a stfmuant
ito the nerves so that health regula-
tion is easier If TO that there is add
ed the disinfecting power of sunshine
I'VE are able to combat most of the
foes that weaken our power to resist
the dangerous infections. Not only
should we spend part of every day
out of doors in useful work, but we
should so clothe ourselves at night
that there can be plenty Of fresh air
circulating through the bedrooms.
THE oxygen of the air is necessary
for US to burn our foods in the body,
Ito give us heat. With plenty of fresh
air and simple food easily digested we
can keep warm even though we burn
less fuel in stoves and furnaces. Take
time to breathe deeply many times a
day.
Sunshine falling directly on blank
let's and mattresses for several hours
each day will keep them safe, even
though germs which are infectious
may be present. This was the first

Political Gossip.

In the Second Judicial Circuit a
three-corned contest has developed for
the Democratic nomination for Chief
Judge between the present incumbent,
Judge William II. Adkins, of Talbot.
appointed by Gov. Harrington to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Venerable. State Senator Omar
ID. Crothers, of Cecil, and T.. Allan
Goldsborough, of Caroline. Tho fact
that this election also fills n vacancy
in tho Court of Appeals gives II State
wide interest.
Thomas j. Heating, of the Casters
Shore, has filed his certificate as o
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Attorney General, and Major
Brooke Lee, Of Montgomery Co.. has
formally declared himself candidate
for the nomination for Comptroller.
This, with Albert &. Richie, OF Balli-
more CITY, Tor Governor, and Caleb
u. Magruder, OF Prince Georges, for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, com
pietes the ticket, which viii be MONT

date had been selected especially To

opinion or rne independent, mitigate
the case against him, and neither does

no draft In cold weather. The front OF
the house should be so high that the
windows or openings will allow the
sun to slime well back into the interior
during the winter. Burlap, unbleached
muslin. or lightweight duck cloth may
be used for curtains In the front. This
cloth should be thin enough to allow
slow circulation of air without
draft. This Is Impossible IL too heavy
a grade OF duck cloth Is used or. IL
the cloth Is oiled or painted.
A large amount OF glass I'm the front
of the house makes II warm during the
day but cold nj night. as glass radIates

ever. is helpful in providing light when
The curtains are closed. Some ventIla-
ton should he given in poultry house
even I'm the eoldest night. II Is usually
best secured by leaving a small win
dow open or having muslin curtains In
the front ef the house. II the house is
shut up tightly without any muslin cur
tains in the front there Is a tendency
for moisture to collect In the house
and condense on the rafters and other
woodwork on frosty mornings. 1t Is
not necessary to close the muslin cur
tains In the front of the house except
In very cold or stormy weather. Hens
are protected by nature with warm
feathers and a high body temperature
so that they are better able to with
stand dry, cold air than warmer air
