USE JUDGMENT IN SPRAYING
Many Failures Attributed to Neglect

In spraying one must use very good
Judgment both in applying and in
knowing when to apply and in using a
solution of the proper strength to be
effective. A great many complaints
about spraying not being beneficial
can almost invariably be traced back
to failure to follow few simple
nnd easily understood directions. Sev-

CICADA KILLS FRUIT TREES
As Precautionary Measures Oere'
Planting, Postpone Budding and
Do No Pruning.

The year 1919 is likely to be one
of the worst "locust years" on record.
But entomologists of the United States
department of agriculture see nothing
alarming in the prospect.
The periodical cicada, the real
name of the insect commonly cailei
locust" will appear this year in the
following states: Alabama. District OF
Columbia, Delaware, Georgia. Illinois,
Indiana. Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina. Tennes-
see, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
and Wisconsin.
The injury done by the periodical
cicada consists almost wholly in CHS
cling grooves in the branches of trees
for depositing eggs. This injury al
ways appears to be greater than 1t
actually is. Popular alarm Is usually
out of proportion to general damage.
Young fruit trees are sometimes
killed by the cicada. The precaution-
nry measures are: Defer putting out
young fruit trees till next year; post
pone budding operations; do no prun-
ing this spring.

Berne.-During the war have been

asked how 1t has affected people on

that it has made them more nervous.

addressed the congress he usually ex

overstrained nerves. Several delegates

night, and this testimony was quite
independent, for not one knew what

Sobbing Sickness.
In Austria, for instance, the people
are suffering from what may be called
a sobbing sickness, which is the result
primarily of nervousness. Both men
and women suddenly begin to sob, and
very often continue sobbing even in
their sleep. Some doctors seem to
think this malady Is due to unwhole-
some food. which causes stomach dila-
tion; others attribute it to nervous
ness alone. In some cases this nerv-
BUSINESS has become so acute that peo-
pie have attacks in the night not un-
like an epileptic fit. The sufferer be-
gins by feeling Il choking sensation,
