The European corn borer undoubt-
edly is serious menace to American
agriculture The United States de-
partment of agriculture has for some
time called attention to the extreme
danger from this pest, which has be-
come well established in both Massa-
chusetts and New York. Now comes
this reinforcement of that judgment

Commissioners of Agriculture, with
official entomologiSts from many
states and representatives of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, together with representatives
Of the Canadian government, present
as experts in conference upon the sit

examining the infested area, as thor
Oughly convinced that this pest is one
Of the most dangerous insects which
has become established in America.
and we hereby place ourselves on
record in favor of most energetic eff.

agencies to control and. If possible,
to exterminate this insect, including

MANURE FOR SMALL FRUITS
quired by Currants and Goose
berries-kpply in Fall.

Currants and gooseberries require
large amounts Of plantfood and as the
feeding roots are shallow and do not
extend far, it must be readily available
and close at hand. Thorough cultiva-
tion and manuring are important.
Stable manure is the best fertilizer and
it is difficult to apply too much in grow
ing these fruits.
Young plantations need not be fer
tiliZed heavily. but after the plants be-
gin to bear fruit heavy annual dress
ings OF well-rotted manure should be
applied. preferably in the fall or win
ter, to keep them in good productive
condition.
Commercial fertilizers may be used
TO supplement stable manures. Muriate
or sulphate of potash applied at the
rate of 100 to 200 pounds per acre
sometimes increases the production and
quality of the fruit. If necessary to
depend upon commercial fertilizers as
source of plantfood. one containing
per cent available nitrogen, 10 per
cent available phOsphOric acid and 4
per cent available potash applied at
the rate of 500 to 1000 pounds per
acre, Is recommended. However, in us
ing commercial fertilizers it should be
remembered that they add only the
mineral elements to the soil. and it is
therefore necessary to employ the use
of stable manure, or cover crops, each
year to maintain n good supply of
numus which is highly important in
growing these fruits.-Michigan Exper-
lment station.

India Leads in Cattle
Production With America
Ranking Close Second

Contrary to popular opinion. the
United States is not the worlds great
est cattle country. says the New York
Times. India has 1OO,OOO,OOO more than
America. though this country is sec
ond, and there are % countries tina,
nave more than two million each.
In the last SO years Guernseys led by
far all other breeds in numbers of
purebred cattle imported into this
country, and of the five breeds leading
the importations four were distinctly
dairy types.
More than $3.50 Guernsey cattle
were imported; Jerseys ranked second
in number, with Durhams. including
Shorthorns, third; Holsteins fourth,
and Ayrshires fifth. The volume of
purebred cattle impOrtations has been
extremely variable.
These facts are brought out in n
recent publication of the department,
OF agriculture, which shows the trend
OF the industry in this country and its
relation to the world trend.

Chronometer Exceeds Its

oUe-hundredthS of a second, says the
Philadelphia Record. a Chronometer

eva conservatory exceeded the former
rrr"rd made in the year 1891 by one
hundrpdth of a second. One hundred
au4 sixteen chrOnometers were entered
i" 'f'e 1913 contest, against l32 in 1917
and 106 in 1916. OF these 116 entries
t~e we're marine chronometers and III
pocket chronometers or watches, two
of the latter being complicated pieces.
Professor Raoul Gautier. of the In
duStria. Arts society. writes Consul
Lewis W Gassei from Geneva, in read
ing a report on the competition. gives
some interesting details on the tests
which are made to determine the ac-
curacy of the timepieces. The chro-
nometers are graded on scale of l 900
points. The ideal watch would be
granted 300 points for its daily pre-
cision. 200 points for its ability to sup
port changes of position, 300 points
tor its ability to support changes of
temperature, and 100 points for its abil-
itv to resume its normal precision af-
ter the changes of position and tenn
perature. The different deviations of
time are quoted In hundredths of a sec
ond. The maximum allowed at the
Geneva conservatory for pocket chro-
nometers is one-half second of devia-
tion during one days run, two seconds
after the position has changed. fifteen
-hundredths for each degree of diff
ferent temperature, and two ana one
half seconds of deviation after having
resumed the normal position and tenn
perature.

PROPER CARE OF THE SICK
Nurses Duties Are Onerous, but ThSS
Must Be Recognized as Highly
Necessary.

1t is important that the mother or
Nurse attending a child with con-
tagious disease should take long
walk In the fresh air every day. The
best way for her to arrange this Is
to keep a change of clothing in the
room next to the sick room. She
should also battle before leaving the
house or In fact before she comes in
contact with anyone. If bathroom
has been set aside for quarantine. she
should use this: If not, a screen and
basin must answer. She can then slip
into the next room and change her
clothing.
She should leave the house by the
back way, or, at any rate, avoid COM
ing in contact with any Of the Occu-
pants Of the house. Once on the
street she should not use the street
cars nor enter another house and, If
possible, should avoid touching any
one.

DENUDED FRANCE

and the value Of the trees will be
about $1.OOO,OOO.
The American Forestry association Is
urging the planting of memorial trees
In honor of the sailors and soldiers.
and the suggestion is being adopted
all over the country. The idea is to
plant trees along motor highways, in
connection with any memorials being
planned. and in streets and avenues
being named for war heroes. The as
sociation of which Charles Lathrop
Pack is president urges the planting of
a tree in honor of the man who Of
fered his life to his country also.
Many Organizations Help.
"In collecting the seed that France
will want" said Mr.. Ridsdale be-
fore sailing, "the members of our asso-
citation, the forestry departments OF
the various states, the boy scouts and
other organizations will be called upon
to help.
"a million and quarter acres OF
forest in the north and east Of France
have been practically wiped out dur
ing the war. They were cut down by
the contending armies for use in
trench building, for barracks, for
roads, for Y. NJ. c. A. and hospital
buildings or were blasted to pieces by
shell fire. But the sacrifice was not
in vain. for the great defensive value
of the forestsomaterially aided France
and her allies in checking the Ger
man drives and saving more of France
from invasion by the Huns.
"The service which the American
Forestry association and its members
will consider an honor to perform is to
aid in the restoration of these forests
which France had to sacrifice under
the pressure of war, for. no war has
ever made such call upon the for
ests for materials.

were dependent upon these forests for

Another plan being worked out is for
the planting of memorial trees along
the transcontineLt al motor highways
by the various counties through which
such highways pass. The Lincoln
Highway association has taken up this
plan. In Louisiana memorial trees are
to be planted, one every 40 feet, along
the jefferson highway in that state.
This is the highway that leads to Win.
