The Gimbel Indictment to-day super
sedes the complaints on which Gimbel
and Dowdell and Slawter were arrested

ing to it.
The Gimbel indictment states that the
average profit on all 2o7 articles mem
toned was "103 10 per cent" in one in
stance a suit of mohair clothes which
$3.50 was offered for sale at 500 "a gross
profit of 2s3 per cent
The grand jury in the indictment as
serted that a gross profit of ~ per cent
would have been ample TO weld Gimbel
Brothers a reasonable profit after the
costs of a garment and payment Of ali
overhead charges in connection with its
sale.
A summer bargain sale OF overcoats
netted Gimbel Brothers a gross of 100 per
cent. according to the indictment.

SPRAY NOW FOR APPLE MAGGOT

A new method of controlling the apple
maggot is reported from the College of
Agriculture through the University of
Vermont agricultural extension service.
The apple maggot. which has been very
troublesome throughout several genera
tons, will finally succumb to a new
spray applied at a very particular time
says Prof NJ. r. Cummings. The rail-
road worm or apple maggot, as it is often
named, seems now thoroughly control-
able by the arsenate Of lead spray applied
at a particular time. The method of
control consists in spraying the trees
with five pounds of arsenate of lead to
one hundred gallons of water. The first
application is made during the last days
of June or the first week OF July. and the
second application about two weeks
later in case infestaton is serious or
much harm is anticipated.
The spraying must be done thoroughly,
although there appears to be no need of
coating the trees as completely as when
| spraying for codling moth. The appfica-
| ton may he made more quickly and with
| less materials than are necessary for the
usual spraying operations
The insect is widely distribuf ed

SPRAYS AND THEIR USES
Directions for Preparing Sprays and
Destroying Insects

Upon what does the success OF spray
ing depend? First, upon knowledge OF
how the insect Injuries the plant, The
gardener must know whether it eats the
leaves. as the potato bug; or sucks the
sap, as the harlequin bug and aphis; or
feeds on roots, as the maggot or cuts
off the plant as the cutworm.
The insects that feed on the surface
easier to. control than those that feed
inside tho plant, or under cover, as the
cop-ear worm. Second a thorough APP
plication of the right kind of spray at
the right time. Sprays should be applied
in a very fine mist and the entire plant
should be completely covered with the
spray mixture. The underestimate of the
leaves should be sprayed as carefully as
the upperesurface. The plants should be
sprayed as soon as the insect appears.
This early spray will kill the hibernat-
ing insects before they lay eggs, and so
! destroy the first brood
II the potato plants are sprayed as
soon as the leaves come through the
soil the alternating Colorado beetles vii

| and before they lay eggs. III the canoagt
plants are sprayed as soon as the cab

plants. the larvae OF the cabbage butter

| plants.
| Usually the early spring broods are Sc
few in number that the gardener doe'
nor notice them in time to destroy them
and second broods are allowed to appear
