ARSENICALS FOR
KILLING WORMS
Annual Loss From Cabbage Pest
ConservativeIy Estimated
at 100000.
NOT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL
Arsenate Of Lead and Paris Green Are
Preferable to other Polsons--
Number Of sprayings Depends
on Conditions

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Arsenlcals are being generally used
to control the cabbage worm. There
are now few instances Of the total de-
structiOn of crops of cabbages as was
formerly often the case. Neverthe-
less, a conservative estimate would
place the present annual loss from this
pest to cabbage alone-not including
cauliflower and other related crops
at $1.S00.0o0. or one-tenth the value
Of the entire crop.
The cabbage worm is not difficult
to control, and II should be borne In
mind that most other cabbage pests.
more often present than not, will be
controlled by the same methods.
Poisons Preferred.
Repeated experiments have shown
that arsenate of lead and paris green
are preferable to other arsenicals in
common use. If paris green is used,
II may be applied either wet or dry,
preferably, however, as a spray, at the
rate of one pound to so gallons Of wa
ter. The plants should be free from
insect attack when they are set out
and should be sprayed a few days later
to make sure that the poison reaches
the young caterpillars before they have
burrowed far into the heads. Other
applications should follow as inspec-
ton of plantsashows that they are nee
essary.
These applications of arsenicals can
be made with absolute safety even af-
ter the heads are formed, as the poison
disappears from plants almost COM
pletely within two to three weeks af-
ter application, and even earlier in
event of repeated or heavy rainfall.
increased Cost.
Scarcity of paris green has increased
the cost. Arsenate of lead has been
rapidly superseding paris green and
other arsepicals as an insecticide and

CONTROL OF SOIL DISEASES

With the possible exception Of seed

which, from the plant disease point Of
view, gives greater returns on the In
vestment than crop rotation, is the
assertion of Prof. ]. G. Leach Of the
Colorado Agricultural college. There
are great many plant diseases such
as willis and root rots for which no
specific remedy is known and which
can be held in check only by the COM
bined practices of seed selection, seed
treatment, and crop rotation. These
diseases become worse and worse each
year the crop is grown In the same
soil, and each one taking their annual
toll accounts for considerable loss to
the farmer.
A system of crop rotation entails al
most no expense other than a little
forethought and planning. The re-
turns In disease-free crops pay for
this trouble many times over. not to
speak of the added gain in soil fer
tility.

To Save u. S. Mothers and Babies

A quarter of million American
babies died last year of preventable
dlseases-mOst of them before they
were year old; and in the same
year twenty-three, thousand women
sacrificed their lives because skilled
care and medical advice were not
available when they were to become
mothers. What makes this record
even more shocking is the fact that
among fifteen important countries
fourteen show q more favorable ma
ternal death-rate than our own enlight-
ened and highly civilized United
States, and seven of these countries
show a more favorable infant mortal
ity rate.
These alarming statistics are Of
fetal and are given out by the chill

has been investigating health eondi-
lions In a number of states through q
careful house-to-house canvass of
mothers. Such facts as these have led
