japanese Beetle Wages
War in State of New Jersey

Since the submission of the last re-
port the area infested by this insect
has increased to $4,000 acres and now
involves not only portion of Burling.
ton County but small area in Cam
den County adjacent to the old in
tested area of Burlington County
The average spread of this insect this
year has not exceeded one and one
half miles and the extreme spread has
not exceeded three miles. Without
doubt this apparent spread is in PAL
due to the discovery of infestation
which had occurred the year previous.
but which, owing to inadequate scout
ing in that year, had not been discov-
cred. 1t is mainly due, we believe,
to the natural movement of the insect
on the wing. The farthest outposts
of infestation are probably the result
of direct carriage of one or more
specimens on clothing of persons, or
in vehicles.
1t is worth while to point out that
the actual damage done by this i'll
sect in the area infested has been
almost negligible and that this con.
dition probably obtains because of the
efficient SUPPRESSION work which has
been carried out against it.
The time has now arrived definitely
to abandon the idea of determination
and to devote all energy: (1) to hold
ing the insect within it's present linn
it's; (2) to the discovery of practical
artificial means for it's control; 90
to the study of natural enemies of
this insect in Japan, it's native home,
with the view of importing such OF
them as may be introduced with a
profit into the area infested.
The problem of holding the insect
where it can probably best be met:
Q) by suppression of the insect within
the infested area by the destruction
of grubs and adults, thus reducing the
number to point where the demand
for food will not cause natural distrl-
button to occur; (2) by eliminating
from the sides of the roads that pass
through this area or rendering dis
tasteful to all plants on which the in
sects normally fed and thus dimin
ishing, if not entirely eliminating, the
chances of their being caught up and
carried by passing vehicles to points
outside the infested area; 60 by de-
stroying or rendering distasteful all
of the food plants in a barrier band

sive field tests of Bordeaux mixture
have been made by the Experiment
Station. The results have differed
somewhat with the localities and with
the variety of potatoes grown. In the
two years work at Freehold, no in
creases outside of experimental error
have been obtained by spraying
Giant" potatoes. These experiments
were conducted on one of the richest
fields in that district, and high fertil-
ity and variety of the potatoes grown
have been suggested as probable
causes for the failure to obtain ma
terial increases in yield.
With Irish Cobbler potatoes the
BORDEAUX spraying has given more
promising results. AS high as 81
bushels per acre increase was noted
in one experiment. Increased yields
have not been obtained in all cases,
and with our meagre data and incom-
plete knowledge of the influence of the
character of the seed, of climate, and
several other factors, it is not possible
to predict paying increase every
year from Bordeaux spraying.
The results of spraying second crop
Irish Cobbler potatoes are much more
promising. Early blight is quite com.
mon in these late planted potato fields,
and since Bordeaux effectively con.
trolls this fungus, we may expect q
larger return from spraying here than
on the early crop where the disease
is absent
For the first crop potatoes, the first
application of Bordeaux spray should
be made when the vines are to s
inches high The treatment should
be repeated every 10 to IA days, the
time of application depending some
what upon weather conditions. The
largest number of applications OF
spray per season tested in the expert
mental work on first crop potatoes is
four.
Liquid sprays are best applied at
the rate of about 100 gallons per acre
and the best coating of the leaves is
obtained with three nozzles to the
row. A pressure of at least 100 pounds
per square inch is highly desirable.
Complete directions for the prepare.
ton of Bordeaux mixture are to be
found in Circular 4S of the New Jer-
sey Agricultural Experiment Station.
A detailed report of the busting and
spraying work of the Experiment Sta
ton is contained in the Annual reports

A Good One
on the Doctor
BY r. n. Stearns

They tell good one on a Wash
.ington doctor, who has a habit of in
terrupting his patients during their
recital of their troubles by his more
or less querulous comment.
One day a stranger consulted the
physician, to whom he confided the
information that he did not exactly
know what ailed him. Being pretty
we'll worn out however, he felt sure
he needed Treatment of some sort
Same old troubled" exclaimed the
medico. mo man can live cooped up
in an office all day. Now l myself
could soon manage to get myself into
the debilitated state wherein you find
yourself did pursue the same tactics.
What a man need is exercise, l tell
YOU OF course, if you want to lay
over a desk or counter all day anil
get no ozone into your system, then
what need to seek relief. It'll get you
in no time, 1 can assure you of that"
L" began the patient.
"You must have fresh air, mani"
vociferated the doctor. "Take long
walks! Get plenty of good, whole
some air in your lungs! I could
easily contrive to dose you with all
manner of drugs and retain you as a
permanent patient, incidentally con-
vincing you that l was a skillful ply
sician But l won't do it! All 1 have
to say is, get out and walk, walk,
walk"
"But, doctor" the man tried to
interrupt.
Listen to mel" returned the doc
tor. Don't try TO argue the question.
It's no use! What you need is at least
one long walk day-several would
be better-to get your blood into ci--
cuIation. Don't let your system rust;
That's the trouble with you fellows.
I've had many such cases."
But my CALLING
'Your calling! There it is! ex-
pected that! My business'-they all
say it! Arrange your affairs so that
you may walk more. Start away a
little before the usual time in the
morning and fix it SO that you leave
"a little earlier in the afternoon. By
the way, what is your business?"
Il am suburban postman"

Al HOME
A Department for Industrious
HouseaUives

The ugly kitchen is now a thing of
the past in the ideal home-that is
the near-past, rather than the far-past,
for if we go back far enough, say to
our grandmother's or great grand
mothers time, we find much of quaint
beauty and homeiness to admire.
Their kitchens, however, lacked con-
veniences, and often. too, important
essentials, such as plenty of light.
Usually they were too large, causing
wasted energy in unnecessary steps,
and useless space to be kept clean.
But the sncw-white whitewashed
walls, and quaint cupboards, the gay
pink geraniums in the windows, were
all things to delight the eye, and
cheer the spirit on to new endeavors.
Then came the innovation of all
sorts of conveniences, and in our en-
thusiasm, beauty and it's psychological
effect on housewife or servant was
quite forgotten. The idea seemed
that kitchen must be hidious to be
useful, that gay ported plants were
out of place among such practical
efficiency and pretty color scheme
an idle foolish thought.
The Turn of the Wheel
The turn of the wheel, however,
has brought as it so often does to
the well-named happy medium" and
we are learning nowadays to COM
bine utility and beauty in the ideal
way. Utility, of course, speaks for
itself and has long been recognized
as of primary importance in the mod
ern kitchen. And now beauty, hav-
ing found it's way into every other
room in the home, has at last been
admitted, too. So we choose care
fully an attractive color scheme for
walls, woodwork, floor covering and
crockery, so that the whole effect is
well blended and cheerful. We have
at least one potted flower in the win
dow, and, yea, even a. singing canary.
Once we thought the kitchen not
quite good enough for such flattering
attentions, but now we realize that 1t
is really the very heart of the home,
the place where its most important
business is carried on, and that who
ever carries on this important bust
ness (be she cook or wife) has a
perfect right to the most happy in
f.uences around her. Beauty in the
kitchen is sure to make the work more
pleasant-less like drudgery-and in
deed, can be a great help in making
it is real pleasure. And we all know
that work that is a pleasure bids fai,
to be a success.

BIG CIRCUS COMING.

The advance announcement of the
appearance in Union City, Monday
Aug 16, of Howe's Great London
Circus will be greeted with delight
by the residents of Obion County and
the surrounding country. Old and
young alike will welcome the news,
as visit from this superior quail
ity outdoor amusement enterprise
which is we'll known and very popu-
lar hereabouts is an assurance of a
round of real pleasure for all.
The Howe's Great Circus has been
greatly strengthened and enlarged
for the 1920 season and the perform
ance presented has been pronounced
to be of the very highest class in ev-
cry particular, interesting, enter
tanning, instructive and amusing.
So many really meritorious fea-
lures have been added this season it
requires 3 rings to properly present
the startling, sensational and thrill
ing feats of strength, daring and
agility. No other show of it's size and
character has ever offered SO great
a gathering of acrobats, .equestrians,
gymnasts, aerialists, riders and equi-
librists as has been assembled here.
Each and every act is entirely new
and has been selected for it's individ-
ual novelty and greatness.
A geological exposition that stands
prominent among circuses affords
an object lesson for the student, a
source of wonderment for the learned
and a gratifying exhibition for chill
dren. A realistic exhibition of west
ern life is portrayed by two score
daredevil cowboys and cowgirls.
Grand free street parade at 1890

We also express our appreciation for
the excellent entertainment given us
by Prof. Ownby, Miss Julia Embry,
Miss LaNelle Marshall, Miss Beulah
Allen, Miss Catherine Arnold and
Mrs. Thad Lee. That we thank
Supt. B. A. Vaughn and others for
their efforts in making the institute
success. And be it resolved that
this body deplores the loss of that
kindly, sympathetic co-worker, Chas.
l.. Rulings. We feel that in his death
the teachers of Obion County lost
one of their loved, tried and faithful
friends-one whose kindly advice,
whose gentle admonition and whose
high professional ability and noble
ideals made him an invaluable friend
to the teachers and to the cause of
education. We commend his studious.
habits, his pure life, his tactful ma
ture devoid of offense, his lifelong
devotion to the welfare of the public
school, his high ideals of citizenship,
his love for little children, his courte-
GUS behavior to all as worthy of our
emulation and imitation. That we
extend to his bereaved wife and chill
dren our deepest sympathy in their
irreparable loss.-S. c. Finch, Mrs.
R. R. Kitchell, L. d. Williams, com
mittee.
Before the institute closed the or
ganization of the Obion County
Teachers Association was formed
with F. E. Ranck, president; w. H.

Four meetings are to be held this
year, the first one the second Satur-
day in September.
