prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Arsenicals 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, conservative estimate would
place the present annual loss from this
pest to cabbage alone-not including
caulifiower and other related crops
at $1,3OO,OOO, or one-tenth the value
Of the entire crop.
The cabbage worm is not difficult
to control, and it 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,
it may be applied either wet or dry,
preferably, however, as 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 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 plants shows 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 arsenicals as an insecticide and

BATTLESH|P QUEEN
BEGINS SERVICE
Tennessee Manned by Force
From State for Which
She Is Named.

! NEW YORK, June (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-The superdreadnaught
Tennessee. the largest and most for
midable battleship aioat, goes into
commission today at the Brooklyn
Navy yard. Constructed here at a
cost of s2o,Oo0.o 900. she represents the
last word in battleship architecture.
She is 625 feet long, 90 feet abeam,
ana mas a displacement of 80, 500 tons.
she Is the next thing to a pleasure
yacht in the comfort of her appoint
ments for officers and men. She is
the first battleship to recruit her en-
IRE personnel from the state from
which she takes her name, and she rep
resents advantages taken from les
sons learned in the battle of Jutland
ana other important naval battles of
the world war.
Has Modern Devices.
This last special feature. which dis
tlngulshes the Tennessee from all
other units Of the United States Navy.
IS the highly organized fighting
oraln inclosed in a steel fort near
the top of the forward mast. Here are
concentrated devices for observing
enemy ships. device not known in
the battle of Jutland, enabling the
crew to quickly ascertain the posi-
tion OF enemy craft. Special devices
able the crew to quickly train the
|Iourteen-inch guns on the enemy be-
iore the crew of any other battleship
known could even sight the Tennes-
see. This new device consists of three
decks and their fighting complement
Is twenty-five men,
BY special signaling devices, con-
nected throughout the ship, reports
from this fighting top can be flashed
instantly to all parts of the ship, thus
lnsuring instant correction of range
and rapid fire. This fighting brain"
| Is filled with mechanical devices for
| range finding and other delicate in
struments never before used on a bat
tleship.
Another important feature in the
construction of the Tennessee is her
electrical control of speed. enabling
her to quickly change from her ca
pacity speed of twenty-one knots to
an almost imperceptible motion. This
Is considered an important point, from
the standpoint of maneuvering.
Built With Great Care.
The Tennessee is believed to have
been built with more care for the
comfort of her crew than any other
makes possible capacious lockers
baths and recreation quarters. She
has a handsomely furnished club
room and library for enlisted men.
She has a printing shop with a limo
type machine. and presses on which
a daily newspaper will be printed The
Tennessee is the first battleship to be
equipped with a motion picture cam
era. She will not actually be put into
service until August l. when she will
start on practice cruise to Guam
tanamo, Cuba. Her present crew of
Tennesseeans numbers 631.
A large delegation of Tennessee folk
was In New York today to attend the
ceremonies. Gov. Roberts of Tennes-
see, who was expected to be present,
telegraphed that he would be unable
to do so. Capt. r. H. Leigh is the
commander of the vessel.

At NAVAL ACADEMY
Strength Of Navy Up to Spirit
Of Men, Mr.. Daniels Tells
Officers.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, June 3 (by the
Associated Press).-Upon the spirit
and will Of its officers to cast off
slavery to tradition" and venture
into the realm of things new and
untried depends the future strength
and efaciency of the American Navy,
Secretary Daniels told the graduating
class of midshipmen at the Naval
Academy here today in presenting
diplomas to it's 289 members.
Citing as an object lesson the
Navys record Of resourcefulness in
the world war, as best exemplified
tary delivered an earnest appeal to
the young officers not to let the
weight of accepted theories restrain
their efforts to keep American sea
power at the forefront in strategy
and invention.
ITO some men tradition is a task
master. a hard rule, a beaten path"
the Secretary declared. ITO others
it is a star in the armament. light
to the pathway; wings on which to
mount for clearer vision and wiser
action, to win the goal, not by prece-
dent or rule. but by an illumination
that Is spirit and not deed.
Old Tactics Change.
mo two wars were ever won by
the same tactics and few by the
same weapons. The military leader
of the future may navigate his ships
by radio and the day may even come
when all his fighting craft may be

blue"
Coupling with his admonition
against diffidence and skepticism
toward the untried a reference to the
doubt and delay among naval states
men" in accepting the American
Navy's proposal for the North sea
barrage, Secretary Daniels declared
the spirit that gave birth to that
great and original conception" won
for the Navy the honor Of con-
tributing the outstanding offensive"
against the submarine menace. LET
that be a tradition to incite you to
newer heights than have ever been
attained" he added.
American Tradition Audncity.
"The American tradition of bold
ness and audacity." the speaker con-
tinued, enforced by world-war
achievement, will save you from the
danger of a slavish adherence to ira
dition or precedent in method, while
heartening you with the girding
realization that the tradition Of
daring and audacity is bounded by
no limits or possibilities or miracles"
The Secretary told the young Of
ficers they were to be congratulated
upon coming into the Navy ''in day
when it holds-and holds deserved
ly-higher place in the confidence of
the American people than in any
period Of its history"

FOOD PRICES DROPPING
IN PARTS OF EUROPE

PARIS, June 3.-Newspapers of this
city have begun a campaign intended
to compel holders of stocks of food and
other necessities to unload, and it is said
that results have already been obtained.
A radical drop in prices is not ex-
pected by students of the situation, but
opinion is general that retail prices
must become easier in the face of the
decrease in the cost of raw materials.
Lower prices for food are reported
generally from central Europe. from

Courier to Florence king Victor
Emanuel, of Italy, today visited the
ruin visited upon this city by the
earthquake of Tuesday. He went in
to every quarter Of the town and
talked with survivors, expressing his
profound grief over their misfortunes.
Learning that some of the surviv-
ors had not tasted food for thirty six
hours, he ordered that all food in his
private car be distributed among
them.
During his walk thru the city the
king approached a stretcher on which,
was laying an aged woman, and gent
ly touched her forehead. She opened
her eyes and recognized the monarch.
Her eyes filled with tears and she
struggled to kiss his hand, sobbing:
"My little grandons: my little
grandons."
The king learned that the woman's
entire family with the exception of
herself and two small lads had been
buried in their homes and killed
When the monarch promised to look
after the children, joy shone thru the

receive information of an important
