New York.-Chains of things are no
longer a novelty in this country. We
are accustomed now to 10, 10, 25-cent
stores, tea stores, sausages, drug
stores, self-service groceries, and beau
ty parlors, all done in chains. In Po-
land they have taken up this idea,
starting out by establishing their banks
in chains. Not just a few huge re-
gional affairs like our federal reserves,
but hundreds of little farm loan banks
scattered among the villages Of the
Lublin and Cholm areas.
To be sure, the system was installed
by an American and it was American
money that filed the empty, dusty
vaults. That is, where there were any
vaults. Dr.. John A. Morehead, Euro

Luther Council of America, is the
amateur banker who set up this no

FLOWING UNDER COVER CROP
Where There Is Abundance of Moisture
Work May Be Delayed Until
Late in Spring.

Whenever a cover crop is used in
q peach orchard it should pre-suppose
the blowing of the orchard as early
in the spring as practicable, unless the
growth that is on ground can be
worked into the soil effectively and
more conveniently by the use of a
disc or cutaway harrow. However, if
there is an abundance of moisture in
the soil, the turning under of the
cover crop is delayed in many cases
until after it has made a considerable
growth in the spring. In order TO OBJ
tain as large a quantity of vegetable
matter to be worked into the soil as
possible.

GOT THE JOBS MIXED UP
But at That, Old Gentleman Had
Equipped Coffin for the Crossing
of the River.

Joseph c. Lincoln told this story
at the luncheon Of the Brooklyn col
ony Of the Society Of New England
Women recently TO illustrate the eff
cacy in the old days of New England
rum:
An old Cape Cod settler made both
boats and collins. One day he was
called upon TO make a coffin to be
finished in two days. The old fellow
denmrred because he was busy max
ing a boat. But the need for the coffin
was imperative, so it occurred to the
insistent customers that New Eng
land rum might help. So a bottle was
forthcoming. The old fellow took a
swig and agreed that he reckoned
he would have 10 accommodate the
gentleman. In two days they returned
to find the old man asleep in the cor
ner, the bottle empty and the coffin
ready, resting on two chairs. But the
old captain had put a centerbOard in

SCOUTS AS TRAFFIC AIDS.

In Fort Smith, Ark, scouts were
recently put on the job of recording
their observations as to how well
drivers of automobiles were Obeying
traffic laws and reported that one
third of the motorists observed did
not slow down for railway crossings
and were otherwise criminally negli-
gent. As a result of this report a more
stringent watch was set on traffic
and safer conditions enforced.
Another traffic job which won much
praise locally was the aid rendered
by boy scouts to the police depart
ment of Detroit In handling holiday
crowds on two of the city's busiest
corners. Squads carried long ropes
pedestrians from crossing
streets during vehicular traffic; when
the traffic direction changed a squad
leader signaled and the boys hurried
to block the other intersections. The
police say this work was never. so
we'll managed before and greatly min
mized the number of accidents and
he prevalence of jay walking.

CUT OUT APPLE TREE BORERS
Destructive Pests Make Holes in Wood
About Size of Shot and May
Be Easily Located.

When borers appear on apple trees
that have been partly killed by the
cold weather during winter the best
method of eradicating them is to cut
out the dead part of the tree and the
borers with II and then paint the
wound with white lead and linseed
oil to which has been added enough
carbolic acid TO give the solution an
odor. This will prevent further at
tacks. Such is the recommendations
OF the entomology department of Pur-
due university. The borers make
holes in the wood about the size Of
shot and may be easily found

at the bureau of entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture, as
the grapevine fiea-beetle.
American chronological literature is
filled with studies of this beetle, and
it has always been assumed that the
insect produced two brOods each year
the beetles of the second brood be-
ing smaller than those of the first and
less destructive. Two distinct species
of the beetle, 1t was found, have been
masquerading under the same name
(Altica chalybea III. The smaller
beetle, hitherto supposed to be the
dwarfed second brood, is, in reality,
a different species. which emerees
later than the larger insect. The new
species is described as Altica woodsi.
The distinction of the two species
will have an important effect upon the
control measures. Roth beetles feed
destructively upon the leaf tissues of
the grape and both are highly resist
ant to poisonous sprays. Usually
their appearance in the vineyard is
limited to a small area-at the ends
of rows, or at the edge of the field
and, under such conditions, they are
best removed by picking. The work
must be done quickly, as the beetles
eat their way along the leaf very rap
idly. When the infestation is severe
and picking inadvisable, a solution of
six pounds Of arsenate of lead. paste,
or three pounds, powdered. to 80 gal
Ions of water may be used effectively.
Vigilance in the early spring is es-
sential.
