Gibbs, the British war CORE
spondent, when the war was over,
wrote book cal lied "Now 1t Can
Be Told" and in this book told
some useful truths.
Among other things he described
the condition of young soldiers fol-
lowing shell shock, that deadens the
mind, sometimes for months, some
times for life.
Because this shell shock was en-
dured by so many American soldiers,
this extract from Mr.. Gibbs book
is printed.
Read it and realize how it applies
to American soldiers, to whom so
much was PROMISED and for
whom so little is done when it was
all over and the need for them in
war no longer exists.

Report of F. III. Dudley
State HOrticulturiSt

Many complaints have been re-
ceived of the damage done by ants in
lawns and by covering walks with
earth from their tunnels, according
tc the annual report of Frank IL
Dudley of Auburn. the State horti-
the Governor and Council
"These pests may be killed in the
tunnels by pouring kerosene into
Them" says Mr.. Dudley in his re-
port
'In the hills the ants are best
handled by making three or four
holes six or eight inches deep in each
hill and pouring a tablespoonful of
carbondisulphide into each hole.
pressing the earth well together with
the heel and then covering for an
hour or two with heavy blanket
Care should be taken to keep the
carbondisulphide away from any fire
as it is very combustible. The best
results are obtained by using this
when the sun is shining brightly.
"If ants are found in the house,
the only permanent remedy is to OBJ
serve where they go, which if in the
house will probably be in some beam
or timber. and destroy the nest by
injecting into it some benzine or
kerosene.
"The raspberry cane borer was
very prevalent the past season. many
specimens of infested canes having
been sent into the office. The pres
ence of the pest is shown by two dis
tinct girdlings about one inch apart,
on the cane near the top. Some
times broken or whiting tops will
call our attention to the presence of
this pest in our garden. The adult
beetle is about one-half inch long
with slender, cylindrical body and
long antennae, and of a deep color
except the prothorax. which is yell
low, with two or three black spots,
although these are sometimes lack
ing.

per. I inspected several orchards in
Maine affected by this pest. These
pests resemble tiny grass hoppers,
being about one eighth of an inch in
length. These tiny pests may be
found for the most part on the I'M
der side of the leaf where thay suck
the juices from the leaf When dis
turbed, the young dodge quickly out
of sight, while the adult, flies rapid
ly away.
1.-THE business Of raising small
fruits in this State is a profitable
one, and especially is this true where
the soil is a light loom, and the
grower has a nearby market. Many
cater to the summer resort trade,
while others ship their products to
the cities of our State and to Bos-
ton.
"Raspberries do not stand long
shipments well, and this is the rea-
son that there is no competition
from the South as is the case with
the strawberry. Dozens of small
fruit growers have taken up the sale
of their surplus stock and from this
they derive an added revenue. Any
grower wishing to sell strawberry,
raspberry or blackberry bushes may
receive State inspection and
should have one in order to sell and
to be able to guarantee bushes free
from disease.
Bees are classed as beneficial in
sects and are friends to the orchard
lists and the small fruit growers, as
we'll as the gardeners. Without
these little friends, there would be a
small amount of apples of certain
varieties. They are a necessity to
the Ben Davis which is sterile and
must be pollinatcd to bear fruit.
Other varieties more or less self
sterile are the Rambo: Yellow Bell
flower, Roxbury Russell. Tolman
Sweet, Gravenstein, King, Northern
Spy. Red Astrachan and Spitzen-
berg"

Eira Prevention Matters

Insurance Commissioner G.. Walden
Smith Friday issued a letter to the
municipal authorities of all cities
and towns in the State requesting
closer cooperation in fire prevention
matters and the reporting OF fires
and casualties occurring as 4 result
of these fires.
Commissioner Smith calls atten-
ton to the fact that despite the eff
forts made during the past year
publicly calling attention to the large
amount of fire waste, that $50 more
fires occurred in 1920 than in 1919.
and the property damage was nearly
100000 greater in 1920 than in the
previous year.
Commissioner Smith strongly
urges that wherever towns and viii
lagos have not employed inspectors
and fire wardens that il is sound
Investment to do so, as it is one of
the forces helping TO minimize fires
and to safeguard communities.
The State Insurance Department
has prepared q pamphlet of instruc-
tiOns information and tho law in
connection with fire nuisances which
are a menace to adjacent property,
end attracting the attention of the
authorities to the correction of this
fault that seems to be common in
many Of the smaller places.

that the cOnspirators had abandoned
