GARDEN PESTS CAN BE CONTROLLED BY
 APPLYING COMPOUND

Auburn. February 19.-(Speeial.)- Those who expected to plant a garden
 this spring and then decided that it
 would be useless because of so many
 insect pests, should reverse their de- cision and plant one, according to c. IA
 lsbell, associate professor of horticul-
 ture and former state garden specialist.
 He makes this statement because the control of most garden insects is a com paratiyely easy matter.
 Dividing these insects into two ] classes. biting and sucking, those that secure their food by sucking the plant
 juices can usually be controlled by spraying with nicotine solution, such
 as Black Leaf 4e| while most of the !, biting insects can be Killed by dusting with mixture made up of one part of | powdered arsenate of lead and five
 parts of dry lime This mixture may l be applied with a small dusting gun, f but if such is not convenient, it may be enclosed in a closely woven cloth and dusted over the plants. It is rec
 commended for the familiar potato bug, roasting ear worm. and many more of l the common insects. By dusting il I over the entire surface of cantaloupes ! 1t will destroy the well known canta-
 lope borers. which have ruined so many i nice cantaloupes about the time they 1 begin to ripen.

H. C.L. DECLINES
 IN GREAT BRITAIN
Labor Exchange Estimates Idle Army at Eight Hundred
 Fifty-nine Thousand Men
By Associated Press

London, February 19.-- Special )--Labor correspondents of various London news papers assert the cost of living has de- clined in Great Britain and that re duction of wages is inevitable They re- port decreases in wages already have occurred in cases where sliding scales of pay were based on the selling prices of the goods.
 These wage cuts, however, are mostly in trades which are poorly organized There is good deal of speculation among the labor writers as to the at titude of workers in highly organized trades when they are called upon to ac- cept a lower wage, in accordance with previously arranged plans based upon the cost of living.
 The ministry of labor official figures on the cost of living for working class families show that at the end of De- cember the percentage was 169 higher than in 1914 against the November fig ure of 176, while for January it was ex- pected to reach 165. This, while aiie- yiating the lot of the worker to some extent and assisting employers, will not solve the present acute unemployment situation and many agreements nave been come to during the past week or two whereby workers have decided to go on short time or accept less money III order to avoid total closing down or works.
 The Furness Iron masters and repre- sentatives of the mems union have met and the latter decided to accept reduc- tion of wages from 2 shillings and pence to 19 and pence day, so that work may be resumed in the iron mines The number of unemployed in Great Britain is given on labor exchange books as S59000, while other authorities place the total of people without, work at l. 5O0.OO0.
 Short time is soon to go into force Ill the government dockyards and otner government establishments.
