POTATO BEETLE MAKES
EARLY APPEARANCES {

The Colorado potato beetle is on
the Job early this season as many
INQUIRIES regarding the control OF this
insect have been received by the hor-
ticulturists in the state university ex-
tention division. Adults that have
hibernated over winter are beginning
to appear and egg laying is well un-
der way. Gardeners with small areas
of Irish potatoes should hand pick and
destroy these "early comers," and
should crush all eggs that may be
seen, say the specialists. The eggs
are orange colored and are found in
masses on the under surface OF the
leaves. From these eggs issue the
large larvae or slugs that play great
havoc by devouring the foliage.
Watch for these sIugs and hand pick
again.
Where the area is to great to
hand pick effectively. the slugs should
be poisoned with powdered arsenate Of
Lead the specialists say. This poi-
SON may be applied in various ways.
The simplest way perhaps, for small
areas is dusting the foliage with a
cheesecloth sack. When the cheese
cloth is used, the powdered arsenate
of lead should be mixed thoroughly
with at least an equal part by measure

manding the harbor, were found gun
emplaccments, cemented and rnortared
in. And then, in 1916, there came the
report, almost overshadowed, it is true,
by the doings in FLANDERS fields, where
the Germans were using their rake Of
hell, that Funchal had been badly
shelled by German submarine. Wc
might have thought the Germans only
trying to destroy the cable base that
connected with South America and
South Africa had they not raised their
gun sights to that hugo white building
overshadowing the little waterfront
town. They at least had remembered
the hidden gun nlortarsl and knew mot
to what use they were being put. But
only few stones crumblei, bats were
disturbed from their witchcries and
geometric spider circles had to be
spun again.
Oh, the irony Of it all! The day the
Funchal sanatorium was shelled Buda-
pests populace was shouting "Long
live the King!" meaning their new en-
peror, the now deposed Charles! The
body Of his father, Emperor Francis
Joseph, lay in solemn state. Even in
Philadelphia, where I was then living,
I recall that memorial services for him
were being held in the Ruthenian
Greek Catholic Church.. The glittering
Austrian Consul and equally resplen~
dent staff were present, and organized
companies Of "Siczowky," sharpshoot-
ers, in picturesque Ruthenian uniform,
stood in stiff formation.
We know now that not only this son,
newly crowned Emperor of Austria

peace with the Allies, but we have been

who was responsible for Austria con-
tinuing her alliance with Germany and
the consequent parings to the bone we
now see. Prince Sixte de Bourbon,
brother of Zita, wife of the dethroned
monarch, has fathered book that con-

stitucao. Already it was filled with the
vacant-eyed, sense-dulled Madeirense.
By the basalt pillars of the old palace
gates stood British navy officers, the
sunlight dancing on sword and spck
insignia. Their superiors, I was to
learn later, were within the moulder-
ing fifteenth century walls, issuing or
ders to the musty, fusty, little Military
Governor. There was movement at the
gates. A tiny policeman in faded denim
uniform began shouting in Portuguese:
"Make way for the Kings messengcrs!"
(King Manuel was still ON the throne
at Lisbon.) Two very much fused
orderlies pushed through and sped
away. The crowds fell back, strained
at a last wondering glimpse Of the skin
tight blue denims as they disappeared
beyond the Jardin dc Princess Amalia,
then turned their gaze back on the i'm
maculate Britishers st the palace gates.
No one moved. Hours passed. The
sidewalk cafe in front of the Golden
Gate Hotel on the Entrade de Cidade
filled up-and so did the chair occu-
parts, with good old Madeira. Others
draped themselves on the cobblestones

quickly parting crowds. Laughingly
ts occupants unknotted themselves
from the little basket vehicle and
