PREPARE TO CONTROL
CHRISTOPHER PESTS
Tests Made to Determine Most
Effective Bats.
Special Agent of Bureau of Entomol-
ogy Assigned to Make Investiga-
ton Bearing on Situation
in Infested Regions.

Various steps are being taken in the
regions heavily infested by grasshop-
pers last year to prepare for their
adequate control during the coming
season should the same situation
arise, says the United States Depart
e of Agriculture.
At a recent. conference attended by
entomologists from Canada, as well as
state and federal entomologists, plans
we're co-ordinated for conducting IA
series of experiments this year to de-
termine the most effective poisoned
bats for various species of grasshop-
pers which infest different regions.
The work is TO be done on n uniform
basis. 81. that the results obtained may
be easily compared.
1t is also planned to construct an
international map, showing in a large,
regional way the grasshopper condi-
tions in both Canada and this country.
This map will be available both in
making an annual record and for fu-
ture reference in control work. A spe-
cha agent of the bureau of entomol-
ogy. with headquarters at Billings,
Mont. has been assigned to make in
yestigations bearing on the grasshop-
per situation this year in Wyoming,
North Dakota, Minnesota and other
affected areas.

widespread application. So. hitting
the ball is not all of golf. Mechanical
skill with the clubs is very far from
being all there is to the game.
Certain benefits. such as fresh air,
exercise and the resi- that comes from
change of scene and occupation are
obvious. There is no way to reach
that mysterious thing which we call
the brain, except through the muscles
and the senses. Therefore to play
hard and happily in the open air is
at once the best antidote and prepara-
ton for work. Walking is good. but
1t doesn't always prevent the mind
from keeping on with its troubles :
Here's where golf comes in and fills
the bin. You can't play golf I'M keep
your mind on something else.
Students of games say that the very
best game in the world is o%ld-fashioned
American poker. Why? Because it
is the happiest possible combination
of skill and luck. There are people
who hold hat a finished course in
poker is the nearest equivalent to n
liberal education.
A game of golf, by the way. can
be made several games in one. You
may play, for instance. against an
opponent. against Colonel Boyle. and
against your own best score.
Golf may or may not equal poker
as a Liberal education" but unless the
player is a fool golf will teach him
many things.
Golf has always taught sobriety. a
man cannot play good golf unless he
keeps his Y on the ball and the
average man cannot drink and keep
his eye on the ball.
Golf teaches mental concentration.
One can't just hit the ball and trust TO
luck. He's got TO wake up his mind
to do n certain thing. and try his best
to do it.
Golf teaches self-mastery. A man
can't lose his temper and play golf.
He can't lose his nerve and play golf.
He can't lose his head and play golf.
Golf teaches honesty-as many u
man has learned to his surprise. How
often has a man who wouldn't cheat
OF his score been tempted TO improve
the lie of his ball? Some men who
wouldn't cheat an opponent have found
themselves cheating themselves.
Golf teaches good sportsmanship.
What is the good sportsman? He is
the gentleman of sport. Many a n
IS sportsman enough to lose grace
fully 1t is harder for many to win
gracefully.
Golf teaches a man to pick out the
right men for friends TO tie TO. go
camping with a man to try him out"
is the motto of the woodsmen. SO.
golf shows up the player. II lays hare
the boaster. the chentt., the buffer.
the fellow with a yellow streak and
the chnp with temper and malice und
jealousy. II reveals the fighter, the
sportsman and the white man."

One of Tomato Hornworns-a, Adult Moth; b, Larva; c, pupa; t4ovard9

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The insects which attack the potato
and the eggplant injure the tomato to
a less extent, and tomatoes suffer
greatly from pests.
Tomato Hornworms.
The tomato hornworms are large
green worms, sometimes called tomato
worms or tobacco worms, as they feed
about equally well on both plants.
They are the larvae, or young, of
large sphinx moths of two species,
which are very similar in habits and
distribution. These insects produce
w broods. and when they begin to
tomato plants. Growers should be on
the lookout for the first as well as the
secenG brood. They appear at vari-
times, according to the locality.
controi.-Hand picking can be
practiced, but it takes an experienced
eye TO detect these worms when they
are at rest. When feeding they are
more easily cen and can be destroyed
readily. A single application of lead

stroy them even though crudely ap-
piled. Those which eat the poison
first will be found dead the following
day. The remainder will be found on
the second or third day.
Tomato Fruitworm.-The' tomato
fruitworm is the same. insect as the
boll-worm of cotton and the corn
and is the cause of much
trouble to tomato growers, because of
its eating into the ripening fruit and
destroying its market value.
control.-Lead arsenate, 2 pounds
to 25 gallons of water, applied two
or three times, will keep the insecr
under partial control. As long a.
sweet corn is growing in the ~vicinit,
It attracts the worms, leaving the to
matoes less subject to attack. Hand
picking is too difficult.

most forms of cutworms.

considerable damage.

ting out, will protect them consider
ably against injury.
Bordeaux mixture also acts as a de
terrent.
Late-Blieht.-A rapid blighting of
the leaves, accompanied by rotting Of
the fruit, is due To the same fungus
as that causing potato late-blight. This
is common in the Appalachian re
gion.
1t is controlled by spraying with
Bordeaux mixture, as advised for leaf
spot.
Leaf-Spot.-In l~eaf-spot, the leaves
are covered with dark brown spots

Mt the base of the plant. This is the
worst disease of>the tomato. Spray
with bordeaux mixture and resin fish
and repeat at ten-day intervals. Try
to spray the lower side of the leaves

Mosaic Disease. Mosaic disease
crumples and distorts the leaves ana

and his despair.
The photographs reproduced here
with have real significance. In Presi-
dent Harding is seen the biggest man
in the United States" playing golf for
enjoyment. for relaxation from The
tremendous labor and responsibility of
his high place and for the %preserva-
tion of his health and vigor.
In John b. Rockefeller is seen the
richest man in the world" playing
golf because with all his miliions-or
is it billions?-he knows no keener
enjoyment. no sport more fitted TO his
advanced age. no better method of
prolonging his years.

whose championship skill is a mark
for every aspiring golfer TO shoot at,
whose instruction is adding yearly TO
the good golfing of the country.
A sure indication of COLTS increas-
ing popularity is that there is a wide
spread movement to reduce the cost
of the, game. Every municipal curse
with nominal charges Increases local
enthusiasm and adds to the number
OF players. This is the secret of the
success of the commercial course-it
is cheaper to pay II green's fee than
to belong to a golf club that spends
quite half of its revenue on social
activities. Deflation of golf expenses
is the topic of conversation among
golfers everywhere.
Golf in certain of its phases makes
for democracy and is a big help to
the m%elting-po- process. 1t is easily
seer that municipal courses in this
respect function much like the com
muniiy centers and Fairgrounds. Love
of the game, like politics. makes
strange bed fellows and honest COM
petition is a great thing to bring me

President Harding, the other day,
paid his dues in the Washington News
paper Golf club. The Presidents note

Perhaps are explanation of the hold
the game has on all kinds of people
is that no ~able-bodied man or woman
grows too old to play and boys and
girls soon grew old enough to learn the
fundamentals and start TO play.
