Many Statewide organizations will

70 an announcement today from the
State campaign headquarters. A list
of memorials for donors to the hos

Among the organizations raising
memorial funds, their gift to be

their name or some other name
designated by them, are the Indiana
Parent Teacher Association, which

BUGS IMJURE STRAWBERRIES
Be Named Root Louise, Leaf.Roller
and Grubs.

Strawberries may be attacked by @
Barge number of insects and diseases,
but the root louise, leaf-rOller, slugs,
weevii, crowp-borer, furnished plant
bug and white grubs are the most i'm
portant. Some years the leaf-rOller
may practically ruin the crop over the
important strawberry belt of the
states. To nurserymen, the louise, leaf
roller and the leaf-spot disease are of
special Importance, since they may be
spread on the young plants.
Root louise has been reported as in
-Juring strawberry fields. In the early
part of the season the lice Matching
from Overwintering eggs on the foliage
feed by extracting sap from the young
growth but later ants carry them un-
dergrOund where they feed on the root
system. Dip plants in nicotine solu-
aion before setting in the spring and
spray infested patches after the over
wintering eggs hatch and before lice
are carried to the roots by ants. Also
destroy old strawberry beds, as they
may serve as breeding places for lice
and other pests of strawberry.
Leaf-rOller, a small active caterpil-
lar, has been the most destructive
pest Of this crop in recent years. 1t
may also attack raspberries and black
berries. The big damage comes
before and at picking time. The win
ter is passed apparently largely in the

Proper selection Of seeds with which
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t should be the aim of every
home gardener this year to grow a
better garden by making the most in
telligent Vuse Of the available space,
not only by employing better methods,
but by planting seeds of the highest
quality. The first cost Of seeds is
comparatively small but it Is very i'm
portant that the seeds planted should
be the very best obtaihable.
Gardeners are advised to secure the
catalogues Of reliable seed firms and
spend little time in going over and
checking up the seeds that will be
needed for planting.
Do not be misled by the highly
colored and much-advertised novelties,
but stick to the standard, well-knOwn
and proved varieties, advise the spe-
cialists. Good seeds should never be
wasted, so figure carefully upon the
amount required and place your order
early before the best stocks are ex-
hausted. Perhaps the seeds can be
bought from local dealers. If not, or
ders should go to seed house in some
nelghboring city, so the seeds may be
received in ample time. When they
are received, unpack and check them
to see that no part Of the order has
been overlooked; then store the seeds
In mouseproOf, ventilated container,
such as a perforated tin box. They
should be kept in moderate tempera-
ture, and where they will not freeze
or be exposed to moisture.
Have Early Vegetables.
Half the pleasure and profit of
garden Is derived from having some
thing to use just as early In the spring
as possible. In many cities and towns
the local greenhouse men grow thou
sands of plants which are sold to
home gardeners at reasonable prices.
1t often happens, however, that home
gardeners do not have the opportunity
to purchase well-grown plants, and
must start their own supply Of early
plants In the house or In a hotbed II
they desire to have their crops mature
early. Among the garden crops that
may be started to advantage in this
manner are tomatoes, early cabbage,
peppers, eggplant and lettuce; even
cucumbers, melons, beets. snap beans.
lima beans and sweet corn may be
started indoors by using flower pots,
paper bands, or berry boxes to hold
the soil.
Where the required number Of plants

B0YS AND GIRLS GARDENS
Youngsters Gain Valuable knowIedgs
From TiIIin0 the Soil; Increase
the Food Supply.

Junior gardeners and members of
the boys and girls clubs have been
important factors in increasing Amer.
ica's food supply. In many cities this
work has been joined with the school
garden movement. This kind OF work
not only produces more food but aches
the youngsters self-dependence and the
value of work.
Teachers have reported that the ef-
fort with the boys and girls has been
more than repaid by the knowledge
OF Nature gained by the pupils. Both
the bureau Of education, through the
schools, and the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, through the
boys and girls clubs, are giving offi-
clal help to the junior garden move
ment.

to Tie Perfect eunehss In
: Stout Paper Bags.

About the most perfect punches Of
grapes we have ever seen were those
grown In the vineyard Of Middle
Western farmer who was fond Of good
grapes, says a writer In an exchange
He rakes It practice to always tie
a large number Of punches Of grapes
In stout paper bags. These bags not
only protect the grapes from the birds,
but ns5o allow the fruit to ripen more
evenly. The lunches are now per-
feet In every way. OF course, as he
says, II would be hardly practicable to
handle all the grapes that way but
for a few extra good lunches Of per-
feet grapes the idea is good one
used by a good many growers.

the dwarf many-flowered varieties, are
useful when skillfully employed In
mixed plantations with other herba-

Use for Thermometer.
About or inches of fine garden
loam is spread evenly over the manure
and the bed allowed to stand four or
five days to warm up before any seed
Is sown. At first the temperature Of
the bed may run rather high, and 1t
is best to delay planting the seeds in
it until it begins to decline. This can
best be determined by planting a ther-
mometer with the bulb about three
inches below the surface 'of the soil.
The temperature should fall below 80
degrees before seeds are planted.
If classified sashes are not avail
able for covering the hOtbed, Sheavy
muslin may be used instead; the glass,
however, makes the most desirable
form Of covering. Care must be taken
to give the bed sufficient ventilation to
prevent overheating, as 1t Is liable to
heat up very rapidly when the sun
shines full upon the glass Watering
should be done during the early part
Of the day and the bed given enough
air so that the plants will dry off be-
fore night. The bed should be closed

when seen on wing has brOwnish
appearance, the fore wings being also
marked with lighter and darker
streaks. The strawberry grower read
lily detects these In the patch and
speaks Of them as brownish moths or
nillers.
Arsenical sprays are effective IL ap-
piled at the right time. Watch for the
appearance Of the moths early in the
spring, usually the latter half of April
and spray promptly with two pounds
of arsenate Of lead powder to fifty gal
Ions of water. The plan Is to poison
the young worms before they have
folded over the two halves Of the leaf
lets as protection while feeding. If
this early spray is not effective. repeat
1t after the crop Is Off and the next
broOds of moths appear In the patch.
Some practice moving and burning
over the patches after the crop is off.
Where this Is done 1t should be SO

stage. Destroy old abandoned patches

PLANTS REQUIRE MOISTURE

Plants take In moisture
through their small feeding root
lets and discharge 1t through the
surface Of their leaves. AS re-
suit Of the breaking Of the roots
in transplanting, the supply of
moisture is cut off and the plants
wilt. To prevent the whiting of
the leaves, says the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, water should be poured
around the roots before the dirt
Is filled in; also the tops of the
plants should be shaded and pro-
tected from the wind for a day
or two to reduce the evaporation
from the leaves.

LABORS RIGHT.

From the Spokane Spokesman
Review
Iowa Republicans in State con-
vention in Des Moines defined with
clarity and soundness the rights of
organized labor and of the individ-
ual citizen.
The platform recognizes "the right
of labor TO organize for its own pro-
lection and its right to act collec-
lively in a lawful manner" but the
Constitution of the United States
guarantees to every citizen the
right OF life. liberty. property and
the pursuit of happiness, and every
individual who wants to engage in
any legitimate employment, wheth-
er he be a member of a labor organ
ization or not. has the right TO do
so without being intimidated or mo-
lested."
1t would be impossible to main
tain a just and continuing govern
ment upon a contrary principle or
theory of human rights. AS the In
dividual owes an obligation to the
government, so the government owes
a counterbalancing obligation to the

dFrom the Washington Post)

Prompt enactment of legislation
authorizing governmental control
and operation OF railroads and coal
mines. which is scheduled TO be in
troduced in Congress today or tomor-
row, is urged by reason and the pub
lie interest. The object of the pro-
posed enabling measures Is to vest
the administration with extraordi-
