Monmouth Reports
Damage to Corn
by the Wire Worms

A report from Monmouth was re-
ceived by State Horticultural G. A.
Yeaton on Saturday that wire worms
were destroying sweet corn in that
section. At Days Corner a field of
corn was reported to be practically
ruined.
Poisons have no effect In the con-
troll of the wire worm menace, Mr..
Yeaton states. The only way to
combat it is by clean cultivation,
blowing late in the fall to break up
the pupae cases so that the action of
freezing and thawing will kill them.
Late blowing will bring many of the
adult worms to the surface where
exposed to the elements they will
die
Mr.. Yeaton plans to make a trip

French Deputies
Ratify Treaty for
Naval Limitation

Paris, July 7.-(By A. P.).-The
French Chamber of Deputies this
evening ratified the Washington
treaty for the limitation of naval
ornaments and capital ships by
vote Of 400 to LOG.
It was announced this evening
that the Chamber of Deputies would
discuss next Monday the Washing
ton treaties relating to the Pacific,
the use, Of gases in war and the pro-
lection Of neutrals.
It was the general impression in
French political circles that the ac-
cords would be promptly ratified.
Charles Guernier, reporter for the
Foreign Affairs Commission, spoke
on his report favoring ratification of
the treaties with slight reservations.
During his speech the deputy re-
ferred to the figures of tonnage of
capital ships as being Imposed
upon" each nation. At this, Ex-
Premier BRAND, who headed the
French delegation when it went to
the Washington conference, jumped
to his feet and, speaking with in
tense earnestness, said:
mo conditions were imposed upon
France, and the figures of tonnage
adopted for capital ships have no
influence over the other units. This
French liberty of action concerning
light cruisers, torpedo boats and
submarines remains absolutely in
tact"
from his seat on the Government
bench, said:

NJ. Guernier concluded with plea
for ratification Of the accord, waiv-
ing the reservations which hereto
fore had been contained in his re-
port.
Deputy Sevene. reporter for the
military and naval commission,
speaking in favor off, ratification,
said that without the Washington
Treaty Great Britain and the Unit
ed States could easily have built
100000 tons of capital ships, while
France, owing to her financial situa-
ton, had barely the means to enable
her to reach the $4,000 tons allotted

BRAND retortcd:
THAT proposition was for the pur-
pose of giving France a basic figure

Guiding large and small units"
Berthon insisted that the demand
had had the worse possible effect
in America"

Colonies. delegate to the Washing
ton meeting, interviewed at this and
said the emotion aroused in the
United States was not nearly so keen
as that created in France by the OPP
position to the BRAND government in

Nc provision is made in the amend
ment for a different apportionment Of
the hours of labor for the purpose Of
making a shorter days work for one
day of the week.
Congress in 1916 enacted a law to
prevent Interstate commerce in the
products of child labor. This law pro-
vided that no producer manufacturer

ment in interstate or foreign COM
merce any article or commodity, the
product of any mill. cannery. workship

uated in the United States in which

tho age of IA years have been en-
ployed or permitted to work, or chill
dren between the ages Of IA and 16
years have been employed or permitted
to-work more than six days in any one
week. This law became effective Sept.
/. 1917 and was declared unconstitu-
tional by the United States supreme
court. June 3,
Soon after the act of 1915 was de-
clared unconstitutional. similar
measure was introduced in Congress.
1t was passed and went into effect
April 25, 1919. The provisions of the
last act were similar to those which
had previously been declared unconsti-
tutional except that it provided tax
on child labor as a penalty for viola
ton equivalent to 10 per cent of the
entire net profits received or accrued
for such year from the sale or DISPOSE
ton Of the product of such mine, quar-
ry. mill, cannery. workshop, factory or
manufacturing establishment. This
law was in effect until May Is, 1922.

that time the employment of children
has been governed only by state laws.
