CHRISTOPHER ARMY
is SPREADING OUT

The grasshopper army. which
invaded parts Of Carlton and St,
Louis counties a few weeks ago,
has been spreading over larger
areas in the counties named. and
a different species has been do
ing destructive work in Henne'
pin county, according to reports
received by A. G. Ruggles. state
entomologist. University Farm.
St. Paul.
The situation is serious enough
to compel Mr.. Ruggies to say
that organized warfare against
the hoppers may become a neces-
sity.
The best defense against the
ravages Of the pests is poison
bran mash. says Mr.. R.isgles and
j. r. Parker. a specialist in grass
hopper warfare. who is associated
with the state entomologist.
To prepare this deadly bait,
100 pounds OF course wheat bran
is spread evenly over a tight
floor. In suitable vessel is then
mixed 4 pounds Of crude white
arsenic or paris green with "a

ORCHARD AND GARDEN


II costs little more to have a
number one grade of fruit, but
the ease of selling and return
always justifies the added cul-
ture.
Fresh products, pure water,
care. cleanliness, good jars and
proper heat are necessary for
canning fruit and vegetables.
The red-berried elder has been
most attractive shrub this year.
The bright red berries against a
green background makes a very
good specimen plant.
The basket or box is in much
greater demand as a fruit pack
age than any other form because
it is easier to handle and exhibit.
Even the cranberry growers find
the box more satisfactory than
the three-bushel barrel.
These are the days that our
lakes, rivers and woodlands are
appreciated. Have you noticed
the large army of campers that
pass over our highways everyday
now. We need more large areas
of land and water as natural
parks to take care of this grow
ing army of outdoor lovers.
While pruning and spraying
are needed in every orchard, a
little attention given to the nu-
triton needs of a tree frequently
gives fine returns. A tree must
be fed if it is to be productive.
One of the largest perennial
flower nurseries in the north
west is located at Bayfield,. Wis.
Seeds are sown in rows in the
open ground and transplanted or
thinned. The bog and cool nights
give ideal growing conditions.
Snow gives fine protection in
winter.-Le Roy Cady. associate

Tension In Race In The National LeSSenS A Bit

NEW YORK, August 27.-The ten- sion around the top of the National league became not so tense when the Cincinnati Reds, after winning nine games in a row, lost the second game of double header in Boston Monday, being shut out to o. The Reds had taken the first frolic by the score of to 2. As the Giants beat the cubs at the polo grounds by thunderous sixth inning in which they scored seven runs the champions passed further into the lead and nov have margin of four full games over the Reds. The Giants won 8 to 4.
 The Pirates, who are in third place and close enough to blow their breath down the necks of the Reds, were not playing Monday.
 The Cardinals got the worst of home-run festival in Philadelphia. Each team made three of the over- size slaps, but the Phils won in the last half of the eleventh inning, 12 to II. Cy Williams made one of the homers, his thirty-third of the sea- son, and now leads Babe Ruth again. Tanks Finish strong.
 The Yankees lost the series to the Indians in Cleveland, but they took the final game Monday, the last game of the season in the west for the New York team, 10 to 8.
 The American league champions re- turn home now but they will not play regular game until Thursday when they entertain the Athletics on the Yankee lot in New York. This was the only bad trip of the season for the Tanks. When Detroit ron the recent series in Lizzie's own home town, the Tanks acknowledged their first loss of a series in the west this season.
 Detroit beat Washington Monday 3 to 6, and the Athletics won from St. Louis to 1. Blankenship blanked the Red Sox, 2 to in the game at the White Sox yard in Chicago.

 Luis Angels dressing room does not boast a shower bath. Yesterday he decided to bathe, Lavalle the trainer, shouted for buckets of wa ter.

Soon half a dozen boys were carrying water to the dressing room.

BiU Johnston
 Has Great DGviiS
 Cup Net Record


 NEW YORK, August 27.-A per feet record in Davis cup play, made by little Bill Johnston, the bantam weight Californian, in 12 matches extending over his three years ex- perience as a member of the Ameri- can team, will be at stake, along with the cup itself, when the chal- lenge round begins Friday afternoon at Forest Hills, L. l., with the Ameri- cans again defending the trophy against Australia
 Calling attention to little Bills record, the United States Lawn Ten his association points out that only one other Davis cup player in the long history of the tournament has Gcne as well. That was Hugh l.. Doherty of the British Isles team, who won all of the 13 matches he played. But, the association reminds, Doherty played in a day before the development of players of interna. tiCnal calibre in all parts of the world.
 William T. Tilden, rated the best in the world at singles play, has been defeated only once in 13 Davis cup matches, and was only partly re- sponsible for that failure. He and vincent HlChardS lost a dOuDies match to the Australian team here last year.
 Whether Johnston and Tilden will be able to maintain their perfect Singles records against James 0. An derson and J. B. Hawkes. of Australia this year is mooted question" the U. s. l.. T. A. observes Anderson is, without doubt, one of the greatest singles players in the world His record since his recovery from last years illness is extremely impress sive. Hawkes. is also in the top flight of international players when on his game. If they are playing to the limit of their ability and form when they face Tilden and Johnston, perfect Davis cup playing averages are likely to be shattered.

 O O O
 HOmers Came In Handy.
 OConnell and Bentley hit home runs in the last half of the ninth in- ming of Sundays game with the Cubs and won the game. O'Connell saved Saturdays game with ringling catch in the ninth. Gowdys catching Is it's own recommendation. Bentley began badly, having reported for the season abundant in flesh, but he has now won II games. Jackson is no Frisch at shortstop, but with Groh and his bottle-ba out of the game for the rest of the year, and with Frisch in Grohs old place at third. there were none better, and many a lot worse to be had, than Jackson.
 This, then, is why the Giants will not look familiar to one who sees them only in their annual spectacle with the Yankees. Perhaps in am other two years even Groh Frisch and Kelly will have disappeared, leaving the famous million dollar in- field not so much as one thin dime to clink against another.

 "Of course the Yankees have the American League flag won and the Giants look like the class in the Ma tional League. McGraw has a smart hard-hitting ball club. The chief fault in both ball leagues this year has been the shortage of good pitch ing. Pitching means everything to a club.
 The Yankees have fair hurlng staff. Nothing extraordinary. The club hits we'll in back of them We never found the Yankee pitchers diff ficult to bat against. Shawkey, Bush and Hoyt have been the ones that troubled me most, but the rest I've had little trouble with"
