About June the female cane borer
may puncture raspberry canes near the
tips and lay eggs in the tncisions. The
little worms that hatch burrow down
into the pith and cause the canes to
die. When the infested canes are seen
to wilt the tips containing the worms
should be nipped of and burned. The
prompt burning of the old canes after
the fruiting season is also of value in
destroying this pest. There are sew
.ral other insects and fungous diseases
which slightly injure red raspberrfes.
but the above are the only ones that
have caused us losses. 1t seems as II
considerable more scientific investiga-
ton of raspberry insects and diseases
will be necessary before the production
of berries on large scale will be at

RAsPsERRIEs HAVE ENEMIES
Oeus Diseases and Should 0o
Cut Out After Harvest.

Red raspberries are produced on the
wood which grows during the previous
year. Right after harvest the old
canes should be pruned out to give
the hew wood chance to develop to
better advantage. The old wood har-
bors insect pests and fungOus diseases
and should be burned to destroy them.
Raspberry patches are sometimes ru-
ined because cane blight, anthracnOse
or cane borers obtain a start. It pays
to control these troubles as much as
possible by clean culture and the de-
struction of diseased and pest-ridden
canes.
Cane blight causes the fruiting canes
to wilt and die. 1t often occurs just
before harvest time when there are
good prospects for crop. Such canes
must'be cut of close to the ground and
burned. The control Of this disease is
not fully understood and IL makes e1-
tensive red raspberry growing rather
risky.
Anthracnose causes grayish spota
with purple margins near the base cs

that law, enduring its evil conse'
Quences for fifteen years and then
frankly casting 1t aside as failure,
has performed an economic service to
the nation. There could be no more
convincing argument against the pas
sage of similar laws In other states
than Oklahoma's disastrous expert
ment.
The Oklahoma guaranty law was
the first of its kind. 1t was enacted
in response to the panic OF 1907. But
experience has only proved again that
there Is no substitute for sound bank
ing. Relying on the fancied security
of the guaranty law, people entrusted
their banking to many who were un-
ft for the trust. Bank failures have
been 80 many that the fund, sup
posed to guarantee deposits, created
by assessm ents on banks, WAS long
ago depleted.
It Is estimated that with total liabil-
tiles created under the law In the
form of warrants and sums owing to
depositors amounting to $4,000, 900,
there are In tho hands of the Banking
Board uncertain assets of nominally
$16.000,000, ranging In value from
zero to only thirty or forty cents on
the dollar, resulting in a deficit OF
many million dollars. Sound, wsll-man
aged banks have been heavily taxed
by assessments to the fund, and the
maximum amount that could be as
sessed on solvent banks Is insufficient
to cover the deficit
1t has been well said that guaranty
laws make for looseness in banking
methods, and saddle on the COM
petent and honest the sins of the In
competent and dishonest.
Let US have only laws that raise
the standard of banking. Let US have
NO laws that debase It.

CONFUSED BY OZARK STAGE
Actors Frequently Are pefuddIsd
When Lights Are Shut of at
End Of Scenes.

In an American quick-fire play there
occurred one rapid change Of scene
which made 1t impossible to fix the
scenery In position. Portions Of 1t,
therefore, were held up by concealed
stage hands. Miss Lord had to rush
onto the darkened stage just as her
stage husband was committing suicide
and utter piercing shrek.
On the night In question she mis-
took her bearings In the darkness, and
gave her Shrek In the wrong spot. 1t
happened to be right In the ear Of one
of the stage hands holding up piece
Of scenery. He promptly responded
to her shrek with another, and fell
over one way, while his scenery fell
over the other. Then the shrieks be-
came general.
Somewhat reminiscent, this, of an.
other story In which an actor lost his
bearings on a darkened stage. The
sudden darkness was used instead OF
curtain at the end of a scene, and
when the lights went up again for his
call he was discovered bowling to the
back-cloth

eIRoLEs FAMOUS IN HISTORY
Garment, Still In Favor, Made Vital
Distinction OF Caste In Olden
TImes-

The history of the girdle, says the
Westminster Gazette. is the history of
civilization, and though. more than
most of the little matters Of mode, 1t
has known very happily how to COM
bine utility and the decorative, yet Its
third and most interesting phase Of all
has lain In Its symbolism. 1t has even
formed bond between woman and
goddess, and II Helen Of Troy would
have been, metaphorically speaking, In
sore plight If she had had no girdle un-
der which to tuck her skirts when she
fed with Paris, how many devotees
would Venus have lacked If she had
had no magic girdle to inspire love and
charm hearts, so that even great Juno
herself, when she wanted very special
ly to please her husband, had to kneel
very humbly to borrow 1t.
In Rome a man without a girdle
stamped himself thereby as a lazy.
goodfor-nothing fellow, while it was
the glrdle which made vital distinc-
ton between matron and maid. Roman
girls wore girdles of white wool, curl
ously knotted, as emblem Of their girl
hood and the unknotting of the brides
girdle by the bridegroom was an i'm
portant part Of the marriage ceremony.
Bernhard, who did nothing by
halves, wore no fewer than eight
girdles when she played the part OF

NEED FOR UNIFORMITY
IN BUSINESS LAWS
How Collection of lust Debts May
Be Prevented by Differing
State Statutes.

An effort to bring about better CO.
ordination and greater uniformity
among state laws dealing with bust
ness and banking Is being made by
the American Bankers Association.
1t Is pointed out that, although the
country is a unit commercially, and
citizens Of any one state may do bust
ness that reaches all over the coun-
try, most laws governing business
transactions are made by the differ
emit states, with application limited
to their own local jurisdictions and
often in conflict with laws in other
states. It is held that state laws
should be uniform so that the same
transaction will not be subject to
different sets OF rules according as
state laws diner.
To illustrate the disadvantages of
conflicting laws, the following illus
tration is given: Mr.. Jones lives in
New York where tho statute OF limita-
lions outlaws q note In six years. He
falls into the error of assuming that
the same rule prevails everywhere.
He visits Maryland and loans $1,000
to his friend, Mr.. Smith, taking q
promissory note. AS the note carries
interest Mr.. Jones is In no hurry for
his money and he believes Smith to
be financially responsible. Finally at
tho end of four years Jones concludes
he has loaned Smith the money long
enough and seeks to collect the note
from him. But Smith can deny liabil-
ity and point to the statute Of Mary
land which Jones IN surprised to
learn outlaws q note after three
years.
Changes Recommended
The particular subjects of legisla-
ton recommended by the association
for enactment by State legislatures
during 1923 include uniform acts on
negotiable instruments, bills OF lad
ing, warehouse receipts, stock trans
fer, and fduciaries.
Under tho head of laws for better
protection of banks In particular
transactions are proposed measures
dealing with limiting liability on GER
titled check; instruments based on
gambling or usurious consideration;
time limit on stop payment; payment
of stale check; adverse claim to bank
deposit; payment of forged or raised
check; deposits in two names; de-
posits In trust; competency OF bank
and corporation notaries; non-pay-
ment of check through error; Satur-
day afternoon bank transactions. and
forwarding check direct to payor.
Under the Federal Reserve and
foreign banking are recommended
laws on membership OF state institu-
lions In Federal Reserve System, and
foreign banking. Penal laws pro-
posed deal with false statements for
credit; Islander and libel OF bank:
checks or drafts without funds. and

The recent deaths of two Italian pa

In 1879 the Marquis de Ray had a

north OF New Guinea. The climate

on favorable terms.
The Italians chartered the steam er
India, and in July. 1850. 500 Of them
left for the supposed paradise. The
severity OF the voyage and the
wretched condition OF the provisions
caused forty-eight deaths en- route.
Port Breton was reached in October,
and there It was found that no prep

colonists. Dwellings were lacking,
the heat was .rightful. food ran short.
