 Industrial Preparedness
 Industrial preparedness demands consideration ahead of the develop ment of man power, because of the great length of time it requires to prepare industrially," said Colonel Cornwall. We must develop and perfect the lighting forces. We must counteract indifference and we must forget the idea which is prevalent that we did a good job in the last war and will do even better in an other one.
 "We must not forget that we pre- pared for war in 1917 with the Allies holding the line until we could make ready. In the fall of 1918 the war was costing the United States $2,00O,- 900 an hour. Planning in peace for war means not only saving the life blood of our youth, but every. hour We can shorten such a conflict means $2,OOO.000 removed from the shoulders of the taxpayers
 '"rhalt is why we are going ahead in time of peace to perfect plans for war. We will make survey of every manufacturing plant employing 50 men or more. However, in event we find smaller plants that are manu- facturing something vital to warfare, or small plants that have potentiali- ties for expansion, we will include them in our work.
 Wartime Orders
 Contracts are being prepared to be entered into between the War De- pertinent and these manufacturing plants In addition to wartime or ders, these contracts may also pro vide for small educational orders to be placed for the peace-time needs of the army. The army arsenals are capable of producing only 10 per cent of the army's needs, therefore we must look to the manufacturing plants of the country for 90 per cent of our war materials.
 However remote another war in- the United States may now be. we may be sure that such sound national industrial preparedness as is being undertaken will tend to remove 1t still further e

FIGHT ON ORCHARD INSECTS
Campaign Can Be Carried on to Better
Advantage During Winter Than
at Other Times.

Scale insects and mites can be fought
to better advantage during the winter
than at any other time. This is be-
cause spray solutions strong enough to
kill such insects cannot be used when
the trees are in foliage, without killing
the tree as well as the bugs. During
the winter, when the trees are dormant,
such strong sprays as lime-sulphur and
oil emulsions can be used without in
jury to the trees, and with sure death
to scales and mites. Experience has
shown that late winter or early spring,
just before the buds start, Is the best
time to apply such sprays. Every or
chardist should plan on at least one
thorough spraying with lime-sulphur
each winter, as it is the best general
cleanup that can be given to the or.

gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own

PROTECT YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Something Must Be Done to Prevent
Ravages of Mice and Rabbits
During Winter.

Young fruit trees should be pro-
tected at this time of the year from
the ravages of mice and rabbits, &C
cording to the horticultural extension
department of Iowa State college.
Clean cultivation for a distance of
about three feet around the tree is
the only method that will insure pro-
lection from mice. The mice will not
stay where there are no grasses for
nest building.
Many methods are followed to stop
damages caused by rabbits. Wire
protectors secured on the market serve
the purpose very well. These pro-
tectops can be made by cutting half
inch mesh screen into strips Is inches
long and IL inches wide. The strips
are hooked around the tree.
veneered boards are used by some
fruit men, but these boards must be re-
moved every spring, as borers crawl
between the boards and tree and lay
their eggs. Tar paper, old rags and
newspapers are used to large extent.
The best and easiest method of pro-
lection, however, is to paint the trunk
and larger branches with concen-
trated' solution of commercial lime
sulphur. The trees should be painted
now and again in February. Last year
most of the damage was done the first

something about this man who has

That's what we did. Well, sir,
how many do you suppose came

The Colonel pauses to give you
all the time you want to deliberate.
You guess wrong.

perhaps had fallen into the hands
OF youngsters who didn't know any
better"
