4HAMICAN GIVES
WARNING ABOUT
RED SPIDER PEST
BY B. A. HARR1GAN
horticultural Commissioner

Numerous complaints have come
to the horticultural commissioner 3
office during the last few days
about red spider doing considerable
damage to the young cantaloupe
vines. This is the socalled common
red spider (Bryobia Pratensis Gar.
NAM. This species is easily dis
tinguished by the small marginal
plates along the outside of the body
which can be seen with the aid Of
microscope.
The eggs deposited in the fall
hatch at this time of the year and
the mites begin to work. Their de-
velopmcnt is very rapid and their
power of reproduction exceedingly
great so that there are often suffi-
cient numbers to do considerable
damage.
The host of the red spider seems
to be the malva which grows along
roads and ditch banks and surround
ing cantaloupe fields. Malva should
bc sprayed with atomic sulphur be-
fore the red spider spreads to the
adjacent cantaloupe fields. After
more or less general inspection it
was found that nearly all malva has
considerable red spider on it.
This pest can be readily controlled
by the use of atomic sulphur applied
at the rate of 10 pounds to 100 gal
Ions Of water One great advantage
with the use of atomic sulphur is
that il does not burn the foliage
and can be used at almost any
strength, however the above is suf-
ficient.

AMERICANS HELD
 IN TURK HARENS
Bishop Manning Estimates 1OO,-
 900 Girls Are Now Captive

New York. May 3 lP) -- More than Iuo.oo0 Christian women and girls are held captive in Turkish harcms. in the belief of Bishop William T. Manning.
 Ratification of the Lausanne treaty, he told the Girls Friendly society al it's annual meeting yes terday. would mean that the United States assents in silence to these abominations."
 Quoting from a pamphlet made public yesterday by the American committee opposed to the Lausanne treaty, he declared that the figures as to the Christian women and girls were contained in official re- norts 10 the league of nations.
 "Those women, whose husbands have been murdered, are held by force among the wives of the mur- derers." hc declared. Little girls whose Christian parents have been nlassacrod are for sale to any one who will buy, and are subject wholly 10 the will of their pur- chasers.
 Christian girls, as refined and educated as any in America, with no fathers and brothers lott 10 protoc. them. are living in slavery far worse than death.
 "The record establishes the hitherto little known fact of which Kemal and his associates boast. that Alustapha Renal has actually destroyed d large number of Christians and has done infinitely more toward the oYtirpation Of Christians in. the Mar East than any Turkish regime since the birth Of the Ottoman rule in 125S."
 Bishop Manning argued that the treaty surrendered admittedly American rights in the face of the Kemalists having sacked and burn cd the Christian quarters or Smyr- ra. hutchrring 100000 helpless Christian civilians, and eXpcliug &un.o00 just two months before the treaty was negotiated,
 The pamphlet, "Kemafs Slave Market and the Lausanne Treaty" charges that the present Turkish government is engaged in a syste matte plot Through inassacres and conH~cations. 10 eliminate the Christian population of Turkey"

 This case and the fight of Ger 9Ii Chapman. the bandit executed recently in Connecticut. to over throw inc action of President Cool idga in conmuting a 25 year sen- ronce for mail robbery so he might he turned oyer 10 the state for trial on a murder charge. haH" raised similar questions, although differing in many details,
