Plant Louise Traced
To Place of Hiding

Orono, Me, March ,2.-(AP)-The
plant louise has been traced to its lair.
Among the many varieties Of aphid
which prey upon growing plants by
sucking their juice this particular
species is noted for its partiality for
cotton, cucumbers, melons and
squashes. 1t gets it's scientific name,
Aphis gossypii, from the botanical
term for the cotton plant. Gossypium.
Long familiar to the farmer, this
pest has been hard to fight because
its source could not be found. 1t
does not lay it's eggs on the plants
which it attacks and until recently
nobody knew where it did hide them.
1t remained for DIR. Edith NJ, Patch
to discover that the eggs are deposit
ed on the stem of the common gar
den orpine or live-forever.
DR.. Patch. member of the ento-
biological department of the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station. has
studied aphids for more than twenty
years. Her long experience with
similar mysteries led her to suspect
case of dual personality. She knew
that aphids sometimes hid in dis
guise. Noting collection of small
glossy black eggs on the stem of the
orpine she felt that this might pro-
vide clue. A series of experimental
rearlngs in the laboratory established
the fact that the orpine aphid found
during the fall and spring and the
cucumber aphid found in the summer
are one and the same species.
THE application of this bit of de-
tective work." said DIR. Patch lis not
far to seek. The destruction of
orpine in the vicinity of valuable
melon and cucumber crops gives a
heretofore unknown method of at
lacking the insect. Or where that Is
not desirable, cutting and destroying
the orpine stems in the fall, after the
eggs have been deposited. will serve
successfully to combat the pest"
The orpine, known botanically as
Sedum telephium, is a species of
stonecrop with fieshy leaves and pink
or purple flowers. It is a native of
Europe but is widely cultivated and
occasionally naturalized in this
country. In olden times it was con-
sidered valuable In helping to heal
wounds.

GOOD WILL

The fire which completely destroyed
the Ryerson school building at Good
Will Farm for girls, February "a, pre-
sents some new and serious problems.
Most of the text books were saved,
but the furniture including the piano
was lost. Wednesday morning, with
the rescued text books, the girls
graded school opened at 8 o'clock in
the house known as Sunny Side" near
Marten Stream, this house having
been used as hospital at the time of
the cases of scarlet fevel last spring.
BY this arrangement the girls gram
mar school and the sewing school lost
less than full day.
BY the conditions under which the
Ryerson building was given 1t cannot
be rebuilt, but a school building from
some source must be provided, The
situation presents fine opportunity
for someone.
The directors Of the Good Will
Home Association have under consid-
Grafton the construction of a new
water system, and plans and specifica-
tions for 1t were made by experts last
summer. 1t Is conceded by men pres
emit at the fire that If the water-system
could have been constructed last sum-
mer the Ryerson would now be stand
ing.
