strawberry ROOT wEEv11.

Many strawberry fields are
showing damage as a result OF
strawberry root weevil Infection.
The larva of this insect is a small
grub which feeds on the roots of
the plants and when numerous
may cause the destruction of the
entire field. The full grown
larvae measure approximately
3-S of an inch in length, slightly
tapered, usually pure white in
color except the head, which is
brown. They lie in a curved po-
sition in the soil and their APP
pearanee is fairly distinctive. 1t
is in this form that they do the
damage to. the plants.
This white grub transforms into
a weevil, dark brown in color, egg
shaped in general outline, about
one fourth inch long, and one
eighth inch broad. This weevil
lays the eggs at the base OF the
plant, and it is only during this
time Of their appearance around
the plants that any control
measures art effective.
This weeviI can be controlled
by the application of "Go-West''
weevil bait. Apply the bait dur
ing the early part of June
and Immediately after picking
the berries. The recommended
amount of bait is 100 pounds per
acre. and the usual method of
applying this bait consists of plac-
ing a small amount of bait at the
base of each plant. The bait may
be purchased through some of
your local dealers, and should be
applied according to directions.

Expert Opinion On
 Cause of Film Gas

Chicago. May Is (UP)-Bromine. present in X-ray films in the form of silver bromide, may have been responsible for the deaths of many of the persons killed in the Grille hospital blast at Cleveland yesterday Dr. Maximilian J. Hubeney. president of the Pathological Society of North America said today. Dr. Hubeney added, however. that other factors might have been responsible.
 The silver bromide is applied to the films in the form of an emulsion. he explained.
 Tn this combination. bromine is extremely difficult to liberate." he said. Silver bromide is sensitive to light and after exposure to it and in the process of developing, the compound undergoes q chemical reaction. Doubtless after this change bromine can be more readily thrown on in terrific heat.
 "Bromine is q reddish brown non- metallic substance. unstable and easily becomes a suffocating gas. In sufficient quantities it is deadly"
 Dr. Hubeney said the explosion may result in bringing to light in- formation which might be helpful in storing films.

MONEY RATES VARY l IN WEIRD MARKET
Stocks Break Sharply But Re
 cover on "OutIde" Loans

New York. May 1s N-The stock market turned com pletely around to- day. breaking sharply at tho opening when the call money renewal rate was fixed at IL per cent and theL rallytng in spectacular fashion when the money rate dropped to 10 and loans were offered in the "outsids market" as low as per cent. The wide fluctuations in money rates aroused widespread criticism among brokers and stock traders. who were at loss to understand why 1l per cent should be charged on loans at 10:S0 a. m., and then have funds 70 begging less than two hours later at 10 per cent
 The early decline was associated with rumors that the New York Fed erai Reserve bank rate would be lacked up to 6 per cent after the ciose. but by midday rumors. des- cribed as we'll authenticated. were in circulation that no change would be made. Dsspite the heavy increase in new financing last week. some trad era looked for ! decrease in loans be- cause of the substantial decline in the prices of many stocks.
