Edith Mason, soprano of the Chicago
Civic Opera, and her husband, Dr.
Maurice A. Bernstein, were living apart,

obtained a divorce from her third hus-

Civic Opera.
Miss Mason declined to make state

not be interested in her personal life.
DR.. Bernstein, who has been living at
his Highland Park home, while Miss
Mason remains in the town apartment
said he had retired temporarily to the
suburbs to carry on work requiring
peace and quiet.

Cutworms Injure
Many Vegetables
Use Control Measures as
Soon as Pests Put in
Their Appearance.

Cutworms, a general term applied
to worms that cut off plants close to
the ground, will do the greatest
amount of damage from now until
the middle of June unless control
measures are taken as soon as the
damage begins.
Paper Collar Keeps Worms Away.
Where a person has only few gar
den plants like beans, tomatoes and
cabbages, a stiff paper collar put
around the plants will keep the cut
worms from molesting them, observes
DIR. G. P. Gillette, the state entomol
ogist. Take a stiff piece of paper
about the size of postal card, bend
it into a cylinder and place around
the stem of the plant beneath the sur
face Of the ground so that one inch
or so Of the collar protrudes above
the ground. One must be careful,
however, that no worms are included
inside the cylinder.
Poisoned bait is probably the most
practical means Of control for the sur
face-feeding species of cutworm, Doc
tor Gillette advises. 1t can be pre-
pared by mixing the following ingre-
dents: Wheat bran, % pounds; paris
green or crude White arsenic, pound;
cheap molasses, 2 quarts; water, 2 to
3 gallons. Mix the poison and mo-
lasses in the water thoroughly. Pour
the solution slowly over the bran and
mix them carefully. Broadcast the
poison mixture at the rate of 10 to Is
pounds to the acre in the evening so
that the material will be fresh when
the night feeding takes place.
One Brood Yearly.
The most common species of cut
worms have only one brood a year,
although a few have two broods, Doc
tor Gillette explains. The moths which
emerge from the cutworms lay their
eggs on the ground or on plants.
Worms hatch from the eggs and bur-
row into the ground to spend the
winter. They are hungry when they
emerge in the spring and, quite nat
urally, attack the tender tissues Of
growing plants near the surface of
the ground.

Brown Rot Injurious
to Early Potato Crop
prepared by the United States Department

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculturel
Potato growers in the South should
be prepared to recognize potato brown
rot, a bacterial disease affecting the
early crop potatoes, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
The disease is common in the South
Atlantic and Gulf states potato re-
gions, and, unlike many fungous dis
eases, is often most severe on virgin,
soil never previously cropped to po-
tatoes. 1t sometimes happens that
early recognition Of the disease en-
ables the grower to harvest most Of
his crop of tubers before the brown
rot reaches the tubers. Department
circular oslo, potato Brown Rot"
describes the diseases and its effects
on potato plants and tubers, tells
how the disease spreads and the best
procedure to minimize losses. This
publication is now available for free
distribution. Those interested should
apply to the Office Of Information,

ture, Washington, D. G.

Try one of the long standing spin
aches.
Barley should 60 into the ground be-
tween oat planting and corn planting
time.
The ideal rotation for potatoes Is
short one in which potatoes follow a
legume.
Alfalfa is not only one Of the most
valuable of feed crops but is also one
of the most abundant yielders.
Sodium chlorate, the chemical which
"gets" the weeds, is cheaper now than
it will be when the demand Is at the
top along in the summer. Buy now.
The newer concentrated fertilizers
prove satisfactory If used in smaller
quantities than the less concentrated
fertilizers and If we'll distributed In
the soil.
Squash are not ordinarily given the
place and attention which they de-
serve. If you are growing squash or
pumpkins this season. save the mature
ones for storing.

hoppers on potatoes increased, but the
number Of aphis increased with the
higher pressures.
The life of a fence post may be
doubled by proper treatment with ere
osote. Soak the butts for two to six
hours in creosote heated to a tempera-
ture of 22O degrees Fahrenheit. Allow
to cool. An old oil barrel will serve
for the job.
On account of its plentiful growth
of root and top, even on poor soils,
sweet clover probably is the most
efficient Iegume for supplying organic
matter and nitrogen. Some of the
best potato growers use a two-year
rotation of wheat or oats, in which
sweet clover is sown and then plowed
down the next spring for potatoes.

Do Not Be Rough With
Potato After Digging

Assault and battery on potatoes is
too expensive to practice, and espe-
cially this season when prices are
likely to be high, E. V. Hardenburg
of the Cornell university warns potato
growers. Careless digging will cut
and bruise the tubers and lower the
market value; but whoever has to
store the crop over winter will Shout
der the worst loss in storage rots and
shrinkage.
Apples, which are little more per-
ishable than potatoes, are carefully
picked, packed and stored, Professor
Hardenburg states. Yet potatoes are
thrown into crates and dropped heav-
lily into storage. Bruised, stuck cut
and wet tubers are subject to fungus
rots, and can be graded out at home
and used before rot occurs.
After digging, an hour in the sun
will set the skins so that handling
will not peel them. Then the potatoes
may be picked up in standard bushel
crates and hauled directly to the stor-
age. 1t is a waste Of labor to pick in
baskets. to empty the baskets in
sacks. and then to dump the sacks;
besides it is harder on the potatoes
according to Professor Hardenburg,
who has been studying the subject
in the field, and at the New York
State College Of Agriculture.

Paper Mulch Is Good
for Home Gardens
Is Particularly Valuable to
Control Weeds.

For the home gardener paper mulch
is worth all 1t costs for the satisfac-
ton Of controlling weeds. The paper
is particularly valuable when the gar
den is neglected during vacation time,
says Prof. Fl. G. Thompson of Cornell
university. However, he does not rec
ommend its general use by CONNER
cial gardeners, because in experiments
conducted at the New York state COL
lege Of agriculture nearly as many
crops failed to show profits from the
use Of the paper as have been in
creased profitably.
In the experiments the yields from
paper on well-cultivated plots of beets,
cabbage, beans, tomatoes, peppers,
muskmelons, and potatoes were COM
pared. The differences in yields from
the mulch paper was Influenced by the
weather; when there was ample rain
the paper was less profitable than
when the rainfall was light, he said.
The paper Is expensive and so is
the labor to lay it properly, so con-
siderable increase must be returned to
make the added expense pay profits.
Because of the high cost it should
not be expected to show profit with
crops which have low value to the
acre. The paper may be expected to
increase yields and hasten maturity
under normal conditions and, in addi-
ton, it may increase the value of the
crop through improved quality.
