BLAMED
BY MILLS ON
EUROPE

DETROIT, Sept. 20 Q.N.S0.
Just when the United States was
on the verge of recovery, events
in Europe brought about a Secon-
Diary economic crisis. Ogden l..
Mills, Secretary of the Treasury,
told the Republican State conven
ton here today.
Speaking in behalf of the candi-
dacy of President Hoover, Secre-
tary Mills asserted that only
through the prompt action of the
President was the country saved
from near disaster.
Recovery Held Stopped
On the other hand, he said, the
Democrats threatened to pass a
program that would have meant
economic ruin.
In 1881, Secretary Mills de.
clared, the United States had ad-
justed itself to prevailing eco
nomic conditions and "it is not
unreasonable assumption that re-
covery from our depression might
well have begun many months
ago"
Cites German Collapse
But fisSures in the economic
structure of Europe, he said,
brought on by the destructive con-
sequences of the World War, re-
suited in the fall of the Credit
Anstalt, Austria's greatest bank,
the collapse of Germany's credit
system, and abandonment of the
gold standard by Great Britain,
and finally an attack on the
American dollar.

POSTAL CLERKS
FIGHT NJ CARL

The executive committee Of the
National Association of Postoffice
Clerks will make a determined
fight in Congress to have modi-
fled some rulings Of Comptroller
General j. r. McCarl interpret
ing the economy bill, as well as
against the bill itself.
In announcing this campaign,
Thomas E. Dolan, president OF
the postal group, particularly pro-
tested McCarl's ruling that sub
stitute postal clerks whose rate
Of pay exceeded $1,000 a year
must take an 8.3 per cent cut,
no matter if their actual work is
only for a few days a year.
Redress for 1900 postal en-
ployes who lost 81 days pay be-
cause they did not retire at a
certain time also will be sought,

and hope to see him back in Office
soon.
After short discussion of business
matters, the lecturer, Mrs. Strycker,
took charge of the social program.
Mrs. F. M. Wheeler read an article
from Wenatchee paper giving figures
comparing the high freight rates of
our railroads with the cost of shipping
fruits and farm products overseas.
Marie Weber read an article from
the Washington Farmer, on how to
beautify home grounds, which con-
tanned many hints on the proper plac-
ing of shrubs, trees and flowers of
various kinds.
Gertrude Upton read another article
from the Farm Bulletin, also on the
beautifying Of the home, emphasizing
the use Of climbing vines, grape ar
bors and rustic summer houses.
The drill team, which has been un-
der the charge Of Mrs. John Holecek
during the past season, made It's first
appearance and everyone was pleased
with the work, which was very cred
liable to the eight boys and eight girls
who formed the team. The formation
and figures represented were well acted
out in the heart, anchor, cross, wheel
double cross and others.
Mrs. Holecek is to be commended
for her labor and patience in this
work, as also are Mr.. and Mrs. P. j.
KalkWarf, who have rendered unfail-
ing service with violin and piano
throughout the practise period.
An old-time dance completed the
program, the music being supplied by
our Grange musicians, Mr.. and Mrs
Kalkwarf and everyone went home
thoroughly satisfied with the evenings
entertainment.

take the proper steps at the proper
time to control spread of the insect to
other fields or other parts of the same
field.
The adult of the strawberry root
weevil is a black beetle incapable of
flight and hence must get from place
to place either by walking or by being
carried there on utensils or crates that
may have been in the area agected.
The adult beetle emerges in this area
from the latter part of May to prob
ably well along in June. After emery
ing they migrate to new areas for
few days period and then begin egg
laying. Ech female lays about fifty
eggs. These hatch and develop into
very small worms which winter over
and then, because of their rapid growth
and habit Of feeding upon roots, de-
stroy a large part Of the root system
OF areas where they are at all plen-
tiful. 1t is this rapidly growing larvae
stage that can be found In the fields
at this time and which will change
to the beetles in May and June to
spread over the patch
A few years ago poison bait meth
cd of control was developed This bait
is effective only when used against the
adults and should be distributed at the
time that the beetles begin emerging
This bait kills the adults, then pre-
vents egg laying and the consequent
control of the infestation at least ia
ken to the point where economical
control has been secured. Good bait
will usually get from 95 to 80 per cent
control. Nothing can be done that is
economical to rid the patch of the lar
vac at the present time. Careful check
therefore should be made on the fields
to determine whether weak plants here
and there may be affected by the Weev
il and if so, steps taken to prevent
their spread when the proper time ar
rives
A commercial bait has been pre-
pared known as the Go West. The
Washington Station and the Irrigation
Stations have both experimental with
home made bats and there is some
evidence that newly prepared bait
seems to be a little more effective
Steps are being taken to get informa-
ton on availability of basis of these
BATS Further information will be Civ
Ell later.

ROOT WEEVIL
MAKES APPEARANCE HERE
By County Agent q. G. Durdle


The strawberry root weevil is be-
ginning to make it's appearance in
strawberry fields in the lower valley.
Spots in the field at this time show
a lack of vigor when examined and
have shown quite an infestation of the
of many of the feeder roots. Straw
berry growers of the county should be
on the lookout for danger points and
