The codIinE Moth.
Suburban gardens often contain an
apple tree or two. the fruit Of which
would II properly protected from in
sects and disease. provide the owner
with a considerable part OF the ap-
pies needed for the family Unfor-
tunately. few home gardeners have the
proper equipment for taking the
necessary care OF their trees. As
result. fruit trees gradually disappear
from the home gardens. The codling
moth or apple worm is without doubt
the most serious pest of the apple
tree. whether in the home or CONNER
cial orchard.
DR. A. L. Quaintance. in Farmers
Bulletin No. 1910. Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, asserts
that as much as 30 per cent or more
OF the apples on unsprayed trees may
be injured by this pest. In fact. so
complete is the devastation that 1t is a
real question whether 1t is worthwhile
TO plant an apple tree unless facilities
for spraying are planned for in ad-
vance.
The situation is further compli-
Gated by the fact that so far the
only satisfactory sprays for controlling
the codling moth are those containing
arsenicals. Locally there are usually
sufficient rains to wash of much of
the poison before the fruit ripens,
particularly II sprays or dusts are ap-
piled in the early stages of the apples
development. Fortunately the most
opportune sprays are those applied
just after the petals fall from the
flowers and two to four weeks later In
the home orchard, 1t frequently hap
pens that no further arsenical sprays
need be applied because the highest
degree of protection is not often sought.
Recently 1t has been found that
scraping of the dead outer bark from
the trunks of old trees is desirable
since many OF the larvae or worms
over Winter in these recesses. Early
cultivation of the soil about the base
OF the tree is also desirable where
trees are not in sod Wormy apples
are not desirable from any angle as
the fruits do not keep well and are
not satisfactory for table use.
Lead arsenate is obtainable from
various hardware and garden supply
stores. One ounce of the material to
three gallons of water or of spray
solution is required to give substantial
control. Two or three thorough appli-
cations will make an astounding de-
crease in the percentage of wormy
fruits.

COALITION FOR RECOVERY

THE unsolicited bouquet of approval which
President Whitney of the New York
Stock Exchange gave to the federal securities
and exchange commission is typical of the
business government coalition : for recovery
news which is crowding politics out of news
paper columns.
When market control was pending before
congress, Mr.. Whitney was a doleful prophet.
He voiced distrust of government reform
methods. But after a months trial, he has
found that the SEC is not bungling its job and
is not discouraging legitimate trading. Brokers
need not fear that their business will be de-
stroyed nor that the traditional free market
will be disrupted, says Mr.. Whitney.
There are other indications that the par
tisan groups of business men have decided to
stop their political sniping at the administra-
ton and to start attacking the depression with
business weapons. The election may have con-
WINGED them that they are not very expert in
political warfare, and that this administration,
whether they like it or not, may be in the sad
die for some time.
Instead of corralling opposition votes in
congress to block radical legislation at the next
session. it is reported, industrial leaders have
assured the administration that they will
strive to increase employment and thereby
demonstrate that recovery is possible under
the present system. The Pennsylvania rail-
road, for instance, has ordered flfty-seven new
streamline electric locomotives.
There also is evidence that the admins
tration is quite willing to give private industry
a chance to show what it can do in the way of
substituting private pay checks for govern
ment pay checks and doles, private lending for
government lending, and free flow of private
credit for government control. Examples in
clude: The efforts to stimulate housing repairs
and construction by insuring loans and mort
cages, the tentative withdrawal of the Home
owners Loan Corporation from mortgage re-
financing and the lifting of restrictions on the
export of capital.
If there is enough private spending and
lending. there will not be need of as much gov
eminent spending and lending. If private in
dustry does not want imitation, it should make
good use of the present stabilized dollar. If
private industry does not want compulsory
thirty-hour work week, it can best avoid such
restrictive legislation by demonstrating that
the unemployed can be absorbed by other
means.

something that a custodian Of other peoples
money ought to know from the beginning.
What was more important was his discov-
cry that he had been on the wrong track even
before he became an embezzler.
He took the money. that is. to play the
market. He was going to make big killing,
restore what he had taken. put himself on
easy street and live happily ever after; the
act Of ENLIGHTENMENT was simple the product
Of the pressure which go-getting society put
upon a personality that had lost a proper
sense Of values
And his big discovery was his realization
that even If he had got away with it, it
wouldn't have given him what ne wanted.
He learned, that is. that where money is the
one yardstick. the effort to build satisfying
life is almost certainly doomed 10 failure.
And that. after all, is what most Of the
rest Of US forever are finding out; that it is
possible to spend so much Of our time and
energy in making a living that We have none
left for living itself
We take all the force and intelligence God
gave US and apply them to the business Of
getting ahead-and then, presently, We find
ourselves looking wlstfully back on our lives
and saying. WHY'S this all there is to it?"
So We dream Of what We shall do some
day when things break just right for US and
We retire to that little house in the country; or
We use books. or sport, or restless movement
Of one kind or another to escape from our
subconscious dissatisfaction with modern life.
For we have somehow built up society
which cuts us of from those things that are
to be priced above all else-free fellowship with
one another contact with the open earth and
sky. solitude. leisure to SAVIOR such things as
the wind in the leaves or dawn on the empty
hills
And the tragedy of it is that, too often, we
find it out as this banker did-too late to do
anything about it.

THAT'S STRANGE"

A RECOUNT Of the Cutting-Chavez ballots
is in prospect. and perhaps that will be fol-
lowed by election contests first before the New
Mexico supreme court and later before the
United States senate. where the Democrats
Will have more than a two-thirds majority.
Senator Cuttings apparent 1,S00-vote vic
tory. it seems is bitter medicine that the Demo-
Gratis do not intend to swallow if they can
help it.
In 1892. Progressive Senator Cutting sup
ported candidate Roosevelt and the Demo-
cratic party. Then, through two sessions of
congress, he supported the New Deal
1t is still a mystery as to why the Roose-
welt administration chose. in the recent cam
paign. to encourage New Mexico Democrats to
repudiate this eminent New Dealer. The
common explanation is that the administra-
ton in New Mexico was interested less in the
New Deal than in Mr.. Farleys effort to build
up a national Democratic party machine.
Mr. Cuttings plight recalls the remark
attributed to the late Senator Boies Penrose
of Pennsylvania. That blunt and cynical
political boss once heard that a certain man
was travelling about the state making deroga-
tory remarks about Penrose's character.
Hump" grunted Penrose that's strange.
I don't remember ever doing favor for him"

PUBLIC POWER WINS

THE people of Memphis, Tenn, seem to
have been about as thoroughly sold on the
merits Of publicly owned and distributed cleo
trio power as any people could possibly be.
At the recent election, the voters of Mem
phis were asked to approve a 100000 bond
issue to acquire an electric distribution system
for IVA power. BY the amazing vote Of 33,476
to 1948 the bond issue was carried.
Not only is this an unprecedented ma jority
for approval Of a bond issue-especially at this
moment, when voters are loath to saddle local
governments with new obligations-but the
affirmative vote was nearly 10000 above the
total vote ordinarily cast in a Memphis
election.
Whatever the rest of the country may think
of the IVA plan Memphis evidently is heart
lily in favor of it.

Governor McNutt came forth with

his administration has worked up for
revision of Indiana's liquor laws.

about ripe for the Governor, canny

his Pleas Greenlee. not so dumb as
oft pictured. and his shrewd, able
lawmaker, Jacob Weiss, to get to-
gether and start drafting a little bill
for new liquor law.

LABOR TAKES TO GOLF

T ABOR disputes in this country are seldom
II exactly parallel with those of the older
lands beyond the seas; but it remained for
striking employees of a factory in Ludlow,
Mass, to bring something absolutely new into
the technique of labor warfare.
These strikers were angry at their erstwhile
bosses; being angry, they sought to take it out
on the bosses property. But the nearest they
could get to the factory was the top of hill
across the river.
So what did they do, They got golf balls
and drivers, teed up, and proceeded to drive
barrage of golf balls at the factory windows.
They drove hundreds of them, and the state
troopers were called out and the thing finally
resolved itself into an old-time pitched battle
But the golf angle was new contribution
to the labor struggle. And considering the
fact that golf has always been supposed to be
the game of leisurely bosses, there is some
thing grimly humorous about this new kind of
tactics

Morri;ssey Retention Urged

comments on Chief MorriSseys
record for honesty and efficiency.
Just stop and consider the wonder
full improvements and modernlza-
ton that Chief Morrissey es-
tabliShed.
Ask your own and the other
police reporters, as I have, what
they think of the present chief.
Ask the average faie-minded
policeman, regardless of rank,
his honest opinion in comparison
to former chiefs.
Chief Morrissey is one of the
few men who ever held that office
with the exception of the beloved
Jerry Kinney, who never has open
ly been accused of corruption.
The indianapolis Times claims
to be, and generally is, a fair
newspaper. Print Chief Morrissey's
record with regard to crime cur
tailment, equipment changes,
and cost savings. I think you
would be rendering a public serv-
ice.
