YODER. Four letters, properly arranged, tell the chief reason why a man who led a bush team last year is piloting an American league team on or in the constant vicinity of the top of the cojumn this year. The four let- ters are T-A-C-T. The man’s name is Clarence Rowland. Somebody , has said, and a lot of others picked up the saying, that Rowland’s middle name is “‘Speed.” For the edification of those who don’t know you can add that Rowland’s first name is “Tact.” It would have been short of human for some of the older men on the ‘White Sox register not to have had, however deeply buried in their sys- tems, a feeling that was antagonis- tic when they realized that they busher.” It is not the same in any other line of business. Rowland as deeply realized this. And being not only a student of the game, but a student of human nature, and espec- ially baseball human nature as well, he set out to batter down this feel- ing. Ask any man on the Chicago Am- erican team today and he’ll tell you' that Rowland is the goods. They're for him, tooth, nail and batting eye. They’ll also tell you the reason. It’s because Rowland knew which man to bawl out, he knew which man to slap on the back when he pulled a grand play—and which not to. He studied his men and soon Kknew which one needed a strong verbal poke in a soft spot to get his fight- ing dander up. Where he applied walloping sarcasm to this one, he plastered on a bit of appeal to an- other’s pride, or smeared on a coat- ing of diplomatic stuff that aroused a sense of rivalry in another. To some of the older and more ex- perienced players who were his heri- tage as successor of the beloved Jim- my Callahan, Rowland frankly went for advice. It made a hit. Every- one was tickled in the place he liked to be tickled. But, an unbeliever might argue, how about George Stallings and his bustling, busy battling Braves? That’s easy. Stallings, the grinder and driver, happened to have that kind of men on his team. That’s the reason the Braves copped the Big Flag last year. Every man jack of them were the kind that needed that kind of leading. They got bumped where it tickled them most efficaciously to get bumped. A THOUSAND CHILDREN TO ENJOY HEALTH OUTING Oakland, Cal., July 1.—With the ¢ ‘|idea of giving 100 children a coun- try home where they can come into their own—health and happiness— Mrs. Emma J.

[Prepared by the United States depart- < ment of agriculture.] The squash vine. borer is an insect which is often responsible for the death of the squash, pumpkin, musk- melon, cucumber and gourd vines. The pest prefers, however, the squash and pumpkin vines. It Is not easy to tell Just what is affecting the vines at first when they wilt and die down, but in a short time the presence of the borer may be detected by the yellowish ex- crement, or “frass,” which they force trom their burrows in-the stems. Later natural rot appears at the affected Joints and the stems or leaves become severed. The larvae bore through the stems from the roots to the base of the plant, and through the leaf stalks. In fact, the young larvae may be found in the larger veins of the plants and not In- frequently in~ the vegetables them- selves. The Hubbard squash, marrow cymlings and other late varleties of squash often suffer the greatest injury from the squash vine borer, and the devastations are likely to be more 'S [ A, SQUASH VINE BORER ; B, PUPA; C, FULL GROWN LARVA. acutely felt in the small gardens than where large crops are grown for the wmarket. Not Infrequently crops are lost year after year where the ground is succes- sively planted to pumpkins, squashes or other crops which the borers infest. The Insect is exceedingly difficult to control in that ordinary insecticides and repellents are practically useless. Since the insect passes the winter in the fields which it has ravaged, the ground should not "be replanted the succeeding year to the crops on which the borer lives. Good results have often been ob- tained by planting as a trap crop as early as possible a few summer squashes, such as crook neck and early cymlings, before and between the rows of the main crop of late varietles. The summer squashes attract the borers in such npumberg’ as to leave a much sialler number to deal with upon the late or main crop. early crop is harvested, or earlier if the ground is needed for the main crop, the summer squashes and vines are raked up and burned to destx‘oy all larvae which they may harbor. The same treatment is followed after gath- ering the late varieties. This method has proved profitable where used in New Jersey and should produce good results farther north. In the south, however, where well defined broods of borers appear, it may not be so effi- clent, but is at least worthy of a thor- ough test. The borer may be greatly reduced in numbers by lightly harrowing the sur- faces of the infested flelds in the fall so as to bring the cocoons to the sur- face, where they will be exposed to the elements, and then plowing in the spring to a uniform depth of at least six inches so that the adults will not be able to come to the surface of the soll. Another cultural method which tends to keep down the damage done by the borer i3 to keep a small part of the vines after they have attained some length covered with earth so that the secondary roots will be sent out to support the plants in case the main root is injured by the borer. Still an- other aid is keeping the plants in good condition, free from"other insects and disease, and well nourished. When the vines are so badly infested as to be incapable of-bearing fruit they usually die at-once and should promptly be taken off the field and burned. As soon as the crop is dead the old vines should also be destroyed. The old time remedy of cutting the borers out of the vines, although la- borious, is useful. It is about the only method open for employment after the borers have entered the vines. A sharp knife s used, and the cut made lengthwise of the vine. As several in- dividuals often infest a single vine, it Is best to cut longitudinally, so as not to sever the vine from the root stalk. The wound will heal more quickly if covered with moist soil. The location of the borer in the vine may be readi- ‘ly detected by the accumulation of yel- low “frass,” or excrement, at the point where it is working. 8pray For the Onion Maggot. The onlon maggot, which does a. lot of mischief, may be fought with a new spray compounded to kill the fly which lays the eggs from which the maggots come. This spray should be applied, before the maggots appear, with a coarse apnyer. The mixture con- sists of one pint of New Orleans mo- lasges, one-sixth of an ounce of sodium -arsenite and one gallon of water.
