COMPOUNDS TO KILL INSECTS Experimental‘ Work Recently Under- taken by Speciallsts of the Bureau of Chemistry. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) The development of methods for the manufacture of cheaper and better chemical compounds to kill insects and fung! which destroy large quantities of frults and vegetables each year i3 the object of experlmental work re- cently undertaken by specialists in the insecticide and fungiclde laboratory of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture. The high cost of copper, which is an essentlal ingredlent of the fungicide known as bprdeaux mixture, has led to experiments to determine whether a bordeaux mixture cannot be prepared which will be more effective for each unit of copper present than as usually prepared, thus resulting in a saving of this expensive constituent of the bor- deaux mixture. Studles also will be made of the manufacture of paris green, lead ar- senate, and other compounds of ar- senlc. No systematic study of all the compounds of arsenic that might be useful In spraying has been made, and it 1s thought probable that such & systematic study will lead elther to the development of cheaper sprays, because the constituent elements are cheaper, or to sprays that are more effective than the sprays now used. ! Nicotine as an insecticide will be ‘studied with a view of developing pos- sible substitutes for it, since there are a number of compounds which resem- . ble nlcotine in chemical and toxic properties. It is hoped to develop something that will be cheaper and even more effective than nicotine. A study will also be made of the best and cheapest methods of extracting nicotine. from tobacco products on the farm. Compounds of lime, sulphur, and other compounds which may be used as insecticides and funglicides will be Investigated. Commercial methods of preparing insecticldes and fungicides will be studled under practical conditions of preparation with a view of developing cheaper and more effective methods 'for manufacturing them. The efficlency of the insecticides developed and the question of whether or not they are Injurlous to growing frults and vegetables will be deter- ‘mined by field experiments conducted by the bureaus of entomology, plant industry and chemistry. A method for preparing a commer- clal grade of calcium arsenate has ‘been worked out and a patent obtained for the process. The patent has been dedlcated to the public, and any manu- facturer may use it. The results of the investigation and a description of the process for preparing calcium ar- senate have been published in depart- 'ment Bulletin 750, which may be ob- talned upon application to the United ; agriculture, States’ department of Washington, D. C. ‘WINTER CARE FOR CURRANTS To Eradicate Insects and Fungus Germs Dormant Spray of Lime and Sulphur Is Good. Currants need good soll, and should ‘not be planted too close. The rows | :should he at least seven feet apart, ‘and the bushes flve feet apart in the TOW. At this distance, when -full grown, they will come together in the | rows and leave none too much space between the rows for cultivation and picking. Of course, this is for mar- ‘ket purposes. : For home purposes four or five bushes, if properly taken care of, will give an ample supply. The soil should be rich und kept rich and molst by ample mulching with strong manure. This should be attended to every spring. Currant bushes need some trimming. Every spring they should Lee Black Currants. 'be gone over, and all the new shoots taken out, with the exception of three or four. " All wood and all branches fying on the ground should also be ;:ut away, together with broken stalks. “They should have a dormant spray of ‘Jime and sulphur, of the same strength as used for apples, one gallon of con- centrated solution to nine gallons of water. This is to eradicate scale and flestroy fungus germs. QUITE EQUAL TO OCCASION Female “Heckler” Who Tackled Lady Astor Got a Good Deal of a Surprise, “Lady Astor,” said a New York clubman, “brought more popularity to the Astor name during her election fight In England than either the old viscount, Willlam Waldort, or the new viscount, Major Waldorf, ever suc- ceeded in doing. “She's a clever woman, a witty wom- an, and we Amerlcans may be proud of her though she has deserted us. “On the electlon platform she gave many a striking proof of her ready wit. Thus one evening a sour-vis- aged female rose In the audience and asked with a kind of prim irony: “‘It Viscountess Astor is elected to parliament, will she work to make dl- vorce as easy for us in England as it s In America? “This was a mean blow, a foul blow, a blow below the belt, so to speak, for Lady Astor, through no fault of her own, Is a divorced woman. She countered brilllantly, however, and the blow didn't land. Looking at her ques- tioner in 'a commiserating way, she sald: “‘I'm sorry, madam, you are in trou- ble. “And the house roared with laugh- ter.” HAVE PUT UP BRAVE FIGHT Sumatra Natives for Centuries Car- ried on Warfare With Their Conquerors, the Dutch. Sumatra’s war-decimated population amounts to less than 3,200,000 most of which is not avaflable for labor, the Island, therefore, barely beginning to attract attention, despite its riches in natural resources. Sumatra is im- mense in area and between its differ- ent sections there is little inland com- munication, that which exists being of a treacherous and warlike character. Much of the island remains unex- plored. Other parts such as the whole of Achin, are still fn a state of warfare, which seems destined to end only with the eventual extermina- tion of the resisting tribes. The first hostilities of the Achinese date back to 1580, but for the last forty years fighting has been continu- ous, costing n e than 200,000 lives in the Achinese war alone. A guerrilla warfare of surprises and ambushes has been going on in the jungles, the determined resistance of the Achinese continuing undiscouraged, although their government has been deposed, and all their towns and strategic po- sitions occupled by Dutch troops. SRR Inside Information. “Every little day,” sald the Slang- ster, “a wise guy gets hep to some new 1dea.” “Just—ah—what do you wish to convey?”’ the Soclal Scamp inquired. “Fver notice how some of these baby vamps mask thelr ears with scal- lops of hair?” “I cawn't say as I have, old dear.” “Well, the hair comes down over the listeners like part of a waterfall, and is tucked up underneath or in the back.” “My word!” 5 .“I've just found out how they do 1t.” “How do they do 1t, tell me.” “They make the bay windows stand out h_;' stuffing little gobs of false hair inside.” “How did you learn that?” «I know a lady who helps to sweep | out a department store mornings.” “My word!"” y “And she says the gobs fall out and clog up the vacuum cleaners.” — Youngstown Telegram. Baby's New Papa. While on a train a woman sat oppo- site me accompanied by a chubby youngster that was just learning to tod- dle around. At one of the stations the v child while she sent a telegram. The conductor assured her there would be plenty of time. Imagine my consternation when the train pnll.e(l out and the woman did not return! With the now screaming child in my arms and beads of per- splration trickling down” my desper- ate countenance, I searched the entire train in a valn endeavor to find “mam- ma.” At the station just ninety miles fur- ther the overjoyed conductor came running into my coach with a telegram from mamma addressed to baby’s new “papa.” And at the next stop, baby's uncles, aunts, and cousins were there to receive it.—Chicago Tribune. Spreading Joy. The joy you give others will return to you with Interest. To be sure you do not help others for returns. That would be mercenary and where it is practiced men soon learn to read the motives that prompt it. The result is a lonesome man in a short time. You will give your joy for the joy it gives you to give it. You feel rewarded a hundredfold in knowing you have helped somebody. Their grateful hearts respond with overflowing gladness and gratitude. It's no wonder you're glad. Yet it's merely the action of the old law that rewards the altrujstic spirit with blessings . e r———— What Did He Mean? She—Promise me that when we marry we shall live somewhere near mother, so that she can slip over.

His car had collided with a tele- graph pole. A crowd gatliered round. “I think my collarbone is broken,” he said to the policeman who bent over him. “If that's all, yer In luck,” growled the officer. “Shure, °twas break-neck speed ye was goin’ at.” His Position. “What is your position on this great question?” “My position,” replled Senator Sor- ghum, *1s somewhat like that of a tight-rope walker. I don’t want to stop to argue or show off. What I want to do Is to get.across to solid ground.” - Making Careful Inquiry. “Those ladles are smoking.” “Quite the thing at an affair of this kind.” “Answer me one question, friend.” “Well?” ‘ “What's the etiquette about asking & lady for a light?” Precedent. “Qf course,” observed the man with a ponderous intellect, “we must show the deepest respect for precedent.” “Qf course,” assented the man with a fountain pen. “But that's no ex- cuse for going ahead writing ‘1919.’” A Champion. “What's Cholly doing since he gradu- ated?” “He's a bank runner.” 5 “He ought te make good at that. He took many interscholastic prizes for running.” Reasonable Fear. “Do you think Bliggins is afraid of ! work?” “Shouldn’'t be surprised. Anybody who has slighted work as much as { he has shouldn’t expect any favors i from it.” A POOR COUNTER. “He's an expert accountant.” T don’t believe it. I played golf with him the other day and the score he handed in convinced me that he had never etudied arith- metic.” Like Folk.

The Traffic Cop. “I notice you don’t interfere with the woman drivers, officer?” “No, I try to make it a little easy for the ladles.” “Yet justice is blind.” “Still, she’s a woman.” Affinity. “I have a dog and a hen that are fast friends.” “What can a dog and a hen have In common?” “These two are both setters.” That Setties It. Willie (excitedly)—Hey, pop, no more plaster can fall off the ceiling. Pop—Is that so; what's the trou- ble? Willie—It's all off. Justified. “Why are you telling everybody at the table my coffee is poor?” “If you will look in my cup, madam, you will see I have grounds for my as- sertion.” Up-to-Date Riches. #“Jones has secured his pile, right.” “Plenty of the long green, has he?’ “Long green, nothing!
