STTALANS: TIGHTEN BELTS uoi'llm‘,or',setter Food Situa- tion Seen by Food Con- i troller at Rome. STIL EATING WAR BREAD 4" gtrikes and Ricts Are Bred by Stead- My ‘inoreasing Cost of Everything M Deop Anxiety to i 000,000 hundredweight last year; the government must import 250,000,000 hundred- ‘weight for bread, which is sold at 20 cents for a two-pound loaf, and means $400,000,000 on hard grain alone; on soft grain the loss equals another 1 $400,000,000; on olive oll the state loses several hundred million dollars. Italy is the only allied- country i budget cannot stand the loss ‘of $800;- WAR ON APPLE LEAFHOPPERS ‘Destructive Insect May Be Materially Checked by Spraying—Injury Done to Leaves. (Prepared by the United Btates Depart- ment of Agriculture.) g The apple leathopper, a destructive insect that occurs in nearly every state of the Unlon, may be materially checked by a single.spraying with 40 per cent nicotine sulphate in the pro- portion of 1 to 1,500, combined with soap, according”to the bureau of en- tomology of: the United States depart-’ ment of agriculture. The solution should be applied agalnst the first: brood nymphs. The same treatment made three or four weeks earlier is effective. agalnst the rose leafhopper, 000,000 & year on grain alone. The | Rice is scarce, too; this year's har- vest shows a shortage of half a mil- lion hundredwelght; the ofl harvest is s0 poor’ the public has less than onethird the quantity doled out last year. There ‘is less than half the quantity of cheese, lard, butter and milk of last year; there is a serious sugar shortage too: : .- No Prospect of Rellef, And ‘the food controller has no remedy to suggest. The public blames -him and his food ministry. He blames the food ministry too, say- ing that such chaos reigned when he took it over last summer that he has been unable to straighten things out and will resign as soon as possible. He told an astonished chamber that he found his ministry buying cheese at 560 cents a pound, .to resell to wholesale dealers, who. doled it out’ to the public at $1.50 a pound. He. added that one great. trouble is the lack of food experts to advise the government in buying foods, s pecially perishable - kinds. And he said he saw no hope for a: better food situation in the near. future unless . people eat less and pull their belts * tighter over empty stomachs. 3 :The perpetual upward flight of food prices in Italy causes.deep anxiety to those responsible for the country’s good order. Recent strikes and civil strife were almost wholly due to discontent caused by the still in- creasing cost of life’s. prime neces- sities and more trouble is yet to come ubless the ypward trend is curbed. Sample “Increases. - -’ Cotton goods cost 800 per cent miore than they did in 1916, woolen goods 250 per. cent, hats and shoes 200 per cent, .shoddy clothes 250. per cent, ‘glass goods 360 per cent. Home- grown produce has increased more than foods imported from America. For: instance,- eggs are now 055 per cent dearer than three years ago, po- tatoes 450 per cent dearer, beans 426 per cent, fresh pork 3870 per cent, Italian lard 286 per cent, beef 311 per cent, butter 279 per cent, cheese 250 per cent, milk 300 per cent, wine 625 per cent. The food control office reports that wine growers made such big profits this last year that they’ paid for the land their wines are grown on from the one -year's gain alone. - ¢ The ever-growing cost- of living in Italy, once the cleapest country in Europe, the paradise of the poor man, seems to be in a vicious circle. Dear food and discontent go hand-in- hand, breeding: strikes, rlots, blood- shed. They again react on local pro- duction_ and cause prices ,to rise .~=~Righer than before. Then follow fresh strikes and disorders; the screw i3 turned yet again and the vicious dircle must be rounded once more. _FOR A TINY BOOK, $75,000 New York Dealer Bought Shakespeare |- ‘Volume in Europe for a Client. + e New York—A copy of 'Shakes- peare’s “Venus and Adonis,” printed in 1500 and classed as one of the most valuable books in the world, ar- rived here in the possession of George D. Smith, a dealer in rare books, a passenger on the Cunard liner Car- mania from ‘Liverpool. Mr. Smith said he paid $75000 for the tiny volume, two by three inches in size and weighing only two ounces.’ The volume was purchased for Henry, E. Huntington of New York.

As a consequence the leaves gradually become under- sized and fail to function normally, thereby retarding the growth of .the troes. rose leafhopper feeds on the lower leaves and produces white or yellow spots on them. SIMPLE RULES FOR PRUNING Absence of Deadwood Will Greatly Enhance Value of Orchard to { Prospective Buyer. In pruning, the following simple practices are observed by leading farmers. ' In cutting out branches which shade the rest of the tree they cut those from which it Is difficult or impossible to harvest the fruit easily .with a ladder. They cut out all the dead wood. It will drop off eventual- 1y, but the abgence of dead wood is one of the signs of a well kept or- chard and: will greatly enhance the value of ‘the orchard to a prospective buyer. 4 ! They dlso cut off all the suckers on the trunk and main branches unless ‘they wish to start new branches near- er the ground. For some time the suckers will only be consumers of the treé food and will be nonproducers, The fl:q; principle of large. produc- tion of firat-class fruit is a large bear- ing surface, exposed. to the sun as much as possible. Many believe they can more easily prune to get sun while the‘leaves are still on the trees.
