Mr. Wilson ‘appears to be. supersensitive about the rights ‘and prerogatives of the executive. H'e vetoes the bill making appropriations for the legis- Iative, judicial and executive expenses o! the gov- ernment, because congress proposes to.control -the issue of printed propaganda by the various depu?— ments. He argues that the ‘duty of congress is merely to appropriate the money for the depart- ents without seeking to regulate how it is spent. That: 'he holds; is a purely executive function; and it would be a dangerous precedent to perm “eon~ gress to assume the tight of regulation."t' " The occasion for the provision in the vetoed bill was the discovery by congress that the depart- ments were spending two and.a half millions’an- nually to publish 266 periodicals, many of which were frankly-intended to promote the personal and political fortunes of men in office. This fact almost justifies a veto, we admit. & But Mr."Wilson says further that the section of the"bill to which he ‘objects would give the. joint printing committee of ‘congress ‘“power to-exercise censorship over the exécutive departments.” Yo Well, after the performances of George Creel and others; isn’t it about time some censorship was exercised over the printed matter issued so lavishly and without supgrvision' by every bureau head who wants to praise his.own work in print and to dis- tribute the eulogies broadcast? Mr. Lind to Mexico and Colonel House to Europe and Mr. Bullitt to Russia. He has created boards and commissions on his own motion. . "He'has, in fact, done more than any president in many years to magnify the power and authority of the presidency at the expense:of the congress. * And he has got away with it, largely because of the exigencies of war. b : But when congress in the interests of economy seeks to reduce the administration’s tons of printed propaganda, he intervenes with a veto.—~Exchange. SPEAKING FOR THE PUBLIC: Press dispatches say women appeared : before , treasury department. in. Washington and demanded Ireland’s freedom. / A _Since when did Ireland become a part of these United. States of America, anyway? Recently a resolution was reported on’ favorably by the foreign affairs committee in-a vote of eleven to seven ‘expressing sympathy of the public with the_aspiration of ‘the Irish people for a’govern- ment of their own choice. ¢ ‘Do"vyié understand this 'is a democratic country when a committee of eighteen can speak for the “public” of the United States on something the public has not been consulted about? Doesn’t this rather remind’ you of a litle incident which hap- pened some time ago when ‘one man tried to, speak for the “American public?” He later found out. he did not express the will of the public. And may ‘it ‘not happen that these self-styled mouthpieces of the péople may receive the same rebuke from the ‘“public” if they continue expressing their ideas about things with which they have no concern? If these Washington committees would concern themselves with the problems which confront their own country—and there are plenty of them to keep them busy—and leave the affairs of other countries to themselves, the United States might get some constructive legislation passed some time.

(Written for the United States School Garden Army.) Upon what does the success of apraying depend? ‘First, upon a k,now]edge of how the insects in- jure the plant. The gardner must Know whether it eats the leaves, as the petato bug; or sucks the sap; as the harlequin bug’'and aphis; or feeds on' roots, as the. maggot; or cats off the plant as the cut worm. - The insects that feed on the sur- .face of the plant and can be seen are mach easier to control than those that feed on the inside of the plant, or under eover, as the corn-ear worm. Second, a thorough application of the right kind of spray at the right time. Sprays should bé applied in-a very fine mist and the entire plant should e completely covered with the spray mixture. The undersurface of the Jeaves should be sprayed as carefully as the upper surface. The plants should be sprayed as soon as the.in- sect appears. This early spray will kill the hibernating insects before they lay eggs, and so destroy the first brood. If the potato plants are'sprayed as soon as the leaves come through the soil, the hibernating Colorado bee- tles will be killed when they eat their first meal and before they lay eggs. J£ the cabbage plants are sprayed as goon as the cabbage butterflly is seen flying over the plants, the lar- wvae of the cabbage butterfly will be killed before they injure the plants: ‘Usually the early spring broods are so0 few in number that the gardner does not notice them in time to ‘de- For Biting Insects on Plants That ve Fruit Readv to ten.

Frequently gardners substitute 1 gallon of Bor- deaux mixture for 1 gallon of water in making either a Paris green spray| or an arsenate of lead spray.. In this way the plants are protected from insects enemies and plant diseases by the same spray. ¥ Vs Bordeaux Mixture.

Slack 2 tablespoons of stone lime until the lumps break.up into a fine powder:: Then add 1 pint of water and make milk of lime. When ready to ‘use pour‘the dissolved blue- stone and .the milk of lime together into .a ‘wooden : vessel or stone ‘jar and stir with a stick. A Never. use metal.

These broods come in large numbers to injure the crop.

Arsenate-of lead sticks better and ‘is mot so likely to burn the leaves as . Paris green. These sprays are. ap- plied either wet or dry. A wet spray is preferred for it sticks and can be applied to the underside of the leaf. ‘The wet Paris green spray is made as follows:' Mix 1 tablespoon of Pa- ris green and. 1 tablespoon of lime with enough water to make a thin paste, then add 1. gallon of water. The dry spray is made of 1 table- spoon of Paris green and 1 gallon of Time. 2 ‘The wet arsenate of lead spray is made asg follows: Mix 4 tablespoons of powdered ‘arsenate of lead with enocugh water to make a:paste then .add to it 1 gallon of water.
