This total for the budget i3 exclusive of the-large financial op- erations of the 3,300 activé Red Cross Chapters, which, it is estimated, will |’ more than double the total. War Veterans Have First Call First call on Red Cross funds is for the disabled ex-service men, of whom 27,487 were receiving treatment from the Government on June 1-last. This work for veterans and thelr families in a wide variety of service,that the Government is not authorized to ren- der and for which it has neither funds nor facilities has the call on $3,030,602.90 during the current year, or about $366,000.more than was ex- pended last year for soldier service. | Adding the funds disbursed in this humanitarian work of “physical recon- stitution following the World War by the Chapters throughout the_country will approximate a total for thé cur- rent year approaching $10,000,000. This work,-in the opinion of the Sur- -~ geon General's office, will not'reach its peak before 1926. Through its Chapters the-American Red Cross is equipped to find the in- dividnal ex-service man, help him in his problems and difficulties, provide ilomediately for his mnecessities, and open the way for him' to the Govern- ment compensation and aid to which he is entitled. ' ‘The extension of this work to the families of such ‘men proves to them that the Red Cross has lost none of its Sympathy nor wiil’ to service manifested in wartime. Sim- )lally the service goes out to the mien till in the Army and Navy, 11,087 ‘of whom were under treatment in Gov- ernment hospitals on June 1, 1922, Greater Domestic Program This year—after fiveé years of con- structive effort during the war and sfter the armistice—brings with it a || greater responsibility for domestic service to the American Red Cross. The budget for foreign operations, " however, totals $3,404,000, but of this amount $1,834,000 is for medical re- liet and hospital supplies for Russia, which is a part of the gift made by the American Red Cross in 1921 to the Russian famine relief work of the American Relief Administration pro- gram. The child health service in Eu- rope continues, moreover, and $654,- 000 is appropriated for this work un- dertaken in 1920. Other items In thé stringently diminished foreign pro- gram include $200,000 to suppert the || League of Red Cross Societies, $22,- 000 for nurses’ training schools instiy tuted by the Red Cross abroad, and $600,000 for liquidation of the general Red Cross foreign relief program. Prepared for Emergencies For disaster relief the Red Cross bas set aside $750,000, and. for emef- gencies In Chapter work $500,000 to be available for domestic, insular and foréign demands. This is more than $395,000 above Iast year’s expen- ditures. For service dnd assistance to . the 3,300 Chapters and thelr branches $1,293,000 is provided by the Natlonal organization. Other budget itéms of [mportance in the domestic program include $200;- 000 for assistance to other organiza- ticns and education institutions for training ‘Red Cross nurses and work- rs; $190,000 for Roll Call assistance || furnished to Chapters; $100,000 for unforeseen _contingencies. Of the total budget less than $500, 000 is allotted for yndnagement in the National organization. - No eash esti- mate, of course, is possible: 6" welgh the value of the service b; volnteefi in the Chapters.

This need for a_large quantity of food is probably due to the intense activity of the little animal, for-experiments work at any hour of the day or night, ;whenever its ways require repair- {ing or it is in need of new sources of 0od supplies.

CONTROL CURCULIO BY SPRAY Good Progress . Made in Georgia in Overcoming Infestation—Big Peach Crop Produced. One of the best peach crops ever produced in Georgia has just been harvested, it is reported to the Unit- ed States Department of Agrlculture. Very good progress was made in over- coming the heavy curculio infestation. All varieties, through to the close of the Elberta season, have been un- ustially free from curculio larvae, Careful investigations of commerclal ofchards treated according to the ad- vice of department and state special- ists showéd that curcullo damage was not ‘greater than an average of ‘one wormy peach in edch five-eighths bushél, basket. In thesé orchards droppétd fruit was picked.up and de- stroyed, and cultivation for the de- struction of pupae practiced, in ad- dition to very thorough spraying.
