1 What does it mean to you to know that your
American Red Cross : v '
Is supporting 50,000 French children, . ' ' - . ,. ,
' Sends supplies to 3,423 French military hospitals. j ;
Provides 2,000 French hospitals with surgical dressings -Is
operating thirty canteens at the front line.
Is operating six other canteens at French railway junctions, serving 30,000
French soldiers a day. , . v . ' : . ' ... s r
Operates a movable hospital in four units, accommodating 1000 men.
Is operating a children's refuge in one part of the war zone ; and in another
a medical center, and traveling dispensary, both capable of accommodating more
than 2,000 children. - . .
Has opened a long chain of warehouses stocked with hospital supplies, food,
soldiers' comforts, tobacco, blankets, etc., all the way from the. seaboard to tlte
' Swiss frontier. , ...
Has warehouse capacity for 100,000 tons. . ' .
Has 400 motor cars and. operates 7 garages, making all repairs. '
Had shipped 46 freight car loads of assorted supplies to Italyfrom Franco
' within two weeks after it began operating in the former country. .
Had a battery of motor ambulances at the Piave front four days after the
United States declared war on Austria.
. , , Started a thousand different activities in Italy at the time that nation was In
its most critical condition.
Has established 5 hospitals in England and operates a workshop for hospital
supplies employing 2,000 women. .
. And that 120,000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris headquar
ters of tho American Red Cross from your various chapters scattered throughout the
United States. , ,
What does' all this mean to you? And that is
but a fraction of the work your Red Cross has done
and is doing. It means that without this ceaseless,
: heroic work of the American. Red Cross we could
never win this war.
t, Without your Red Cross quick, vital help to keep
Italy in . the fight for Liberty would not have been
f possible. ; ;., .,
V- Without your Red Cross thousands of French
j soldiers now gallantly fighting for you at the front
would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of food.
II'; And great and wonderful as has. been the work
'' of the American Red Cross in the past, still greater
and more wonderful must it be in the future for
4 now your boy is in the fight
Your Red Cross cannot neglect France, England,
Italy, Serbia, Roumania and little Belgium. It must
give them all constantly increasing help, for the men
of these countries have been fighting our battles.
But now we must all redouble our efforts and
' sacrifices for our Red Cross because a million mothers' .
sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the
greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting
for honor and liberty
.With the help of your Red Cross your boy will

The codling moth or common
apple worm is tho most common
insect enemy of Xfie, apple In this
section. Arsenntor of ? lead is also
generally known ns tho best spray
to use In Its control. However,
there is considerable difference of
opinion as to the best time to 'apply
this sp'iasv, with j'lho possible, ex
ception of the ,;,; first application
which" .suoul.C 'lii)'.nade, aniLlfgeri-'
eraly Is, just n3 tho petals begin
to fall and before the calyx cup
of the blossom closes. '. : '
The time for tho subsequent
sprays Is not generaly understood.
Dy careful experimental work It
has been found that the moth does
not begin to fly until the ther
momecr registers 60 degrees at
3 p. ni. (old time.) As the object
of the first spray is primarily to
fill the calyx cup with poison so
the young worm when ho attempts
to burrow his way into tho 'fruit
will find a poison bait awaiting
him. The second spray is to coat
the fruit at the time the young
worms will appear and will ' enter
the fruit thro the calyx or whsro
two applcB touch each other or
whore a leaf Hes against "the young
fruit. If all tho points thro which
ho ordinarily enters tho fruit are
coated with ' poison very few of
them will succeed in entering the
fruit. Apply second spray after
above temperature occurs. ' Hang
thermometer on limb of tree in
orchard. .
The third spray Is again regu
lated by the appearance of the
moth tint lays the eggs from which
the worm hatches. Tho most
satisfactory way. to do this Is to
place some wormy apples of the
first brood In a cage that Is. so
built tho moth cannot jjscupo when
it hatches and wdtch for the ap
pearance of the moth. This will
occur ordinarily in this ' section
some timo in. the forepart of Au
gust. Huvo this cage so located
that the temperature will be about
the same as in the orchard so that
the modi in the cage will appear, at
tho samo time as those In the
orchard. ' '
In the application of the lead one
pound of the powder or two of the
paste to fifty gallons of water will
do tho work.
Tlie t'heiTy SIiik.
I'or several years tho cherry
trees of Union county have been
partlaly defoliated by a small black
slug. ' Those slugs seemed to be
come suddenly numerous just about
the time , the cherries began to
ripen. This is the cherry or pear
slug and works on both of these
fruits. They feed on the surface
of tbe leaves leaving the skeleton
of the. leaf. . As the trees at the
time this ordinarily happens has
not been able to store any food
supply to niukc iis growth the
following- spring it is seriously In
jured by this pest If they appear
in large numbers or for more than
one Beasor, as the tree is rapidly
weakened by this process nnd often
will die from winter Injury as an
indirect remjt of the work of this
insect. ' '
This is one of tho cusiexl pests
to control If done at tlie proper
lime which is when the cherries

Spray with arsenate of lead at the
rate of 2 to 3 lbs", of the paste to
50 gallons of water or half , of this
amount of. the powdered lead to
an equul quantity of water. This
spray will also help control .the
cherry worm In sections where It
is present. . , - ,
Do not put off this spray , a'pd
wait for the slug to begin Its
ravages before you "get busy" with
your spray material. Do It when
the right time arrives and thus
save your crop and your tree as
well. Thero will be ' many cherry
trees in this valley this season that
will have only a partial crop as
the result of tho work of the slug
last year, the troe. having been
weakened to tho oxtent that It will
not bo able to produce a normal the blossoms will drop off because
