of October 21 Arrive;

Instructions received yesterday by W.
B. Aver, Federal food administrator for
Oregon, from Herbert Hoover. ITnited
Mtates food administrator, are that, in
addition to a wheat let. and meatless
mea each day. Tuesday should be meat
lens and Wednesday a wheatless day.
' Mr. Hoover emphasizes the necessity
for reducing the consumption of pork
product, as there is a great shortage
In supply, owing: to the light weight of
hogs received by the packing-houses.
Tills condition is attributed to the hitfh
coFt of feed. .
"A special plea is also made for the
"avins of sugar." said Mr. Ayer yester
day. "Mr. Hoover states that there will
be a positive shortage In France, of
J00.000 tons between now and the first
of the. year and that France la facing a
crisis that oan only be rclievnd by the
reduction of sugar consumption in
America," .
The annual consumption of sugar per
capita in the ITnlted States is 90 pounds,
Oreat Britain has limited the per capita
consumption to 26 pounds, and France
to only 18 pounds. The people of Ore
gon are asked to do their share toward
aiding France by cutting down the per
capita use of sugar.
"The time for individual civilian
aervice in this war is here," commented
Mr. Ayer, "and it is the patriotic duty
of all to follow the instructions of our
Federal food administration. This duty
is just as important and imperative an
that of the soldier in the trenches of
the front line."
Acting under authorization from
"Washington, Mr. Ayer yesterday ap
pointed Mrs. Jennie B. Kemp as a mem
ber of the Oregon food administration
staff. Mrs. Kemp will outline her own
sphere of activities. For the next few
weeks she will be active in connection

The first consignment of window
cards, which will be issued to homes
allied with the conservation campaign,
arrived yesterday at the office of Mr.
Ayer.-. Oregon lias been allotted 150,000
of thse handsomely lithographed cards
for the campaign -weelc e.t October 21
to October 28..
Estimates of - the number of 'Oregon
families are generally around 145,000.
Mr. Ayer is sanguine that fully 80 per
cent of these .will-be enlisted in the
service of the Jsation through food
conservation when the home pledge
campaign closes.
Everett Ames will have charge of he

handled . by the thousands Instead of
by the dozen, and what groceryman
would have time to handle "em!" and
the bugman waved down an interrupt
tion.
But the gist of it all is this:
Grasshoppers lay eggs by the thou
sands. That desire to lay eggs and
their Jumping prepensities is what
brings them to town Instead of any
avaricious desire to market their thou
sand eggs at 44 cents a dozen. But lay
eggs they will. Blister beetles like to
live also. They enjoy nothing better
than raising little blister beetles, "long
legged, huge-jawed larvae." the ento
mologist characterized the children.
And how those, little larvae like grass-,
hopper eggs! That's all they'll eat. Fine
for blister beetles, but awful hard for
the next generation of grasshoppers.
Ho that Is the way it goes in bug
life. Lots of grasshoppers. Ipts of blis
ter beettles next year. Lotn of blister
beetles next year, few grasshoppers the
year after that.
And then the entomologist closed uf
with the practical end of it and said:
"The farmers and gardeners will
have to use control methods on the
blister beetles next year. As soon as
they are to be guarded against this
office will Issue directions how they
may be controlled."
EDUCATOR'S LIFE VARIED
Miss Oar Armstrong; Ievoted 50
Years to Instruction.
LOS AN;KLKS. Oct. 1. A record of
half a century devoted to the education
of women on two continents was closed
with the death here September 13 of
Miss Clara J, Armstrong, at the age of
70. Since she was 20 years old Miss
Armstrong had ben a teacher in va
rious schools in the United States and
Argentina.
Early In life she displayed an unusual
attitude, for learning. At the age of
four che could read and it was said by
those who knew her as a girl in her
native town of Alden, X. Y., that at the
age of 9 ah had acquired all the fun
damentals of her education. Oraduated
from the State Normal School at Os
wego, New York, she first became prin
cipal of the high school at Buffalo,
N. i., at the age of 20 and later prin
cipal of the State Normal School at
Indianapolis. Ind., where the Clara J,
Armstrong Club still exists as a testi
monial to her force of character and
her influence as an educator.
"While serving in this 'capacity she
attracted the attention of Dr. garmien.
to, then Argentine Minister to the Unit
ed States, but later President of the
republic, who invited her to go to his
country to aid in the development of
education for women there. For 10
years Miss Armstrong was in charge
of a government school for women at
Catamarca, a point 1000 miles inland
and far from any railroad. She left
that school to become professor of
French and natural history of a school
at San Nicholas de los Arroyos, and
from there she went to reorganize a
school for women at San Juan. Subse
quently she became administrator and
principal of the North American Normal
School at Buenos Aires.
During her residence in Argentina
Miss Armstrong made several visits to
Spain to study its art and architecture
on which subjects she was regarded as
an authority.
On her return to the United States
Miss Armstrong became principal of the
Cuban Annex at the State Normal
School at Paltz, N. T. At the time of
her death she was principal of the
high school department of a private
school for girls here.
GRASSHOPPERS TAKE CITY
y
Indianapolis Visited by Plague.
Entomologists Suggests Remedy.
JXDJANAPOLJS. Sept. 25. Knocking
a grasshopper off a. friend's hat er
clothing is getting to-ba a popular di
version this Fall. It is even taken ad
vantage of to break the ice for a con
versation. There are hundreds of the
jumpers in every city block and they
shy foolishly at the cars.
Everybody knows the proper place
for grasshoppers is back on the farm
and down in the tall grass. Fooling
around city streets and avenues and
turning a double handspring to alight
en a thin waist or clean white collar
is not the right thing for any proper
grasshopper to do, A silky white hose
is no proper place for a grasshopper to
pen his funny mouth and do what the
small boys call "spit terbacker." And
it is doubted if any gentleman grass
hopper ought even to light on such a
place with hia jaggy feet fast in silken
gauze and embarrassing with his om
inous stare.
So this condition gives rise to the
"8tory of the Foolish Grasshopper," as
told, by Frank N. Walla oe. State En
tomologist. Mr. Wallace said:
"I knew it all the time that the
grasshoppers were coming this Sum
mer. Don't you remember we com
mented in this office all last Summer
about the scarcity of blister beetles.
No, blister beetles don't raise grass
hopper. Wait a minute!"
So the entomologist explained in
terms of busrs there is nothincr that a.
grasshopper likes to do. next to hop.
than to sit around and lay eggs. They
lay them by the thousand.
Boy. past Doc. Barnard and hia food
committee.
"Naw, you couldn't substitute 'em for
bens' eggs,, anyway they'd have to. be

growing influence which Japan pos
sesses. This has been demonstrated in
a most emphatic manner since the out
break of the war.
The British colonies, he declares,
have begun to feel uneasiness for the
natural pressure of Japan's growing
military power. Australia has started
to build an independent navy of Its
own, while New Zealand has contrib
uted warships to the home country.
Britain's fear of Japan, strange to aay,
he points out. Is growing more and
more marked during the progress of
the present war. though Japan is prov
ing herself the mest loyal friend to
her ally.
The Immigration problem. which
must somo day be settled, will be an
other reason for the drawing together
of the United States and Great Brit
ain, in the opinion of Dr. Shimatani.
He foresees the day when the people of
Japan. China and India, prejudicially
treated by the .Anglo-Saxons, will be
come cemented into a defensive union
and form a league for the defense of
their rights. Te hia mind the pressure
of the Anglo-Saxons cannot fall to
bring about eventually a spiritual inti
macy between England and the United
States,
He concludes: ''In short, when
America's Navy and Army programmes
shall have been carried out, it will be
the time for Britain to replace the
Anglo-Japanese alliance by an Anglo
American rapprochement. and th
guarding of Australia and New Zea
land will thenceforth he effected by tho
American Navy, not by the JapanesD
navy. Then it is that the Anglo-Japanese
alliance will be thrown aside, as
fan wouldj when the, hot weather is
passed."-

deners should take advantage of the
Kail season, say specialists of the
United States Department of AgricuU
ture. to make their plants as free as
possible from disease by methods that
cannot well be followed during tha
growing season. It is true in general
that whatever the disease the affected
portions of the plans should be cut out
in tne Fall and the shortened bushes
sprayed. It is assumed, however, that
spraying will not have been delayed
until Fall, but will have been carried
on as a control measure at frequent
intervals since Spring. The diseased
wood removed in the Fall, together
with the old leaves and debris under
bushes, should be burned. In case of
attacks by rusts, canker and leaf spots,
the diseased wood or leaves should be
removed; and burned even during the
growing season. .
For powdery mildew, the control
sprayings for the Summer sports
should be with lime-sulphur or potas
sium Bulphu-r. After cutting back in
the Fall, the plants should be sprayed
with lime-sulphur or strong Bordeaux
mixture. The control sprayings for
rusts should be ammonlaeat copper Car
bonate. The Kail spraying should be
with a strong Bordeaux mixture. For
leaf-spit, leaf-blight and anthracnose.
the control sprays may he either Bor
deaux mixture or ammonlacal copper
carbonate, and the Fall spraying should
be with the former..
Leaf blotch, also known aj black
spot, is g common and very injurious
disease. The first symptoms are the
appearance of irregularly shaped black
ish spots on the upper surface of
nearly full-grown leaves. In this stage
the trouble may be controlled by sev
eral sprayings with ammonlacal copper
carbonate or Bordeaux mixture, hut if
these precautions are not taken an
other stage of the fungus develops in
the same spots. The fungus in this
later stage lives ever the Winter on
fallen leaves and sets up a new in
fection In the Spring, which can only
be prevented hy raking up and burning
the fallen leaves and spraying the dor
mant bushes with strong Bordeaux
mixture.
Another disease to which ross are
subject is canker, which starts with
the appearance of small reddish
patches on be green parts, generally
Af 1-year-old growth- Such Infected
areas may increase until the entire
stem is surrounded .and may extend
for several Inches along the branch.
The only advice to be given la to out
away rigorously all diseased branches,
and it may be necessary to cut back
entire hushes if badly infected;. Cover
the exposed surfaces made by this cut
ting with paint or tar. This diseased
material must be burned and the dor
mant bushes sprayed with strong Bor
deaux mixture in both Autumn and
early Spring.
