features of fire-fighting systems
he observed in America. He laud
ed the fire alarm system of New
York City and said that the pre
cautions taken in America . for
storing oil and gasoline are well
worth emulating in Germany.
; What impressed him most was
his observance that, for the most
part, New York firemen have
their own automobiles.,
"Of Berlin's 1700 firemen,- he
pointed out, "not ' one owns an
automobile. Among our firemen
are many volunteers and.nersons
partly invalided by the" war while
In America they "are ; full-time.

Tha department .of Industrial
journalism of the Oregon Agri
cultural college is sending to the
newspapers the following very
timely and important bulletin:
' Variegated 'cutworms are mak
Inr serioas raids on field, garden
and flower plants" In: most parts
of western Oregon, and Jn some
parts of eastern Oregon- They eat
every part: of some plants-iieaf,
stem and root and also gnaw in
to such fruits as apples and to
matoes. Call for help have come
by the hundreds o the experiment
station and to county , agents.
Poison bran; mash made" as fol
lows is the control recommended:
Mix Impounds of coarse bran
with 10 ounces of parls. green and
1 pint of salt. Dilute 1 pint of
syrup with enough water to make
a moist, crumbly mash, such as
will fall apart when "dropped from
the hand. Scatter this mash about
the plants and over the infested
ground, where the worms will
find and eat it on their way to
the Plants. , ,
This bait is preferred by the
worms to the plants and is greed
ily eaten. It Is likewise quickly
fatal.
The variegated cutworm is al
most always present, but. Its num
bers are kept down by Its natural
enemies-a fly that lays an egg
in the wqrmt and birds, fowls and
even' pigs. In"; ravorable seasons
It gets the jump on these, and
then destroys millions of dollars'
worth of crops unless' checked by
man. It was a bad pest In 1900
and In 1914; doing in one' year
two and a half million dollars
worth of damage. . .
The grown worm Is 1 inches
long, rather fat. and of yellowish
green to a dark brown color. It
nearly always has a few light
yellowish dots on the middle part
of the back. It Is hatched from
the eggs 'of- a rather large' moth
with grayish red-tinged front
wings and clear white rear ones
with soft brown edges.' The eggs
