Thin application Khonld ho umilu within u week niter the pet als have fallen. Spraying may be Hlarled when 0(1 per eeat of the pet alH ure off and should be completed within the week following- This i n very iinporahit application i and spraying xliould ho done tliorontlily. The principal object of thin applica tion iH to fill the calyx cup 'with nr xenate of lend before it closes. In dis tricts where scab is prevalent it is nil visuhlu to combine the arsenatu of lead with lime sulphur. Duo to the fact that many growers did not make an application in the pink stone with Jime and sulphur, it is important that this application he made at this time. Kor apples, use limo sulphur, 1 gal lon to 40 palls of water, arsenate of lead pasto ' pounds to f0 gallons, or arsenate of lead powder 1 pound to CO tfullonH. Pear orohnrds that have lawn both ered with scab should also be spray rd nl this time, but nrseuute of lead will probably not bo needed in all or chards. However, some injuries ure being reported in various districts from leaf-eu tinj; insects such as fleu beetles, click beetles, sall'ly larvae etc. Where such insects are working it would he wise to add the arsenate of lead in combination with limo ami sulphur. For pears use lime sulphur 1 to 00, and arsenate of lead paste 2 to Wl, or arsenate powder, 1 to 50. Atomic sulphur 1-1 pounds to 100 gal lons of water may be used instead of the lime sulphur if preferred. . Some new infections of scab have been lVuiad in different sections durini! the past week, and the cloudy and rainy weather is conducive to scab develop ments. , Those who expect to use special oil emulsion combinations, confer with the county pathologist. !

An aviation m'huol opened today at the University of California under the direction of Lieutenant Arnold X. KroRHtnd of tho I'nlU'd States avia tion school at !an DIcko. Two hun dred pupils were exported. At the end of each course or plght weeks twenty-flvo students will he kiiiiIu ated and transferred to the San DIcko headquarters. Special courses of five weeks In rt Ilof work. Red Cross work, telegra phy, eanniiiR, automobile const ruction and other subjects of Interest during war time, also began today. The courses are conducted with the co operation of the American Kcd Crona and the state .council of defense. 1 TtTJITLK congress, tiucreloiisly loquacious m procras- filiation. grudging! v, reluctantly and tardily en acts legislation to place Hit; nation in real preparedness for war, tar- reaching and drastic changes in the economic ana industrial life of the nation are being enacted in the pro cess of the mobilization of the national resources for the conflict changes that not only affect the daily life of the individual during the course of the war, but likely to per- manentlv affect the future ot the nation. Of these vital changes, congress has had no part, but has looked on. powerless, while persons who held no public office and had no authority under the constitution and statutes, brushed technicality, red tape and quibble aside, smashed precedent and upset established order in the effort to weld together aijd solidify the conflicting and divergent interests of a hundred million people tor a com mon purpose. The war has developed no great national leader in con gress. No constructive program of preparation has been forthcoming. Those we have ranked as statesmen hith erto-stand idle spectators of the great drama of a nation preparing for war, either speechless or carping critics of i i ..:t:..: ;,. a: .t.i ,i, ... A ..,1 1 l lViaill ICS. ilDSI- I'l UU-tKIU i.- uj.-m:wuiili:i.i ill ciu 1 uikti:. iinu it is largely due to the realization of their own failure to measure up to the opportunity that congress is so dilatory in carrying out the program outlined uy the president. When war became inevitable the president organized the cabinet as the Council of National Defense and created an advisory board, composed of the leading executives, creators and organizers of the industry of the nation. The exigencies of the occasion caused the creation of a multi plicity 'of new committees, organized under this Advisory Board of the Council of National Defense, which have been given (.'arte blanche by the cabinet, and, inspired by patriotism, work without salary and under authority ot national necessity, undefined by law, in establishing national efficiency. Drastic action by these captains of industry in the ef fort to eliminate waste, to increase production, to equalize distribution, to systematize and co-ordinate the industries and resources of the country has followed. The best brains of the nation have patriotically gone to the rescue of the nation and arc 'remedying the detect ot democracy m its habitual unprepa redness lor Avar. What (ierman autoc racy accomplished in fifty years of effort for Germany and British democracy achieved in three years for Eng land, American genius is accomplishing almost overnight for the United States. - Tho production and distribution of food, coal, iron necessities of every sort, the improvised nationalization of transportation systems tor their distribution, the speeding up and increased output of munitions and other war essen tialsnil these have been turned over to efficient business men and their orders voluntarily obeyed without question or law to enforce them bv the industry of the nation which is nationalizing itself. And as a result American govern ment is being made, for the first time, efficient. Events are moving so fast, so irresistibly, that the life of the nation is being changed as we look on, almost with out knowing it. Of course, the change is temporary for the war onlv out having once established efficiency m government, it is not likely the people, or business either, will consent to a change back. "Why displace the efficient business man by the nielticient politician with his crim inal waste in managing the affairs of the nation? War requires a concentration of power in a few hands a concentration that congress is loath to legalize lest its own dignity he impaired. But war is no time to haggle over technicalities. Without a definite program of its own, congress is powerless to do other than carry out, how ever modified, the program laid before it by the president and his advisory board and the quicker congress enacts the program; the better for the nation. America's Gifts to Europe Hy Al'lU'STl'S THOMAS of the Vigilante. If the products of American inven tions could be taken from the arm ies and navies now confronting each other in Kuropc, the combatants would stand naked, unshod, unfed and powerless. The yj'nin ial feeds them was sown, reaped, threshed and ground hy American inventions. The elolh ini; for their vast armies was put together by American sewing ma chines. The cotton in it was scpar aled by an American cotton gin. Their shoes are made by American machines. As to the wcopons, the revolver is an Auieiiciui invention, Ihe br'crh loadmg gnu is an American inven tion, the magazine gun is an Ameri can invention. The irou-elnd, the re volving turret, Ihe torpedo, are American inventions. The submar ine is an American invention. The electric light in camp and trench, the telephone that reports and takes orders, the telegraph that calls for supplies, the cable thai hooks up ally and ally are all Amer ican. The barbed wire that defends the trenche-. the tanks that override thcui. the airplane that rceonnoitcrs and fights above them arc American invention. And uhen the wounded an' retrieved, the chloroform thai make-, accurate surgery po-.-ohle i an American tlicoverv. And finally the ambulances that carry the wound ed to the hospitals are motor cars from Detroit. America has given great gifts to Kuropc. Hut she has one more gifl her greatest yet to give. Her oilier gifts have been material ,jifts and they 'have been given indis.-rim-inalcly to the nations who ore fight ing for democracy and those who are fighting against it. America's greatest, gift, to Kuropc is the blood of America's youth, shed for democracy. I'nlcss America gives men to Kur opc,' nil her other gifts are it mockery.

That the moon hus no effect on the grow ing of crops, so far as planting is concerned, has been successfully demonstrated by experiments exten sively carried out in Kuropc There is no perceptible difference in the yield of crops planted in different phases of the moon. The difference in the yield is caused by a difference in tho thoroughness of preparation of seed beds und care and cultivation of the plants and crops. The first es sential is the preparation of a suit able seed bed and the planting- of a good quality of the right vuricty of seed as soon as the ground is warm enough and the season sufficiently advanced. The "light" or "dark" of the moon makes no difference. Good seed, well planted in the proper season, and carefully culti vated, will get satisfactory results, regardless of "signs." liulletins No. :07, 209, 180, 184 and 91, issued hy the Oregon Agricultural college, should be in the hands of ev ery gardener and fanner. They can be bad for the asking and they give spenific instruction nnd advice con cerning plnnling, cultivating and har vesting crops of the farm and garden. LISBON", May 21.

Favora ble report on the administration bill to give the president broad powers as to preferential shipments of food, munitions and other war -traffic, was made today to'the house. The report says the bill is "Ger mane to the earnest effort we are making to utilize to the highest otate of efficiency during the war the trans portation facilities of the country to promote the efforts of the administra tion to carry on the war by requiring preferential shipments of all freight which In the judgment of the presi dent, Is essential to the public secur ity and defense." The section as to the movements of transportation, the report explains, "has no reference, as has been er roneously stated In some quarters, to any disputes between carriers and their employes." Fortunately, It adds, "there Is a truce on that subject during the war." MARSH FIELD, Ore., May 21.
