MARKED DECREASE IN CIP3Y
MOTHS DURING PAST YEAR
Report of Government Entomologist
Shows Progress of Campaign Against
Insects Attacking Animals and Crops
As Well As the Health of Man
Washington, D. C., Dec. 19.—The
control of such dangerous insects as the
gipsy moth, cotton-boll weevil, alfalfa
weevil, green bug and potato tuber
moth, has kept the office of the United
States Department of Agriculture's
entomologist busy during the past year,
according to the new annual report. Be
sides directing its attention to combat
ing insects, that attack crops, the oflice
has been a tive in attempting to eradi
cate insects that affect the health of
man and animals, such as malaria-bear
ing mosquitoes, the spotted-fever tick,
and the typhoid ftv. Special attention
has been given to iusects injuring for
ests and those affecting stored products
such as grain, flour, prepared cereals,
meat and cheese. Work in bee culture
has also progressed satisfactorily.
The gipsy moth campaign, waged
also against its cousin the brown-tail
moth 'has been very encouraging, there
being a marked decrease this year in
the numbers of both these pests. Para
sites and beetles that attack these dan
gerous insects have been introduced and
have been largely instrumental in bring
ing about good results. Colored fosters
were prepared bv the office illustrating
the gipsy moth and its natural enemies
and these were posted in all postoffices
and town offices in the infected districts
and copies were sent to granges and
public libraries. The campaign has also
been waged by mail and Bov Scouts
who have distributed cards bearing the
same illustrations.
A combination spray, composed of
lime-sulphur, arsenate of lead, and nico
tine, has been used successfully during
the year 'by many orchard growers, to
control insects and fungous diseases.
Other poisons to control or. hard insects
■have been developed and are now being
tested. Arsenical sprays are beiug
made more practicable for use in com
bating cranberry pests in New Jersey.
Effective spraying has also been done
in the pecan orchards of the South, in
terested growers aiding the department
in the work. liemedies are ulso being
recommended and developed for pests
that endanger apple, peach and pear or
chards.
The boll weevil did about $30.0-00,-
000 worth of damage to the cotton crop
in 1913, as estimated in the new re
port of the entomologist. Nearly 18,-
000 square miles of new territory be
came infested during the year. Every
effort is being made to control these
depredations, particularly by the use of
powdered orthoarsenate of lead, and
hand picking of cotton squares and
bolls. Arsenate of lead was tried with
varying results and the question of its
success under practical plantation con
ditions to-day remains undecided.
Violets growing around a cotton field
seem to give another cotton pest, the
red spider, an opportunity to work, and
the department recommends the destruc
tion of this harmless-appearing flower
to control the spider. Other measures
suggested as a result of investigations
in South < arollna arc the destruction
of winter food plants and pokeweed
around fields, the plowing of wide dust
barriers around isolated infested places
and spraying with potassium sulp'hid.
Investigations of "'buffalo gnats"
and their possible relation to pellagra
have continued anil it now seems unlike
ly that they have any relation to tfhat
dangerous disease. It seems more prob
able that the typhoid fly ('commonly
spoken of as the "house fly") does
more to'transmit this infection along
with the other numerous diseases laid
at its door.
The typhoid fly itself is given his
share of attention and means of control
Iby treating manure, where the fly
breeds, are being developed. It seems
that the fly can be almost completely
controlled in the manure and t'he value
of the fertilizer remain unchanged, if
applications of commercial 'borax are
made at the rate of .62 pound to 10
■cubic feet (8 bushels) of manure.
Investigations have 'been carried on
to discover remedies for insects which
damage such forest products as tele
graph jkjlcs, railroad ties and tool
handles. Users of these products are
now putting the results of the office's
investigations to practical tests. With
hardwood products liaible to attack bv
the so-called powderpost beetles it has
been found that kerosene and linseed
oil are effective repellents against these
insects. A rather general utilization of
t'hese oils by manufacturers has follow
ed this discovery.
FATALLY HURT BY EXPLOSION
Johnstown, Dec. 19.—Antonio Gol
lia is dying at the Memorial hospital
from injuries received when he caused
an explosion of 25 pounds of powder
at his home. The house, whieh was oc
upied by six allien families, is a com
plete wreck.
(irfllia was smoking a cigarette while
llllinig a small powder can from a larg
er one. His wife called to him to be
careful, and as he took the cigarette
out of his mouth to reply, a sipark fell
in the powder.
Some of the occupants of the house
received minor injuries, and the shock
aroused tllie neighborhood for iniany
blocks.
SCHOOLS LIKE DENMARK'S
FDR THE UNITED STATES
Believed That the Danish Folk High
Schools for "Grownups" Can Be
Successfully Transplanted to the
United States
Washington, D. C., Dec. 19.—That
the Danish Folk High schools for
"grownups," which have made pos
sible the recent wonderful development
in rural Denmark, can be successfully
transplanted in modified form to tho
United States, is the conclusion reached
by H. W. Foght of the United States
Bureau ot Education in a bulletin just
issued. Mr. Foght has studied both
the Danish schools and American rural
conditions at first hand, and he be
lieves that what the Folk High schools
have done for 'rural civilization in
Denmark they tfan do for the United
States.
The place to introduce the new type
of school is the region known as the
South Atlantic Highland, according to
Mr. Foght, embracing all of West Vir
ginia. 12 counties in western Virginia;
23 in western North Carolina, and 4
in western South Carolina; 25 in north
ern Georgia; 17 in northeastern Ala
bama; 45 in eastern Tennessee, and 36
in eastern Kentucky. It is not that
those sections are necessarily behind
other parts of the country in education,
though much illiteracy prevails, hut
that the peculiar local conditions de
mand some institution like the Danish
sehools.
There are already a few Folk High
schools in the United States, established
by Danish immigrants. While grave
difficulties have been experienced bv
those schools, Mr. Foght is of the opin
ion that thew are due to certain special
causes that could easily be overccnio
in a real attempt to adapt the Folk
High school to American life in the
mountains.
"The Folk High school spirit has
emancipated the agricultural popula
tion of Denmark," declares Mr. Foght. j
''lt has at least made country people
the peers of their city brethren. Thev|
have become leaders in affairs, in pro-;
duet ion, in distribution, in politics
chiefly because they have learned to I
think for themselves and to act iude-!
pendently of the industrial classes. » |
In the I nited States there is great
danger of going to the extreme in the!
immediately practical and technical.!
The work of special schools is in dan
ger of focusing too much on making
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before, on teaching girls to cook
an I keep house according to sanitarv
regulations and the like.
1 liese things are all necessary and
must be taught in the schools, but they !
are utterly insufficient to make us a!
really great agricultural nation. It I
was not the local agricultural schools
and household economics schools that
primarily made Denmark a great scion
tifle agricultural nation, but the' Folk
High schools. \V e need such schools in
the I nited State*; schools that would
teach a greater love for the soil; that
would help Us to measure the good in
life by spiritual standards and not bv
man-made rules; schools that would
help us to rise above the limitations
ot locality and State, and teach an un
derstanding of the National and even
universal in the United States." j

CRAHAM DENIES REPORT
OF TRI-STATE FLOPPING
Federals Are Said to Be Discussing the
Taking Over of This League for a
Farm for Young Players—Business
Men in Tri-State Towns Ready
Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 19.—-It was
learned yesterday that agents working
in the interests of the Federal League
are now endeavoring to arrange with a
syndicate of business men to reorgan
ize the Tri-State League and use its
clubs as farms for the outlaw organiza
tion, at the snine time furnishing to
the towns owning franchises a first
class brand of minor league baseball.
President Gwinuer, of the local team,
admitted yesterday that ho had heard
something about the project, but did not
care to discuss it.
Business men iu several Tri-State
towns are reported to be read)* to gj
into the new venture with their cash of
the Federal League will father the
plan.
The visit of R. B. Ward, owner of
the Brooklyn FiMs and a ]>ower in the
Federal circuit, and his son, Ralph
Ward, to this eity early iu the weok is
said to have been for the purpose of
looking into the Tri-State proposition.
George M. Graham, president of the
Tri-State League, Thursuay night said
that lie had not heard anything of the
reported movement. At tiie meeting of
the League at New York last month all
the clubs' owners were anxious to
start again next year. "At that time
1 know that none of them had any
thought of the Federal League and
sinco then no word or even intimation
has been made tjjiat the league with
draw from organized baseball."

HARDER SHOP DASEBALL
Before Dode Paskert assured his loy
alty to the Phillies, Clark Griffith ot
the 'Senators prepared to make a 'bid for
the outfielder rather than see the star
lost to the major leagues.
Eddie Foster and Alva Williams of
the Washington team are playing in
dependent'bail in' California. In a letter
to a friend Foster declares he is hitting
a>bovc .500. His league plays two games
a week.
It is planned to make tlh-e Central
League an eight club proposition next
season by adding Voungstown, Ohio;
Wheeling, W. Va., and Erie, Pa. In
case six clu'bs ouly start one of Canton,
Akron or Toledo, Ohio, will replace
Springfield, Ohio. In any event the
league will be reorganize.! for a period
of five years, according to President
Louis Heil'bronner.
The Federal League will have nothing
on the Pacific eoarft next year for range
of territory. Salt Lake City is to re
place Sacramento.
Comiskey's appointment of Rowland
to succeed Jimmy Callahan has caused a
lot of good natured speculation. A fan
remarked yesterday: "Now, isn t that,
just like the old Roman t He always was
a bear for $25,000 players and $5,000
managers."
Tom McCarthy, the well-known scout
of the Boston Braves, having helped to
'build up a world's champion team for
George Stallings, will now see what !he
can do for the other team of that city.
•loe Lannin has succeeded in securing
the services of this sleut'h for the Red
Sox.
Major league managers will carry
their policy of economy even to the
training camps and back again. With
few exceptions the crc/ of rookies will
bo most moderate, as compared to other
seasons. Already many managers have
set about paring down the surplus:
Roger Bresnahan has asked for waivers
on no less than eighteen. The exhibi
tion schedules of the northern trips are
being arrauged with the view of saving
as much transportation and traveling
expenses as possible.
