YEAR'S WORK ON FIGHTING PESTS Task of Eradication of Insects Whicb Yearly Do Millions of Dollars' Damage. BATTLE ON PUNT DISUSES Report of Federal Horticultural Board Tolls of Quarantines Aimed at Controlling Many of Differ- ' ent Plagues. (Prepared by the Unlt.d state* Departaeal Of Agriculture.) The work of combating Insect pests that yearly do millions of dollanC dam age to American crops was carried on vigorously during the fiscal year 1022, according to the annual report of the federal horticultural board, United States Department of Agriculture, which la charged with enforcing the plant quarantine act In all, tha boird now has In force some 22 foreign and IS domeetlc quarantines aimed at con trolling poets already present in the country and guarding against tha en try of others from abroad. Most Injurious Psdts. Among the major Insoct pasta that tha board la fighting In co-operation with the bureaus concerned are the pink bollworm of cotton, European corn borer, glpey and brown-tall moths and Japanese beetle. The more Impor tant plant diseases ara the potato wart, white-pine blister rust and citrus can ker. The report summarisee briefly the progress made against the various pasta and diseases. ? The work of eradicating the pink bollworm la In better status now than aver before, saya tha report Sub stantial reductions In the Infested areas have been effected and suitable legislation and co-operation on the part of the states and planters con cerned have been obtained. The real danger, says the report; will come Just at this period when the Insect seems to be practically eliminated, sod plant- | era and others may come to the false conclusion that it la not necessary to continue the work and coat Tha in fection and field work. It points out, Is more necessary and should be prose cuted with more intensity at this stage than at any other If ultimata success Is to be gained. Mo new outbreak of the European com borer was reported last year. The peat la still limited, so far as la known, substantially to the areas of tha year before, the New England area, eastern and western New Tork areas, and the Ontario area, from which It apparent ly spread, to the southern and western shores of Lake Erie. During the year there was a local but limited spread W uio uuwxi tu cacu area. Japanese Beetle to1 Spread. The belief la expressed In the report that the Japanese beetle la one of the most dangerous insect introductions made Jn many years, and threatens large future losses, particularly to ' fruit and forage crops. There is no | question, says the report, but that this past will in time spread throughout the United States. The prevention of spread, howersr, la of Immediate value and gives time to study the Insect and devise methods of controlling it. The area quarantined in New Eng land on account of the gipsy moth has been extended, bnt the brown-tall qnoth area has been reduced very materially, The eradication work with respect to the Infestations determined in 1020-21 by the gipsy moth, chiefly in New Jer sey but with minor colonies in New Tork and Pennsylvania, has bean ac- I ttvely prosecuted now for two seasons ; and the outlook IS good for the eradi cation of this past In these states. The original infestation in New Jersey re salted from large importations of bine Spruce tretn Europe Just prior to the passage at the plant quarantine act giving authority to control and safe guard such importations. hi the fail of 1921 the whltapine blister rust was discovered in south western British Columbia and in the Paget Sound region of Washington, m co-operation with the stmts and Canada the department took prompt action to fight the disease and prevent Its spread.. A federal quarantine was put into effect. Daring the year the solicitor of the department reported the conviction of 19 shippers for violations of the plant quarantine set, 14 in regard to the white-pine blister rust quarantine, 2 In regard to the avocado or alligator paar quarantine, 1 in regard to th? sweet potato and yam quarantine, 1 in re gard to the gipsy moth and brown-tail moth quarantine, and 1 In regard to the sugar-cane quarantine. * AISK IN UKEMPT ORCHARD Invitation la Extendad to San Joes Seals, Plum Ouroulle and Other Insect Pasts. ' By tolerating an unkempt orchard and undernourished trees we invite Ban Jose scale, plum cnrcnllo, apple worm, ahothole borer and other peets to stay with us in our orchards over winter end enjoy our hospitality. Allowing the refuse of garden crops to remain in the garden undisturbed is to provide comfortable winter homes for insect enemies of the garden. Excellent Flavor te Eggs. The Runner duck leys s perfectly white egg which sells weU in the atty market and is of excellent flavor. NEW SPRING HATS i v 1 1 " j Tendency It to Suit Headgear to the Wearer. Ribbon, Laco, Feathers and Flowery I tfca Chlof Doooration Uaad on 8prlng MIINnary. f Hata herald the season. They are the torch-bearer* of the new styles. To them la assigned the honor ad Plac ing a whole new aspect uthe aUhouette of faahlon. And whan, ob aervea a faahlon writer in the New ] York Times, after' weeks add month* of reiteration of one aet of styles, the new hats begin to appear, they send a positive thrill ot hop* through the fe male system. Many bats are different and aston ishing in some respects, while In oth ers they are showing many of the same lines that were characteristic of them daring the pest season. There la still every tendency to salt the hat to the type, and, therefore, there are many and numerous shapes and styles to be found so that every personality and ev ery contour of face may be suited. Ribbon Is used, and still more rib bon. It Is bound about the edges of the brims of these tiny hats, and than tt Is used In bows and rosette* and cocardes and la loose, waving ends. The fact Is that a small hat Is more likely to have trimmings of ribbon than not, and one of the advantages of this expression is that It is good for the sports as well as for the drops hat. and , the one that Is' worn strictly for the street From Paris the very latest new* is that the ribbon flat rosettes applied to the sides of small hats and large ones must have In their centers some ar rangement of small and brightly col 1 ored flower buds. Lace and still more lace Is to be 1 seen on the newer hats. It Is the trim ming of the moment to be sure and nothing can be more feminine nor more surely becoming than Is this vogue. Black lace Is decidedly popular. In fact It Is the only color that should ! be used because tt Is so thoroughly satisfactory that It should be left also* In Its glory. After the rage for a certain small hat, there is bound to come a reaction Nfc 1?^weeping Lines of Tulle Faoad With an Arrangement of Soft Feath ara. No. 2?Cooarda of Ribbon and Rosebuds. No. S?Hat of Ma ran Satin, Trlmmad With Flewm. and therefore wa might Just aa wall attune oar thought to the approach of larger and broader-brimmed hats. There la a wide-brimmed straw hat that seems to be taking to a ribbon band and a floppy ribbon bow that hangs away from one side. There Is always a hat of this general charac ter, though It Is not always trimmed la the same manner, bat this season It osems probable that the bow of ribbon will be the thing and that Its color wll harmonise rethefthan con trast with that of the hat Itself. PRINTED FABRICS IN FAVOR Ores# for Attrsctlvo Materials Wee ef Slow Growth, Dating Bask St tho Resorts. A successful exploiter of e fashion or a fabric of any sort la nerer nig gardly In the nse of his materials. The .history of fashion has shown that In order to gain any sort of attention a great deal of the thing which one wishes to popularise must be shown. The widespread dee of figured mate rials at the present time Is dne to the quantities of models In these figured fabrics which were brought out last year. There were street' dresses with the entire blouse portion of figured fabrics; there were Indoor dresses and outdoor dresses for summer wear made of materials patterned in the gayest of designs and the brightest of .colors. In tracing back the why and where fore of the apparently remarkable rogue for the figured fabrics of the i present day. one finds that the erase for these materials did not spring np suddenly. It was s thing of slow growth and really datae back to sum mer resorts and midwinter resorts, where women were seen In frocks of cretohne and chltita and silk ta eery bold floral patterns and fabrics print ed tn Persian designs. Many of the patterns seen la foulards and silks are nhuost exactly like those that mads their '"Sisi appearance on cotton flab- i vfe' 1 'C iSC'i V ' "V MAKING MOTOR HIGHWAYS BROAD RIBBONS OF LIGHT New Novalux Units, With Nest Reflectors, Focus Light Entirely on Road?Already in Use in Many Places in the United States. Parabolic Neat Highway Lighting Unit. Heavily traveled highways through out the United States will be almost perfectly lighted before many years have passed, judging from the early popularity of a neaTtype of highway lighting unit brought out within the' last two years by the General Electric Company. This is known as the Novalux parabolic nest type of uglt, so-called from the arrangement of a series of reflectors grouped about the lamp. These reflectors are arranged one within another, resembling a nest, and their usefulness lies in the fact that they oatch between them ail the rays from the electric lamp, throwing these rays directly upon the road. Practically none at the light strays eC into the surrounding fluids; more over, there Is no glare. Although the lamps used in these units are only ltd candlepower, the Volume of light delivered from the reflectors upon the road Is equivalent to nearly MOO candlepower. I Motorists and all who travel upon the oouatry highways at night have found from experleaoe that these lights are ideal. They give a contlnu Swampscott (Masa.) Highway Lighted With Novalux Uplta. oub Illumination of the road, and have been conaldered a factor in making night travel safer wherever they have -been Installed. Where They Are in Use Early Installations were made en the Paradise road, at Swampscott. Mass., and In the village of Colonle, N. T-, on the highway between Al bany and Schenectady. Detroit has Installed them upon many of the highways leading into the city through the suburbs and the surrounding country. The Lincoln Highway Association has adopted them tor lighting the ideal section of the famous national turnpike, this seo tlon now being built in Lake County, Indiana, and a South American me tropolis, Santiago, capital of Chile, has placed an order tor ISO of the units for lighting the suburban roads approaching a park. v In Florida, a much-traveled pleas ure highway, the causeway between Miami and Miami Beach, is to be lighted with a large number of these units. Most Interesting of any Installations yet made, however. Is the plan of the town of Amherst. N. Y., near Buffalo, to light every mile of roadway within its limits with Novalux highway units. This will require between 1,000 and 1,500 of the units, and the work will not be completed for a year or two. A total of 100 miles of roadway will be illuminated. This will make Am herst undoubtedly the beat lighted township in the United States. Two hundred of the units are already be ing put In, along the main motor turn pike that runs through the town, and the rest will be supplied as called for.
