The Boy Scouts A. Feature

Of Chautauqua Week

VOICE OF F E O P lTe

Hill r5) ! v l

'ON. WOODROW WILSON, president of the United States, wu reeeatry elected honorary president of the

oy scout organization or America. This will be of interest here In Tiew of the fact that Boy Scout drills and scout craft are to be a feature of our forthcoming Chautauqua.

xo tnose unacquainted with the Boy Scout movement a few facts will be of Interest. The Boy Scout order originated with Lieutenant General Baden-Powell of England and today has more than half a million members in England, 750.000 in America and 25,000 in Australia. There are more than 5,000 members of the order im Chicago alone, representing Jewish. Catholic and Protestant churches, social settlements, playgrounds and Y. iL C A,'s. The object of the moTement is character building for boys between the ages of twelve and eighteen. It is an eifort to train them in self reliance, manhood, good citiaenship and scoutcraft. Bcoutcraft includes Instruction in first aid to the injured, life saving, signaling, nature study, camp eraft, woodcraft, chivalry and patriotism. Each boy must take the scout oath, the form of which is. "I will do my best; to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the scout law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight ,

THE COTTONY MAPLE SCALE. Hammond, Ind.. June 26. Edttor Thb Times: Next to the San Jose scale the Cottony Maple scale has done more damage than any two scale insects put together. It occurs all over the state and Is found mostly on stiver maple, but has been found on hard, red and norway maples, linden and elm trees, as well. In the past few years this scale has killed many trees in Indiana. Little or no attention has been paid to it in spite of its deadly character. Usu-

ially the tree dots not dies for several (Seasons after it becomes infested. The

badly infested leaves will turn yellow and fall during mid-summer. If an infested tree is allowed to go untreated it is only a matter of a- few years until It dies, the most infested branches dying: first. Thus a healthy looking: tree may have dead branches In the top. Sometimes a tree will all be killed with the exception of a few branches which for some reason escapes the effect of'the insects. The adult female scale hibernates on

the under side of twigs in tho winter.

In May and June she lays larxe quan

tities of egrs which are surrounded with great , masses of cotton padding

making - quite a conspicuous appear

ance. This cottony substance is ner.

jsistant on the branches through tho

summer and until worn off by the wind (and rain. The eggs, however, hatch and

me young make their way to the un

dersides of green twigs and leaves and

attach themselves. . There is only one

brood in a season. As summer advances

,the males and females differeditiate, the males developing wings. At the approach of winter the fertilized females go Into hibernation on the undersides of twigs and the males die. ! The fact that the scales attach themselves to the undersides of the twigs makes this a comparatively easy insect to control being in a position, to be easily hit with a spray solution. ; Winter spraying with the lime-suphur wash is the best means of controlling it. This solution cannot be Used on the foliage, because of its strength hence should be applied Just as oon as the leaves fall from the trees. If the trees are badly infested several applications will insure success. The com

mercial solution is obtainable in concentrated form and should be diluted with nine volumes of water. A home boiled solution can be made by using fifty pounds of lime- and 50 pounds of sudphur to 160 gallons of water. Add enough water to the lime to slake it thoroughly and immediately add the sulphur. Boil for an hour or so with only water enough to keep the mass liquid until It becomes a deep amber color. Then add water to make the 150 gallons. Use as soon as possible. Better results are obtained if applied warm. When a smaller amount Is desired use proportions as above. In conclusion I wish to say that spraying for any scale Insect must be

very thorough In order to be effective. These Insects will be found, far out to the tips of the smallest branches and will be very difficult to reach even by the most thorough work. This can be met by cutting back the sma.ll branches. When a tree is badly Infested-the

top Is so weakened that it is best to give it a merciless trimming. A new vigorous top will then grow from the remaining stumps. A tree thus treated can be more readily freed from the scales also. All branches which are taken off of the tree should be burned. In spraying always work with the wind even if it necessitates two sprayings from opposite directions in order to fully cover a tree.

Buzzing Sounds Made by Insects. The different humming or buzzing sound in insects is caused by the vibration of ' the wings, and the more rapid the .vibrations the sharper the sound. Scientist have estimated that the common house- fly vibrates its wings about 335 times a second and the honeybee 400 times, though s tired bee moves its wings more slowly and makes a different sound from a fresh one. The butterfly is content to move more slowly and makes no noise.
