EllisTells of Tree Conference, Here STAMFORD. Aug. 26.— Declaring the European corn bor- er a menace threatening the entire corn crop of the United States. Will- iam 0. Ellis last evening addressed the members of the Shade Tree con- ference at the Hotel Davenport. Mr. Ellis stated that the borer. an in- direct importation from Europe about ten years ago. had already spread to Massachusetts. New York. Ohio. and Michigan. virtually to the edge of the great corn belts of this country. ' "In addition to the attacking the stalk interiors of corn," said Mr. Ellis, “it ravages 165' varieties of plants. including flowers. Each bor- er lays from 600 to 600 eggs. which develop in about ten days." As a preventive against the spread of the borer host. Mr. Ellis advocat~ ed stringent quarantine. The evening session of the con- vention opened with the reading of telegram from Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture. to Dr. W. E. Britton. chairman of the confer- ence. Secretary Wallace's telegram read as follows: “The Department of Agriculture welcomes the progressive and for- wardlooking step taken by the first American Shade Tree Conference. Many problems connected with the growth and protection of shade trees demand that more attention and research be given the subject. Observatipn and discussion regard- ing the solving of these problems are of value to all workers. I feel a. great and lasting good will shall be accomplished by your confer- once." Following the reading of the telegram from Secretary Wallace a letter from the mayor. commending the work of the conference and re- gretting that he was unable to be present in behalf of the city. was read. 20,000 Species in N. Y. Continuing on the topic of wood borers Dr. E. P. Felt. New York State entomologist. showed that there were more than 20,000 species of borers in New York State. and that each borer had four forms. making aprpoximately 80.000 bor- érs that were ravaging the state trees and plants. 'The borers are an especial menace." he said, "and it may take anywhere from 100 to 1,000 years to restore the balance of the trees so that they may be able to throw off the pests now at- tacking them. The bronze Birch borer. the hickory bark beetle, and the two-lined chestnut borer are the chief offenders," he concluded. J. F. Collins. of the United States Bureau of Plant Industry at Provi- dence, It. 1., asserted that 90 per cent of the cement fillings used to- day are of no use. "I would dis- courage the use of cement as a. fill- er." he said. He then inferred that the use of composition fillings was more preferable. "Cement." he con- tinued. “doesn’t heal to the edges. and in addition it roots and cracks behind the fillings." In addition to these speakers short talks were given on various other subjects connected with tree and plant life. Following the opening remarks by Dr. Britton. A. F. Burgess of the United States Bureau of entomology spoke on wood insects. He was fol- lowed by Dr. Phillip Gar-man. assist— ant entomologist of the Connecticut Agricultural Experimentation Sta— tion. who spoke on the same topic. Fungous diseases, under the sub- divisions of leaf fungi and wood- rotting fungi were discussed brief- ly by W. A. McCubbin. vice-director of the Pennsylvania Bureau of Plant Industry. and Dr. H. H. York. respectively. Talks on tree surgery, with reference to pruning and cavity work, were delivered by Professor 3. P. Hollister. professor of horticul- ture at the Connecticut Agricultural College. and H. L. Frost. tree sur- geon and trustee of the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College at Am- herst. Mass. The cavity work was discussed by J. F. Collins. and C. M. Scherer. Davey Tree Expert Co.. Canton. Ohio. Mechanical injuries and physio- logical maladies were included in the address of Dr. G. P. Clinton. botanist of the Connecticut Agricul- tural Experimentation Station. School of Instruction. W. O. Hollister. of the Davey Tree Expert Co.. under the heading of general helpful ‘agencies spoke with F. A. Bartlett. tree expert of this dial. on school of instruction for tree work. Examination of tree workers for statecertiflcatcs was discussed by W. O. Filley. forester of the state experimentation station. The program was concluded with talks by N. A. Millane. president of the Millane Tree Expert Co.. Mid- dletown, Conn.. on the value of as- sociations in th! protection of trees, and Dr. Haven Metcalf of the Unit- 'ed States Bureau of Plant Industry of' the Department of Agriculture at Washington,-‘who summed up the lessons of the daylas derived from the outing held along the Bronx River Parkway between Scarsdale . and Woodlawn. N. Y.. in the after- noon. During the inspection yesterday afternoon the members especially noticed. it was said. that the cavity work. on trees along the.route was not efficient. The coating that keeps the surface hard admitted of too much rotting. The government representatives were. especially im- pressed with the heel collar. a Bart- lett process employed in the promo- tion of the growth of new bark and eliminating; cavity decay. One» of these devices was'vse'en on an elm tree on the Greenwich estate of I. N. Phelps-Stakes. The numbers ob- served ‘and discussed tillers and opensurgery work. .

Children must have play spar-x Don’t force them to go on the sirmi or other undesirable places to ex- pend thcir spent up energies. Tom Johnson of» Cleveland once said that when he died he would pro- fer to have a. children's play ground above his- grave rather than to have the space occupied by a monument. He liked to think of the children playing there happily. Impracticable as his proposal would be generally applied. it, was yet a vivid way of indicating how do- votedly lie believed in the right of children to play. Are you in step with the time? If you are you will make it your busi- ness to take an active interest in the playgrounds. lemnmber the child of today, is the citizen of to- morron: Our nation and our communities will prosper only in accordance wilh the expenditures we make in train- ing the child to he loyal and up- right citizens. Take away their rights of good play and we will suf- fer according accordingly. Play is their inherited privilege, we can‘t take it away from them but we can .help them regulate same into prop- er and worthwhile channels. One of the outstanding values of playgrounds has been its effect upon Juvemlc delinquency. Not‘ only does money spent for wholesome recrea— tion lower expenditures for Juvenile courts and reformatories, but it builds constructive citizenship. In St. Louis. 3. decrease of 75 per cent. in Juvinile court cases was reported in a. single district after the estab- lishment of playgrounds. Since the and recreation commission of Passaic, New J ersey. opened a. recreation hall where sixty-eight basketball teams have their games..the juvenile judge is seriously thinking of closing his court. The boys are so busy at play they have no time to get into Beauty emerge: McCoy * ‘ ' . '" ; Who Rammed Her‘froniiPeril‘ , To Marguerite R.

Through a boy’s club. a gang of boys well known to the court. he- came a force for beter citizenship. putting up street signs. organizing a. night school and working with' the judge to help other boys go straight. A study of juvenile court cases coming from the vicinity of the re- creation centers of the Chicago South Park commission. indicated that after playgrounds had been operating for two years the south side showed adecrease in juvenile lleiinquncy of seventen pr cost, while lilo rest if the city increased its de- llnquency eighteen per cent. :11 a. certain restricted area in the \lciniiy of the stock yards. a. por- lion or Chicago .supposcd to be the most difficult. but where play facili- ties had been most adequately pro,- \‘idcd. juvenile delinquency show- ed a decrease of forty-four per cent during the period in ‘which play- grounds had been opened. ' The well known judge. Ben E. Linslcy of Denver. Colorado, says, “In dealing with the problem of crime in youth, we shall progress Just in proportion as we appreciate the absurdity of limiting our reme~ dies to the court. the jailer and the hangman. Our plea. for public play- grounds is a plea. for justice to the boy. \Ve are literally crowding him off the earth. We have no right to deny him his heritage. but that is gust what we are doing in nearly every city and town in the country. and he is hitting back, and hitting hard. when he does not mcan‘to. while we vaguely understand and stupidly punish him for crime. Why shouldn’t he rebel? The amazing he is." Theodore Roosevelt said.

Bolshevism in'France is beginning to attract the attention of political leaders and government authorities. growth of communism in this counv try always has been regarded as very remote because of the natural; conservative tendency .of the farm-~ laboring class. Ilately. however. evidences have been discovered that the Bolshevic virus has penetrated the peasantry. thought until now to be’proof against all-subversive doc- trine. This outcome is attributed to the influence of school teachers. who a e drifting more. and :more toward extreme radicallsm.. ' -.An example was furnished the other waywhen a monument-to the school teachers killed on the battle- field was to be inaugurated in the Department 'of Morbihan. The school teachers association of the department decided by a large ma.- Jority that the inauguration should not be allowed to'talre place. unless the inscreption. “To the School Teachers Who Poll on the Field of Battle," was changed to -'"'l‘o the Victims of the’War." They also demanded that there be no- mention of France or ‘the "father-land" ‘in any speeches. and that the Ma:- seillaise be neither playednor sung. The unsuspectedly large. propor- tion of the teachers of that depart— ment won to Bolshevisrn has started an inquiry into the state of mind of teachers generally. and one: func- tionary of the department of educa~ tion said the communists were cer- tainly in‘ the majority by a consid- erable margin. In some departments teachers have pared their own;tex'ts for dictati . to pupils .in. which they have carefully cut out everything that \ in. the regular~text books smacks of patriotism or history. Even the word “international" is becoming unpopular with these ex- tremists because of the last three sylables. , ‘ . The light between classes is the prevading sentiment in the examples of these improvised text books that have come to the notice of the au— thorities. How to deal with the situation is a herd problem.. The present government is inclined to the greatest leniency in suchi‘mat— ters. and the school teachere' in- fluence in rural districtsis auchrthat there are -no means ,of combating him on his own ground. The Communists took 800,000 votes from the Socialists n the re- cent electons. and the coalton of the latter with the Radicals is ex- pected t odriva a great. many more toward Bolaheviam before another election is held. In this the school teachers' influence is not felt, but it is thought that the present genera- tion of country school children will, not a. reaction in the meantime, swell the communist ranks immensely when it becomes of voting age. ‘ GED DANBURY TROLLEY.
