INSECT PESTS AND REMEDIES.
Subject of  Interesting: Lecture at Farm School.
WEDDED,
,Ml8B Lydia Prichitt Bonden Differen¬ tiates Insects and Bugs—Importance of Entomology—Methods of Control. Insects pests and their remedies, was the subject of a lecture delivered by Miss Lydia Prichitt Bonden at the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women on Friday afternoon. As on previous occasions, the lecture •was attended only by women who are taking a deej) interest in the subjects discussed at the school. Many came prepared to take notes. The subject is a deep 'atid interesting one and the manner in which Miss Bonden dis¬ cussed Insects pests showed that she is well versed in Insect life and habits.
Starting by giving a definition of the word insect. Miss Bonden said it is a mistake to call all insects bugs. It is but a common name and only' a few belong to that class commonly called bugs. Insects are easily dis¬ tinguished because no true insect has more than si.t legs. Miss Bonuexi next discussed the age, number of sipecies and their place in the animal kingdom. This was followed by the characteristics of Hexapon, or true insects.
The importance of entomology was next taken up and which covered scientific and economic entomology, losses from insects, dosses presented by   economic   entomologj'.
The life history and development was then gone into. This part of the subject covered types of development, stages of develoament, period of de- structiveness, feeding and mouth parts. That part of the lecture which seemed to interest those pres¬ ent the most were the methods of .control. Taking up this .part of the subject Miss Bonden told of the arti¬ licial and natural methods to be em¬ ployed in controlling pests and the Importance of birds as a protection against destructive insects. Miss Bon¬ den stating that eVery effort should be made to protect our birds because were it not for them the insect pes.ts wiil become an alarming matter to the fruit grower, the truster and the farmer.
"Many good prepations are on the market loday .that are effective in controlling pests," said Miss Bonden. A lime-sulijhur solution is good, but not for ail destructive insects. Those that must be suffocated must be de¬ stroyed by another method although sufflcient of the lime-sulphur solution may be thrown ©n the tree to drown the pests, but this is an expensive ¦way to get rid of them when there are many, other method^ that may be used tbat are much cheaper. There are many natural or mechanical ways ip which the pests can be controlled, j,BUCh as picking them from the plants nd dropping thejii into a solution 'WW»Mjriiiei'nr*uttih"g olit'parts ^ s'pfeiif that-are Infested. Plow¬ ing the soil about the- plants is also recommended and a good commerical fertilizer is also helpful because it makes the plant strong and vigorous so that it will be able to withstand the attack of the pests. Miss Bon¬ den recommended several books that will be of much aid to those who .wish to make a study of insect life and   habits.
The school, v.hich is located near Jarrettown, has decided to offer a short course in practical gardening beginning July 8 and ending August 17. The course will consist of two hours of lecture daily on theory and science, which will be supplemented by si.x hours of practice work. The course is designed to give a brief and thoroughly practical survey of garden management during the sum¬ mer.

Camburn Pitches a Fine uame, But ErrOts and Weak Batting Allow Sellersville to Secure and Maintain a Lead—Kelly Scores Only ffun. K. & M. A. A. went down to defeat last Saturday at teellersville in a Twin-Ctunty league game uy the score ot 3 to 1. The game was well played barring the first inning when Sellersville scored all of its runs. Had periect support been given Cam- burn in that innin"- the lesulf might have been different, although inabil¬ ity to hit may also be charged up to losing the game. Leaving out his one error, Wodock played a star g%me at short, accepting eight of his, ine chances. Davies also played a .good game in the field, getting six put outs, some of which were difflcults chances. As a starter Undercuffer received .a free pass to flrst. Feist went out out Wodock to H, Robinson. Besson took care of Leiherbesch's fly. Gans singled, sending Undercuffer to third. Gans stole second, both scoring when Wodock threw wild to first on Esser's grounds, who went to second on the error, from where he scored on E. Lawrence's hit. This ended the scor¬ ing for the Sellersville team, as they were unable to get more than two hits during the rest of the game. Until the last inning the "K. and M. A. A. boys were able to get only one hit off of C. Lawrences Hitching. Kelly was the flrst to face him in the ninth and he craclied out a long drive that was good for two bases and which was the second for K. & M. A. A. Firman singled, scoring Kelly. At this stage of th^ game with tne top of tbe batting order up things looked promising for the locals, but they were unequal to the occasion, Oberholtzer going out on strikes and Davis and C. Robinson on lielding. chances.
On Thursday morning. Memorial day, Perkasie will be the attraction on Lindenwold field. ' Following is- the   score:

Exercises     Sunday   Artternoon     in  the Old Church—Rev, Or.  L. W,  Hainer, of   Norristown,   Priiaches     Sermon— Roll  Call  of  Members. Beautiful      weath<-r   and   interesting and    insyjiring  services     last    Sunday characterized   the   78th  anniversary  of Mt.  Pleasant   Baptist, church,  of  Am¬ bler.    -
Rev. J. F. Bartlett, of Philadelphia, was the speaker a.t tbe morning serv¬ ice, which was held in the Ambler church. A solo by Mr. Jos. J John¬ son and other special music were ren¬ dered, and in the afternoon services were he'd in the old church on Mt. Pleasant, which was filled with wor¬ shippers.
' Rev. Bartlett had charge of the opening exercises, taking the Scrip¬ ture lesson from the 12th chapter of llornans. Rev. L. W. Hainer, D. D., of Calvary Baptist church, Norristown, lead in fifayer and also preached the anniversary sermon from the first verse of the Scripture lesson as pre¬ viously read, "1 beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies to God as a reasonahle service,"
Dr. Hainer, in prefacing his re¬ marks, told of the tvealth of memor¬ ies stirred in his mind by the envir¬ onment of the old church and its an¬ niversary. The words of the text were those of Paul to the Romans, and although ¦^ he had never visited them he was anxious for their reli- t'ioua advancement, progress and de¬ velopment, and his use of .the word beseech,' with its fuil meaning, indi¬ cated his anxiety and his deep con¬ cern that the people should advance in   the  Christian  life.
Tn his urging that they be deeply concerned on this subject, Paul plead with them, reminding them of the mercies of God enjoyed at His hands that they present their bodies in the nature of a willing sacrifice, as He w.ants and desires service in all His activities. He wants willing and valuntat^  service.
''Why    give    our bodies    to  God ?"
asked  Dr,  Hainer,  and  as  quickly  he
answered,   "Because   these     bodies   of
ours are no good unless we do this and
because   He   can   use  them.       It   is   a
great   movement   to   help   place   this
great    world  back    in harmony    with
God and  in  building up the    kingdom
'  righteousness.      Use   your   life   to
ur   honor  and   glory,   as  well  as  to
e honor and glory of God."
The    service      was   also     featured
.a  call, of   the   roll   of  the   church,
ost of the members present answer-
,g with verses of Scripture.      A song
and  benediction closed the interesting
apniversary.

Titanic   Victims   Buried.
Two victims of the world's great¬ est sea tragedy, the Titanic disaster —Austin Van Billiard, son of Bur¬ gess James Van Billiard, of North Wales, and his child—were laid at rest, Thursday, in the old White¬ marsh cemetery. The bodies were brougiit from Halifax. Nova Scotia, to which place tliose recovered from the sea   were  taken,
A certificate of death rtcconipanied the bodies from Halifax, issued by John H. Bai'nstead, the register general. This gave the particulars as follows: "Austin Van Billiard, No. 2;;ri, and a 'dear child' No. 1." It states that both were lost with the Titanic at sea, April 15, 1912, and gives the cause of death as acciden¬ tal drowning. The permits were is¬ sued at Halifax on May 3, 1912.
Just what is meant by the "dear cliild" cannot be learned. It is pro- bab'e that the identification of the body of the infant was not com¬ plete, and Inasmuch as it was known that the dead man had a child, is v.-as surmised that it belonged to him, at any rate, the two bodies were found togetlier.
Van Billiard sailed in the Titanic with two children, and all three went down with he'r. His body was found by the Mackay-Bennett, near the scene of the wreclt, with that of the child tightly locked in his eni- * brace.
The copies of the death certificate were forwarded by the sexton of the cemetery lo Health Offlcer " Neville, of Conshohocken. and 'will be re¬ turned to the offlciai at Halifax by him.

JOHN L.  LONGSTRETH.
Johr> Lancaster Longstreth, a wide¬ ly known member of the Society of Friends who retired from active busi¬ ness 10 years ago, died Thursday at his home, 556 North Eighteenth street, Philadelphia. He was one of the few surviving member of one of the oldest classes of the Friends' Cen¬ tral school, which he attended in 1845. For several years he was an' elder at the Race street meeting house,

To Improve Old  York Road,
Of distinct importance to suburban¬ ites and to motorists who use the Old. York road is the statement that no less thau $150,0OJ wiil be spent by the state in the immedi.ate future in the improvement of certain sections of this historic highway. The an¬ nouncement is authentic, as Highway Commissioner Bigelow in a letter to Ezra P, Carrell, of Jamison tersely says, "1 wish to advise you that the York road is advertised for contract." This statement applies to that sec- > ,, .tion of York road from Street road 6/ in Warminster to CentiTevllie, in Bucks counly, a distance of nine miles. This road, when built, will be the first in the eastern part of the state constructed under the new stale highway act. When a committee from the district interested recentl.v consulted with Commissioner Bigelow ho advised them tliat under projios- ed plans the betterment of the Old York road in the district under con¬ sideration would involve not less than '150.000.

To the Publio:
When it was suggested that I take the management of the North of Bay Counties -Exhibit  Cars  from   Califor¬ nia,  r answered I WOULD ON  CER- TAI>f.    CON'DITIOXS;    namely,  that they   furnish   the   FI.XEST   EXHIBIT CARS ever sent out by any other sec¬ tion before, with its own electric light plant,  so  we  could  exhibit  evenings as well as in the daytime, and gather their      WONDERFUL      PRODUCTS from   their   orch.ards,  vineyards and ranches,   put   up   by    experts,   so   it would .-be   a  "WONDER"   itself,  and ', secure ti Marine Museum and Curiosl- j ties  trom ALL OVER THE WORLD, I BO  the OLD and  YOJWG,  RICH  and ] POOR,    EDUCATEIi    and    ILLITER- I ATE    could    visit    and   spend    hours j profitably. :
