KILLING WEAvILS IN PEAS AND

Every farmer who has cultivated pens,
and attempted to keep some through VIM
ter for seed knows what are called pea
bugs, which, w the way. is not bug,
but small gray beetle, known 70 entomulo-
gists as Bruclus pisi. Linn. or in some
late lists as Mylatris pisi. When gather
ing She peas in Fall. the presence of an
insect in the pea is not noticed, although
it is there. nevertheless. bot in the larvae,
or grub state, which undergoes is trans
formation during the Winter. aid ZONES
forth beetle atthe approach Of warm
weather 10 Spring. There are very few
localities where peas are not attacked by
this pest and although it does little harm
to the crop if gathered green for market,
when kept for seed its depredations become
quite apparent.
Another species ( Bruclns ObsoIetns say
attacks beans in the same manner, but in
stead Of ono beetle in each seed, as i gener-
ally the case with the pea, there are sever
al: sometimes twenty. or more will be
found in one bean. This insect attacks al.
the varieties. but is not quite IS abundant
in the Northern as IN the Middle and
Southern States. But they are becoming
more numerous every year. and unless soon
checked il will be difficult to obtain sound
beans for seed.

The election is over. The Repub-
lican party in Webster county has this
year for the FIRST time met opposition.
1t is needless to say that it was trium-
plant, and it could not well be other
wise. The Republican party CON-
lrises almost all the voters of the
county, and the ticket made up BY
the convention Was not one which
would justify desertion Of the ranks.
The nominees we're, generally speak
ing. men of Snimpeachable morals,
sound ability, and undisputed quali6.
catisn for the respective Offices. Ger
tainly the ticket in the field against
the Republican ticket could not be
kaid to excel in these respects. Moth
irg more can be claimed for the nom
imes on the opposition, and nothing
can he said against them in particular
% they we're al good men, only they
got on the wrong side Of the fence.
Some of the candidates We understand
knew nothing about their nomination
until It WAS too late to keep their
names from being used. We are well
pleased at the success of the old county
officers Is it would be hard to find .
better set Of men in this or any other
county.

between The state or the country, -
evidences by the fair and the coodi-
ton described by The old g~eographers-
The fair opened all our eyes to the
wonderful fertility Of the sol! of the
Republicu valley. and made Us oil
safis6ed vith our lot.
Notwithstanding this the fair Vas
not - good ~ it might have been.
There we're not - many entries a.
there should have been. All the prizes
offered we're not y competed for.
There was not enough competition for
any Of the premiums. The farmers
did not manifest the interest that is
essential TO the most successful fair
The cause vas in all probability the
doubt as to whether there would be
much Of q fair. The reasons Of this
are well known and need not nov b.
commented upon. They will not pro-
badly occur again. The agricultural
society met the last evening OF the
fair and went to work in proper and
business-like manner to secure a per
panent organization. and make ar
rangements for the coming year, which
csnnot fail to place the society on a
sound basis AMI put it in good running
order. Efficient officers we're elected
from the most able men in the society.
and the Executive Committee vcre
vested with powers sufficient to make
them highly culpabie, -four next fair

The Agricultural Society had its
regular meeting for the election OF
officers on the evening Of the 9TH 10
the school hou.e. A goodly number
of the members were present. Mr..
Knight called the meeting to order.
and the society then proceeded TO
elect officers for the coming year.
Tic following officers were then
elected G.. w. knight of ~Inavale,
President /; A NJ. Talbot Of Guide
Rock, Vice President (; b. II. Jones
of Inavale. Secretary; N. B. hcNitt,
Of Red Cloud. Treasurer.
The clause in the Constitution re.
luting to officers was amended by linn
i,ine the number Of the Executive
Committee to FIVE, and allowing them
20 be elected from any part Of the
county.
The following gentlemen were elect
ed members Of the Committee. ID.

The Constitution was then amended

the payment of Eve dollars.
On motion the Executive Commit
tee we're instructed to purchase lands
for the purposes Of the society. and
we're authorized to negotiate the credit
ofthe society in any manner by them
deemed advisable.
The President was also instructed
to make application to the County
Clerk for the tax given by the statute
to the society a permanent and official
instrument for advancing the sgricul-
tural interests of the county.

WELL, Webster county had her
fair. The weather was as beautiful as
could be desired. 1t vas just cool
enough to be comfortable in full dress.
The first day was occupied 10 bringing
the various articles into town, and
completing the arrangements for
Thursdays exhibition.
Thursday opened with . game Of
base ball between the Franklin county
and Red Cloud clubs, in which the
home boys we're victorious. Following
this the ~trOtting. running and draft
horses displayed their various excel
l~encies. The stock exhibit on was not
very full, There we're comparatively
few entries, and the display was not
such as to add to the reputation Of the
county. The farmers have not been
in a condition to cultivate the better
breeds Of cattle and horses.
The exhibition Of vegetables and
grain was very 6ne. The variety and
size Of the potatoes, squashes AMI
pumpkins We have never seer equaled
The turnips. beets and cabbages we're
larger than anything Of the kind we
have ever seen. The yield Of these
vegetables ~ also very large. Pota
toes, for instance, were produced 1t
the rate Of six hundred bushels to the
acre. Mr.. Hummel who took the pre-
MUM for the best acre of potatoes
raised one bundled and seventy bush
els from q Geld Of that size. Mr.. Tom
linson who took the premium for the
largest potatoes, had some varieties
so large that forty filled . busbel mea,
sure. The squashes and pumpkins
were unusually large ; some specimens
Of the long variety of squsshes meas
uring over seven feet around, and the
heaviest weighing scventy-two and a
half pounds. While the pumpkins
were . few pounds heavier. There
were beets weighing eighteen pouLds
and turnips of which twelve made a
bushel.
The small grain entries we're not
very numerous. Some very 6ne grass
wheat was exhibited by Messrs McNitt
and Helvern, and the last named gen
tleman also produced some extra bald
barley. Il u to be regretted that the
farmers did not take more interest 10
the display of small grain, and the
competition for prizes for largest yields.
It is desirable that We keep the peo-
pie in the east informed of our success
The corr VA the 6oest and largest
it has been our fortune to zee. Mr..
Renneoker who took the premium for
the best yield from two acres raised
one hundred bushels to the acre. The
stalks which be brought to the fair
measured fourteen feet in height and
we're nine fest to the 6ns ear. From
two hills Of this Geld he gathered sev-
suteea ears averaging . pound IN
