THE WHEAT PEST.
Straw Worm by Prof F. II.
Snow

From the Plat nville Times.
The following letter, which was
kindly hunded us for publication, con-
tains much that will be of interest
and value to the farmers. We were
also given letter from Prof. Pope
noe, of the State Agricultural college,
written to @. @. Burroughs, but as
the one we herewith append is more
condensed, we give it the preference:
LAWRENCE, Kas., June 20, 1891.
MIR. j. V. Burroughs, Zurich, Kansas.
DEAR SIR: Yours of late date at
hand. Your wheat contains the
wheat straw worm (Isosoma trlticil.
II is very formidable pest which is
injuring the wheat in many parts of
the state. Nothing can be done to
stop It's rayages now. This insect
causes the damage to the wheat by
eating out the interior of the stem
and thus preventing the head from
filling out. 1t is almost as injurious
as the Hessian fly, although I hav9
not known it to- occur in Kansas in
any destructive numbers since 1885.
The preventive measures with refer
ence to the next crop appear to be
burning or destroying the stubble,
which will destroy the insect in the
straw; also the burning of surplus
straw IN the spring. And secondly,
an occasional rotation of crops.
Wheat placed upon ground not in
wheat the preceding year is not so
likely to be affected by the pest. The
fall wheat is liable to be attacked by
the pest next spring unless the straw
and stubble is burned as suggested
above. As yet no remedy has been
found for this formidable pest, but as
its ravages become more noticeable
the attention of entomologists will be
directed toward its destruction.
Very truly yours,
&. H Snow.

down town that afternoon and went to
the Tarrantine club rooms, where he
was playing pedro, when he fell for
ward on his chest. A gentleman re-
marked: "The Senator seems to feel
badly" Mr.. Hamlin said: 81 do"
Men gathered around him and he was
taken TO lounge. Physicians were
summoned. No pulse was visible for
an hour and it was thought they
could not bring him out. Finally he
revived somewhat aud managed to
articulate freely. The doctors work
ed over HIM faithfully and his family
was sent for. Soon Mrs, Hamlln,
General Charles HamIIn, his son
and wife and other members were at
his side. All was done for him in hui
man power but in vain and he passed
away peacefully at 8:15 p. m. He
leaves a widow and sons, General

From the Long Island Leader.
Rev. Theo Bracken filed the Pres
byterian pulpit on Sunday evening.
Banker Handy and Mr. Bickford of
Phillipsburg. were in this city on
business on Tuesday.
Smiths mills resumed work on Sat
urday. The dam has been put In
repair since the flood and the mill is
IN better working order than ever be-
fore.
From the Logan Republican:
A few more days favorable wealth
er will enable the farmers to clean
out most of their corn fields IN good
shape. Corn is small, but of good
color and growing rapidly.
Mr.. Peter Hansen and family re-
turned home from their Colorado trip
on Friday evening of last week.
They saw fine country while gone, but
have rendered the universal verdict,
viz: That Kansas is the finest coun-
try in the world and Phillips county
is the most desirable portion of Kan
sas.
From The Independent.
Sheriff Lee Scrivener was in the
city last Friday.
Hon. John Bissell had very import
business in Kirwin last Saturday
gathering cherries.
Loco" it is reported, is very thick
on the prairies this year. Good idea
to hunt it all out of your pastures.
Phillipsburg was awfully afraid
some of her neighboring towns would
get little advantage of her, so at the
last moment conclude to have a cele-
bration. Go to 1t. We held off two
years ago to attend your celebration.
The first ensilage cutter outfit COM
plete was sold last Monday by @. @.
Freeman to VIM. Gudger and Ly-
man Perkins. The cutter has ca
pacity of five tons per hour and runs
by four horse power. This is the first
step taken by our farmers in this di-
rection and it is wise one. Our pre-
diction is that in less than two years
such cutters will be used by a great
proportion of our farmers.

One-slded Law.

A very remarkable view of the rela-
tive rights of capital and labor is ex-
pressed by the following paragraph
from an editorial from a New York
contemporary on the history of social
movements in England: Between
1924 and 1866 a large number of IL
legal societies for maintaining the rate
of wages and SO on were established
in England under the name of
Trades Unions" These were met
by perfectly legal manufactures pro-
lection societies for keeping down the
rate Of wages" and so on.
This is a beautiful expression of
impartiality on the subject of legal
rights of employers and employed.
1t was illegal for the men to organ
ize to raise the rate of wages; but for
manufactures to unite to crowd them
down to the starvation point, and pre-
vent the force of competition for labor
from henefting the masses, was, ''per-
fectly legal" If this ever was or
could be the case, it would reduce to
the rank of a sober and rather conser-
vative statement of fact the old Socil-
istic cry that there is zone law for the
poor and the other for the rich"
The fundamental theory of that
kind of law would be the burdening
and impoverishing of the masses fol
the benefit of the privileged few. That
law long maintained breeds reYolu-

The popular cutlery all over the
state against the state board of rail
road assessors for reducing the assess
ments against the railroads 10 mil
lions has resulted IN the publication
of a detailed statement giving the
reasons of the board for it's action.
The board IS composed of the lieuten-
ant governor, secretary of state, audi
tor, treasurer and attorney general.
Its statement makes $1,000 words and
shows that the assessed valuation of
railway property has increased yearly
for the last four years, while other
assessments have decreased until last
year they were II per cent. of the to-
tai valuation of state property. The
board defend itself against the charg-
es of the people, but holds the rail-
road companies responsible for it all
because of 'their peculiar railway
arithmetic.
1t complains because the compan-
les insist upon adding the yearly ex-
pendItures in improvements to the
original cost of the road to make its
total cost and adds that there would
be as much sense in q farmer inelud-
ing his mortgage bonds and interest
he pays to show total cost of house
and ranch. The board has discover
ed that the actual cost of the railway
lines In the state is not more than one
third of the actual figures submitted
to the railway commissioneFs.-Kan
