The Pneblo Chieitain pours out viaIs
Of wrath against Senator Sw1nk for the
decisive stand taken by him in guarding
the prior rights TO water of the many
canals in his district. The senator's from
Pueblo county fought the Twin lakes
reservoir bill because they desire to make
the Twin lakes an adjunct to their state
canal scheme, while the bill provided for
the use Of the stored waters by the diff
erent canals according to their establish
ed priorities; and yet the Chieftain pro-
fesses to have expected no opposition to
the state canal bill from the senator rep
resenting the counties Of Otero, Bent and
Prowers with hundreds Of miles of irri-
eating canals, built without state aid and
their thousands OF irrigated acres. When
Pueblo gets ready to ''tote fair" on the
reservoir question, then it will do fol
them to ask the support Of this section
for the state ditch. Senator Swink un-
derstands the feelings Of his constituents
perfectly on this business, and he has
done as they wish, and has done it well
in the face OF strong combination
against him.

Even the Cottonwood has an Insect
Enemy.

In front of the ENTERPRISE Office may
be sen several fine cottonwood trees
On two Of them may be noticed small
black balls, one tree being quite thickly
sprinkled With them. The adjacent trees
are Wholly free from this strange growth
Curious to know the nature Of the un-
natural bulbs, few specimens were sent
to Prof Gillette, of the department of
zoology and entomology, in the agricul-
turaI college, Fort Collins. An e1amin-
alton was promptly made and the follow
ing report has been received:
excresceDces on tvigs Of cottonwood are
at hand These abnormal growths are
the result OF the attacks OF very minute
insect, which, so far as can determine,
is undescTibed and hence unknown tn
science. If you will break into one OF
these gals you will see little reddish
spots near the bases Of the small leaf
like pieces making mp the gall. This
reddish appearance is due 10 many hum
dreds Of very small mites Phytoptus sp)
By removing some OF them ON the point
of pin and putting them on sheet OF
white paper you may be able, If you have
ROOu eyes, 10 see the lnuSluudl SpeCkS
that make up the mass, and to see that
they can move. Each gall contains many
thousands of these mites which will leave
the gals in the spring and take up their
abode in opening buds Of the tree, caus-
ing them to develope into similar growths
during the summer. Every gall that can
be obtained should be removed now and
burned. A thorough spraying with a
strong kerosene emulsion would probab-
Iy destroy many Of them.
