FRUIT CULTURE.
LETTER NUMBER 2.

EDITOR FREE PREss:-The fails
ure of peach and plum crops are
caused by curculio. Late freezes
injure young fruit and opening
buds. But I have never seen them
SO nicely distributed as to kill the
entire bloom of any variety, or dc.
stroy early, medium and late set
fruit. The common saying: "Most
of the fruit shed-what stald was
wormy," explains and at the same
time gives us the clew desired. The
remedy where tie curculio IN es.
,ablished, the prevention where not,
must come from a knowledge OF
the life and habits of the pests.
The mother beetle lives in crevs
ices of trees or hides in trash all
winter. They eat buds, bark and
fruit, scooping out the inside with
their long snout. They can be
caught by spreading sheets under
tree and jarrlng it with hammer
on the end of a sawed off limb near
the trunk. Where there are many
this should be done every morning
for ten days after the fruit sheds
the petals, or as long as you find
any. They are very timid, and at
a slight jar fold theirssnout and legs
under their body and fall to the
ground, where they resemble small
buds or grape seed. Eggs are laic
under the skin of fruit as soon as
formed; they hatch in few days
and in the form of a worm enter
the stone, then soft, or the core of
an apple; this kills the fruit and
it falls to the ground, where the
worm completes its development III
a few days; then leaving the fruit it
goes two or three inches deep in
the soil only to come up full de-
veloped egg-layer in 80 days, which
is the right time to make all the
remaining fruit wormy as it ripens.
When the little fruit begins to fall
let 1t fall on a clean place so that
you can find every one; THEN BURN
EVERY ONE, EVERY DAY, When
a season like this one comes and
very little fruit has developed,
very few curculio live until spring.
Their field for propagation is mar"
row, their food scarce, and those
that start have no relay in the
| Journey of their species to another
wear. ESQ when we view the pros
poets, there is safety in stating:
There will be plenty of fruit next
year.
I think it will only be necessary
to keep the shielded young fruit
picked up and every wormy peach,
plum or apple destroyed by fire on
sight to insure crop every year
unlil some new enemy appears.
The comparative isolation of our
farms protect us cOuntrymen from
careless neighbor, but in towns a
law should be passed making it
misdemeanor for any person to
propagate a nuisance.

A DEBS SENSATION.

CHICAGO, July 25.-Prcsident Debs &
Co.'S attorney, w. W. Erwin. counsel for
the American Railway Union officers.
caused sensation in the contempt pro-
ceedings to-day by violently assailing
the government officers. and Indirectly
attacking the Court. During his speech
which was delivered Immediately after
the adverse decision OF the Court on the
defendants motion TO qnash the tnforma-
tions against them, Judge Wood was
visibly excited and although retaining
control OF his anger. showed his sup
pressed excitement b. his trembling
hands and agitated expression.
Mr.. Erwin asserted that In cases OF
injustice, the power OF the people, back
of the government. reverts to the people,
and as he spoke his tall frame quivered
with excitement. Even his gestures were
wild. and his voice rose almost to a
shrek.
Beginning his speech with review OF
the troubles leading up 10 the strike,
MIR. Erwin declared that the railroads
had entered into a conspiracy 10 sustain
the Pullman Company IN the latter's fight
with their employees. The Court must
decide the supreme question. he said
whether the men were not justified In
resenting such conspiracy when the
courts were silent regariing IL.
such conspiracy did exist" he said
"and the courts and officers of thq
government gave no redress. The ques'
ton Is whether the people are sovereign
or whether their power Is delegated tc
wicked men. and 20 representatives who
are asleep. Had not the men a right tc
resist this conspiracy of the railroads
to sustain Pullman In his inhumanty and
ILLEGAL acts?'

AN AMUSING CASE.
An amusing case was brought to the
attention Of the Mayor this morning. A
youth named Peter Crowder was ar
raigned on a warrant charging him with
a violation of a city ordinance. 1t APP
peared from the evidence that the only
offence the youth had committed was
in remarking to two citizens In Firth
Ward, who were together: You two men
are more alike than any two ever saw"
Thereupon one Of the gentlemen, who
didn't consider II compliment to be
called like the other. took umbrage. called
the youth an ugly name, and had him
arrested on the plea that II was an out
rage to be called like the other man.
The case caused g great deal OF amuse-
ment in court, but, of course, was dis
missed.

The announcement that ex-governor Nc

in this district has aroused good deal OF
interest in this city. The Governor has
many friends in this section. but the
probability Is that there will be several
other names before the convention.
