holding the band in place. Then take

the worms carried 10 with the apples in
the fall will perish. Screens should be
provided for all the openings 10 the
building and ia the spring when the
moths emerge, care-should be taken not
to leave a door or window open. This

therein from escaping aud hence save a

DELINQUENT TAX DISTRIBUTION.
Levy Collections 1897 Back to
Districts from General County School

County Superintendent Rosenthsl has
just received from District Attorney
Gortner an answer to an inquiry as to
the legality OF the action of County
Treasurer McHenry in diverting all
taxes collected by him for years 1896 and
1897 to the general county and general
school fund, including the special levies
made by various school districts. Mr..
Gortnsr's opinion in full is as follows;
Santa Fe, N. NJ, December To- 1s99.-
DR.. A R0senthal, Superintendent Of
Schools, San Juan County, Pennington,
N. NJ Dear Sir. n am just now able,
on ny reIurn if0lA Ine courts in Rio
Afriba and Taos counties, to take up
your letter Of November 13. wherein you
state that, acting under Sec. 2 of "a
Act Relating to Delinquent Taxes" Q. B
1913, approved March 16 1899, Hon @. H.
McHenry, treasurer, has distributed ALL
TvxEs Of 1896 and 1897 to the general
county fund and the general school fund,
and that in eueh distribution the pro-
ceeds Of the special levies made by
various school districts in your county
have been included.
Similar enactments have been made
by several Of our legislatures, and this
particular act has been attacked 10 the
district court here by parties holding
outstanding obligations against various
county funds from which, by said act.
the moneys we're diverted into the gen
eral county and general school funds.
It has been held by Judge Mct'ie that

TAOS ern, court Term.
The Taos Clresset speaks as follows o
the results achieved by the district
court at the late term in that county:
The term OF court which colsed Tues.
day was a remarkable one from two
standpoints, at leasG the large amount
Of business done in 80 short a time, and
the very small amount Of money ex-
pended.
The court was in session eight days in
all, during which time fifty six cases
we're disposed Of, some Of these we've
cases which had been on the docket for
years and others were appeals from the
justice Of the peace courts Of the differ
eut precincts. Thirty one OF these we're
criminal cases and twenty five we're civil.
The total cost Of the term Of court,
which includes the above, to the county
of Taos, was 81, ,.4028 which includes
absolutely all expenses, and every cent
of which is paid.
This unprecedented showing was due
to the able management on the part of
the judge. the dispatch and accuracy 10
the performance of such duties as de-
vOlved upon the clerk, the decisive and
exhaustive examinations and determine.
tions Of the district attorney ana the
quick aud good Performance Of the work
which fell to all the other employees.
together with the best of service on the
part Of the sheriff aud his deputies, and
the juries, all OF whom have shown that
they were anxious to make a better
showing Tor Taos county than she has
ever before had.

waiting until the moths have perished
before the doors and windows can be
thrown open. Wherever fumigation is
impractiCable if the doors and windows
are kept constantly closed the moths
will finally die a natural death.
The number of wsrms that are carried
into the store rooms with the apples in
the fall is surprising and as rule most
OF these succeed in passing the winter
snugly tucked away 10 their cocoons in
some corner or apple crate of the fruit
house. Hundreds OF cocoons have been
found in a single apple barrel. Ia one
instance where all the openings in a
storehouse in California were screened,
the owner succeeded in trapping nearly
5000 moths the following spring. These
moths alone would have been enough TO
ruiu almost million apples in a single
season had they been permitted to repro
duce their kind in the orchard
10 conclusion we have good reasons to
believe that il the above suggested
measures we're carefully carried out by
all the orchardists of any community,
the ravages of the codling moth would
be reduced to the minimum. OF course
it is Of very little if any practical benefit
to orchsrdists il only few OF them OBJ
serve such precautions, for while one
o;ehardist may succeed in destroying a
great many moths, il his neighbor does
not undertake to accomplish the same
end there will be enough escape to fur
nish abundant material for succeeding
generations.
