apparent that the seeds Of disorder which
Spain took pains to SOW before leaving the

the very few praiseworthy things which he
accomplished while in command of the is

thus properly prevented from adding TO the

country. His orders We're carried out by
his successor, despite the protests of the
American authorities who were soon to
take possession of the colony. The Nanigos

There is reason to fear that the adminis-

There are two arguments to be brought
against this project of ending the rebellion

at q bribe by permitting Spain to pay this

Apple Industry in Danger.

Horticultural Inspector White
writes letter to the Canon City
Clipper which justifics the editor
in giving it the heading, apple
Industry in Danger. Mr.. White
says:
Il have visited 1873 blocks o!
trees, large and small, within the
last ten days. I have found but
few orchards that are entirely
free from injurious insects. Many
fruit growers seem to have con-
ceived the idea that trees will take
care of themselves-all that is
necessary is to plant and irrigate.
If We apply this theory in our gar
dening and general farming utter
failure Of crops and an empty
pocket book would be the inevi-
table result. l make notes of all
places l visit which read about
like this: Mr.. (so many
acres Of trees: condition of trees,
insects and diseases. blight and
aphis."
Perhaps every fruit grower is
aware that blight is contagious
disease, and from a selfish stand
point and for the welfare of his
neighbor's orchard, should cut it
out and burn it. There may be
some. however who ore not 80 ia
miliar with the "woolly aphis". /.
To these persons I wish to call at
tention tO it's evil effects.
Character Of injury. The ef-
feet of attack by this insect is Of
ten visible chiefly as a general en-
feeblement and gradual decline,
resulting, when very severe in the
death Of the tree. If these in.
sects are not persistently fought
from our orchards from this very
day, the apple industry will in a
few years be doomed in this coun-
try. This insect is not only
around the health resorts of Col
orado, but seems to have good
health most everywhere in the
United States and many foreign
countries. In my opinion it is one
of our very worst enemies to apple
culture. If this be SO, why should
fruitgrowers be SO careless about
trying to combat the insect?"
Our nonresident readers will
please remember that the above
refers to Fremont county. The
fruitgrowers of Otero county are
more wide awake to the dangers
of insect pests and give their or.
chards much more prompt and
careful attention than is done by
their neighbors up the valley.
