WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.
The Agitation to BE Continued with
Increased Ardor,

Now that the League OF American
Whcelmcn has abolished it's racing de-
partmcnt every attention will be given
the other branches Of work. The most
important of these is the highway i'm
provcmcnt department, to which is in
trusted the work in behalf of the good
roads movement.
The league has made rapid strides in
this movement, particularly during the
past year, but the racing question has
reflected upon this as upon all other
departments. the belief being dissem-
mated that none of the branches Of
league work could be made effective
until the racing question was settled.
The most important work accom-
pliShCd last year was the holding of
many good roads conventions in vari-
Gus states, the introduction of highway
Improvement measures in many of the
state legislatures and the evolution Of
the movement to national proportions,
as was evidenced by the bill intro
duccd in congress calling for an appro-
priation of $5,O00,000.
Constitutional amendments were car
ricd in Michigan and Minnesota, and q
large amount of education on the sub
jcct was circulated by the league. All
OF this work will be continued during
the present year, but upon n much
larger scale than heretofore. I'm fact
this will be one Of the most important
agitations Of the year aside from the
nresidcntial elections.

CUCUMBER BFETLE-LAEVA AND ADULT.
the winter in the ground. They come
out during warm spring weather and
attack various kinds of foliage with
ravcnous appetite. They eat dirty,
tough and even poisonous foliage with
avidity. After n few days feeding
their hunger being appcascd, their food
Is confined to tender parts of plants,
and 1t is difficult to induce them to eat
foliage coated with foreign substances
such as the arsenitcs. "A. l.. Quintancc
Of the Georgia station. who has made
n study of these cucurbit pests, says no
one line Of treatment or one insecti-
eide seems satisfactory and best re-
suits are probably from the conjunc-
tion of several remedies.
Direct application Of poisons to TO-
liage has not proved satisfactory, ac-
cording to Mr.. Quintance, because
when the arsentes are sufficiently
strong to kill the beetles burning Of
foliage is almost sure to result. Nari-
Gus kinds of covers have been recon-
mended for covering the plants as they
are pushing through the soil and later
Most commonly used are ordinary
boxes with top and bottom open, the
top being covered with cheesecloth.
a domclikc covering may be easily
made by crossing two halves OF q bar
rel hoop and putting on n cover
Cloth or paper wire covers are used by
some growers.
Planting an excess Of seed is advis-
able, as the injury becomes more dis
trbuted, and after the beetles have

be thnncd out TO the proper stand.
Early planting also Will frequently al
low the plants TO get well started be-
fore the beetles make their appear
ancc. and their effects on the plants
will not bc SO severe.
The value Of squash plants as trap
crops in early spring for the striped
cucumber beetle has recently been de-
monStratcd. Professor Shrine Of New
York has found that If squash arc
planted around the margins of fields.
four or five days In advance Of plant
ing the main crop o: melons or GU
cumbcrS and again four or five GayS
later, the beetles will to q considerable
extend feed on the squash. If npccs-
sary. 1h.rd planting CT squash can
be made after four or five days. As
soon rs the main Crcp begins to come
up Il Shou!d be sprayed with bordeaux
mixture to render the plants diStaStc-
ful to ihe beetles and to let the beetles
breed OH the squash plants, but rs soon
as they begin to feed some Of the
plants should lie busted with Gn ar.
scnlte. as paris green. and many bee
ties will be killed.
Ii is not advisable to dust all Of the
trap plants with the poison at first.
Every few days more OF the trap
plants should be busted with poison,
and 1t should be done thoroughly. The
applications of poison to the trap crops
and the spraying Of bordeaux mixture
on the main crop should be continued
~ needed.

groups and stationed themselves along
the public road leading to the mino
there. The sheriff and 80 men did not
interfere. One unruy striker was ar

Said to deal at great length with the
questions involved, but nothing can be
