The strawberry root louise has been
recognized as strawberry pest since
1882. In which year It was described
by Prof Forbes. Prof Weed took up
the study OF the insect and named It
Aphis Forbesi, in honor Of Prof.
Forbes. 1t is now quite generally
known as far east M the Atlantic
coast. In New Jersey and Maryland
this year It Is reported to be doing a
good deal Of damage. Fortunately the
insect Ii wingless and can spread but
slowly. 1t is, however. believed that
the ants help 1t to spread, by carrying
lice to new beds. Tho ants also do

to do when the insect has appeared in
a neighborhood Is to put out new beds
on absolutely clean ground and see
that no colonies OF ants are near
enough to assist the plant lice to new
pasturage.

STRANGE
TA[E...

The search of a Milwaukee girl for
long missing sister. through the New
York federal census department, has
developed a romance. Twenty-Five
years ago poor German family liv-
ing in New York determined to try
their fortune in what to them was the
far west. They did not know just
where they would make their future
home and fortune. but it was to be
somewhere in the west. There were
five children, three daughters and two
sons. The Oldest child was one of the
daughters and she refused to come
west with the family. She was 18
years old and did not want to leave the
city for the unknown wilds of a new
country. She said that she would stay
behind and make her way alone.
The goodbys were said. the mother
parted with her eldest child. and the
family left New York forever. That
parting twenty-five years ago was the
last time the mother ever saw her
daughter. When the family reached
Milwaukee they decided to stop. The
father obtained work and found cot
tage for their home. The mother
thought of her daughter left behind,
and wrote letters, but she had lost the
address and the letters always came
back. The daughter who stayed be-
hind did not know where her parents

Becretary Wilson. Of the Department
Of Agrici' nre, ha3 received q COM
inunication from Secretary Hitchcock.
Of the Department OF the Interior, AK
ing his aid in solving the problem Of
grazing In the western forest reserves.
The Division OF Forestry will COM
mence Immediately an Investigation
which will last several months. The
controversy over the alleged evil sf-
fects Of sheep grazing has involved
western cattlemen, woolgrowers. and
farmers In bitter war for many
years. and the recent increase OF irri-
CATION has added to the bitterness
Government action in the matter has
been hastened by the establishment OF
forest reserves. In view OF the injury
to the forests in many sections from
overgraxing. all reserves except those
In Washington and Oregon. and the
Black Mesa Reserve. In Arizona. which
is to be opened to 100000 sheep at 3
cents q head. are closed to sheep by an
order issued last May. This step has
raised storm OF protest from wool
growers, who insist that NO harm is
done by grazing under proper restric-
tions. Many are reported to have
driven their herds into the mountains
last summer In defiance OF the law.
Against the sheep owners are ar
rayed the cattlemen and farmers. and
especially the irrigators, who claim
the practice means disaster to agricui-
ture In the lowlands. These argue that
sheep destroy the forest cover in the
mountains and thus diminish the
water supply. They are said not only
to eat the young growth which IL to
perpetuate the forest. but to tramp
down innumerabie seedlings and de-
stroy the layers OF leaves necessary 70
keep the soil In good condition. Sheep
herders are accused of burning large
areas In order to secure a growth Of
grass. While the government will
decide the matter only In the case OF
the forest reserves. these include =
largo part OF all the summer ranges
of the western sheep raising states.
and the results will be OF great import
ancs to the American wooi-growing In
dustry.
As no general rule can be applied.
each reserve will be studied separately.
The Erst step OF the Division of For
estry will be to collect impartiniiy the
testimony OF both sides Lists OF
questions will be sent to Thousands OF
sheep men and their opponents. About
July 1 an examination Of the reserves
will begin. A humber OF botAnists. ir-
rigxtion experts. and similar scientific
men viii be secured from ali parts Of
the United States. and they will spend
several months In the ficld. In addi-
ton. all Geld parties Of the Division Of
Forestry engaged In other vork In the
interested regions will be required 70
give TO the sheep question also. Sec
retary Hitchcock has asked the De-
partment OF Agriculture to give special
attention to the following phases: Re-
lation Of grazing to taxation and thu
general prosperity Of specified iocaii-
ties Relation of grazing to forest
fres. Relation Of grazing to the pres-
ervation and reproduction OF forest.
Relation OF grazing to irrigation and

was "a: on May >, 1895. IL was 3i.5, and
