While the borer is not so great
an enemy as the scale or curculio,

THE PEACH TREE BORER.
**TT%%%%

portant things TO know when W.
have to fight any insect, is its lif'
history. Last spring several frui
growers made mound of sol
around the base of their peach trees
and removed it in August. This
banking up was done as remedy
or preventative for borers.
In one of these orchards some
days ago | saw a man hunting Dor
ers. "A very hard thing to find at
this time of year
Now the trouble is these men
don't understand the life history of
the insect they are trying to fight.
They have probably been mis-
informed by some smart fellow-a
writer and Entomologist perhaps,
with head full of book learning,
a tongue strained to scientific
terms, minus any practical knowl-
edge of the subject"
Sometimes such experts do in
calculable damage.
The fruit grower that believes
and tries to follow every thing he
reads will make failure.
We should read, always remem
boring we may know more of the
subject than the writer. The fact
that man gets some of his theo-
ries in print is no sign that he is
infallible.
A state Entomologist wrote in a
special Bulletin: "The peach tree

he was mistaken. Here is the
true life history of the insect: 1t ma
lures and lays eggsin late summer
and early autumn. The eggs hatch
in few days and by cold weather
the young are good sized grubs.
The life of the insect is one year.
The mature insect is a wasp like
moth, dark colored almost black;
with redish, yellow stripe around
the body. Very active, shy and
good flyer. Unlike most true
moths its ha bits are diurnal; does
not survive the winter.
August or September is too early
to move the mound from trees, as
the moths are most abundant then.
Not necessary to make the
mounds before last Of June or first
of July as the very earliest moths
are not out before about
July Goth. The mounds if made
should remain until Nov. when
they and the soil around base of
tree a few inches below ground
level, should be removed. This

They have been throughout southern
Kansas from Emporia south to Pitts

towns they have taken the reports of
the we'll drillers as to the depth at
which certain shale and lime stone
formations were found and as soon
as they have the figures all in will
make a comparative statement wi tn
pictures. They take everything down
to the Mississippi limestone. Every
thing dips to the west. The Mississ-

Galena and then there are regular
layers of rock and shale which crop
out at different points. the lola rock
being one of them.

THE LEAGUE CASES SETTLED
The Federal Court Passes Upon the
Title to Railroad Lands Ill
Allen County #

Old settlers of Allen county will not
need to be told of the long contest
that has been made over the title to
certain lands in this county. But for
the benefit of new comers is may be
stated briefly that the railroad title
to large body of lands in the eastern
part of the county was attacked
nearly twenty years ago, on the
ground that the railroad patents had
been wrongfully issued, and the case
has been in the courts in one way or
another ever since.
1t was finally settled, however, by
a decision handed down at Leaven-
worth Monday of this week by Judge
Hook, of the United States Court, the
general effect of which is to confirm
the railroad title.

members of his family, owns about

Death Of W. N. Friend.

The sad news came to lola in dis
patch from Hutchinson Monday that
VIII Friend had died on the way here
from Colorado Springs.
Wellington NJ. Friend was a resi-
deut of lola some thirty years ago.
He.was a veteran of the Civil War and
afterwards came to lola ana en-
gagged in his trade of painting. In
1868 he enlisted in the Nineteenth
Kansas and served through the war
against the Indians and at its close
went west and for the past thirty years
has been miner in Colorado, New
and Old Mexico. He was taken i'll
about a month ago at his home in
Colorado Springs and Miss Nellie
Colborn and Miss Allie Scott, his
nieces, who were in the city unknown
to him, were notified and nursed him
until he seemed better. Later he be-
came worse, and his sister, Miss Mary
Friend, went to Colorado Springs. He
was possessed with longing to re-
visit lola and insisted on starting
home, but the journey proved too
much for him and he died at Hutchin-
son where Miss Friend stopped and
had the remains taken to an UNDER
taking establishment.

The Indiana Man Who Visited lola
Seeking Glass Plant Location
Trying to Form Company.

The visit of Messrs. FELTON, and
Williams, Indiana glass men, to lola
some weeks ago was told in the REGIS
TER. These gentlemen wanted site
and well and the necessary money
was all but raised here. 1t was, in
fact certain to be raised but before
papers were signed up news came that
that the plant had been located IN
West Virginia. Negotiations imme-
diately ceased. 1t seems that the CO.
operative company which the gentle
men represented sent delegates to
West Virginia and to Kansas and
while the men who came here got what
they asked, the other men asked for
and got more, SO we lost the fac
tory.
The following from the Pittsburg
Commoner and Glass Worker, the Of
fetal organ of the glass trade, is OF
interest to lola people therefore, as
it re-opens the question: "Elwood,
Ind, Aug. lS.-Albert Williams and
AL FELTON,, window blowers of Elwood,
Ind, have lately returned from Kan
sas, where they went to inspect the
gas territory and the prospects of To-
eating window glass factory ohere.
They are much pleased with the pros
poets of that field and say they were
greatly encouraged by the iobbers in
that vicinity. a 100000 cubic foot
flow was lately struck at lola. The
cooperative company they were re-
presenting have since located at Man
nington, w. Va. and started to build
there. Neither of them belong to it
now, and favor company to build in
Kansas"
The kind of a plant Messrs. FELTON,
and Williams wished to start would
employ fifty men to begin with. Fifty
glass workers means 2j0 people, all
newcomers, all enjoying ample means
to live we'll. Glass workers draw good
wages and fifty men added to lola 5
tin bucket brigade would be a most
pleasant event.
The REGISTER would like to give
them the glad hand this fall and the
chances are that negotiations will be
re-opened before long.
