will have done it's work so that the
tree will die. No tree, bearing green
foliage. is exempt from it's ravages.
While the worm has life no movement
of it's body can be determined with
the naked eye. 1t propagates very
rapidly. Unlike many other pests of
a similar nature, it is not spread by
the winds. but by birds carrying it on
their feet from Cne tree to another, so
that in one season it is capable of get
ting start in all parts of any Sec
tion.
1t is brought to different sections
in shipments of fruit. Where any of
the fruit is thrown away birds get
to it and carry it to the trees-and
so far as has been discovered, there
is no remedy for it other than to
cut down any and all trees.
On Puget Sound, where it first
made it's appearance last year, this
spring it was necessary in the city of
Seattle to cut down fully 10 per cent
of the shade trees in the city, to say
nothing of the destruction of small
private orchards and grounds where
once flourished fine ornamental and
shade trees.
The pests, it is supposed first came
from the Orient in fruit shipments.
They made their appearance in this
country in Southern California first
and from San Jose valley took
name. At the present time every
state in the union is devising ways
and means to rid itself of the scale
and many have expended large sums
of money. On the coast and in the
eastern and southern states it is very
bad this year and in some of the
northwestern cities it is beginning to
appear.
There is law providing a severe
penalty for the shipment of infected
fruit and sharp outlook will be kept
by the local fruit inspector to see that
it does not get hold in Great Falls,
if it can be prevented.

humorous side to the story. Possibly
one of the best of the latter class was
detailed by a prominent railroad man
who has been mixed up in strike trou-
bles in many sections of the country.
He was talking to some friends
about the great steel strike now in
