FARMING MATTERS.

The constitution of Colorado pro-
yides that the waters of the state are
appropriated for benefcent irrigation
and domestic uses. but does not give
any person or corporation the right to
more than for actual needs. When the
appropriation act was first passed 1t
was supposed that the water went with
the land. but courts have decreed that
the water may be transferred separate
ly, yet excessive use is not allowed.
There is now a bill in the Legislature
to regulate this matter.

Blight lnJure. Maple Trees.

Prof II. l.. Shantz. instructor OF bi-
oiogy at Colorado College. has ISSUED
n circular warning owners OF maple
trees Of q serious blight that menaces
the principal shade tree of Denver.
The circular follows:
IAN examination OF the naples In
eastern Colorado shows the presence
of great numbers OF the cottony maple
scale tpulvinaria innumcrabilis ratho,.
They are much more numerous In
many sections than they were last
year. and we may therefore cxpcc, 70
find considerable damage done to the
shade trees the coming summer.
ANY one who cares to take the time
may determine for himself whether or
not there are scales on his trees. They
are small. about twice as Ions as
broad. and OF the color OF the bark.
They are found on the younger
branches.
These maple scales have a simple
life history. The females dor the
scales we flnd at this time are all fe-
males) will produce eggs next spring.
The eggs appear In cottony egg sacs
and are produced In great numbers.
from the cggs small lice-likc animals
are developed. These migrate TO the
foliage parts and there live on the
living tissues of the leaf. The males
develop wings. but the females do not.
The males die and the females migrate
back to the woody stems. there to re-
main unnoticcd during the winter.
This form has 80 many natural sn-
emies that II is seldom harmful. In
fact. II is seldom plentiful for two sue
ccssive years and on account OF this
fact we probably have little to fear
from these scales. At times. however.
II becamcs very plentiful and does
much damage before ihc natural enc
mics can have multiplied sufficiently
to check It's increase.
Artificial means can BIO employed
for the destruction OF these scales. The
trees may be sprayed In summer or In
winter. but the latter In preferable.
