unearthed beyond few irregularities
which could be fixed by the suspension or

of those divisions had already resigned I'M

to resign or be kicked out The frvesti

Perry Heath, who then was the First As

loch refused to pay people who were car

some men were on the pay rolls three tunes

three salaries, that certain newspaper

Should Watch For The Melon Plant
Louise.

From the fact that the melon growers of the
State have suffered immensely in the past from
the attacks OF the melon plant louise, as IN
MANY instances the melon crop has been re-
duced one. half to two-thirdS n quantity, be-
sides being greatly impaired in quality, We
particularly advise them to be on the watch
this spring and summer for the first appear
ance OF the insects in their patches The eggs
that were deposited late last fall on weeds and
other plants. that will afford nOurishment III
the early spring, will hatch with the return of
the warm days, the young developing iulo
adult winged viperouS females. BY meals of
these winged forms the species is transferred
from the weed patches aud other situations 10
the melon fields where their offspring, ike
their winged mother, continue to multiply
rapidly by bringing forth their young alive.
In the meantime the winged insect has left
for other parts of the patch to start more col
onieS.
Since these melon aphidS feed upon large
variety OF plants. including many of our com
mon weeds in addition to cuclsDitous vines,
clean cultivation will do much 10 lesson their
chances of rapid development IN the early
spring.
As soon as the Young vines get four To SIX
leaves they should be carefully and frequently
examined for the lice and al the first appear

accomplished by covering the young vines
with tight boxes or other covers, twelve Ia
