WASHBURN ON The
ELM.LEAF BEETLE.
STATE ENToMoLoGIsT WRITES
G. M. LoRING ABOUT TT
Dense Smoke Hurting the Films Too
The Maple Scale and How to Get
Rid of It.

G. M. Loring has received letter
from Professor F. L. Washburn, state
entomologist, relative to the condition
of the elm trees along Kenwood park
way that have been yellowing, droop-
ing and losing their leaves for several
weeks. Mr.. Loring feared that the
trouble was caused by the elm-leaf
beetle, altho he suspected that the
dense smoke from the st. Louis tracks
might have done some damage. While
Professor Washburn does not minimize
the danger to the trees, he seems to
think that something may be done to
save them. The letter is as follows:
"The perforations in the leaves at
the top Of the trees looked like the
work OF the elm-leaf beetle, but as we
could not get close to those leaves to
ten out by an insect, [ hesitate to say
absolutely that it is the elm-leaf beetle.
Even if it is, the following and droop-
ing of leaves on some Of the trees can
not be due to this troublesome insect.
Undoubtedly. as stated by resident
by the dense smoke from the car shops.
But that this smoke was not respon-
sible entirely is shown by the fact that
trees are found in the same condition
elsewhere in the city.
II am sending Mr.. Berry some Elm
leaf beetles, so that he may be aware
Of their appearance, and possibly, note
more work this year. I think if they
are here we can readily handle them.
Spraying is by all odds the best rem
edy or means Of prevention. l shall
make it a point to be on the lookout
next spring, and if these beetles ap.
way possible to keep them in check.
word
maple scale, which is so common on
many of our soft NAPLES, and on some
of the elms turnout the city, This year
has found them very abundant in va
rious parts of the, United States, and
while they are taken care of by para
sites, and | hardly think they will cause
serious injury, nevertheless, I see some
| Of our naples, upon which the scale is
seen. wilted and otherwise showing the
effect of this constant sapping from
their twigs and branches. [ think these
should be cut back a little, and the
the scales on them. In the winter time
caustic washes could be used to kill
the scales, and during June and July,
when the young are Matched and crawl
ing over the tree, whale soap or ker-
osene emulsion could be used, if the pest
should appear another season.
- L have every reason to believe that
the principal cause Of the sudden spread
of this insect over so many Of our shade
trees in the city is the presence of the
English sparrow, for the minute young
swarming over a tree in the spring and
summer by crawling upon the feet of
the sparrows, would be readily carried
and probably are, from tree to tree. OF
course, any bird other than the English
sparrow would do this, but the English
sparrow is the abundant bird in our cit
les and the streets of our villages .anG
it is here that we find the injury from
the maple scale.'' r.

DON'T GET ON JURIES
MAPLE PLAIN SWEDES THINK
THEIR NATIONALITY IS NEG
LECTED BY THE COURTS.

Swedish. residents of Maple Plain think
their nationality has not been treated
fairly in the matter Of jury service. A
complaint has been filed with Judge A.
M. Harrison of the district court and
he has promised to LOOK into the matter.
"Why in the last two years there has
been but one Swede in our town called
to serve on a Hennepin county jury.'
said John Hillstrom of Maple Plain.
Now when over half of the residents
are Swedes this does not seem right. At
times jury duty is a burden to the
farmer, but during the winter months
when there is little to do at home, jury
service is very acceptable. For some
reason the Swedes here have been over
loked. Other people have been called
repeatedly and it looks as tho there was
something wrong about it. Of course
the judges don't know the nationality
of the men they put on the lists and so
it looks as tho some one interested was
helping out his friends.''

STRIKE HITS sTOCKMEN
Gut in Price of Cattle Is $3.50 {
Hundred. g

81 q . T. q -
North Dakota stockraisers are rest
i've, because, altho they receive $3.50 a
hundred pounds less for cattle on the
ahoof since the beef packers strike be-
gan, no reduction in prices is made to
the consumer, while retailers pay ST.
more. The reduction in two years means
a loss of about $500 a car. Prices then
were 1913 and now $500. Raisers do
not feel the slump is warranted. A. n.
Jeffrey Of Dickinson, who has just taken
train load Of stock to Chicago, says:
( With the largest product Of range
fed beef in our state, since 1898, we
are receiving lower prices than for some
years. The Chicago market has steadi-
ly declined since the strike Of the pack
ers began, until now we are receiving
$1.50 per hundred less for our cattle
than we were before the trouble started.
The buyers assign the reduction in price
to the strike. but we are not certain that
they are telling the truth when they are
getting about 81 hundred more for the
dressed article than before the strike.''

JUDGE HARRISON DECIDES BAL
LOTS NEED NO BLANK SPACES
Democratic Committee Offers to Drop
This Point If Filings Made on Aug.
81 Are Not Contested-Latter Point
Settled by Judge MCGEE In 1902.

County Auditor Scott this morning
should be left on the primary election
ballots to, write in names, to Judge
Harrison in chambers. Judge Harri-
son ruled that the printing Of the bal
lots without blanks was the correct
form, and that the primary law did
not contemplate the use Of blanks.
George T. Douglass, chairman of the
gested a basis of greement this morn,
ing, saying that the, democrats would
not make a legal contest over the mat
ter if the republicans would agree
not to contest the filings of primary
election candidates made on Aug. 81.
With this proposal goes the threat that
if any of the democrats who fled the
be a stiff battle to compel the auditor
to have the ballots reprinted with
blanks SO that the democrats can write
in the names Of the men ruled off the
ticket. De-,
The only offices for which democrats
have not filed, are representative in
the forty-third district, and superin-
tendent of schools.
Decision Was by MCGEE.
County Auditor Scott says he &C.
cepted filings of primary election can
didates on Aug. 81 this year, mainly
because of a ruling made just prior to
the last primary election by Judge
Niece. 8 -
held that accordingly Aug. 26 was the
last day for filing. A man named Nc
Cormick came in Aug. 81 and wanted to
file for the democratic nomination as
alderman in the. eighth ward. [ re-
fused to permit him to do So, He took
the case to Judge MCGEE, and the court
name on the primary election ballot.
So, following the precedent set by this
ruling, and also the opinion of the at
torney general, for this primary cleo
ton, I ruled that Aug. 81 was the last
| day for filing, instead of Aug. 30.'
