Kills Cottony Scale.

At last remedy has been found for
the cottony scale. The remedy has been
found efficacious in southern Califor-
nie, where it is said that it has saved
the trees of that entire portion of the
state. Charles A. Smith, prominent
| gruit grower and capitalist of Los An
geles, is visiting in the city. and he
brings with him the news that a bug
known as the Australian ladybug will
effectually kill the pest that is threat
ening to destroy Denyer shade trees.
This little bug" said Mr.. Smith,
resembles the ordinary ladybug. 1t
is about one-fourth of an inch in
length and one-eighth of an inch wide
1t is very active and it will kill this
cottony scale very rapidly. l have used
the bug on my own trees, which few
years ago were dying because of the
ravages of the scale.
THE best part about this method Of
getting rid of the cottony scale is that
the bug which we use in California to
get rid of the scale is not a pest itself
AS soon as it has finished its work OF
killing the scale it simply disappears,
and there is no more trouble about it.
You understand, this little bug is very
active and it eats into the heart OF the
scale and it never misses one of the
punches.
More than that. it breeds very rap
idly, and l believe thai if it were
brought here it would soon rid this city
of the scale. Something will have to
be done to save the trees here, and this
will certainly do it. l am sure that the
California state horticulturist would be
glad to send some of the bugs here to
Denver. In California the bugs got rid
of the scale in less than a season, and
we have never been bothered with it
since. Denver Republican.

Beet Crop Is Good.

'The statement that the beet sugar
farmers are dissatisfied and that our
plants are going to buy and operate
the farms for raising beets is certainly
news to me- said Charles Boettcher
of the American Beet Sugar Company
yesterday. Mr.. Boettcher had just re-
turned from a visit to the northern
fields.
There is simply nothing in it," he
continued. 1T is all talk of the wild
est and most untruthful sort, and | am
sorry that such story ever got start
ed. There is really no excuse for writ
ing such an article. We are doing all
possible to aid the sugar beet farmers
and in every way our relations with
them are the best possible, and we
have no thought of buying the farms
and going into the beet-raising busl-
ness ourselves. Beet crops are very
promising. Prospects are fine and we
are all well pleased. The storms de-
stroyed crops in some sections. but
the beets are practically untouched. =

THE FARM AND RANGE
Colorado Products at St. Louis.

Mrs Martha Shute of the State Hor-
ticultural Society is greatly elated over
the news from st. Louis of the great
success attending the horticultural ex-
hibit from Colorado in the competitive
contests.
Word has been received at the state
house that Colorado will have first
place over all states on her strawber-
ries, and that the judges have practi-
cally made the award. Missouri
seemed to be in the lead at the time
that state was graded, but Colorado
had not been heard from. Colorado,
as it happened. being the last state
showing.
Only recently. or in the latter part Of
the strawberry season, Mrs. Shute sent
20 the Fair eight crates of berries from
Joe Persons berry patch near Edge
water, close to Denver. the berries be-
ing of the Jucunda variety. Many OF
these berries were measured at the
state house and were nine inches in
circumference. and the whole shipment
averaged from four and half to five
inches, fourteen to sixteen to the
quart. On the day of their arrival at
the Fair there was banquet of horti-
culturists and they feasted upon the
y.
them to be the finest in size and flavor
that had been exhibited.
The Colorado exhibitors have been
as successful with some other kinds of
small fruits as with Strawberries. The
state has taken first prize with its
gooseberries. Some of the berries sent
from Otero county measured three
inches. A box sent by Mrs. Shute from
the bushes of Charles Bender averaged
from three and half to four inches.
The government inspectors at st.
Louis, according to Commissioner Will
son, say that Colorado is exhibiting
more varieties of commercial apples
than any other state. There are sixty
kinds. Judges say that Colorado ap-
pies are holding up better than any
others, keep better in cold storage and
are packed better than from any other
state except California. Colorado ex-
hibitors had 1900 boxes of apples in
cold storage. OF these, 900 had been
taken out and placed on the tables for
exhibition. Ordinarily apples ''scald"
when in cold storage, and this was the
case with apples from every other state
but Colorado, and the apples were kept
by the same packing concern. The
Colorado apples came out without
scalding in the least, and otherwise
perfect, attesting the superior quail
ties of the Colorado fruit.
The Horticultural Society has been
presented with new berry propagated
by Miss E. Snedaker, 1885 Sherman
avenue. 1t is the result of grating
the blackberry and the raspberry. The
result is long berry of the thimble
shape, dark red in color. 1t is not firm
enough to pack or keep any time. but
the iasr is very f1ne.-Denver News.

Russian Report Of Battle.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 2, 4:05 q. m.-
A report from an apparently reliable
source last night was to the effect that
General Kunopatkin's main force had
been rapidly moving north for several
days.
According to this report, no troops
proceeding to the front from Russia
had gone past Hardin in the past three
days. They will be detained there,
and every available piece OF rolling
stock will be rushed south empty for
the removing Of troops at Lila Yang
and other points to the northward,
leaving q skeleton force to contest the
Japanese advance on vital positions.
II 1t is true as pointed out In the
foregoing, 1t leaves the Russian forces
in an exceedingly serious position.
General Kuropatkin's reports OF yes
terday only carried the fighting up to
Sunday night, when the Russians had
been driven in from the left flank Of
the Simoucheng position. The Rus
SLAMS had repelled several attacks and
one bayonet charge. In which there
was a desperate hand-to-hand fight at
Kangwa heights. Elsewhere the Rus.
SLAMS are reported to be holding their
own.
There was the greatest hope Of fur,
