esti re:ioien1o cartas de los agri-
cultOres natives de diferentes
parties del territorio, pidiendo in
formation de la 'chinche de la
calabaza." Para que los infor-
mes acerca de este insecto sean
de mas utilidad q muchos de
nuestros agricultores y hortela-
nos, ell siguiente boletin Sc ha es-
critic.
Ell insecto que generalmente Sc
llama la "chinche de la calabaza"
es uno de los mas perjudiciales a
la calabaza. Esta chinche ataca
a muchas otras de las plantas de
la familia 'Cucurbitaceae, como
las sandillas, melones, y pipinos.
Este insecto es de color pardo-
puerco y tiene como LA Sd de
pulgada de largo. Vuela prom
tamente cuando uno mueve las
plantas, pero tiene debiles pier
mas y pies, Y por raz6n de este es
NAL corredor. Tambien tiene el
nombre de "chinche hediondo"
porque da un hedor muy ofensi-
vo. Cuondo uno maneja estos
ilsectos ell hedor no Sc quita aGn
h sta mucho tempo despues que
las manos Sc han lavado.
I'm la Etomologia esta chinche
sc lama Anasa tristis, y pertene-
c, al grupo de insectos chupa-
d res. Esta clase de insectos
cogen su alimento por medic de
c>rlar sus organos de boca, el
pic en- ell tejido de las plantas,
y chupan asi ell jugo de elias.
La chinche del a calabaza tiene
VI pico POGO mas que IA de pull
gada de largo y muy delgado.
CuAndo ell insecto esta comiendo
,erta el pico en- el tejido de la
c ilabaza y asi absorba ell jugo de
| planta y POGO a POGO Sc va
pJliendo la calabaza amarillo
hlsta que al fin Sc SEGA. Guam
do las chinches no estan comien-
d. Q cuando Sc uneven de una
pArte a otra doblan ell pico pos
teriormente abajo del t6rax.
Los insectos chupadores gene
ralmente SCI com0aJen con insec-
ticidas Q remedies que matan ell
insecto por contacto directo con
su cuerpo. FL petrolio, la emul-
sion de petr6lio, ell cocimiento de
tabaco, y las mezclas jabonosas
son unos de los insecticides que
Sc usan mas para esta clase de
ilsectos. La compostura de es-
tos insecticides varea a segun ell
remedio y ell insecto que Sc va a
cJmbatir. Sc considera que no
es necesario dar aqui las formu-
las de preparation para estos re-
medios porque, aunque estos in
S .cticidas son efectivas para mu-
en- IS de los insectos chupadores,
1t cninche los resiste sin recibir
ningun perjuicio.
Estos remedies no Sc pueden
aplicar cuando estan muy fuer-
ties porque queman a la planta,
espet lalmente cuando la planta
esta creciendo vigorosamente y
la vegetation esta jugosa y tier
ma. La chinche tiene un cuerpo
algo duro y calloso, y para que
la solucion 10 penetre Sc necesita
hAcerse algo fuerte. 81 estos re-
medios Sc hacen de sufciente
fuerza para matar a la chinche,
tambi6n la planta Sc SEGA y por
ESQ la aplicaci6n de estos insec-
ticidas no es practica para la

Never before has a primary election
Cor the nomination of Democratic
officers in the State been fraught with
as much keen interest as was exhib-

fight between brother Democrats and
was free from all bitter feeling which
usually permeates an election be-
tween different political parties.
Upon Gen. Jastremski finding he
was defeated for the democratic nom-

his support as loyal Democrat, to
which Judge Blanchard replied,

Duel on PubIlO Highway
John 7. nude Using a Winchester
Rifle and j. F. Moore Using
a Shot Gun.
NO BLOOD SPILLED IN AFFRAY.

A duel with a 3S-calibre Winchester
rife and 1O-eauge shot gun took
place between John T. Hyde and J..
+. Moore, both OF Tide, on the Alex
andria and Winfield public road, be-
tween Tide and Prairie Home, Tues
day afternoon, in which Moore fred
three loads of buckshot from his gun
at Hyde, who returned the fire with
a Winchester rife five or six times.
Moore was protected by a tree. while
Hyde was in the open. Hyde had
dismounted and was standing beside
his horse when a load OF buckshot
struck the horse in the neck killing
him instantly. The shooting was
done at distance of about fifty
yards.
The day before the shooting Hyde
had been to Winfield and was re-
turning home with n load of plows
when he was accosted by Moore, who
was armed with shot gun. He
began cursing Hyde, and Hyde not
being armed, told him he would take
his abuse, and made no resentment.
Moore finally let HIM continue his
journey home. Later Hyde went to
Winfield and made an affidavit
against Moore for insult and abuse
and threatening to kill, and was re-
turning from Winfield when Moore
again waylaid him and opened fire,
which was returned by Hyde with
the result above stated.
These facts were given us by Mr..
Hyde himself, who has been in Col
fax for the past two or three days,
and he says they will be ecorroborated
by several friends who were with him
when the shooting occurred. Mr..
Hyde says he and Moore have not
been on the friendliest terms possible,
but can't account for his action in
this instance further thnn that they
were at outs.
Deputy Sheriff M. NJ. Dickerson
came down from Winfield on Thurs
day and Mr.. Hyde went back with
him to furnish bond, he having sent
the deputy word that he could be
found in Colfax whenever he was
wanted.
