THE SAN JOSE SCALE
EXPERIMENTS SHOW RESULTS
OF INSECTICIDES.
The "California Wash" and the "Ore-
gon Wash" compared-Both Prove
Highly Effective-A Cheap and
Trustworthy Solution.

The state entomologist of Illinois,
DR.. S. A. Forbes, has published, as
Bulletins II and 70, of the Ilino
Experiment Station, important papers
on Experiments with insecticides for
the San Jose Scale" These articles
contain report of the results of a
series of careful field experiments
made with a solution of lime, sulphur
and salt, commonly known as the
California wash" and a similar solu
ton of lime, sulphur and blue vitriol,
the so-called Oregon wash" These
experiments were made near Sum
merfield, Madison county, Illinois,
during the latter part of March, 1909
on peach, and apple-trees infested by
the San Jose scale. AS it has been
commonly reported that the efficiency
of these insecticides is destroyed by
rains, trees sprayed with them were
subsequently thoroughly wet several
times with water at the rate of fifteen
to thirty gallons per tree each time,
other trees being left as checks with
out water treatment. The operation
was so conducted as to test the effect
of rains and TO compare the values Of
the two washes under all the condf
lions represented in the experiment.
Bulletin II gives the results as they
appeared March 25, three weeks aftes
the experiment began, and Bulletin
70. sequel to the above, brings tha
report down to May -, when a final
examination of the condition of the
experimental trees was made.
Ac
the washes were about equal in eff
ficiency, the California wash acting
little more slowly than the Oregon
wash, and being little more suscepti-
BILE to a retardation of its action by
rain. Both proved, however, to be
practically complete insecticides, ex-
tremely few scales remaining alive on
the twelfth of May, nine weeks after
the trees were sprayed. From careful
examination of many thousand
scales, it appears that more than 80
per cent of those alive at the begin
ming OF the experiment were dead at
the end of this period.
In the second of these bulletins
comparison is made between the eff
fects of these washes and that of the
ordinary solution of whale oil soap,
two pounds to the gallon of water
All are highly effective insecticides,
but the number of scales per thousand
still living nine weeks after treatment
on trees sprayed with whale oil soap,
was something mora than twice as
great as those on those treated with
the lime and sulphur washes.
In cost the latter have great ad-
vantage over most Insecticides hith-
erto used for the San Jose scale. In
these experiments the materials for
the washes cost SLIP per hundred gal
Ions and for the whale oil soap solu-
ton. $3.50 for the same quantity.

JUDGE PARKER'S VANISHING HOPES,

AS the campaign for the democratic
presidential nomination progresses 1t
is daily becoming more apparent to
observing people that Judge Parker
will not be the nominee of the St.
Louis convention.
When New York instructed for
Parker the managers OF the judges
campaign gave out the information
that the question was settlcd-that no
other candidate stood a show after
that state had spoken.
But, 10 aud behold! OF the many
states which have acted since that
time only three have instructed for
the New York judge, viz: Connecti-
cut, Indiana and Tennessee.
Last week five states chose dele
gates, and only one, Tennessee, in
structei for Parker. Arizona gave
its delegates to Hearst, Maryland is
for German, Ohio is for Harmon and
Alabama failed to instruct. A signi6-
cant fact regarding Alabama is that
Major W. W. Screws of the Montgom'
ery Advertiser, who led the Parker
forces in that state, suffered decisive
defeat for place on the delegation.
AS indicative OF the changed conf
dence of the Parker faction another
Significant fact is the utterance of Sen
ator Simmons of North Carolina, a
Parker leader. zone month ago, "
said Senator Simmons, ''the state
would have instructed for Parker.
The conditions, however, are chang
ing. and the sentiment in the state
seems to be for an uninstructed dele
CATION. This has always been North
Cardinals attitude, and there is nj
reason why the state should depart
from it's old course"
Thus does the Parker boom wane.

A POLITICAL Renaissance.

A little item in the Savannah Press
has caused the spectacle OF we'll
known south Georgian running for
congress on one leg and the United
States senate on the other a few years
AGO to be recalled. In recent issue
the Press said:
SIT may be case of Hon. Henry 9.
Turner VS.. Hon. James NJ. Griggs for
delegate at large to St. Louis.
The Albany Herald, which knows
something about politicians and politi-
cal history the past few years, throws
down the gauntlet to the Press ana
Mr. Turner in this fashion:
mot very likely. The contingent
that is now trying to pull Mr.. Turner
into this race is the same that put the
badge of Clevelandism on him ana lea
hin, 10 slaughter in race FOR the
Halted States senate once upon time
rot 50 loug ago but what the south
g2so~rSs statesman proba bly, has feel

an right. but it is not likely that he
vii lst Hoke Smith ct al make cats
paw Of him again by showing him into
the desperate race that they are now
seeking TO put some man into TO beat
Jim Griggs."
Our Albany contemporary has stated
the situation as to MIR. Turner exactly
as it is. But the double barrel office
seeker, who for the past several years
has been mentioned for every office in
the gift of the people and elected to
none, and his little coterie OF ollnd
followers will not appreciate it.

THAT PARK PROPOSITION.

The arrival of summer time makes
forciblv felt a need which The News
has long maintained should be met In
Dawson. That need is public park.
For several years much space has
been devoted in these columns to this
question. 1t has been Put forward
earnestly and sincerely by The News,
because it knows that the proposition
is one in which almost every citizen Ia
Dawson is interested and wants 10 see
it settled satisfactorily.
TO sum up the matter, park Is :
public utility-more than that s p2e
lie necessity. The people of Dawson,
as q whole, are exceedingly anxious
for it. They feel, as the furnishers OF
the clty's revenue, that they are en-
titled to it.
The question is squarely up to the
city council. Will you, gentlemen OF
this body, authorize by the proper
steps for the blishment and mainte-
nance of this public benefaction? Such
action means for you the almost unan-
Imous approval and commentator OF
those who cast and will cast their
votes for you. Give US the park.

CUT STRANGE CAPERS.

The Atlanta Journal has uninten'
tionally paid fine tribute to the prom
inence and influence of Hon. o. b.
Stevens in Georgia politics. A few
days ago Mr.. Stevens took occasion to
saw that he believed it would be best
for the Georgia democracy to send an
uninstructed delegation to the st.
Louis conventions and the Atlanta pa
per forthwith rushed one of its double
column, slugged editorials upon an un-
offending and helpless public in an at
tempt to discredit that gentleman's
motives.
If the Atlanta Journal and a few
self.appointed high muckamucks who
have been conspicuous as party dis
senters and chronic soreheads the
past few years really believe there are
only two men of any moment in Geor-
ia-Congressman Grlggs and Mr..
Stevens-who are for Hearst, it is
passing strange that it is necessary TO
beat the tom-toms and sound the hew'
gag so furiously in order to keep him
from capturing the delegation OF this
state

For Silence always brings me peace.

Our sweet communication there.
How still the shadows of the night,
How calm the glory of the stars
That shine serene and clear and bright
Like headlights on celestial cars!

A chap who holds his kind bore.
All, no; am a modest youth,
And Silence is the girl next door.

RECKLESS EXTRAVAGANCE.

The New York Tribune, in a defense
of the riotous extravaganza of con-
gress, says:
We are committed to policies
involving expenditures undream-
ed of under Cleveland and Harri-
son.
For once the Tribune is correct,
says the Marietta Journal. During
the administrations of Cleveland and
Harrison, continues our contemporary,
we entertained no thought OF swagger-
ing around among the "world powers"
and entering upon an uD-Americau
policy of colonialism calling for the
maintenance of extravaganza carpet
bag government on the other side of
the globe. Fifteen years ago we had
no thought of expanding millions upon
needless battleships and big armies
for the mere purpose of being able to
pose as bully and braggart among
the nations. A great many things are
happening in these DAYS that were not
dreamed of by the men who founded
this government upon what they
thought would be equality, justice,
liberty and right. The Tribune may
have unintentionally voiced this great
truth about ''undreamed expendi-
lures" But they are here, and the
dreams are rapidly degenerating into
nightmares of oppressive taxation.

DISGUSTING SYC0PHANCY.

how, when Miss Alice Roosevelt WIS.,
tied the St. Louis fair the other day,
a crowd of 5000 persons, large per-
centage of whom were women, jostled
and crowded each other in an almost
dangerous manner in order to get a
a glimpse of the young lazy. Two po-
Iicemen who were guarding Miss
Roosevelt had great difficulty in pro-
recting her from the crush.
IT is hard to understand why reason
able human beings should throw &C.
static fits at the sight of woman
whose father happens to hold high
official position, but it is nevertheless
true that they will. The sYcophantic
tendency of the American people is to
be deplored.

PROGRESSIVE HUSBANDS"

The Savannah Press says a witty
woman calls the continuous divorce
performance that disgraces this coun-
try the "game of progressive hus-
bands" American women, she insln-
yates, have found the game so enchant-
ing that it overtops progressive euchre
as popular fad. The disease has Sc
cured such a firm hold that she de-
spairs of it's tentacles ever being shak-
en- off In this, though, she may be
mistaken, says the Press. The public
conscience is being so thoroughly
aroused, says our contemporary, that
all churches are drawing together for
a united stand against the evil, and
eventually national law will proba'
bly, supplant the numerous DIVORCE
laws that now make up the legislation
of the states on the subject.
It is estimated that more than five
hundred thousand divorces have been
granted in the United States in the
last twenty years, during which time
in all Europe less than half that num-
Der have been granted. In probably
all of the states except South Carolina
divorces are comparatively easy.
