HOW no FIGHT PESTS.

The methods of combating insects in

the leading economic entomologists OF
the world, include: ~, direct warfare
against the insect itself, and CD. in
direct warfare by improving the con-
it to Withstand the attacks of its enc
mics.
Methods of direct warfare are in the
main two-fold, the actual destruction of
the insect pest by substances poisonous
to it; and, fighting it by means of its
natural enemies. Both methods have
been known to and are now advocated
by every economic entomologist in the
world. so that the charge of ignorance
laid against all who advocate combat
ing injurious insects by the use of
poisons, is, TO say the least, startling
If Prof. Perkins is correct in his views
and If as he seems to claim in his re-
port, absolutely the only correct method
of fighting injurious insects is to intro
duce, propagate, and loose upon them
hordes of parasites and predaceous foes,
then this information deserves the Wild

the large sums of public money now be-
ing devoted to this attempt at pest
control may be diverted to its proper
and only correct use.-the introduction,
propagation and distribution of para

remember that the farmers of the Uni

shape of losses caused by injurious in
sects than the whole cost of the public
school system, and in many States as

as to what constitutes economic en-

SO radical and so much beyond the &C

opportunity of expressing the position
of what might be called 1.-THE opposi

The science of economic entomolog,
in the modern acceptatfon of that tern
dates back but little more than hall
century. To DR.. VIM. T. Harris be-
longs the honor of being the first off,
cfal entomologist. DR.. Harris publish
ed in 1S41 Report on Insects In
furious to Vegetation" for which he
received from the State of Massa-
chusetts the princeIy sum of SIZE. This
report is one of the classics of en-
tomology and is as valuable today as
when it was first published.
In 1854 the State of New York set
apart the sum of $1,000 for the study
of insects injurious to vegetation, in
augurating a line of work which was
carried on for sixteen years by Dr.
Asa Fitch. In the same year, 1854, Mr..
Townsend Glover was appointed by the
Commissioner of Patents to collect
statistics relative to seeds, fruits and
insects in the United States under the
Division of Agriculture of the Patent
Office. His annual reports from that
date until 1858 dealt largely with TIN
insects injurious to wheat, cotton,
pIums. apples, the orange and the
grape. From the foundation of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture in 1862 up to the present time. the
study of economic entomology, that is,
the science of the relation of insects,
injurious and beneficial, to cultivated
plants, man and domestic animals, has
been carried forward unremittingly, un
til now economic entomology is recog-
nized as one of the most important OF
he agricultural sciences. Where forty
vears ago there were only isolated
workers there are today more than two
hundred entomologists employed by the
National and State Governments, ac-
lively engaged in the study of insec-
ife, chiefly in relation to the farmer
md his crops.
This remarkable increase in the num-
'er of State-employed workers indi-
ates the measure of development that
as taken place. The Division of En-
omoIogy of the q. S. Department of
.griculture at Washington has achiev-
d worldwide reputation because of the
cientific Investigations of insect life
arried on by its staff, and also. and
hiefiy. because of the practical econom-
results attained. This department
recognized as standing at the head in
ne honored profession of applied en-
,mology. /

Intervening between 1t and the rail-

Passing over this stream one begins
to ascend very steep hill that seems

Give EN- the Laugh.

When your spirits are down
And the world seems to frown
And clouds hide the blue of your skies.
When the care-load you pack
Puts the curve in your back
And tears seek to scape from your eyes.
Don't you worry, my son,
You can capture the bun,
There's grain hid away in the chair;
Don't you weaken, Butt in
With the vow that you'll win
And give the blue devils the laugh.
Though the clouds cloak the air
The old sun Is still there
Doing business right at the old stand,
And the vapory mass
From its brightness will pass
And reveal all its glories so grand.
Tighten up on your grip,
Keep a stiff upper lip.
Zen though bitter the cup you must
quaff.
Keep your courage aflame
And you'll win in the game
And give the blue devils the laugh.
Snap your fingers at care,
HaN the courage to dare,
For the half of life's woes are but sham
Keep your banner unfurled
Make a noise in the world;
YSot your own horn If you don't sell a
clam.
All your energies pin
To your work, and you'll win,
You'll the wine of prosperity guam.
And can bask i'm the sun
When the battle is won
And give the blue devils the laugh.

Strikes and lockouts were costly to
the men who took that means to force
their employers during the last year,
according to the report of the New
York state board of mediation and ar
hitration. The number of strikes and
lockouts during the last year exceed
ed those of 1902 by so, there being
1872 in 1908. The strike in the build.
ing trades and of the eXcavators and
rockmen of the city caused more lost
time than all of the l42 labor disputes
of the previous year. AS a result OF
labor troubles of 1902 573,2S5 days
we're lost. The report admits that
strikes for recognition of union were
as a whole unsuccessful, and says the
demand for recognition of the walk
ing delegate in this city, which was
lost. was the cause of the labor
unions losing recognition of the union
demand. The report deals at great
length with the strike in the building
trades in this city. OF thirty large
disputes in the state twenty were In
New York city. Outside the general
building dispute in the city, 1891
work people were directly concerned
in this years disputes, and they
lost in the struggle over 2,OOO,OOO
DAYS work. Besides these there were
at least 1000 others who, though not
participants, were thrown out of work
and lost more than 100000 days time.
If to these be added the 25,S34 who
were directly and the 114S who were
indirectly involved in the Metropoli-
tan dispute, with the loss of over
LOO, 900 days aggregate, the figures
mount up to over $4,000 employees
concerned and 100000 work days
lost. The cost to the laboring man Is
