liam II. Andrews is elected by ma
jority probably exceeding 5000 on
a conservative estimate as delegate
to the fifty-ninth congress. The re-
publican nominee has gained an un-
precedented victory over both dem
ocrats and the so-caIled independents
OF the territory Notwithstanding the
perfidy of the HubbelIs in Bernalillo
where the party was sold out after
continued promises to Andrews. Re-
turns received at headquarters last
night and this morning give the fol-
towing figures: CoIfax 600, Socorro

Sandoval 1000. Rio Arriba, San Mi

can majority but all precincts have
not yet been heard from. The Pecos
valley failed to poll as heavy demo
cratic vote as was anticipated which
will materially increase the he'majority Of
Andrewa Moneys main increased
vote comes from BernaIiIIo county
having been rendered by former re-

web but for some reason was not salts
fed and then crawled to the blossom
end but not being pleased with the
situation, crawled to the stem end,
then out the stem nearly to the limb
and then back and finally returned
to the spot of poison, finished it's
web and entered the apple at the
side of the spot and was soon buried
out of sight but was not poisoned
The time from it's Matching to it's
entering the apple was an hour and
three-quarters. Two days after the
worm was found dead in the apple.
After entering the apple it came back
and enlarged the opening, got grain
of the poison and climbed the golden
stairs. Such patient toll as that shown
in the watching of this insect by Prof.
Clarke is the foundation of all our sue
cessful work in combating this most
damaging of all insect pests.

that we must take things as they are
and plan accordingly. Now many fruit
growers will not successful combat the
many pests that beset us. So If we
have clean fruit we will get better
prices and in this way be benefited
by what proves to be their ruin.
The lesson l would impart from the
subject matter of this paper is this:
Some will be so discouraged that they
will give up, others will produce much
unstable fruit but if we make an in
telligent study of the matter and fight
all pests with determination we will
in most cases make success of fruit
growing and will be able to realize that
there is a beneficial side to the pest
question"

Beneficial Side of Pest Question.

Beneficial Side of Pest Question.
Read by F. Walden at the meeting
of the Northwest Fruitgrowers' Asso-
citation in Portland, Oregon, JAM Ii,
1904:
The use of the word beneficial" in
considering pests may awaken some
surprise. Are not pests evil and only
evil continually? That depends.
shall not contend that a pest is bene-
fetal per Sc, but many kinds of evil
may indirectly minister to our good
In meeting the difficulties and tempta-
lions of life we may be made stronger
morally, mentally and physically. With
any other view of life it would be diff
cult to account for that saying OF
James, the apostle. "My brethren,
count it all joy when you fall into
divers temptations" That temptations
here means trials is evident from what
follows-"knowing this, that the try
ing of your faith worketh patience"
Now trials may be undesirable and
grievious to be borne, but ii they In
crease our stock of patience we are
most certainly benefited. In the same
way we can account for the saying OF
the apostle Paul: "But we glory in
tribulations also" 1t is well known
that our English word 'tribulation" is
derived from the Latin tribulum, which
means that part of the fail that thresh-
ed out the grain and separated it from
the chaff. A goodly number OF us at
best need some of that kind OF Hagel-
lation at times. The chastisement we
received from our parents may often
have seemed grievous but afterwards
yielded the peaceable fruits OF right
eousness. In like manner the strug-
giles of the student in burning the mid
night oil, resulting Oftimes in head
ache and sometimes the backache,
gives that intellectual strength and
mental discipline that constitute the
real elements of education. Likewise
the outdoor work and the hard knocks
of the boy brought up on the farm
give him a physical development that
is a rich heritage for his whole life.
How wildly come to my mind some
things witnessed in my college days.
Large, strong and uncouth boys from
the farm would make their appearance
in the college halls and be laughed
at by some of the thin, pale-look1ng,
spindle-shanked boys from the city
But wait a few years, and then we
would see the big, uncouth country
boy, slicked up somewhat in his out
ward appearance, forging ahead at
rate absolutely unattainable by the
city weakling then was verified
the old saying that she laughs best
who laughs last" Ninety per cent. OF
all the men who reach eminence are
made strong by toll of some kind in
their boyhood and gain strength by
overcoming difficulties in the way.
With this survey of the field before
as it need not be matter of surprise
that it is claimed there is beneficial
side to the pest question. The word
"pest" is here used to denote "that
which is very noxious, mischievous, or
destructive" Pests may belong to the
animal, vegetable or mineral kingdom.
The horticulturist has mainly to con-
tend with vegetable and animal pests

I've as a Scale Destroyer.


A correspondent at North Yakima
sent the following letter to Prof. c..
v. Piper, formerly of the agricultural
college, but now with the department
of agriculture at Washington, d. c.:
II would like your opinion on the
effectiveness of caustic soda as wash
for San Jose scale. l saw an article
by a man in California, in which he
says he uses one pound caustic soda
Cts per cent? to six gallons of water,
and claims that it is better than the
lime, sulphur and salt wash. I used
your formula of one pound of lime to
same of sulphur, without salt, and
found it was all right. But if the
soda is all right it will save great
deal of trouble"
To this inquiry Prof. Piper replies
as follows:
"Lye has been advocated a number
of times as an insecticide for the San
Jose scale, both as a simple wash, and
as an ingredient of the sulphur-lime
wash. To test it's value we carried out
the following experiments two years
ago in a Snake River orchard:
March 20 a small peach tree just
beginning to bloom was sprayed as fol-
lows, using Rabbits I've: One branch
was sprayed with pound I've to gal
Ion water; branches with 1 pound I've
to gallons water and one branch with
1 pound lye to gallons water. All of
these sprays caused dark purple spots
on the bark, the color extending in
nearly to the wood. The same effect
was caused on adjoining trees where
drops of the spray was blown, the
spots appearing in few minutes af-
ter contact On April 13 the tree was
carefully examined. The branch
sprayed with the pound to 1 gallon
solution was badly injured, all the buds
being dead; the two branches sprayed
with the 1 pound to 2 gallons were
somewhat injured The scales were
apparently dead. The branch sprayed
with the 1 pound to 3 gallon solution
seemed uninJured. The scales were
apparently dead
"On all the branches the bark was
deeply bronzed by the I've. On May
9 the tree was again examined. The
branch sprayed with the strongest solu-
ton was nearly dead. The scales were
likewise all dead, some, perhaps, due
to the death of the branch. The
branches sprayed with the l pound to
2. gallons solution were badly injured
About 10 per cent of the scales were
found to be alive. The branch sprayed
with the 1 pound to 3 gallons solu-
ton was apparently uninjured. 1t was
estimated that 80 per cent of the scales
were alive. October a final examina-
ton of the tree was made. All the
sprayed branches were dead but one,
and that was alive only at the base
On all, the bark had cracked longitu-
dinally as a result of the injury.
"This experiment seems to show con-
clusively that I've is not very effect
i've insecticide for the San Jose scale
and that it does injure peach trees
seriously.
"Inasmuch as potash I've, where add
ed to the sulphur-lime mixture, forms
commercial potassium sulphide, which
is mixture of several potassium-sul-
phur compounds, an apple tree just
beginning to leaf out was sprayed with
this substance to determine its insect
icidal value. One pound OF commercial

THE PERRY FUND.
Marquis Ito Contributes Seven
Hundred and Fifty Dollars to 1t.

Toxic, April 20, $3.50 p. m..-Marquis
Ito today contributed the sum OF $3.50
to the Perry memorial relief fund. In
a letter accompanying the contribution
the marquis said:
Permit me TO express my warmest
sympathy In this work, which will not
only perpetuate the name of your great
commodore, who is already revered and
beloved here, but will also carry home
60 every one Of u.s. even the poorest OF
our families, the traditional friendly
feeling Of Americans toward our coun-
trymen.
This enterprise, to a certain extent,
Is Interpreted as an endeayor on the
part Of those who first introduced US to
western ideals to lead us farther to-
ward universal community, and hui
manitarian principles. Before these
national frontiers should vanish and
they will vanish.
II sincerely hope that this work will
be crowned with unprecedented sue
cess"
The Perry Memorial Relief fund was
organized In Toxic on March 81, upon
the occasion Of the 50th anniversary Of
the signing OF the Perry treaty by ia
pan and the United States. The purpose
OF the fund is to bring aid to the des-
titute families OF japanese soldiers and
sailors. A number OF prominent Jap
anese and Americans subscribed 10 the

ganized.
