EDITOR OF INTELLIGENCGH,
Danyi lie, PA
Dear Sir -
notice in II rec, mt issue of your
paper an account OF an interview
with me. in which | am reported as
having said, that if a farmer refused
to clean up the pests on his trees,
the Department of Agriculture will
do it, and add the cost TO his tax bill,
or may chop down the orcha'd and
burn it. | never made any such
statement, and regret that this has
been reported because it is causing
distrust among farmers and they are
unwilling TO accept as they Shou Il,
the help which this Office is trying TO
give them. Some are opposing in
spectors who go to their premises to
help them with view 10 determine
what insects are infesti, = their trees,
and what pests are present. This is
for the good of their orchards, and il
is to their interest to receive the help
which we are extending TO them.
However, when they have a wrong
impression that we are going to force
them TO treat their trees. they Will
not accept the services which we
offer. |, therefore, write to ask you
you will kindly make the correc.
tion, and say, that this Department
does not contemplate forcing any
man to treat his trees from the find
ings OF our Inspectors. Ike L." pro-
vdes that if any man notify lis il
writing OF premises infested with
Deparl ment of Agriculture must send
an eXI crt to see what is wrong and
prescribe method of treatment, am
these must be followed. This is en-
tircl, distinct from the orchard in
spectinn which the Division of Zoolo
gy is now making in all parts of this
State.
Thanking you for publishing this
statement and thus aiding the im
portani work we are trying 10 do, !
am Very truly yours,

Superior court, for a two weeks
term, convened in this city Monday
with Judge Moore presiding and So
licitor Jones at his post.
His honOr's charge to the grand
jury was full and .forceful, empha-
sizing the~most current of criminal
violations OF law and pointing the
grand jurors duty so explicitly that
he cannot mistake it.
His honor's remarks upon the pub
lie roads were timely and it is earn
estly TO be hoped that the grand jury
will be particularly active in this
regard.
The following constitute the grand
jury:
Messrs. R. W. Woodland, foreman

An EVentful Life.

One of the most eventful lives of
any man ever raised in Wayne coun-
ty was that Of the late Governor Cur
It's H. Brogden. His parents We're
very poor, and he never attended
school perhaps 4 year in his life,
but began to work on the farm as
soon as he was large enough to mind
the gap. Notwithstanding all these
disadvantages, this poor boy before
| the civil war, was State Auditor for
many years, and many times repre-
scented Wayne county in the Legis-
| lature, was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
| afterwards Governor of North Caro-
lima and q member of Congress.
While a member of Congress, il
Washington, Gov. Brogden bought
a splendid gold watch and chain, he
was then an Old man, and We have
heard this was the only watch Ia
ever owned. Tomorrow atone o'clocl
at the court house door, MI. w. h
HoIlowell, the administrator of Gov
Brogden, will sell the watch AM
} chain, and a large lot of old book
belonging to the estate.

CLEANING-UP TIME.

The physical condition of Colds
boro at this time is far from what it
should be, and with the heated sea-
son coming on apace the health of
the community is menanced and the
remedy should be promptly applied
at whatever cost.
The streets everywhere are in an
unsightly and most unwholesome
condition and the alleys and back
lots of the business portion of the
town T a positive nuisance, and
with every furry of wind great
quantities of scrap paper and litter
are sent scurrying out into and along
the streets, and into the front yards
of residential abodes, until the whole
town seems neglected, SO faras physis
| cal care is concerned.
Will not our city authorities take
this matter up without further de-
lay or reiterated complaint from the
ARGUS, whose hundred eyes keep
watch for the peoples veal, and yet
whose city pride carries us to the di-
rest extreme before we make public
complaint?
Then, too, within a few days-May
lst.-the State Federation Of Wo.
, mans Clubs will hold their annual
session in this city-which has been
heralded to them as the Best Town
in the State, and so it is; its physical
present unsightliness to the contrary
notwithstanding, and it is up to-oul
City Fathers to apply the remedy
speedily.

In theory, municipal ownership is

Population of Iowa Is Greatly Affect
ed by Falling Off in Rural Dis
tricts-High Price of Land
Drives Away Settlers.

Russell Woodland, Staff Correspondent
Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 25. = Later fig
ures on the state census reveal the fact
that instead OF loss in population of
over 10000, the actual decrease amounts
to but % 661 persons in the past five
years. The correct total population is
2.2O9,192. Livery ten years the govern
ment makes an enumeration, and the
same is true of the Iowa authorities,
each census alternating with the other.
The government enumeration was
made in 1899 and the state count in 1905.
With but few exceptions all the larger
cities OF the state show an increase and
this is true of 90 of the SO counties. but
the loss is so great in the remaining
n that the sum total shows substan-
tial decrease. The rural districts suf
fered most and right there census Off
Gals believe they have unearthed the
cause for the decrease. Iowa farms
have become enlarged ard higher prices
are charged Per acre, hence Immigrants
move to places where land is cheaper.
The high price of land as cause for the
decrease of population was elucidated
upon by your correspondent recently,
| and the remarks upon the subject have
been proven true by the words of the
| census authorities. Following is COM
parative statement of the census of 1900

Poultry is falling into line with corn

of the rapidity OF its growth in the past

to provide an adequate department IN
connection with the State Agricultural
society to look to its betterment. In
fact poultry industry OF the state Of
Iowa is something enormous. The in
