Maple Bark Louise.

We wish at this time 10 call the
attention of our readers TO the cottony
scale OF the maple. known also as the
maple bark louise" we have no
ticed that this insect has been doing
much damage In Illinois for several
years and that In the main people let
The pest alone till II Is too late 10 take
effective measures against IL. This Is
one OF the easiest insects to fight IL
taken In time, because its rate OF
spread from tree to tree is very slow,
due to the fact that the males. only,
have wings and can fly. The females
have to be carried on the feet OF birds
or be blown by the wind from one tree
10 another and there are but few days
In the year when even this can occur.
After the female becomes fixed In
position with beak inserted in the
tree she cannot move about. The
problem is simply to know the bark
louise when IL is seen and take pre-
cautions TO pick on the little balls OF
cotton as soon as they appear on
tree. Usually only a very few appear
on one tree during one season. and IL
these are removed the insects cannot
spread. II is the neglect OF this that
causes trouble. Each female lays per
haps 1000 eggs. and the next year
these hatch out about 1000 females.
and in this way Il takes but few
years TO cover tree so thoroughly
that there is no saving Il.

thrives. Here. too, the battle against

and result in their destruction through
their inability TO get back.
After several mouths we have the
male insects with wings and the fe-
males without wings. The males die
late in the summer and the females
live over winter. The egg laying be-
gins about the middle OF May and
continues till some time in July. After
the egglaying period is completed the
female dies. leaving the eggs covered
with the cottony mass that is 10 pro.
tect them I'm next spring. These
masses are so obvious that It Is not
difficult TO discover them. when Of
course they should be removed. The

Gently tried in the district court here,
We're placed on file dn the office or the

the majority of the cases are In direct
conforlmance with the decisions rem
dered here.
AS a result of the arrangement oil
the case of Wolfinger vs. the city oil
Fort Dodge, and Reilly VS., Fort Dodge
the court has thrown out the assess
ments .on these two cases entirely. The
grounds for the reconsideration of the
decision and the rempdeling of the
findings are based on the fact that the
assessments in these two cases were
made in lump, while each property
consisted of two square lots. This
phase of the matter was brought to
the attention of the judge by Attorney
OConnor for the plaintiffs.
The effect of this decision is to throw
out entirely the assessments against
these two property owners. The city
has the power to reduce them, accord
ing to law, which prescribes that each
property shall he assessed separately
1t, however, affords the property
owners relief from the penalties that
would have otherwise accrued as a re-
suit Of the nonpayment of the assess
nlents during the litigation. The de-
cision is a most important one, and
will have a bearing on similar cases
that NAV arise.
