TO FIGHT CORN DESTROYERs.
DR.. Forbes Gives nlin0is Farmers Nemedies
for the Aphis and Brown Ant.

OFUo0 UlVCB EHtno1U kS0tu0Olc0
for the Aphis and Brown Ant.
In his summer course Of lectures at the
University Of Illinois, DR.. Stephen A. Forbes,
State entomologist and professor Of geol-
ogy. has outlined . plan by which the
farmers Of that State may stop tho ravages
OF the corn root aphis, which. with Its COM
panion, the brown ant, has been making
serious inroads upon the crops Of the State.
The aphis one Of the many species Of
plant louise, seems to be growing yearly
more destructive and Is threatening the
corn crop in many States. Whore this
insect abounds crops are sometimes In
jured 80 per cent.
Until recently little was known about
the nature and habits Of this pest, but DR..
Forbes found that the aphis is helpless
to secure food without the services OF the
brown ant. The ant lives upon the juices
secreted by the aphis and In turn It secures
food for It's companion.
The ant digs tunnel to the root Of the
corn plant, carries the aphldes down the
passage and places them where they can
draw upon the plant. Tho only way to
get rid o. the pest u to exterminate the ants,
and this can best be done, the investigators
discovered, by disking the land three times
and narrowing 1t once In addition to the
usual treatment. Pulverizing the soil
twice or narrowing 1t once after q heavy
rain also reduces the ants by . large per-
centA9e.

Cook figured prominently in the testi.
mony taken before the bar committee
that is investigating the conduct Of
Lawyers Cole and Murphy in the ex.
action Of $225O from Gates under the
guise of being the wife's attorneys. He
gave some spicy testimony regarding

Local lawyers believe Mrs. Gates ac.

contempt of court and that "Swift.
water Bill" will in this way be alb.
solved from making Che handsome set.

court. BY the terms he agreed to settle

Jasper Jennings Has Not Made
Everything Clear.
MYSTERY NOT YET CLEARED UP
Stories Told by the Boy in Connection
with Murder of "0ld Man" Jennings
Are Not Borne Out by cireumstantial
Evidence Gathered by the Officers.

Grants Pass, Oct. 29.-A feature oi
the recent investigation made into the
Jennings murder mystery of Granite
Hill mining camp, to solve the question
of who murdered n. NJ. Jennings. the
aged wood contractor. is damaging 10
Jasper Jennings, son of the murdered
man. The boy has said that his sister
committed the crime. but il has been
found that the blood.stained tracks over
the floor Of the room in which the old
man was killed, and which led over the
doorstep and across the yard, were
tracks of a man. They could not have
been made by Dora Jennings, whom
Jasper says killed her father because
she hated him.
To account for the tracks the boy
declares his sister wore his shoes over
her own. that the blame for the crime
might be laid at Jasper's door. But
the girl denies all knowledge of this.
Jasper says his sister stole into the
'abn where he and companion slept
ate at night, stealing both his rifle and
MS shoes. But the door of the boys
'abin opens with difficulty, and its rusty
hinges screech loudly. 1t seems i'm.
probable that the door could have been |
opened without one or both Of the boys |
rearing it.
Interest in the case is growing, and
here is a change in the feeling Of the !
eneral public toward the girl. She
will say absolutely nothing concerning /
he crime. while the boy talks freely.
hough his confession tends toward
hitting the blame upon his sister.
