Wants Sea Level CanA.

Engineer Wallace, who was chic. .ei {
gineer of the Panama canal, thinks that
the present scheme of a lock canal
won't do. Mr.. Wallace is in favor of
sea level canal. but it would require
by that plan slOo. 600. 600 additional to
construct the canal, making the total
project to cost s2ss. 900. 900 instead Of
slss, ,OOO. 900 as per Engineer Reeds
and Admiral Walkers report. The
point of difference between Mr.. Wal
lace and the war department will be
will be found to consist in its diverg-
ence of opinion. If Mr.. Wallsce's sug-
gestions are adopted it will require
probably ten years additional to build
the canal and the time of construction
is now placed at about ten years from
date under the present plan. 1t is ~
mored that Engineer Wallace will re-
sign IN account of their difference of
opinion.

photograph of good house or barn or
big stacks of hay, 1t is desired to use
a number of these in illustrating a fine

vertising Delta county nothing speaks
so forcibly as a good picture made from

greater the prosperity, and Delta coun-

properly and thoroughly.

tiers from all parts of the country ask
ing about our lands, and we want your
assistance in getting out a creditable
book setting forth the attractions and
advantages of Delta county. If you

or have realized fine price from a GER
tain crop, let us know about it.

Open Revolt in Russia.

The Red flag of revolt has been raised
at Warsaw, Kovno and other places in
Russian Poland, out of sympathy with
the victims of the rioting at Lodz, and
SO far as these cities are concerned the
situation almost approaches an open
rebellion. The news received in st.
Petersburs is meager on account Of the
vigorous censorship, but it is evident
that the troops are being resisted and
a repetition of the sanguinary encoun-
ters at LODI is anticipated.
The victims of last weeks outbreak
total over 100. Thus far the bodies
of 343 Jews and 2lS christians have
been buried.
The Social Democrat party and the
Jewish band announce that the fight
against the government must continue,
but it is believed that with the present
show of military force the situation
will be controlled.
Since the proclamation of martial
law the situation has become quieter.
The rumor Of an approaching massa-
ere of Jews has caused %, 900 Jews to
to leave LODI.
A case of disaffection among the
troops occurred June 26. when officers
of one regiment informed their COM
mander that they would refuse to fire

SUGAR BEET WORMS
Now Prevalent in Some Sections
Of Delta County.

During the two days past have been
visiting various ranches in the vicinity
of Delta and Cory with the County
Horticultural Inspector, Mr.. H. E.
Mathews, in response to complaints Of
insect injuries to potatoes, beets, peas
and other crops.
The large green worm with a sharp
horn or spine on the tail end of its
body and which is attacking potatoes,
and tomatoes chiefly, is what IL COM
monty known as the tomato worm"
or potato worm" or tobacco worm
in various portions Of the country where
these crops are grown. Another worm
very similar to this one. but darker and
more yellowish in color, is also doing
some injury to fruit trees.
Remember, where these worms are
not very numerous. they may be picked
by hand and destroyed or shipped with
shears. They are not in the least dan
gerous or poisonous TO people. They
never strike or wound any one with the
sharp horn they possess.
Where the worms are very numerous,
they should be poisoned with paris
green. arsenate of lead or arsente tf
lime. On potatoes or beets any Of the
above poisons may be used but upon
fruit trees would recommend arcenate
Of lead.
II applied As spray. use arscnate OF
lead, 4 or S pounds to 80 gallons OF
water: il paris green, one pound to SO
gallons with the addition Of one or two
pounds Of lump lime; Of arsinate Of lime.
use double the strength recommended
for ths ss6linE upeh.
The small green worm or measuring
worm that loops its body when it trav-
els and which is also attacking pota-
toes, cabbage, lettuce. beets and peas
in various places, may be poisoned as
above recommended for the large worm.
except that il will not do to poison the
lettuce and care must be used in case
Of full grown cabbages and peas. In
shelling the peas the seeds should not
come in contact with the outside of the
D xis that are covered with the poison.
The beet army worm was seen in
few fields. The young worms form
slight web over themselves and usually
b yin to cot near the center Of the
y ant on the young and tender leaves.
A close watch should be kept for these
and wherever abundant. use one of the
sprays recommended for the large pota-
TO worms.
We also found worm coting about
the crown and roots Of beets at or be-
meath the surface of the ground. The
worms are found by removing the dirt
from about the plants. This worm was
very bad in one field of alfalfa sod.
For this worm can suggest no remedy
but to avoid planting alfalfa SOD in 10
calties where serious injuries are sus-
fained this year.
The worms on lettuce, radishes and
cabbage may be killed by thoroughly
busting with Pyrethrum orinscct pow
der. This may be applied rs spray

poisonous to people. Aaxso sone wishing
