THOSE BLACK AND RED WORMS.
Former Brattleboro Man Tells His Method OF
DISCRIMINATING Them.

Editor Of Reformer:
While reading the Rutland Daily Herald
few days ago noticed an item in regard to
the black worm with red spots which had
appeared in Brattleboro and was destroying
some of the elm trees. ! beg to say ] have
had some experience with these worms ana
find them very destructive In experiment
ing as to the best way to get rid OF them
found spray of gasolene was the quick
est and surest way to exterminate every
worm. 1t kills instantly every one II
touches and the gases kill those within
short distance.
Great care must be taken to see that no
lighted match Is near the operator as the
gas will ignite for several minutes after tne
easolene is used II evaporates so quickly
that it does not njure the trees. Possibly
it might be used in water but ! used II
clear. Death was instantaneous to every
worm on the branch. II this is OF any ser
vice please accept it with best regards, from

dishonest in this country than to be honest. The most serious phase of the whole matter was put by one member of the commission when he said: "The sad part of it to me is not that the shippers are cheating the railroads in freight or that the rail- roads are cheating the government in rebates, but that the moral sense of the business community is so low that cheap robbery of this sort is winked at and merchants habitually under-bill goods knowing if they do not make their little profit this way that their rivals will and thus under sell them. It is serious matter when the moral sense of any people is blunted enough to make this sort of thing looked on as matter of course and the only way to success fully conduct business" That is the serious part of it. Common hon. esty and business honesty seem to have parted company. Decidedly this country needs an honesty reviv- al in business circles.
