That foreign rice is losing its hold
upon the American market is evident
from the fact that the imports of 1905
are exceeded by those of 1904 by 26
per cent and by those of 1908 by 60
per cent.

In cases of extreme abundance, howev-
er, almost the entire main root except
the bark is eaten out, the substance be-
ing displaced by eXcreta, and the dead
top either becomes detached of itself
or is easily broken off if one attempts

Over the territory where red clover
is grown i'll this country the seed is
sown either during late winter or
spring. and during the first year the
roots Of the plants have not yet attain
ed sufficient size to accommodate the
insects; hence it is not till the sum
mer Of the second year that the roots
are destroyed.
The only preventive measure yet
tried that gives any promise Of success
is summer following as soon us the hay
crop il removed. At this time the
young are il an immature state and. if
deprived # food, must perish But if
the following be delayed even for a
few weeks the larvae will then have
for the most part passed into the pupal
stage, during which no food is required.

APlARY WORK.
The Rearing of Queens-FoOd In the
Spring Months.


Spring Months.
The rearing Of queen bees is the sub
jet Of a timely bulletin by Or. Z. T.
Phillips an expert apiculturist Of the
department Of agriculture The Oh
ject of The Bulletin is that successful
methods may be more widely known.
The aaihor disclaims credit for Origi-
nality in the methods described. but
states that all of them have been sue
cessfully tried by him None Of the
appliances mentioned and Illustrated
are patented, and any beekeeper is at
liberty 10 make them or any moiifica-
tons Of them that may seem good to
him. The question arises in the mind
Of every beekeeper viii it pay me to
rear my own qucenS:" 1t is true that
very good INFESTED queens can now be
bought for 81 or even less, but where
large apiary is to be requeened this
amount, though small for one colony,
becomes considerable when multiplied
by a few score DR. Phillips very in
forming bulletin Go. p, bureau of en-
tomOlogy) outlines a plan for rearing
queens in the home apidTy with the
minimum of labor and expense.
Bees Now Need Plenty of Food.
Let it be borne in mind that no sort
of neglect in regard TO supplying bees
with an abundance of food during Feb
ruary, March and April is admissible
for if the colony is to be profitable
when the honey season proper arrives
it must be strong in numbers. Last
year was one Of the poorest for hon
ey yield ever known in the history of
the country. 70 such an extent was
this the ease that most bees went into
winter quarters with an insufficient
amount Of stores to carry them through
the winter. to say nothing about the
spring months Kansas Farmer.

DELAYED BY RAIN
For Three Days No Progress
Was Made on Western
Pacific.
ROAD Is NOW 40 MILES
ON TOWARD COAST
Rain Was the Heaviest That
Ever Visited the Desert
Section.

The heavy rains Of the past week
have greatly interfered with progress
on the Western Pacific. For nearly
three days the working forces were
compelled to retire from the field while
Jupiter Pluvius held undisputed sway.
Less than five miles of track was laid
during the week, putting the line be-
tween thirty-nine and forty miles on
toward the coast. Even when tho force
dld get to work the usual progress
was not made at first, as the grade
was soft, For some time the roads,
which under the most propitious condi-
tions are no Appian way, were absolute
~ impossible, and thus greatly him
dercd the forwarding Of supplies from
the base. The roadbed completed was
softened by the rain and in some places
required slight repairs, but there were
no washouts or any serious damage.
The rain, or, rather, deluge, is said
to haze been the heaviest that ever Wis
lted the desert section, or at least the
greatest precipitation OF which there
IS any record. For a time Il dangerous
flood was threatened, and it looked as
If serious damage to the new road
would result, but it was more fortunate
than the roads now operating from this
point 10 the coast-the Salt Lake Route
and Southern Pacific, which both sus-
tanned thousands Of dollars of damage
The rain, of course, only temporarily
lnterfered with operations. and Satur-
day work was proceeding with the old
vim and vigor.

STATE TIME FOR FIGHT
TEX" Rickard, Managers Nolan
and Sullivan All Make Red
Hot Statements.

GOLDFIELD, New, Aug. 25.-Much sur
prise was created here this afternoon by
the announcement that Cans had said
that under no circumstances Will, he ap-
pear in the ring on Labor day before 4
| O'Clock in the afternoon, emphatically
declaring that the articles of agreement
did not state what hour the fight should
begin. He asserted that he would take
at least an hour after Weighing in before
putting on his gloves to meet his oppo-
nent. Further. he said Il have given
everything 80 far to these fellows, and
this Is an opportunity which l intend
to take advantage Of"
Ganss trainer backed up Gans'B dec
laratlon regarding his rights In the
premises by stating that when Cans
fought Joe Walcott a little over two
years ago the latter did not make his ap-
pearance in the ring for three quarters
OF an hour after weighing in
"Walcott stalled us on that occasion"
said Mcdonald. 'by saying that he had
Two lett shoes, and took most Of the
time which inteTvened to secure right
one. In this case we make our position
clear before the fight. SO that there may
be no misunderstanding, Cans Will not
appear In the ring TO fight Nelson until
o CLOCK the afternoon of September g."
Immediately after the colored lighters
position was made known TO TEX" Rick
ara, the president of the club. he said
i don't think there viii be any trouble
about 1t. Both Nelson and Cans will DO
In that ring, ready TO fight, within a half
hour after weighing In at 3 o'clock, or |,
as president of the Goldheld Athletic
club, Will declare forfeited the $4,000
which each has posted. What Mcdonald
and Cans mean by stating that the arti-
cles of agreement do not state the time at
which they will fight l cannot under
stand"
Billy Nolan declared emphatically this
afternoon that Battling Nelson will be
In the ring ready to fight within FIVE min
utes after the final weighing-iu, at
o'clock. IF Joe Cans is not there to
meet him, l shall declare his $4,000 forfeit
money mine" said Nolan.
Larry Sullivan, Ganss manager, upheld
Gans's decision in an interview this af-
ternoon. Articles or no articles" said
Mr.. Sullivan, Cans will not fight until
o'clock"
When it was mentioned to Mr.. Sullivan
that the articles plainly required both
Cans and Nelson to fight at 8 o'clock, Mr..
Sullivan angrily shouted: "Then there
will be no fght,' and assented to his
being quoted TO that effect.
