A letter received recently tells OF

he was a convict and that he removed

A type OF the shady roadside is shown
in our illustration. The trees are pines,

THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE.
Suggestion as TO Effective Method OF
Preventing Injury to
Plants.

The only effective way 90 prevent
injuries 10 asparagus by asparagus
beetle larvae is TO destroy the eggs
before they hatch, says the Orange
Qnd) Farmer. The first eggs are
laid on the young shoots; later on
the grown plant. They are black,
about lie inch long and set nearly
at right angles TO the stem; so.
though small. they are fairly conspic.
uous. In few days they hatch into
Shiny. greenish slugs with black
heads. legs and dots on the body.
The simplest way TO manage is 10
leave few inferior shoots for the
females TO lay eggs on. When four
or FIVE days old these shoots must
be cut and burned and others allowed
20 replace them. To simplify this
cutting and TO reduce TO a minimum,
the chance OF missing any plants,
those allowed 20 remain should be
all in certain parts OF the field on
certain days. The field should be di.
vided into four or three equal parts,
depending on the frequency OF cut.
ting. At the first cutting the trap
plants should be left in the first sec
ton and so on. In each other section
every punky stalk should be cut with
the marketable ones and burned.
Every trap plant in any section must
be cut on the fourth or fifth day and
the plan continued through the cut
ting season. This will completely
protect the field from late attack and
reduce possible infestation the next
season. provided no asparagus is al

waste places and provided neighbors
are as careful.

sect passes the winter In the egg stage.
In the south they are laid on the edges
OF leaves. frequently, a row on each

sect has two generations I'm the south.
When theeg are laid, the surface OF the

eggs are then laid, one after another. the

LIMITS CORN YIELD.
Low Protein Corn More Apt 70 Do Well
on Land Poor in Nitrogen Than
High Protein Corn.

Regarding tho yield OF corn II seems
quite possible that upon land whose
productive capacity Is limited by the
supply OF available nitrogen the low
protein or high starch corn may yield
better than the high protein corn.
provided the two kinds OF corn are
equal In other respects. as in germ.
mating power. yigor OF growth. root
development. etc. My opinion is that
II we have use for high protein corn
we should produce II and by means
OF leguminous crops we should pro-
vide the growing corn crop with as
much nitrogen as II can profitably
use. or course this principle applies
not only 10 nitrogen. but 20 all OF the
elements OF fertility. There 10 no
economy In allowing any crop 10 grow
In half starved condition. any nero
than there is In keeping growing ami.
mails on mere maintenance ration.
We should provide not only the nj.
trogon. but we should also make sura
that the supply OF phosphorus and
potassium Is sufficient for maximum
profitable crop yields.
In this connection II may be stated
that the evidence thus far obtained
from soil Investigations in the corn
belt indicates that the supply OF nj.
trogen Is abundant in most soils. in
deed that large amounts OF nitrogen
are annually passing of In drainage
waters. that phosphorus and not nj
trogen Is the element which commonly
limits the yield OF the corn crop. and
that the chief effect OF clover upon a
succeeding crop OF corn Is due 10 tho
phosphorus liberated by tho decaying
clover residues, tho flxation OF nj.
trogen being OF secondary import.

A RIGHT TO GOOD ROADS.
No Industrial Glass in Country More
Entitled 70 Help Than Farm
ing Communities.

II this is a government OF, by and
for the people. IL Is time TO cast about
and see whether It's functions are be-
ing faithfully exercised. There are
ninety million people in the United
States. and more than one-third or
these are engaged In agricultural
pursuits. Upon this latter class all
the others depend for the necessaries
OF life. and according as conditions
are good or bad about the agricul-
tural classes. all the others are af.
fected. Prosperity in the farming
world means prosperity In the indus.

the farmers suffer. the disaster
reaches In some measure 10 every
man, woman and child In the country.
There is no way 10 honestly put
out OF sight the interdependence OF
our people. and yet the one class that
could live absolutely without the ex-
istence OF any OF the other classes Is
the farming community. In view
OF these self-evident truths II does
seem that the industrial and mercan.

Nav Refund Rallrond Taxet.

Attorney General Bird has yielded TO
the point made by the Lake Shore
railroad in relation 10 the interest on
the taxes for 1902. When the Detroit
school board succeeded in having a
new rate for railroad taxation estab-
llshed, there was delay in giving no
uce to the railroads. IL has been held
that interest for that year should be
computed from April i, 1903. on the
amount OF taxes first assessed, but
only from June l on the increase that
resulted. Some OF the railroads paid
the full amount the auditor general
charged In his computation OF inter-
est, but they probably can get the leg
islature 10 pay back. This will amount
