The recent rains have swollen the
streams and cleared them of all ice,
without doing any damage along their
courses. The crop was sufficient for
all to fill their houses, and those who
failed to do so need no pity.

SAN JOSE SCALE
TO BE ERADICATED

Professor H. A. Surface, State Econ
omc Zoologist, is now instructing a
class of twenty-sev on the best me-
thods of killing noxious insects. His
class consists of men from all parts of
the state, many of them are college
graduates, many of them are quite old, i,
and all are experienced in the culture
of orchards and the problems which
necessarily arise in the pursuance of
such work.
Professor Surface is not dealing with
uuskilled pupils. but is taking intel
ligent farmers, and gardeners and is
showing them the very best method Of
eradicating the San Jose scale. Yes
terday afternoon the entire class went
to the orchard Of S. S. Rupp, in Shire
manstown, and sprayed the trees in
Mr.. Rupp's orchard with the lime
sulphur preparation which Professor
Surface has found far superior to any
thing else which has been tried any
where. The class yesterday afternoon
went through the entire work of mea-
surfing, boiling and spraying the prep
aration. The latest bulletins which
Professor Surface has received from
California show that this lime-sulphur
process is being used on the Pacific
coast with most successful results.
The entire State has been divided in
to twenty seven districts and one of
the pupils in Professor Surface s
class will be assigned to each district.
With the knowledge and drill which
they can take among the farmers of
Pennsylvania it seems most probable
that the San Jose scale will be entire
ly eradicated this year If it is not
destroyed it will be through incidence
or through lack of interest.
A demonstration will be given today
at the north end of the capitol, within
the enclosure. The gates will be open
so that any who wish to see the de-
monstration may enter. A number of
people from Philadelphia and other
distant points came to Harrisburg yes
terday to witness the demonstration
which was given at Shiremanstown.
This demonstration will be duplicated
in every particular today when the
trees in the capitol park are sprayed
and all who wish may be present.

CARITOL SOON
READY FOR USt'

| HARRISBURG, Feb. 2S.-Just as
soon as the workingmen get out of the
capitol, and only the decorators are
left to finish the work of ornamental
tion, Superintendent of Public Build
ings ana Grounds Shumaker will be-
gin the work of cleaning the building,
cartins out the debris, placing the
floor coverings aud putting in the fur
| niture.
After all this has been done will
come the work of installing the differ
ent departments in the new edifico
that have for several years been from
under the capitol's dome.
GOVERNOR IN SOUTH WING.
The executive department, attorney
generals department, State depart
ment, State treasury, auditor generals >
department, all now in the executive
building, will be transferred to the
south wing of the capitol, next to the
present executive building. The school
department, in the south wing, will
remain where it is, and the departmert
of public buildings and grounds will
be transferred to the front OF the main
building, to the left of the main ell.
trance, opposite to where Senate Lib
rarian Miller is now located, on the
first floor.
The state police department and the
state health department will be sent
to the north wing, and there will be
located the department of internal
affairs, the adjutant generals depart
ment, the agricultural department, the
highway department, the insurance de-
partment and the department Of public
printing.
SOME LOCATIONS NOT DECIDED.
AS yet the locations of the state
economic zoologist, the state game de-
partment, the state fish department,
the soldiers orphans school depart
ment and the rooms of the house resi-
dent clerk have not been determined
upon, and it is one of the problems
that confront Superintendent Shumak-
er. However, he is an executive gen
ius, and he will see that all are suit
ably settled in comfortable quarters
before hot weather sets in.
The legislative correspondent as
sociation will occupy one of the low
er compartments in the north wing
over looking the Italian gardens which
it is proposed to make part of the land
scape decorative scheme.
The last governor to move his quart
ers was Governor Pattison in 1904,
when he moved from the dingy rooms
in the old north building to the COM
paratively comfortable rooms now oc-
cupied by Governor Pennypacker.
Just what will be done with the pre-
sent executive building is problem,
but it is probable that it will be con-
verted into museum and place for the
flags, he present flag room being con-
sidered very inadequate for its purpose.

A Stevenson Story.

A book Oh Stevenson tells of speech
he made at gathering Of Scotchmen
in Samoa. He said: II cannot say why
we are proud to be Scotsmen, but the
fact remains that we are. 1t Is not
that our land Is sunny like these trop'
ical isles. and its climate is not even
lovely. Scotiand's history contains III
tie that Is not disgusting to people OF
humane feelings. That long pra"
which is called Scottish history con
tains scarcely one object that Scots
have patience with" The address drew
tears to the eyes of German who hao
gone to the meeting violently preJu
diced against Stevenson. NO sooner
had the speaker finished than the meet
ing proceeded to clasp hands and SIM
