Costly insects.

Congress has appropriated 100000
to import bugs to eat up the gypsy
moths These moths were brought to
the United States some years aGo-in
an experiment to determine whether
they were sflk-producers. They es-
capped from custody and began eating
BoSton's trees. From Boston they
spread through Massachusetts, and
they are now ravaging all New Eng
land. They have caused damage est
mated at millions OF dollars Most OF
the injurious insect pests which de
stroy vegetation in the United States
are imported The Hesian fly, which
with the chinchbug does over 100000.
700 damage to the wheat crop annu
ally, was brought over in the forage OF
the British Army in the Revolution.
The San Jose scale, which is limiting
productive orchards to men with eN-
pensive spraying apparatus. is OF re-
cent knowledge, and probably came
from Asia The boll-weevil came
from Guatemala through Mexico. Even
sthe potato bug has its right to Ameri.
can ancestry challenged
There are two ways to combat these
insects, which do hundreds of millions
of dollars. damage every year to the
crops of the United States. One is
Sby human endeavor-by spraying. by
poisons, by rotation OF crops and fresh
SOIL by selected seed and by careful
cultivation This requires capital and
expert knowledge The other way is
to import the natural parasites from
the countries whence the destructive
insect came. That has been tried with
the scale in California and with the
bo1l-weevn in Texas. 1t is now tc be
tried with the gypsy moth Some
effective parasite antidote to the po-
tato ug may be found. If natures pre-
ventitires can be discovered they will
be more effective and cheaper than
spraying poisons and bug-catchins ma

WHY THEY OBJECT
TO CONSOLIDATION
Special Committee Appointed By
Logan People Adopts Pa
per on Subject.
WILL SEND 1T BROADCAST
OVER THE STATE OF UTAH
Reasons Set Forth Why Agricul-
tural College Should Re-
main at Logan.
Special to The Tribune.

LOGAN, Aug, 14.-The special com
mittee appointed to oppose, consoh;,
datlon of the Agricultural college and
the University of Utah met this even
ing at $50 Mt the Commercial club
and adopted the following paper, which
will be sent out broadcast over the
State
Whereas, an attempt is being made
to remove the Agricultural college and
unite it with the University of Utah
on the present site of the University
ut Salt Lake City; and
Whereas, such union of these institu-
tions would, in our opinion, be not only
impracticable, but inimica1 to the best
interests of the State. Therefore, as
supporters of industrial education and
friends of the agricultural interests of
the State, we adopt the followino prin-
ciples as basis upon which to oppose
consolIdat
First. We appreciate the fact that
the revenues Of the State are not equal
to the demand made on the State Treas
ury for educational and other purposes,
and we realize that these demands to
meet the needs of the rapidly growing
creased more rapidly than the revenues
of the State would justify.
Second. We favor the expenditure
of the least possible amoutn consistent
with the normal growth Of the edu-
catIonal institutions of the State and
we demand a fair and equable uppor-
tionment on such amount between our
institutions of higher learning.
Third. We approve the following
nority report of the college university
commission: ''We recommend that the
Legislature, first, describe the field to
be occupied by ench institution, lin
iting the distinctive work of the in
stitution to certain departments, 80 as
to present as much duplication as pos
sible; second, determine the propo-
sition of the State Is revenue that can
consistently be devoted to higher edu-
cation; third, determine the proportion
of the amount available for higher edu-
cation, that each institution is en-
titled to; fourth, make a statutory levy
permanently appropriatlng In the form
of mill tax, the amount to which each
institution is fairly and justly entitled,
the tax to cover Appropriation for
maintenance, buildings, and all purposes
whatsoever.
Fourth. We recognize that the Ag-
ricultural college is State institution
and we contend that the interests of
the people OF the State can be best
served by maintaining the college as
a separate and distinct institution. Lo-
cal preiudices should not be considered
and sectional interests should not be
unduly emphasized in determining the
pending issue. We do believe, how
ever, that the apportionment OF the
various State institutions provided for
by tho constitution is just and fair to
all sections of the State.
Fifth. We believe that the field oc-
cupied by the Agricultural college
should be confined strictly within ag
ricultural and industrial lines as con
templated and determined by the law
which created il.

COTTAGES ARE NEEDED
Pointer Given to Local Capitalists by
Commercial Traveller.

''If some capitalist would build and
furnish number OF small cottages in
Salt Lake, he would reap a rich harvest
In rentals from tourists" declared a
New York drummer in tho Wilson hotel
last evening
"A great many people who visit Zion
would hail such a move with delight,
as they might then prolong their visit
and the expense would be much less
than IL would cost them TO live at n
hotel Besides, the visitors who rented
such houses would be enabled TO live
just as they pleased. and at the same
time have all the comforts of home.
The idea was suggested to me by
some Eastern friends, whom / met lately
in Los Angeles, They had just visited
Salt Lake. and in the City Of Angels
were living In one of those cozy bunga-
lows which abound there My friends
were delighted with their temporary
home, which was Just large enough to
accommodate them comfortably, and was
furnished with everything necessary from
kitchen to front porch.
Houses of this character, | should
think. would always be in demand and
as they are inexpensive, the income from
