WORK OF BEETLES.
Many Elm Trees in State Badly Dan

Many Elm Trees in State Badly Dam
 aged-Advice by Dr. Brltton. The ravages of the elm tree beetles among the elm trees of the state have played havoc with the foliage of the trees in many places, and owing to the fact that for several seasons the bee ties have not been plentiful, the au- thorities in most places have neglected to have the proper spraying of the foli- age done until it is now too late to &C., complish anything.
 Dr. Britton, the state entomologist at the agricultural station in this city, was asked regarding the situation, and he said.
 Tt Is now too late to accomplish anything by spraying the foliage of the elm trees. About all the damage that can be doneto the trees this season. has already been done.
 Most of the grubs are now coming down the trees and are lodging in the bark, and around the ground at the foot of the trees, where they will rap idly transform.
 Much can be done now to curtail the crop of beetles next season by catching and destroying these grubs ol by spraying the trunks of the trees and the ground underneath with kerosene emulsion. Then if this is followed early next season with the spraying of the foliage the fight against the pest will be effective.

MAY INCREASE ICE PLANT.

 Poor

City Could Then Sell Ice at Cost to the
 Poor,
 The question of increasing the capa- city of the city's ice houses, which are situated at Springside home, was brought up by Mayor studley and thoroughly discussed at a recent meet ing of the board of finance. It is said that a comparatively Httle expense would make it possible to harvest 5000 tons of ice yearly instead of 1900 tons as at present.
 The lake near the home would have to be damned so1as to make larger cutting surface, but much of the work could be done by,nmates, thus reduc- ing the cost to the city.
 The city has sold 800 tons of ice this year Acitizen who heard of the mat ter said yesterday that it would be a good idea to sell the ice to the poor at cost prices, and have distributing station in the center of the city where the ice could be called for.
