TO FIGHT THE GREEN BUGS
Kansas University Sending Para.

Insects Feed Upon the Bugs and
Eventually Destroy Them-Prof
Hunter In Charge.

Lawrence, Kan, April 19.-The en-.
tomology department Of the Univer-
sity of Kansas, under the direction Of
Prof s. J. Hunter, has decided to be-
gin war upon the green bugs In the
wheat fields by distributing parasites
which feed upon the pests through
out the infested area.
Prof. Hunter has gathered a supply
of the parasites at the chronological
laboratories and will receive more,
nearly every day from the fields In the
extreme southern border OF the state.
These he will send out ON request to
any farmer writing In to the uniyer-
sity for them, along with a letter civ
ing direction how to handle them
Forty consignments of parasites were
sent out from the university labora.
tories Tuesday to the southern part
of the state. They were shipped in
wooden boxes four inches by six by
nine. The parasites are upon leaves
of wheat. Each box contains several
hundred. The farmer, on receiving
the shipment, places the leaves OF
wheat bearing the insects in his in
tested wheat fields Immediately In
order that they may begin breeding as
soon as the weather becomes warm.

RAPID PROGRESS
San Francisco Has Made Great
Record Since the Earthquake
of Last Year.
BUSINESS MORE THAN EVER
Bank. clearings $2,5oo, 900 Greater In
March 1907 Than Same Month OF
1906-50,00o Men Engaged In
Building Industry.

San Francisco, April 19.--One year
ago Thursday San Francisco was all
but wiped out Of existence by fire
succeeding terrific earthquake shock.
Nearly quarter of million people
were rendered homeless and the finan-
cial loss amounted to about $5O0,O0O,-
200. The city was left mass OF
smoking ruins and rehabilitation
seemed a matter of many years
Thursday the sun rose from a cloud
less sky over a busy metropolis IN
which the volume Of business more
than equals that of a twelve month
AGO. and whose ropu' alton is fast APP
preaching its former figures. Such a
record is said to be without parallel.
During the year $75,0000OO has
been expended in work OF construc--
ton. one-third of which was furnished
by the savings banks, which In COM
mon with all the financial institutions
withstood the disaster without sign
of weakness. Over $30,000,000 has
been paid for labor, $4,000 men are
now engaged in the building industry
while before the fire only 10000 were
at work. Temporary construction
which for while prevailed has
ceased and permits for the erection
OF first class fireproof structures to
cost over $50,OOO,O00 have been
granted. The restoration OF
old buildings which survived
the flames, now in progress,
will require the expenditure of many
millions more. About 200 miles Of
street railway, rendered useless, are
now in running order Perhaps the
most convincing proof of the sub
stantial rehabilitation of the city Is
shown by the bank clearings which
for March exceeded by nearly ST.
100000 the figures for the same
month OF last year, just preceding
the catastrophe.

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago a farmer put his ihi-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent y
with merchant. Before the year, IVES
out he got the dollar back. -Four times
in six years the dollar came back 10
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket Of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got 1t back four
years ago. He sent 1t to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes OF the com
munity. He sent 1t entirely out OF
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand In times OF sickness
and trouble.

United States, the aggregate having
amounted to s15O,O0O,OOO in 1906. This
represents rapid growth, our leather
dealings ten years ago having been
but $55, 100000 Our imports are main
]y hides and skins, which are the
crude material for our leather-work-
ing industries. while foreign countries
are taking our manufactures of leather
in many forms and in increasing
quantities. In 1906 we sold abroad
s9,500.000 worth of boots and shoes

A farmer who has just driven into
vermilion, Saskatchewan, in a dog
sled brings word that he is running
the most northerly embarrassing
ranch in the world, and he submits
specimens OF fine grain to prove the
statement. As his farm is 1900 miles
above the international boundary line
1t certainly is pretty well north, but
the farmer is enthusiastic over the
conditions. All the region needs, he
affirms, is the opening up of communi-
cation, as travel by dog conveyance
and without roads or trails Is little
slow He admits that the winters are
a trife severe up there, but says the
summers are great for grain raising.
No doubt Canada will hail this as a
fresh boom for her wonderful north
west, but it is quite likely that the
average farmer would prefer section
which does not require combination
of agriculture with arctic exploration.
