sects. The insects pick up the
germs from e%xcretious on trees
effected by the blight. The old
rule OF an ounce OF prevention
being worth a pound Of cure ap-
plies here. If the blight starts
from any Cause, cut of the az.
iccted parts at least II inches
below the part that shows the
disease. After each cut. the
knife or saw-whichever NAV be
used-should be dipped into a
dlsinfectant, such as a solution
of copper sulphatc, one pound OF
the copper sulphate to 10 gallons
OF water. The reason for dip.
ping the cutting instrument is
that then no germs of the dis
case will be carried by the 10
strumens to any healthy wood
that may be cut.
All wounded surfaces on
trees caused by mechanical in-
lurics should be painted over 10

which causes the blight. Soft
succulcnt growth is more sus-

than a rapid ucculcntgrowth.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 10.-The
election of Joseph F. Johnston to sue
coed Senator Pettus of Alabama is an
interesting addition to the small COM
pany of democratic senators who next
December will find seats on the minor
ity side. The newcomers, besides Sen
ator Johnston, will be John II. Bank
head, succeeding John T. Morgan Of
Al--A----~SIesE=-e-o Davis -aHsocea-1i1I5
James II. Berry of ARKANSAS; Robert
L. Taylor, succeeding Edward w. Car
mack of Tennessee, and Thomas H.
Paynter, succeeding Joseph C. S.
Blackburn of Kentucky. John Sharp
Williams, recently chosen at the Mis-
sissippi primary to succeed Senator
Money, will not take his seat until
later.
Besides those succeeded by demo
Gratis there were four other democrats
Clark of Montana, Gearin of Oregon,
Dubois of Idaho and Patterson of Colo
rado-who were succeeded by republi-
cans.
Bankhead of Alabama is the only
new democratic senator to take his
seat in the Sixtieth congress who
comes straight from the house to the
senate. Senator Johnston comes from
private life, though he is not without
experience as a public servant, having
been governor of Alabama from 1896
to 1900. He is a lawyer by profession,
but is better known as a financier.
He was the first president of the
Sloss Iron and Steel Company, and is
credited with having accumulated a
large fortune in late years.
Senator Davis was last in the pub
lie service as governor of Arkansas.
Senator Paynter comes from the Ken
lucky circuit bench, to which he was
elected after having served three
terms in the house Senator Taylor
served one term in the house nearly a
quarter of century ago, and subse-
quenuy was three times governor of
Tennessee.
The deaths of Senators Morgan and
Pettus and the retirement of Senators
Berry, Blackburn and Carmack. lead
ing or veteran democrats, leave impor-
