very anxious to obtain certain informa-

Gather the Wormy Apples.

If the apples are to be gathered in
time to prevent full crop of the cod
ling moth in the orchards for next year,
the work must be done at once. All
the apples in the orchards Of the Col
orado Agricultural College were gath
cred from the trees recently, and 90
per cent were found wormy. Ordinar-
lily the apples at this time of the year
would not be more than 5 per cent
wormy. BY the time that the next
brood of worms gets into the apples, it
is probable that there will not be one
apple in five hundred that is not wormy
in the orchards in the eastern part of
the state, where so very few apples are
to be found.
1t will be great gain, whenever the
apples are in very small numbers, to
pick them all now for the purpose of
greatly lessening the number of worms
in the orchards for the next two or
three years to come. In order that
this work should be most effectual. it
will be necessary to induce your neigh
bors to pick the apples from their trees,
also. G. P. GILLETTE.

Work on the new concrete bridge is

vantage to many of our people.

himself and very good job he did too.
While stacking hay on his ranch
south of Olathe Lew White was quite
seriously hurt and Charley Hallet re-
ceived some slight injuries. Mr.. White
received broken shoulder and some
very severe bruises on his head and
arm. 1t seems that one of the stack er
rups broke and let the stacker fall on
them which resulted in the aforesaid

did much damage to crops. Scott Cor
such was the heaviest loser. his grain
ranch getting the blunt of the storm.
He had 50 acres of fine oats that is a
total loss and his wheat crop Jared but
little better. Mr.. Gorsuch in making a
conservative estimate of his loss places
the amount from 81, 500 to 5000. Some
of the hail stones were about the size
of quail eggs and fell to depth of at
least three inches. Eckert got the
wind but no hail reported. Several
haystacks and chimneys were blow wn to
the ground.
