U. s. Government Doing This
Near Garden City.
Over 10000 Trees to Be Added
to Sand Hills Reserve.
PINES ARE PREFERRED
One-third of Those to Be Planted
of This Sort.
Ten Years. Time Will See q
Wonderful Transformation.

Garden City, March CSC. A. Scott
of the forest service of the government
has been inspecting the forest reserve
in the sand hills and the results of
the first seasons work. He is highly
pleased with the results attained so
far, and he is laying plans for push
ing the work at this point. The work
of the first season was somewhat in
the nature of an experiment and it will
be possible this season to make some
changes which will result in the sue
cessfuI growing of more trees.
OF the trees planted last season
about third of the pines are alive
and in good condition. OF the broad
leaf trees, as trees other. than pines
and cedars are designated, about the
same proportion are still alive. Mr..
Scott, in speaking of the work on the
reserve last season, said he was pleased
with the results. This year we will
plant 10000 trees he continued.
"One-third of these will be pines. I
have always contended that the pine is
the best tree for the sand hills and l
think the experience we have had so
far tends to confirm this opinion. We
will put in two kinds of pine or west
ern yellow pine. Both these varieties
are well adapted to the conditions
here. Last year we put out a number
of honey lOcustS and these have had a
good growth. The honey locust is we'll
adapted to the sand hills and more of
these will be put out this season. The
black locust makes the most rapid
growth in the conditions found in the
country here, but the black locust
borer makes it impracticable to plant
them. No successful method has yet
been discovered for combating this
pest.
This season we will have the ad-
vantage of learning where we made
our mistakes last season. We planted
two-year-old pines last year, but this
time we will plant three-year-old trees
and think there will be a larger pro-
portion of these live. In the first plant
ing the ground was listed and the trees
set in burrows. The loose soil in fur
rows was of such a nature that it was
easily blown about. and it covered up
some of the small trees. This year
we will pillow the greater part of the
ground to be set in trees. and I think
we shall have better success
If the trees continue to grow as
they have this year, in another decade
the forest reserve will begin to as
sumo the appearance of a forest 1t
requires about this length of time for
the trees to attain any size, and from
this time on they grow at a much
faster rate.
Mr.. Scott plans to begin his work
about the first of the week and he
will have work for some twenty men,
He is making his headquarters at the
Hotel Stone while in town.
Mr. Scott is a Kansas man, his home
being in Westmoreland. He has been
now and when it was decided to estab-
lfsh the reserves In Kansas and Ne
braska he was put in charge of this
part Of the work.

While on a hunting expedition on the
salt marshes of the Stafford Gun club
in the central portion of the state Geo
W. Stansf1eld brought down a strange
looking duck which was flying with d
bunch of blue wing teal. No one in
the party of hunters had ever seen one
like it. 1t was brought to Topeka and
mounted by o. W. Bronson and is now
IN glass case at the Stansf1eld drug
store where it is admired by all sports
men.
After all the nimrods of the city had
been run to earth and all failed to class
ify the fowl, with the exception of Jesse
Elliott, the sporting goods man, a COM
plete description of the bird and its an
cestors was found in a volume treating
on bird lore and the mystery was solved

after all of the duck kingdom have hid

Circle, living about the ice foes and
bathing In the icy waters of the Arctic
ocean.
The specimen shot by Mr.. Stansf1eld
is drake and is wearing his travelling
suit which is somewhat different from
the one affected in his cold home in. the
northland. A soft white down covers
his head and a portion of his body while
black and white feathers add to the
beauty of his plumage. He is about
two-thirds as large as a canvas back
with the body about equally divided be-
tween black and white while the sides
of the head are a grayish brown and
the bill marked with strips of yellow.
Three long slender feathers extend from
his tail, giving him the appearance of
a pin-tail when in flight.
Jesse Elliott who has shot water fowls
in this section of the world for the past
quarter of a century says that but twice
within his memory has a duck of this
kind been killed in the vicinity of To-
peka. These were single birds which
had wandered off from their course and
were flying with punches of teal. They
are strong flyers, remaining on wing
for a long time and are known as ex-
cellent divers. Their flesh is not palata-

SAN JOSE SCALE IN WICHITA.
One of the Worst Pests Known AT
tacks Orchards There.

Wichita, Kan. March 2S.-One of
has struck Kansas, and even here in
Wichita it has been found in at least
one orchard. 1t is known as the San
Jose scale and preys principally upon
peaches, pluInS and other fruits of a
similar nature. 1t is oftenest found on
peach trees.
The San Jose scale is microscopic
parasite that attaches itself to the
smaller limbs and twigs, sucking the
sap from them and eventually killing
the tree. These parasites multiply
rapidly and it is very hard to rid an
orchard of them when once they have
gotten a foothold
The presence of the San Jose scale
is shown on peach twigs by small dark
red spots of irregular shape and vari-
Gus sizes. In one of these splotches
onefourth of an inch across may
often be found quite a colony of the
pests By taking a knife and carefully
turning back the scale which covers the
splotch, and which is caused by exuda-
lions from the insects, their presence
may be determined by means of good
magnifying glass.
While these insects are very small,
they are regarded by fruit growers as
one of the most dangerous foes they
have to fight. In fact, about the best
plan where they are found in an
orchard is to dig up the infested trees
and burn them,
The trees on which the scale in
question were found We're in the vi

FEAR OF COMET CRAzED MAN.
Cambria Mine- in Demented STATE
Tried TO Hang Himself.

lT1e0 10 Hang H1mSelf.
Pittsburg. Kan. March 2S.-The
relatives of Frank Hool of Cambria
who was picked up on the streets the
other night because of the fact that
he was out of his mind and carrying
on at a great rate, and warning the
people that comet was coming and
that the sea was on fire and that every
body was doomed to be burned up,
came in after him last evening and
took him hime.
His insane ideas. however, had left
him and he seemed to be quite docile
and showed but little trace of the in
sanity from which he was suffering.
During the night after he was ar
rested he attempted to hang himself
in the Jail by wrapping a leather belt
around his neck but was prevented
from this by Captain Lawler of the
night force who locked him up in a
cell.
He began to show yesterday that he
was coming out from under the spell
and in his lucid moments he could not
remember what had occurred while in
sane and talked about 1t with interest.
When he was arrested he had
S125.75 in his pocket besides five rings
and a gold watch and it was lucky that
he did not fall into the hands of
crooks or he would have been robbed
of every cent that he had.

The inevitable result came in time.
My stomach became disordered, and
I was the prey of terrible sick head
aches, so violent that 1 could not per-
form my duties satisfactorily-some
times not at all-until finally I was
compelled to give UP the work altogeth-
er. For years I was a helpless sufferer
from stomach and nerve troubles.
After 1 married, my husband had to
get his own breakfast and finally to
save time he bought Grape-Nuts, which
required no cooking. He persuaded me
to try the food also
1T was lucky I did SO. To my sur
prise 1 found that it would stay on my
stomach and agreed with me as nothing
else did. 1 grew better and stronger
rapidly, and am now a healthy, hearty
woman, who does not know what it is
to have a headache or an attack of
nerves. This is what Grape-Nuts food
has done for me, and now we stick to
the food that we know we can rely on.
when my little daughter was wean-
ed we thought she would die-no food
we could give her (even the prepared
infants food) seemed to nourish her.
Then we tried Grape-Nuts food. She

from disordered stomach, has not lost a

New Commercial Club There Is of the
Right Sort.

Ottawa, Kan, March 2S.-The ex-

mercial club met last night at the Of
fee of A. c. Hanson. secretary of the
club. 1t was the first meeting There
was a full attendance, and it is be-
lieved that the right beginning has
been made.
The committee organized by the
election Of NJ. B. Cohn chairman. 1t
was voted to appropriate fifty dollars
to place want advertising in suitable
papers, calling attention to the open
ings here for profitable investment. It
was suggested that the committee make
a standing offer to furnish 20 per cent
of the cost of a new hotel to encourage
the erection of a hotel here.
Some new hotel propositions were
presented, among them being one
from John Nelson, who offers to put
a three-story, fiFeDroof hotel on West
Second street on a bonus proposition.
A committee was instructed to confer
with Mr.. Nielsen, look over the matter
carefully, and make a recommends
ton to the full committee.
The shirt factory proposition was
also assigned to a committee with in
structions to investigate and report.
Mr.. Blake of Baldwin was here yes
terday and looked over the Keith
building. 1t is possible that home
men may be interested with Mr.. Blake
in the matter.
