June both young and old are de
voured by lady beetles and their
larvae, great numbers of which
may be found in infested fields.
Another small four winged black
fly that is hymenopterous par
aSite forces it's eggs into the
bodies of the green bugs and the
development of these eggs into
insects results in the wholesale
destruction of the bugs.
The green bugs hardness to
cold, on the one hand, and the
ravageS of his enemies on the
other, aretwo opposing influences
that have much to do in determ-
lining whether these insects are
to be serious pests or not. The
weather seems to determine be-
tween them. Mr.. Webster has
concluded that these natural
enemies ordinarily destroy such
large numbers as to hold them in
check; also that the abundance of
the insects that prey on the
green bug is primarily regulat-
ed by the weather conditions be-
tween November and May
The situation, then, is prob
ably this continues Mr.. Web
ster: THE pest is kept down by
its natural enemies, but during
open winters II not sufficiently
mild, however, to render these
enemies active-it breeds unre-
strained, and the exceptionally
cold, wet spring enables it. to
continue breedingswhile the par
asites are still inactive; thus the
pest is enabled to get the advan-
tage in point of numbers and
work its devastation before the
natural enemies can become suf-
fciently abundant to overcome it.
But the outlook is by no
appear from this statement. Fol
lowing the spring rains there
usually comes, sooner or later, a
period of dry, warm weather,
and whenever such period
comes the aphides very soon dis
appear The reason for this rs
that their parasites and natural
enemies, no longer deferred from
activity by cold and wet, immed
lately begin to breed with extra
ordinary rapidity and bring
about their practical destruction.
Should this warm, dry period
come later than usual, greater
damage is inflicted by the
aphides; shonld it come earlier
than usual. serious injury is COR
obviated. - State

vanscyoc-R c-Ringeisen.

From the Russell Record.
A very pretty wedding took
place at the Lutheran church in
Bunkerhill, on Sunday, April %,
1907.
At the close of the morning
services Miss Hattie Ringeisen
of Gorham stepped to the organ
and began wedding march,
when Miss Anna S. Ringeisen
accompanied by Miss Pauline
Biehler as bridesmaid, approach
ed the altar, and down the other
aisle came Mr. Willie Vanscyoc
with Mr.. Miller of Gorham, a
nephew of Miss Ringeisen as
best man. AS they met at the
altar, the pastor, the Rev. j. M.
Barnes met them and proceeded
to tie the nuptial knot, using the
ring ceremony.
The ceremony VISA witnessed
by a large audience, many of the
brides relatives from the Big
Creek country being present to
witness the ceremony. Miss
Ringeisen formerly lived near
GOrham where her parents and
other relatives still reside, but
has made her home in Bunker
hill for three years having
taught the primary department
of the public school for three
terms. Mr.. Vanscyoc comes
from Collyer. OF the groom the
people here know very little, but
he has the appearance of being
alright.
They made handsome couple,
the bride, brunette, dressed in
white, and the groom, a blond,
dressed in black, the bride car
rying white carnations and
maidenhair ferns.
Miss Ringeisen has made
many friends in this town who
will miss her CHEEKY counte-
nance, but are pleased that her
future looks so bright, and wish
her long, happy and successful
life.
After the ceremony the we'd
ding party repaired to the city
hotel, where a dinner had been
prepared.
The happy couple left on the
evening train amid showers of
of rice and the hearty congratu-
lations of many friends, for Cor
ham, where they will spend their
visiting friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vanscyoc will be
at home to their many friends on
and after May 20 at Collyer,

The Green Bug.

It apearS from the statements
of entomologistS that the green
bug, like the poor, we have always
with US, but he is usually so few
in number that we do not notice
him. Under certain conditions,
however, he breeds very rapidly,
and then his ravages in the grain
fields become apparent. This is
the third time that he is known
to have become serious in this
country since his supposed i'm
portation into the United States
Mr.. F. M. Webster, who has
charge of the cereal and forage
plant insect investigation of the
United States department of ag-
riculture, has prepared a circu-
lar about the green bug, and the
subject is also commented on in
the May number of the Van Nor
den Magazine Mr.. Webster
shows conSlusively that the green
bug becomes a pest after just
such mild winters and cold
springs as the present one.
The pest seems to be rather
erratio in its outbreaks in both
Europe and America" says Mr..
Webster To the agriculturist
it suddenly appears in immense
SwarmS on the grain in the fields
in spring, ruins the crop over
large areas of country, and does
not reappear in destructive num-
bers, perhaps, for many years.
The fact is, however, that it can
be found in the grain fields dur
ing any year throughout the re
gion it infests, although it may
not be sufficiently abundant to
work serious injury. The ex-
treme rapidity with which this
insect multiplies, unless restrain
ed by natural checks, gives color
to the farmers belief in it's sud
den appearance, for within a few
weeks, from numbers too few to
be readily noticeable. it will de-
velop myriads that swarm over
the green plants, turning whole
fields of thrifty grain to brown,
dwarfed plants that produce no
heads, or else reaching height
of not more than six or eight
inches, have heads that are fore
shortened and nearly devoid of
kernels. Thus it is that within
the short space of less than
twenty years this aphis has come
to be one of the worst pests of its
kind in the grainfields of the
south central portion of our coun-
try
The green bug has some natur-
al insect enemies that under nor
NAL circumstances keep them
down in numbers notwithStand-
ing their rapid increase To

CLOSING OF A BIG STORE.

Gainesville News.
The recent sale of the large stock of
goods of a. 7. Bradley Co., to Mr.. G.
q. Grist, of Marietta, marks an epoch
in the commercial affairs of Carriers
Vile. The Il. T. Bradley Co. conduct
ed one of the largest mercantile enter
prises Gainesville has known in quar-
ter of q century. They were pushing
in their methods and always had an
eye to the needs of the trade they
served. They kept large and we'll
selected stock, and their close buying
and careful study of, conditions ena-
bled them to offer goods at rarely low
prices. They became favorites with
the people and bust up good trade,
Their establishment was one that
would have done credit to a much
larger city.
Mr.. Grist has been urgently solicited
to continue the old business in Carriers
vile, but while he appreciates this, he
affirms most positively that the goods
will be moved away that are not sold
by the time named above.

Barley Yields so Bushels.

Sheriff James Haviland who re-
turned late Monday evening from a
trip into the northern part of the
county, states that the crops in that
section are in excellent condition, and
that the harvest will be one of the
largest in the history of that part Of
the county, If the present weather
continues, says the Walla walla Bull
lctin. He cited one instance. an So
acre field of barley owned by Chas.
Hoskins, and located about a mile
northeast of Prescott. While he was
there Monday the grain from this field
was being harvested by a combine
and was averaging so bushels to .the
acre. on account of the heavy grain
II was impossible to drive the horses
on the combine faster than slow
walk, as the grain would clog the ma
chinery. There are other fields OF bar
ley in this section which will average
about the same.
