almost everywhere recognized as the

seem to show that this has been
more generally effective than soluble

killed but enough survived in every

be discouraged. The aphis was not

were unsprayed. Moreover, the

The two pests which are giving the

nocent of any attempt to deceive
The people and acted without any
investigation on his part and was
deceived by his subordinates.
In reading your interview with
Mr.. X. J Huff in reference 10 the
leak in the line near the spring,
we should think il would be a
very small matter for the proper
investigation TO be made and the
source OF this flow of water ascer-
tanned. and if it is a leak in the
conduit line fix it. and if from a
spring above the intake it GER
iainly should be an easy matter
TO catch it up and turn it into the
proper channel. We think Mr..
Huff's idea of developing more
springs commendable one, and
there is no question in the mind
OF this writer but that the volume
of water could be more than
doubled at a very small outlay.
This is what Paonia should boost
for at this time, and not for the
meter system. if the $1,000 that
Mr.. Bruce claims it would cost to
meter the system was used in
prospecting and developing the
