Shall We Spray for the codIiss Moth

Fruii growers are writing the
Agricultural College Experiment
Station to know whether or not It
will be necessary to spray their
apple trees this year for the cod
ling moth. The questions are
being asked by those who have
lost most If not all of their crop
by the late cold weather.
1t no fruit is being borne by
the trees. ii will not be necessary
to spray for this insect. Upon
the other hand, il there should be
a very light crop Of apples. the
necessity for very thorough
spraying will be greater than in
ordinary years. because the moths
will hatch in the usual numbers
and will be compelled to concen-
trate their egg laying about the
few apples the orchard is bearing.
1t is possible that the crop may
be so light in many instances that
the apples may become wormy in
spite OF the spraying. and in such
cases | believe it would be wise to
destroy all the fruit early in the
season and in this way practically
wipe out the codling moth depre.
dations in your vicinity for two or
three years. In every section
where the apple orchards bear
this year. fruit growers should
support their inspectors in every
reasonable manner in their efforts
to get every man who has bearing
apple trees TO take care of his
codling moths and destroy all of
them as nearly as possible. In
this way some benefit may be de-
rived from a year of extreme
shortage in fruit.

Kuroki. the Sou Of Q Pole.

Myron Reed once preached 4
sermon on Poetic Justice
sermon which. in the minds of
those who heard it. was one of
ihe.masterpieces OF pulpit litera-
fure. His text. OF course. was
the much quoted passage from
Esther: so they hanged Haman
on the gallows he had prepared
tor Mordecai." Reed admitted.
IN the course OF his sermon. that
poetic justice is not SO common
in this world as we might wish !;
but. he said. it is vastly more
common than we sometimes
think. As one OF many illus,ra
tions. he told of an instance that
came his way one time down in
New Orleans. IL was the day of
the death of that splendid soldier
and christian gentleman. Robert
+. Lee. The city was in mourn
ing. OF conrse. Houses and stores
we're hung with black. One man.
a bookseller. had covered with
crepe a grea, globe that stood be-
fore his doors-a globe with the
map OF the world upon it. But
the wind had ruffled the draperies.
and. when Reed came along. Eu-
rope. and Asia. and America, and
the islands of the sea all were in
mourning. but Africa was smiling
IN the sun.
An instance OF poetic justice
quite equal to thus is recalled by
the present visit of General kuro
Xxi to jamestown
II there is a land in the great
round world on which the hand
OF the oppressor has been heavy.
that land is Poland. Parted among
the three imperial thieves of Eu-
rope. Russia. as the greatest bri-
gand of them all, got the lions
share, and like a brigand did she
trea, her spoil. No one has ever
questioned the courage of the
Poles. But they have always
been fatally divided; and even
united they had but a fraction of
the strength OF the car. Yet
again and again they have revolt
ed; they have faced overwhelm
ing odds with reckless courage.
and Russia has calmly poured
out blood by the bucketful till the
revolution was quenched.
The greatest and most desper-
ate of these revolts came in 1880.
When it was over. Poland was a
shambles. Tens of thousands
had been killed in battle or butch
cred in massacres; as many
more were on the road to Siberia,
and all who could get away were
seeking safety across the border.
Among the last we're three broth
ers named Kurovski. They had
fought splcndidly, but, when the
battle was over, they had been
fortunate enough to escape. Their
estates were conhscated, OF course,
and their blood attainted. One
of them went to France, where he

The Boss Wolf TRAINER Of Iowa.

Eric Eastman of Center township,
this county, can justly lay claim to
being the boss wolf trapper of Iowa,
for he certainly has an unrivaled
record in this line. He does not
follow trapping for livelihood as
many do, but is an Industrious young
farmer. During a few weeks every
winter he takes a playspell, so to
speak, and with few traps he seeks
the hills and dales adjacent to his
home and derives the greatest enjoy
ment in trailing down wolves and
foxes. He is an expert trapper and his
game seldom escapes. He has been at
it since boyhood and his catches now
number over 200 wolves and AS many
foxes. Only few weeks ago he
bagged five wolves with his five
traps in week, three of the animals
being caught in one day Any old
trapper will tell you that comes from
knowing how. Eric has attained the
knack of it all by himself, and his
own intuition and love of the chase
has developed the expert that he now
is. So here's to Iowa's champion
wolf trapper, Eric Eastman of ALA
makee. Waukon Democrat.

Usher daily hears. To oblige often
costs considerable, though the party
who makes the request thinks the
granting scarcely worth saying

eye. The news gatherer is stormed
at because he gets hold of one item
and is abused because he does not
get another. Young men and often
young women, as we'll as older
persons perform acts which become
legitimate items for publication and
then rush to the newspaper Office and
beg the editor not TO notice their
