Oppose Bank Guarantee,

Denver.-At the meeting of the trust
company section of the American Bank
ers' Association Tuesday, Brecken-
ridge Jones of st. Louis, aroused keen
interest among the delegates by his at
tack on the national banks of the coun-
try which are doing a trust company
business. Mr.. Jones maintained that
national banks were entirely without
right to perform the functions of a
trust company, and he quoted abun-
dant law to prove his contentious.
AT the suggestion of the legislative
committee of the trust company sec
ton, made in its report during the
morning session, F. H. Fries of Win
ston-Salem, N. c., introduced during
the afternoon the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That we enter our protest
against the enactment in law by either
federal or state government any proyi-
sion, either directly or indirectly
pledging the credit of the nation for
the guarantee Of bank deposits"
After sharp discussion the resolu.
ton was passed by vote of "A to5.

He was at one place up in the noun

Next day he moved on to his next

was surprised to find letter from the
proprietor of the house where he had
spent the night. 1t said: Through an

Fall Methods For The Control of In.
sect Pests.


Insects live over in almost all
stages and the fall and winter fur
nish a good season for reducing
their ravages the following year.
1t will be we'll to bear the follow
ing points in mindto aid in this
work:
Dispose of all rubbish. Many
insects which hibernate in the
adult stage seek rubbish of all
kinds. Here they are protected
from the severe change in the
weather which is SO detrimental
to their constitution and escape
the prying eyes of their bird
enemies. All rubbish should be
consigned to the compost heap
or plowed under to furnish hu
mus for the soil. Stuff that can
not be used in any other way
should be burned.
Clean out the ditch banks and
fence corners. Cut close and
rake up all these places.
Fall and winter cultivation of
the ground will help to dispose of
grasshopper eggs and cutworms.
If the ground is kept fallow dur
ing the fall, cutworms will dis
appear before the spring crops
come up.
Disc the alfalfa. 1t will break
up or bury pods of grasshopper
eggs and be a help to the plants.
1t will be well to disc all dry ex-
posed places where the grass
hoppers have been abundant
during the fall.
Make an examination of the
spraying apparatus and, If neces-
sary. give the orchard a winter
treatment. AT any rate. be ready
for the spring work.
Examine the seed peas. If
they are weeviled. put them in a
tight box and fumigate with car
bon bisulfide at the rate of four
ounces TO each bushel OF peas
The fluid should be put in a shall
low dish over the peas so that
the fumes will flow down over the
mass.
Clean out around the apple
trees and scrape off the rough
bark to get rid OF hiberna,ing in
sectS.
Examine the chicken roosts
and pour kerosene oil over
them il the mites are troublesome.
This should be repeated at inter
walls of every few weeks until
cold weather sets in.
