y few years ago the Colorado EX-
perimental Station sent out about
four hundred cultures of this disease
to be tested by the farmers who de-
sired to use it in their fields. The
Station also experimental quite ex-
tensively with it upon the college
farm and in the surrounding neigh
borhood. A few of the reports that
came in from farmers would indi-
cate that the disease had done great
good by killing grasshoppers. Nearly
all the reports, however, indicated
that the disease did no good. In our
own experiments at the Station, there
was only one uniform result, and
that was negative in every case.
Therefore, l was forced to conclude
tnat the disease does not often do
any good when distributed artific-
iaily for the destruction of grass
hoppers, and / believe every other
entomologist in the country who has
experimental with this disease has
come to the same conclusion.
This disease is a fungus and is
present in all agricultural sections of
the state where grasshoppers occur.
1t only needs to have the right con-
ditions of temperature and moisture
to cause it to germinate and develop
rapidly. When such times occur, the
disease attacks the grasshoppers and
may kill them Almost completely in
a large area. The few disease germs
that can be added artitically by
person scattering them in the field
seem 10 give no increased benefit.

Other Dissenting Opinions.

Upon this civil rights decision hing
ed all the decisions that have been
handed down by the Supreme Court
since 1888, and Mr.. Justice Harlan
has uniformly dissented from the de-
cisions as rendered by the court upon
the same broad grounds. Chief Of
these was the celebrated Jim Grow
car case brought up from Louisiana
entitled Plessy VS.. Ferguson. In that
case the plaintiff was an octoroom and
sought the protection accorded white
people, but the court. decided against
Plesy, the plaintiff on the same mar
row grounds. It win thus be seen
that the fact that a justice Of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court is a North
ern man and Republican TO boos IS
no protection to Colored persons ap-
pealing to that court for justice. And
| Il viii further be seen that Southern
men on that bench so far from being
detrimental to Colored Interests have
been a decided advantage TO the Ne
gro people and had Southern advice
on that bench been followed We would
