The Colorado Pest Invades the
Kansas Potato Fields.
Kaw Valley Farmers Are Using
Tons of Paris Green.
USE POWER SPRAYERS.
Each Machine Costs the Grow.
ers From $50 to S75.
Many Forcing Old Sprinklers
Into Serv ce.

Olathe, Kan, June S-The potato
growers of the Kaw river valley are
very much alarmed on account of an
unprecedented invasion of their potato
farms by the Colorado Beetle. the larva
of which threatens to destroy the en-
tire potato crop of the valley. The
farmers have bought about all the
power sprayers to be had in Kansas
City and are using tons of Paris green
in their efforts to save their crops.
Some idea of the danger to the thou
sands of acres may be had when it is
known that the sprayers which the
kaw valley potato growers are buying
as fast as they can be shipped in, cost
from $50 to SIS each. Many who are
unable to secure the power sprayers
are using ordinary sprinkling pots
with a mixture of Paris green and wa
ter. So far the war has been failure
on account of the numerous rains that
wash the plants clean before the bug
gets his poison, and the fields are so
soft that the power sprayers cannot be
used to advantage.
The Kaw valley potato crop is one of
the chief sources of revenue to the
farmers along the river but the bugs
and the rain this season will be the
cause of not only shortage, but an
inferior crop In 1874 the Colorado
beetle made this part of the country a
visit and continued east to the Atlantic
Since then the valley has been free of
the pests, and the present visit has
caught the potato growers entirely un-
prepared.

trial Of the same IL in the opinion of the
committee such a test is advisable.

of mediation and arbitration, which

The board held it's sessions at the
Laclede hotel and gave out it's recon-
mendations yesterday afternoon. The

Pope, recommended
/. That in order to re-establsh
amicable relations between employer
and employe. the employers should
reopen their shops to their employees
under the contract or agreement
heretofore in force; the officers of
the brotherhood of Railway Carmen
of America should thereupon call off
this strike, and the members of the
union should apply for their former
positions and should be returned to
work by the companies without
prejudice, as rapidly as conditions will
permit.
9. That the individual contracts
now in existence for repair work to
be done by private contractors for
said companies in certain shops owned
by said companies should be ter

port of the state board of mediation
on the carmen's controversy with
reference to piecework, stated that no

responsible for two fires Saturday. 1t

fumes and bits of melted carbolic acid
over the kitchen walls and floor. 1t

and an alarm was turned in. But
upon their arrival the firemen found
no flames to combat. The damage
was small.

incubator at work on the second floor
of their home at 1900 North Madison
street at noon. The incubator was
standing close to a wall and the heat
set fire to the piEe boards The fire.
