Fall Methods For The
Control of Insect Pests.

Insects live over in almost all stages
and the fall and winter furnish good
season for reducing their ravages the
following year. 1t will be well to bear
the following points in mind to 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 pry-
ing eyes of their bird enemies All
rubbish should be consigned to the
compost heap or plowed under to fur
nish humus for the soil. Stuff that
cannot be used in this 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 grass
hopper eggs and cutworms. If the
ground is kept fallow during the fall,
cutworms will disappear before the
spring crops come up.
Disc the alfalfa. 1t will break up or
bury the pods of grasshopper eggs and
be help to the plants. 1t will be well
to disc all dry exposed places where the
grasshoppers have been abundant dur
ing the fall.
Make an examination of the spray
ing apparatus and, If necessary, 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 carbon-bisulfide at
the rate of four ounces to each bushel
peas. The fluid should be put in a
shallow 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
alternating insects.
Examine the chicken roosts and pour
kerosene all over them if the mites are
troublesome. This should be repeated
at intervals of every few weeks until
cold weather sets in.

Collins.

Watch Delta Grow.

Many handsome dwellings are under
way in Delta, costing all the way from
$4,000 to $1,000. Many others of like
pretensions have recently been COM
pleted and still otheas are just starting.
The new Delta National Bank build
ing to be constructed aC corner of
Fourth and Main, opposite the Hillman
block, is another building proposition of
Importance to Delta. The building is
to be of pressed brick, three stories
and extending full length of the lot. 1t
will be an Improvement creditable alike
to the city and its projectors.
James Zaninetti will begin the con-
struction of his new hotel on the Kellogg
corner, Sixth and Main streets, as soon
as his new fiat building on the corner
of Sixth and Palmer is completed. The
hotel building is to be modern and first
class, and with the fiat now going up
will give him fronting of the entire
block between Main and Palmer along
Sixth street. Mr.. Zaninetti is certainly
demonstrating his confidence in Delta
and it would be well if we had more to
follow the example of his enterprise

Colorado Phones on
Airline Rate Basis.

1t is stated that the American Tele-
phone company, of which the Colorado
Telephone company is part. will go
} pon the airline basis at the beginning Of
the year. This means that the COM
pany will charge mile rate for talk
ing, as they do at the present, but will
estimate the cost on the direct line. re-
gardless of the route wires. This will
mean a great saving to the telephone
users in Colorado. The company has
announced that they will furnish COM
plete election returns on election night
to all political clubs and newspapers as
well as private subscribers. Grand

John Apologizes.

Dear Old Fellow:
Sorry could not keep the appoint
ment we had yesterday, but something
came up just as was leaving and it
was all off.
What do you say to having lunch
with me one day this week? Suppose
we go to the Albany tomorrow noon?
I'll meet you in the lobby. l mention
the Albany because it's a nice place
when you want to be coy and home
like all by yourself and talk business;
there's nothing noisy about it-and the
dandy good music keeps other people
from hearing what you say. The AL
bany is it.
But I'm sure you'll agree, and you
will excuse me won't you for not see
ing you yesterday? l think we can
settle it tomorrow. Remember to be
in the lobby at 1915.
Yours in haste,
JOHN.

Automobile Accident.

While going up Cory grade Wednes-
day evening in Guy Blair's automobile,
a team was met and Guy undertook. to
back his machine, when it ran off the
grade and upset. The occupants were,
with Mr.. Blair, Mrs. Vandenburg, Miss
Weir, of Salida and Mrs. Trechter.
Miss Weir and Mrs Trechter were con-
siderably injured, receiving cuts and
bruises, but no bones were broken and
the escape for the whole party from
more serious injury or even death, was
almost miraculous. Miss Weir, who
had been visiting here from Salida, de-
parted for her home the day after the
accident The auto was badly dam
aged.

ing to protect foods from the house fly,
now pronounced the worst carrier of
disease there is, and is warning sellers
of meats, fish, vegetables and other
food stuffs to keep the same screened,

flies and dust. The house fly is pest
that is exceedingly hard to handle. 1t
is poison insect, whether naturally so
or by reason of what it absorbs. The
State Boards orders are wholesome,
whether they malign the fly or not.

Second Glass City Registration.

A controversy over requirements Of
registration in cities of the second class
at Montrose has created some interest,
but seems to be mainly an agitation Of
the matter by the saloon element Of
that town, the "wet" and dry"
problem being strongly agitated in that
city.
The law in the matter seems plainly
to provide for the old way of register
ing as in counties, where the city has
less than 5000 population. Some one
has added section, though, changing
the wording of an Act, to read from
1000 to 5000. and over that section arose
the contention.
Attorneys who have examined the
matter and given an opinion say there
is no law for this and that the regis ira
ton methods heretofore in vogue con-
troll now in cities of the second class
like Montrose and Delta. Any different
construction of the law would be so
technical as to have little chance as
against performed duties on the part
of registration boards the honesty Of
whose intentions could in no way be
questioned.
