FIRST AND SECOND SPRAYS
FOR THE COOLING MOTH

The most important of all the sprays
for the control of the codling moth
is that made Just after the blossoms
have fallen and before the calyx lobes
lave closed. The reason that II is
50 important 10 make thorough ap.
plication at this time Is because. on
an. average, about so per cent of the
worms for the year try to enter the
apple at the calyx or blossom end.
II the poison can he placed In the bios.
som before II closes, II remains there
to catch the so per cent of the first
brood In doing this the second blood
is also lessened by so per cent. The
poison then remains within the calyx
to kill so per cent OF the 20 per cent
of the second brood that was left.
Il is also important because, II the
poison is not applied before the calyx
closes, the so per cent of worms that
enter at the calyx then have free ac-
cess to the apple without danger of
being poisoned, and no amount. OF
spraying afterwards can get them So,
after all, the best time to poison tne
worms that are 10 enter the apples al

treatment, when the blossoms have

nature of the food that the COW eats.

IN Denver against the feeding of

SOME MEANINGS OF
 THE ELECTION RETURNS

Though there are other candidates for Speaker of the popular branch of Congress, present indications are that the very competent leader of the Dem ocratic minority in the present House Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri. will be elected. He has been interviewed upon the subject, and has expressed Q strong wish for party unity. and desire that all questions as to rules revision, committee appointments. tar if reform, etc. be settled in the Dem ocratic caucus. He further says:
 I see no reason why the Democrats in the next House should fight For years we have been scrapping. snort ing and cavorting around the country and the Republicans have been stand ing solid as a rock. For the last two years have worked early and late to bring harmony. decided that l would have no personal quarrel with any Democrat. I decided that I would smooth the hair the right way on the hide. I do not know whether it was any work that did it or not, but at the last session we got together for the first time in seventeen years. What we did in the House had a good effect on the Democracy all over the country.
 "No man of any, sense, in any party" Mr. Clark adds, wants to do anything whatsoever that will injure the legitimate business of the country in the slightest degree"
 There is some curiosity as to whether the Democratic caucus will exclude the Speaker from the committee on Rules, or allow him to appoint the commit tees or delegate that power to a com mittee on Committees. In our belief, the Democratic caucus will not take any action upon these matters incon- sistent with the Democratic members action upon them in the present House The rank and file of the party, and the Republicans who acted with them at the recent election, would not ap- prove any revival of the principles of "Cannonism'' under Democratic aus pices. They do not desire any man. Democrat or Republican, to exercise such arbitrary power as was possessed by Speaker Cannon until a Demo- cratic-Insurgent combination deprived him of a part of it.
 It is rather early yet-the next House doesn't meet until December 1911-to discuss these matters, but it cannot be wholly amiss to plainly state some of the orders clearly given by the people at the recent elections.
