COLONEL LINN SPEAKS
OF TRoupI M uonr


Canton, S. D., Dec. 12-Colonel Ar
h u Linn, member of the State Sol
diers' Home board, was found at his
place Of business today in the Cantcn
Leader office, and when asked as to
h outbreak at the home at Hot
Springs. replied that he HAD heard thai
8 telegram had been sent to Governor
Wesley. but had paid little attention to
II so far and would await the natural
movement of the case. He further
said hat the trouble grows out of the
infraction OF the rules Of the home in
cases where veterans go out and be-
come intoxicated and then return and
make it unpleasant for the other MEM
bers of the institution by their drunk
en- orgies. His position appears to be
that as every case has been investJ-
gated on its merits, there is nothing
for the board to do at this time except
to await the action of the governor in
case the latter sees fit to make a special
investigation, In which event the board
will be ready to appear and answer for
its actions.
The colonel claims that there are in
terests outside OF the home in Hot
Springs which seek constantly to rob
the home and run the management and
when they find that they can do Meth
er, they are ready TO precipitate any
kind OF turmoil that may possible af-

pertinent Station)
A brief note was printed in the last
report Of this station regarding the oc-
currence of the leopard moth in Con-
necticut. Since this note was pub
lished considerable evidence has been
brought to our attention of serious
damage to shade trees, especially
elms, by this insect Pruning of the
trees and especially the removal OF
dead branches reveals the tunnels Of
the leopard moth larva, which is a
borer In the branches and trunks of
many species of broad-leaved trees.
Several specimens of the adult moths
have been captured In New Haven,
but 1t was not known until recently
that the insect is doing much injury
to the trees in Connecticut.
The leopard moth is a European
pest, and like many other very injuri-
GUS insects that we now have to fight,
was accidentally introduced into this
country, being first noticed in June,
1881, at Hoboken, N. J. Three years
later DR.. e. B. Southwick found 1t in
5uring trees in Central park, New
York city, and in 1894 pronounced it
one OF the worst insect pests attack
Ing shade trees. The leopard moth
was soon found in other cities near
New York, and in 1907 Mr.. A. H. Kirk
land, then superintendent in charge
of the work of suppressing the gypsy
and browntail moths in Massachus-
etts, called attention to It's presence

was Informed of its occurrence In

of the fine elms of Cambridge, Mass.
were threatened with destruction by
this insect. The leopard moth is re-
ported by Professor Smith as occur
ring as far south as Long Branch, N.
]. AS 1t first appeared In Hoboken, N.
j., II will be seen that like many other
European insects introduced into this
country 1t has spread northward much
more rapidly than In any other direc-
ton.
The position of the caterpillars tun-
neling In the branches, especially
when they are in the tops of large
trees, render them exceedingly diff
cult to reach. II the trees are pruned
or otherwise gone over Systematically
ever year or two the burrows will GER
tainly be detected and can be treated
by injecting a few drops of carbon
disulphide from an oil can into each
and closing the opening with clay, put
ty, grating wax or newly made hard
soap. The poisonous fumes penetrate
throughout the galleries and will kill
the borers therein.
Whiting branches indicate the pres
ence of the borers and should be re-
moved and destroyed. All twigs and
limbs that break off during storms
should be gathered and burned, thus
destroying many of the borers in their
tunnels. All female moths should be
destroyed wherever found.

this levee paved roadway rs miles in

This is the end New Orleans is
working to and will have reached, in
large part, anyway, by the time the
Panama canal Is opened to the ships
of the world.
Meanwhile modern sewerage and
drainage within the city proper have
practically and wholly solved the city's
sanitary problems, and the discovery
of a simple method of filtering the
waters of the Mississippi river has
given the city pure water service ex-

In experiments conducted by the

was caught in a sterilized net and

germs washed off the insects body, as

About half the deaths from typhoid
