LITTLE POTATO BEETLE PEST
nsecticidc Recommended That viii
Stand Considerable VT Weather
and Do Good Work.
.eY s. ARTHrR IoHNsoN. coLoRA.

by s. ARTHUR JOHNSON. COLORA-
DO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE)
The potato beetle is such com
mon pest that a description scarcely
seems necessary, but since other In
.ects are often mistaken for It, it may
be well to give a brief account Of it
The adult beetle Is oval in form, about
three-eights of an inch in length AM
lust little narrower than long The
ground color is yellow. The upper
wings are marked by ten black lines
running lengthwise.
The adults live over winter in the
ground to the depth of six to ten
inches or more.
In the spring the beetles appear
about the time that the potatoes
break from the ground, and In few
lays the egg laying begins. The eggs
are bright yellow in color and are
laid in patches on the under sides OF
the leaves. They are very easily dis
covered by simply turning over the
vines with the hands so that the under
sides of the leaves are exposed Ev
cry potato grower should make sys
tematie examination of the vines by
passing through his fields and turning
over the leaves of two or three hills
In each row
The eggs hatch in from four to
eight days, according TO the tempera
ture. The larvae are dark red gfubs
With black heads For the first day
| ,r two they often eat the surface OF

Matched. Then they migrate to the

young tender leaves which are just

The ideal moment for the first

ginning to hatch Fortunately, we
now have an insectioide which vii

Seattle, July I3.-Secretary of
the Iaterior Richard A. Ballinger
arrived here t day from Wash
ington last night to spend his
summer vacation. The first
thing the secretary said on his
arrival was that he Fad no in
t7ntion of rcsigniug.
1T has been frequently stat
ed, said the secretary, THAT |

moved my house furniture away
from Washington. There is abb
solutely no foundation for any
such statement. am not made
of the resiguing material and do
not propose to crafty those per-
sons who want me to resign.
That is not my object in being in
office,
II expect to administer the in
terror department in a legal man
ner which believe will ultimately
receive the appreciation of every
one.
l am greatly pleased with the
Legislation enacted by congress
affecting the interior department
which has given legal authority
to withdraw public lands for
classification and provide for the
disposition of the public-domain.
THE $20,000.000 reclamation
bond boud issue was an admins
tration measure, as was the lar
gely increased appropriation for
the survey of public lands, not
only in the United States but in
Alaska.
The interior department Sc
cured through congress more sub
stantial legislation at the last
session than Tor several years pre-
vious. A very fine measure pass
ed was that which enabled sur
face entry in lands containing
coal and the disposition of the
coal under appropriate laws.
Il take great satisfaction not
only in the results affecting the
interior department, but the 9TH
er departments as we'll, ! feel par
ticularly glad that President
Taft has secured the fulfllment
of substantially all the party
pledges"

The selection of Mrs. Herbert w.
Hall as President OF the Woman's
Board of the Appalachian Expo
sition to be held in Knoxville,
Tenn, Sept IL to Oct. -, next
was a happy thought. Mrs. Hall
is especially adapted for the exalted
position which she will hold with
much grace and charm. Mrs. Hall was
the social belle of Knoxville as Miss
Annette Mcmillan, and has been, for
a number of years, a leader OF Knox
vile society and is a hostess without
a peer. Her executive ability and her
charming personality make her al
mirably adapted for the leader OF this
important work. The Exposition Di-
rectors can certainly be congratulated
on having Mrs. Hall enthusiastically
interested as their co-worker.

NEW YORK TO

MAY RUN THROUGH CITY
Report Carrent. in Railroad Circles
That Southern May Change
Fast Train on This Road

1t is understood in railroad circles
that the Southern is considering the
matter of changing one of its fast trains
from New York and Washington by
way of Bristol. This would mean that
the trains would run from Washington
to Lynchburg and by way of Bristol to
Knoxville, instead of by way of Ashe-
vile.
1t is probable that the proposed new
train would arrive in Bristol east bound
about or o'clock in the morning
and west bound at about II O'Clock at
night This would give US an early
morning train into Bristol over the
Southern and late train out of Bris-
tol at night.
The merchants and business men OF
Bristol are pressing the Southern for a
late night train out of Bristol and an
earl V morning trairf into the city and
it is reported that the officials are anx.
ious to devise some means of accom-
modating the city in this respect and
are considering the matter of putting
on another train that would be equal
to the Memphis special. 1t would
probably run between New York and
New Orleans and be a limited train
1t would be necessary to run it over
