A common joke on lawyers is Illus
trated by aA actual case which just
occurred at Albany, New York. An
aged woman died without family or
known relatives. There being no
body to perform the last decent rites,
the neighbors called in an undertak-
er to bury her. That would have con-
cluded the chapter, only that the un-
dertaker in noSing about came across

ing balance of ST., ,566.
After the funeral the undertaken
applied for the office of administra-
tor. He employed two lawyers, as
the court had declared the estate eS-
cheated because of the lack of heirs.
The undertaken charged 1855 as ad-
ministrator and 81 1926 for the funer-
al. One of his two lawyers charged
$3.50 and the other put in a bill for
So, 700, showing himself the smarter

with bill of 81, $50. A nurse pre-
sented bill for 81, 900. The corpora
tion attorney, appearing for the state,
presented his little bill for 81, 200.
All the claims, though later con-
tested by a claimant to the estate,
were allowed by the court, aggregat-

How to Destroy canker Worms

Manhattan, Kansas, May 2, 1911.
Canker worms have set up house
keeping in Kansas orchards. Apples
that escaped the frost now have this
enemy to contend with. Sedgewick
and neighboring counties have report
ed to Albert Dickens, head of the
Horticultural department of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College, that
the apples are suffering. Prof. Dick
ems says:
"Arsenical poisoning is required,
and, as the canker worm is less sus-
ceptible than most leaf-eating insects,
a stronger mixture should be used.
/ believe not less than three pounds
of high grade arsenate of lead to fifty
gallons of water should be employed.
The spraying should be done so thor
oughly that every leaf and bud is we'll
coated with the poison. Trees treat
ed with this degree of mixture have
never been defoliated. A standard
arsenate of lead should be used. If
it does not contain fIom Is to 25 per
cent, a larger amount will be requir-
ed
The neglect to spray last year, be-
cause the fruit crop was destroyed by
frost, has given the canker worm a
chance to increase very rapidly. 1t
is common thing, in localities
where spraying is not practiced, to
have trees defoliated and killed by
the canker worms. The females of
this worm appear very early in the
spring, and frequently during the
warm days of February. The eggs
are laid upon the buds and the in
sects hatch and begin to feed upon
the buds as soon as the clusters OPEN
1t is a voracious feeder concerning
the buds, leaves and flowers. Fre-
quently second brood appears later
in the season, causing serious injury
and frequently the death of the trees.
The entomolOgiStS have revised the
history of this insect considerably
during the past few years. They
find that the females appear very
early in the spring, in fact the warm
days of February bring out large num-
bers of them. The female is Wingless
and crawls up the tree to deposit the
eggs.
If bands coated with some sticky
substance are placed c.bout the trees
many of the insects will be thus trap
ped and destroyed.
Orchards that have been we'll spray
ed for Goblin are not showing very
bmuch injury from canker worms.
| The spray that is being used now
should be applied with double OBJ
| ject of killing the canker worms and
marked often by fruit growers that
the arsenic poison would not kill can
ker worms. The entOmologiStS ex-
plain this by the fact that after the
worms become grown they do not eat
nearly so much as when small. At
any rate, trees that have been coated
with three pounds of arSenate of lead
| to so gallons of water have never been
defoliated.

OF all the cranks the crankiest is
the chronic pessimist. He is always
whining like a half starye dog with
can tied to it's tail. When the sky
is beautifully clear, he Is positively
certain that everything will dry up
and there will be a scarcity. When
the gentle rain begins to fall he la
ments and is afraid the crops will be
scarcity. When the gentle rain
begins to fall he laments and is
afraid the crops will be spoiled He
is always expecting some great ca
lamity misfortune of some kind, or of
being laid up with rheumatism No
matter how rosy the apples look or
how juicy the pears, he is afraid they
are wormy at the core and can't be
kept until Christmas. The country
is going to the bow-wows and every
body is dirty and dishonest rascal.
His own peaceful and progressive
town is all right, but he is convinced
that it never will improve so very
much. The high water tank is a
notable land mark. but it might fall
down some day and do great damage.
Ae enjoys excellent health at present,
but he is sure he won't long
and he shouldn't The world would
be much happier without such cranky
pessimists.-Bert Walker
