EN0S MILLS PLEASED WITH
CANON CITY CELEBRATION

Enos A. Mills, OF Estes park. nat
uralist and lover OF nature OF nation
al repute. is in Pueblo. He arrived
here last evening from Canon City.
where he attended the celebration In
Royal Gorge.
Mills Is deyoting his life to study
OF nature and in telling the people in
all parts OF the country about the
trees and flowers. that they never
dreamed OF. Right now he is exert
ing his energies towards having Estes
park, In northern Colorado. made
national park by congress. and he can
advance many exceptional reasons
why this step should be taken.
In the first place" declared Mills
last evening. Estes park never can
be used as an agricultural region. and
no one will be done an injustice by
having it made a national beauty
spot, where people from all over the
world may congregate and enjoy re-
markabIe climate and scenery such
as is not surpassed anywhere In the
world. can see no reason why 1t
should not be made into park, as 1t
IL too high for agriculture. or any
thing else Of domestic nature.

CREDIT DUE MESDAMES
BOUCHER AND M'FARLANE

The two executives OF the children's
parade. Mrs. Boucher and Mrs. Nc
Farlane. should have a great deal of
credit for the results obtained from
their thought and cleverness. Yet.
with all their thought. the project
could not have been the success that
1t was without the hearty coopera-
ton that was given by everyone who
pho participated In the event. 1t
is plain that everything must have
an inception and also someone at the
head to carry 1t through. These two
requisites we're found In Mrs. w.
Boucher and Mrs Frank McFarlane.
1t cannot be denied that the child
ren's parade was the greatest OF its
kind In Colorado and everyone who
had a part in 1t should rejoice and
be happy that they made 1t such a
great success.

Professor Gillette of the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station at Fort Col
Inns. has been visiting the orchards
about Canon in company with Mr.
Taylor. Horticultural Inspector. Mr.
Sale. Capt Rockafellow and others
to investigate the leaf roller injuries
In regard TO the habits of this in
sect Prof. Gillette says that it is a
very general feeder attacking the foli-
age of all fruit trees. as we'll as many
of the shade trees and shrubs. There
is but one brood of the worms a year
and they have all hatched and the old
est worms are now about fully grown.
They will change to the chrysalis
stage in the rolled leaves where they
are feeding. The mother will begin to
emerge from these leaf rolls about
the first week OF June They are light
yellow with rusty markings On the
wings, are about the size of the codl-
ing moth. and may be seen after they
begin Matching, in the evenings, fly
ing about the trunks of the trees and
laying the little gray patches OF eggs
on the bark These eggs will not hatch
until the buds begin to open next
spring. so there Is but one brood
year.
Through spraying with the arsenic
al poisons. arsenate of lead or Paris
green. is undoubtedly the best method
OF controlling these worms Mt this
season. The addition OF tobacco ex-
tracts may help some but there seems
to be little evidence as yet to indicate
that this is the case
This worm Is not as easily killed as
the codling moth. IL is best to use
3 to pounds OF lead arsenate to a
5V-gallon barrel and apply In a hne
spray so as to cover the entire sur
face of the leaves and fruit.
The worms prefer the young. tend
er leaves to the old. tough ones. so
keep migrating to the newly opening
leaves. On account of this habit Il is
necessary to make two or three ap-
pllcations OF the poison within n week
Of each other as the trees are sending
out new leaves rapidly at this season
OF the year. Some orchards have been
visited where the spraying has been
done in this manner and in them the
injury is very slight, while in others
fully half of the fruit has already been
taken.
