TOMORROW NIGHT

Bistolf Is Italian orchestra will give
a grand concert at the Nixon opera
house tomorrow night. The musical
event of the season. Following is what
the Sacramento Union says about the
performance in that city of this re-
markable orchestra:
With program covering the whole
range of music from the spring song Of
Mendelssohn to the Suwanee river and
from La Laloma to the Miserere from
II Trovatore, Bistolf Multum in Parvo
orchestra Monday and Tuesday night
delighted a large audience that filed
the opera house to the doors. 1t was
the most exquisitely rendered musical
program heard for many a long day in
the theater, and while the orchestra,
with three curious combination string
ed Instruments, includes only the ac-
complished leader and Signor Renza
and Enrico Trustmani, the music is
the equal in volume and variety Of
many full orchestra. The wonderful
delicacy OF the shading and the subtle
appeal of the minor strains Of the
music of this organization is something
to go far to hear and every number
was applauded to the echo. 1t was .
beautiful concert and the audience
owes the management debt Of graft
tude of a rare treat. The violin play
ing of Signor Enrico Trustmani, who
proved himself real master of that
king of musical Instruments, was an
inspiration and alone worth many
times the price of admission -
Selected moving pictures will be
shown before the concert and the man
agement of the opera house guarantee
to their patrons rare and delightful
musical treat, and are proud to present
Bistolfi's 8 orchestra to the public.

BEST METHOD OF
DESTROYING PESTS

Some days ago, noticing that the
box elder trees of the town were all
dying, Prof. j. F. Abel took samples of
the insects responsible for the blight
and sent them to the State University
receiving the following reply:
Reno, Nevada, June 10. 1911.
Mr.. j. F.. Abel, Winnemucca. Nevada.
My Dear Mr.. Abel: Your letter and
specimens were handed to me by Pro-
fessor True. The insects injuring the
box elder and elm trees are aprids, or
plant lice which do the damage by
sucking the sap Of the trees. They at
tack all sorts of shrubs and trees and
are one OF our commonest and most
pestiferous pests. Kerosene emulsion
is considered one of the best SPRAYS.
1t is made ydissolving half pound
Of hard soap, shaved fine, in gallon
of boiling water. Add two gallons of
warmed kerosene and churn with a
force pump, alternately drawing in
and forcing out the mixture until it
becomes like soft butter First it will
be milky, then creamy. For use dilute
with from nine to twelve parts water.
This will kill all but the eggs and as
the insects are very prolific several
sprayings will be necessary. 1t is
best to spray as early as possible in
the spring before leaves come out and
as soon as the eggs have hatched. ]
frgot to say that soft water should be
used in making the emulsion or if hard
it should be softened by adding soda
or borax.
The apple leaves look like they have
come from a tree affected with fire
blight bacterial disease. The dag
nestle characteristics of the disease are
tn. LESSONS on the twigs and fruit
where the infection is chiefly located.
II this is the disease there is nothing
to be done for it except to cut off
and burn all diseased branches as it
spreads from branch to branch. If
not this then it can only be case of
sun burn, which sometimes affects ex-
posed trees. Look over the trunk.
branches and fruit of your tree and if
you find sappy, sticky substance
oozing out from the bark in places it
is probably fire blight.
Trusting that | have answered your
questions fully and clearly enough,
am, with regards,
Sincerely yours,
PETER FRANDSEN.

S...P. Will fight
TICKET SCALP[RS

Marking the opening of a determin-
ed fight to drive from the field ticket
sealpers along its system, the South
ern Pacific railroad yesterday com
planned in the United States Circuit
Court for this district against Henry
Clark, j. +. Funk, Milton Fox, Albert
Powers, w. H. Branch and Ralph
Short, charging them with violation of
the interstate commerce law, and ask
ing writs of subpoena citing them into
court, says the Salt Lake Herald Re
publican.
In lengthy complaint, the railroad
company explains its habit of selling
reduced round trip rates, to and from
the coast ior various special occasions,
such as colonists' and tourists excur.
sions. 1t is charged that the defend
ants, along with scores of other scalp
ers, have made business of buying up
the unused portions of these tickets
and selling them again with profit to
themselves and loss to the railroad.
Thousands o. Tickets "Scalped."
1t is said that this business has be.
come particularly active since Salt
Lake and Utah have become known to
the "oriu as hcius loI fesdihiuS hcaith
and indulging in pleasure, thereby
eansing many thousands of tourists to
come here on reduced rates every year,
and affording the scalpers large mum
ber of unused tickets to handle ille
gally.
The company quotes the interstate
commerce law of February 4, 1897, to
the effect that sealping shall be con
sidered illegal, and ends with prayer
that the court bring the defendants in
to court and deal with them as it sees
fit.
Officials of the Hartman system in
Salt Lake declared yesterday that the
eourt action was but the first of
series of steps to be taken throughout
The country to put an end to the sell
in. tickets other than through the
regular channels.

SOLICIT EXHIBITS
FOR EXPOSITION
Colorado Springs, June z, 1911

Colorado Springs, June z, 1911.
To Farmers, Business Men and all
Others Interested in the Promotion
of Agriculture in the Dry Lands:
Do you want to do great service to
your immediate community, to your
self individually and the cause of
bringing the dry lands under cultiva
tions We take it that you do, and we
are thus addressing you in the hope
that you will Immediately take steps to
assist in providing an exhibit at the
exposition of the international Dry
Farming congress that is to be held
at Colorado Springs, October l6 to 22,
1911.
The committee has every reason to
believe that this will surpass any ag-
ricultural display ever held in the
western country We want the products
of your farms, orchards and gardens
that have been raised under dry farm
ing conditions shown there. Don t be
too ambitious in the matter and think
Tat you must go to great expense.
Get together and show the world what
your section is capable of producing
under right conditions and the right
kind of farming. You owe it to your
self and your community to do this.
But if you are going to undertake
an exhibit, now is the time to begin.
A successful exhibit is the result of
studied design and careful collecting.
If not too late, plant special plats of
land and carefully attend them; lay
aside in cool, dark places grain and
fruits that ripen, or otherwise treat the
products in the best way to preserve
them. If in doubt on matters of this
kind, write to the secretary Of the
congress.
You will be surprised how fast your
collection grows. Start and don't be
afraid to try it out at state and coun-
ty fairs before coming with it to the
exposition.
Business men, and especially county
commissioners, you have a big stake in
this thing. You can encourage grow
ers of your region to get together and
undertake the collection of exhibits.
Back up their efforts with special
prizes; see to it that your county
gets good position assigned it on the
exposition grounds, and then let it be
known that you expect the farmers to
help fill it: Why not get up local
who are willing to grow some exhibi.
tion things or make some butter or
raise some chickens and eggs on the
dry land home places
If you are interested in this matter,
write to the secretary for information
classes and prizes. Premium
lists will be issued at an early date.
The congress is trying 10 show that
western lands need only intelligent
to make the region produce
its share of the world s agricultural
wealth. Success comes through resist
ing the things that oppose one. The
lands that thirst for water have been
the area of the world s greatest his
tory in the past. By striving we can
make western dry land farming the
cradle of agriculture for the northern
hemisphere.
Enlist with us in the cause; and do
it now.
E. G. SHARER,
Chairman Exposition Committee.
