INSECTS ON TREES
WILL BE KILLED
Capt. Mark Brooke Starts
War on District Pests.
SPRAYING MACHINE AT WORK
Arsenic Of Lead Used to Extermi-
nate Beetles and Caterpfllars
Which Denude Shade Trees-seven
Thousand Elms in City Will Need
Immediate Protection.

War against caterpillars, beetles. moths,
and all kinds Of insects which feed upon
and destroy the foliage and life OF trees
was started yesterday by Capt. Mark
Brooke. who has under his care the shade
trees OF Washington.
A new machine, known as the Fitz-
henryGuptill power sprayer, has been
purchased by the District and with the
aid of this machine and arsenic Of lead
sprayed on every inch Of all trees sub
ject to attack It is hoped the situation Of
coping with the vast army of pests which
yearly menace the trees will prove effec-
tive.
Tried on High Elms.
The machine was tried yesterday on
some Of the highest elms in the city, and
Capt Brooke expressed himself as being
much pleased with the work. A spray
eighty feet high can be thrown. and
where 1t is necessary to treat the trees
in the parks the lead solution can be
forced through 1,s0O feet of hose. thus
making it possible to keep the machine
off the grass. 1t weighs 300 pounds
and is drawn by two horses It has
pressure of $50 pounds to the square inch
and has 400-pound capacity tank About
500 trees can be sprayed with this ma
chine in day and the approximate cost
is "A cents tree
There are about 700 elms in the city.
and 1t is necessary that the spraying be
done at once. The elm beetles. which
hibernate during the winter in old barns
and sheds, will be out to feed upon the
young foliage and to deposit their eggs
in the crotches of the trees. and in a few
weeks there will be a new generation on
hand.
Causes Much Alarm.
Later on the caterpillar arrives. and
this IS the insect which causes SO much
alarm. This fuzzy little worm can strip
tree of its foliage like a giraffe. and
sometimes completely denudes the trees
for squares.
However. with this new process OF
treatment it Is certain the vast ravaees
or the tree insects are at an end The
has been in successful operation
by the Agricultural Department IN the
New England States. and by the Nassa-
chusetts state forester.

DOVRE-LAKE ANDREW FARMERS
ORGANIZE HORSE COMPANY.

A number of the progressive
farmers of Lake Andrew and Dovre
Townships organized a horse COM
pany last Thursday, and purchased
the choice imported Belgian Stall
lion, the dapple bay Due De Braine,
whose imported number is 52.214,
from W. A. Lang & Company of
Greeley. Iowa, thru their salesman
J. C. NARROW. These farmers be-
lieve in raising the best possible
horses, and hence have purchased
this fine draft horse to improve the
breed. Mr.: NARROW is the head
salesman for the company, with a
number of other men working un-
der him. The stock holders of the
company feel that they have reason
to be pleased with the manner in
which they have been dealt with by
Mr.. NARROW. their contract having
been carried out on the principles
Of the square deal. Like the light
ning-rod business. which in itself
is legitimate business but has
come into disrepute thru unscrupu-
lous men in the business. the stall
lion business has suffered much
thru schemers in the. same. But
the contract made by this firm thru
Mr.. NARROW is such that the inter-
ests of the purchasers are fully pro-
tected.
John Nelson of Lake Andrew is

ly all the objections to the stone
raised by those who first rejected
it. The society is trying to raise
the means for taking the stone to
Europe to have it passed upon by
the leading runologists of the Scan
dinavian countries. also to make a
search in French archives for other
runestones reported to have been
found by the early French explor-
ers. When the authenticity of the
Kensington rhinestone is fully es-
tablished, it will be the oldest and
most wonderful record of the visits
of the white men to America. Ism t
it a wonderful. coincidence that a

The last legislature passed one

The last legislature passed one
progressive measure affecting the
civil government which is a great
departure from former laws in
force. viz. the Oregon system of
electing U. S. senators bv popu-
lar vote. legislature to be pledged
to ratify the popular choice in or
der to make the election conform
to the Federal constitution.
1t is reported that many Of the
practical politicians approached
Governor Eberhart urging him to
refrain from signing the same, on
the plea that it will DESTROY party
organization. The law was passed
in the last batch of laws to be
turned out. After holding it until
the last day possible the governor
approved the bill and it became
law. He thus shares with the late
lamented legislature the credit for
HAVING placed this one progressive
election law on the state books of
Minnesota.
Hereafter the people of Minneso.
ia will have the right to vote d.
rectly for their u. S. senators. and
that changes the outlook somewhat.
Several would-be aspirants are
simply swept off the boards as un.
availables. Just now there is a
wave of sentiment reflected in the
local press in favor of John Lind as
q candidate. Congressman Lind.
bergh is also credited with aspira.
tions. Uncle Knute can hardly
hope to retain his seat without q
fight. and it will be somewhat diff.
ferent from the wellknown method
of log-rolling for favorable mem.
bers Of the legislature. The pro.
spects are good for a good warm
campaign.
