MOUND BUILDING ANTS

In this western country a large
species of brown ants builds
nests in the open fields almost
everywhere. The center of the
nest is conspicuous because of
mound which is built of sand
or small pebbles which the in
sects collect or dig out OF the
ground beneath the nest. These
mounds vary in height from two
inches to two feet, depending
upon the size and the age of the
colony. The ground for several
feet about the nest is kept scru-
pulously clean of vegetation
which makes the homes of the
insects more striking. The inter
iors of the nests are formed of
galleries, about three-eighths of
an inch in diameter, which con
meet chambers oneVto three in
ches across. In some of these
chambers the eggs and the young
are kept; in others, food con
sisting of small seeds of all kinds,
is stored; still others are used
as living rooms. The chambers
are most numerous near the sur
face of the ground, but are
sometimes built down for several
feet. There are rom one to
eight openings to the nest, us

SOME PRINCIPLES
OF WEED CONTROL

Weeds may be roughly divided
into two classes; those which
grow and spread entirely from
seed, and those which, in ad
dition to this, propagate by means
of perennial roots or undergroun
stems. The first class is made
up largely of ANNALS, plants
which start from seed, produce
flowers and ri pen seeds the same
season, after which the whole
parent plant dies The pigweeds,
tumbleweeds, marsh elders, wild
sunflowcr, and mustard are ex-
amplcs Of such weeds. They are
best controlled by roofing them up
when young, as in hoeing, Hrlti-
waiting, pulling by hand aud, in
some cases, by chemical sprays.
To prevent their going to seed is
the main thing.
In the second class are found
the poverty weed, iron weed, Can
ada thistle, and field morning
glory. Such plants, when once
established are very persistent
and constitute our worst weed
pests. When cut off or pulled up
new sprouts soon appear from the
underground parts, while cultiva-
tion in the ordinary way often
serves to scatter pieces of the
plant to other parts of the field
where they may take root.
The only remedy consists in dig
ging out and removing every part
of the plant, in choking it out by
means Of some stronger growing
crop plant, such as alfalfa or by
starving the underground parts
of the plant. The last method
Is accomplished most frequently
by careful and constant hand hoe
ing and pulling, on small areas,
supplemented by thorough culti-
Vation on large areas. TO be eff
fective this method requires that
very sprout which comes above
the surface be cut off or pulled
or otherwise destroyed.
The food of such plants is man
ufactured in the leaves that
come to the light, hence if every
sprout is cut off before the leaves
have time to get to work, it is
merely question of one or two
seasons until the underground
parts are no longer able to put
up new sprouts.
Anything that kills the foliage
will also accomplish the same
thing Unfortunately most of
these plants are not greatly in
jured by chemicals other than
those that are poisonous also
to animal life.
Turning the infested area into
sheep or hog pasture for two
or three years, especially if the
animals are crowded, has been
found effective in some cases,
such as land infested with the
field morning glory.
In any case persistent, thorough
work is necessary to success in
eradicating weed pests of this
character, and the best time to
begin is just as soon as the
weed is discovered and before it
covers large areas.

lion dollar congress when it comes
to spending money.
Governor Shafroth attempted
to get away with another grand
stand play in the manner in which
he handled the road and bridge
appropriation. He vetoed all the
bills appropriating money out of
tt regular road and bridge fund
and gave out the impression that
there were no road and bridge bills
allowed to become law. A resume
of the bills now in the Secretary
of State s office shows that eight
of the governor pets in the as
sembly were allowed their ap-
preparation for roads and bridges
These pets secured their ap-
priations from the general rev
enue of the state. Joyce of Sill
verton is allowed $4,000; Tobin
of Montrose $2,500; West of Du-
range $4,000; Skinner of Mont
rose 81 400; Pearson of Gunnison
81, ,150; Delta county gets $4,000
and the City and County of Den
yer $4,000 The total amount of
these appropriations is $107, 500.
Of this amount it will be noticed
that Denver, the governor IS home
town, receives $65, ,000-$5O. 900 for
viaducts and $4,000 for roads to
the north. The governor al
lowed statements to be circulated
throughout the entire state that
he intended turning all road and
bridge money over to the state
| highway commission. Instead of
doing this he vetoed the bills of
those who were against him and
allowed those that were fathered
by his pets to become laws, and
also allowed those bills to become
laws, the appropriations of which
for Denver streets and highways,
reduced his own personal taxes.
The claim Of the Demo ratio
Land Board Commission that it
will be compelled to conduct the
land board work with one-half the
force formerly employed is
already disproven by the facts.
One week ago the board met and
after much wrangling ANNOUNCED
the list of fourteen employees
which, it was stated, vas ~ al
could be employed under the opil,
ion as to revenues rendered by
Attorney General Griffith. The
Democratic press of the state
used this as the subject for many
economical" editorials. Since
then, two more employees have
been slipped" on the salary list
One a Mexican whose duty is to
have Democratic influence with
the Mexican population Of the
state, and the other is styled
private secretary to the chiet
clerk The prediction is freely
made that by the end of the yeal
the board will again have its full
quota of employees at the regular,
or perhaps increased, salaries.
No one should be misled by the
claim that the Democratic State
Board of Equalization has increas
ed the value of inter-city propert,
in the state two million dollars
The action of the board is only
temporary; the final valuations
are not agreed upon until October
or November. Last year the Dem
ocratic board increased the valu.
alton nearly two and a half mil
lion at its June meeting and used
the increase for campaign pur.
poses and after election reduced
it to what it previously had been
The reductions were made quiet
ly and not given to the public.
The same plan will no doubt be
followed this year.

The above is a revised state
ment of the appropriations OF the
last general assembly, and no one
is sure if this represents the en-
tire amount appropriated or not.
The state has a population of
something like three quarters of
u million people. 1t will be seen
that the assembly appropriated
over fifty dollars each for every
man, woman and child in Colo
rado. To be sure, many of the
appropriations are indirect but
the intent of the assembly was
the same. There are two items
in the above list that were only
discovered last week, the dis
covery being delayed because Of
the terrific number of bills rushed
through during the last few days
of the session. The two items
are, Capitol Building Museum
Issue $250,000" and County In
debtedness for Good Roads Con
stitutional Amendment $2l ,000,-
100000" 1t was supposed that
the ten million dollar Constitu-
tional Amendment for Good Roads
would be sufficient. Not so, how
ever, with this assembly. 1t sub
mitted second constitutional
amendment which provides that
any county may by popular vote
issue bonds in lieu of all other
outstanding Indebtedness to the
amount of five per cent of its
total valuation and sell those
bonds for the express purpose OF
building good roads. The bonds
can be issued at any time the
people authorize them but their
sale must extend over a period of
five years. The total valuation
of the property of the state this
year will approximate four hun
dred and twenty million dollars.
Five per cent OF this amount is
twenty million dollars. AS the
state increases in its property
valuation the amount of bond is
sue can be increased accordingly.
However, for all approximate pur-
poses the Indebtedness created
by that one amendment should
it be adopted is twenty-one million
dollars.
1t was generally supposed that
the appropriation of two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for the
purpose OF completing the Capitol
Building Museum was a direct ap.
preparation. Not so, however. The
bill provides that the Board of
Capitol Managers shall sell bonds
to the amount of $250,000 redeem
able in ten years, the money to be
used for the completion of the
museum.
There are yet a large number
of bills that have not been exam
ined. These may increase the ap-
preparation considerably more,
and it is likely they will
The irony of the entire matter
comes from the fact that with
the legislature appropriating for
W million dollars, the state has
on hand and i, sight only a little
over three million dollars with
which to pay the bills.
Surely Colorado's last assembly

REMEDIES AGAINST ANTS

The kinds of ants are so nu-
merous and their habits vary so
greatly that it will be to our ad-
vantgae to discuss them in groups
Ants in Houses
Many kinds of ants infest
houses. Sometimes they estab-
lish homes there, but more fre-
quently they are in search of
food. This they find in all
sorts of edibles, and very often
a well defined line Of travel is
established between the ant nest
and some source of supply such
as a sack of sugar or a store of
bread crumbs. The first rule in
such cases is to keep all food
and bits of food out of reach
of the insects. Tight jars and
bread boxes should be used. Per-
sistent trapping will reduce the
pest and often drive them away
from the premises. Moisten a
spong with sweetened water
an@ put it where the ants are
frequently seen. They will col
lect in the sponge in great num-
bers. The sponge may then be
thrown in boiling water and the
ants killed. After the sponge
has been washed to free it of the
dead insects the trap may again
be set. Progress in this way is
not always very rapid, but in the
course Of a few days the trouble
will be greatly lessened.
When the nests can be found
in the house or near it. a number
of remedies may be applied. If
the insects are under boards or
stones, these may be lifted and
boiling water poured on the in
habitants. Nests in the walls
and foundations of houses are
more troublesome. Often they
may be reached with gasoline by
pouring it in the cracks and
crevices. sometimes such sub
stance as carbolic acid or naph-
thaline may be used as repellants.
When ants are in the habit of
visiting a table they may be kept
off by setting the table legs in
cups containing water OF course
in this case, the table must not
touch the wall.
Ants in the Road and Lawn
Carbon bisulphid has been
found to be about the best rem
edy in these cases. This is very
volatile and explosive fluid and
may be purchased at the drug
store. While using this substance,
fire of every description must
be absolutely banished. With 4
sharp stick make holes in the
nest and pour in from two to
four tablespoonfuls of the fluid
depending upon the size of the
nest. y tub should be immediate
ly turned over the nest and the
edges about it tightly chinked
with moist earth to prevent the
escape of the fumes. The insects
are killed by the gas which is
made when the fluid volatilizes
The tub should remain in place
for some hours. There may be
some danger to the grass from
the use of this substance, but it
will scarcely be more serious thar
that which the ants will them
selves inflict. The same remedy
is often used under tagging. but
it is somewhat more difficult to
make Il thorough application un-
der these circumstances.
