NEVADA FARMERS MUST

Utah Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton discovered weevil in an alfalfa
field near Salt Lake City, which had
not been known in this country be
fore that time Since then the insect
phytonomous murinus) has spread
in all directions over large terri
tory and threatens to extend its raw
ages throughout the alfalfa country.
At recent meeting of the Biologi-
cal Society of Washington, Francis
n. Webster, of the United States De
partment OF Agriculture, gave an ac-
count of the life history Of the beetle
and of its methods of diffusion The
eggs arc laid in the young stem OF
the alfalfa plants, and as soon as the
grub matches out it climbs to the
growing tip Of the plant. As the sea
son advances the adult beetles are
found feeding on the plants, gnawiGg
through the bark and killing them.
1t is estimated that the damage done
by this beetle in Utah during the past
season amounts to half million dol

the sad part OF that is not that the
grave alone is unknown, but that
the last struggle OF life, the last hopes

lingering consciousness is experienced
alone. There Is not even the COM

what every man who enlisted in

The Efficiency
of Our u. s. Navy

While Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt

day and declared for an interna-
tional peace when 1t came disguised
as the handmaid OF justice-and not
otherwise: while President Taft rose
In the shaded silence OF Arlington

ror- of war far outweigh it's benefits
to nation. Secretary of the Navy
Meyer was explaining to members Of
the Economic club of New York how
our navy IL prepared to splash brine
In the eye of any competitor that
might happen along.
And the story told by Mr.. Meyer
was brief but OF great interest. II
seems that since the battle of Santi-
tihc management" the percentage
of hits has increased from 81 per
cent to ;sih per cent today-tlis not
withrtanding the fact that the range
has been increased from 5000 to TO-
900 yards. When Commander Schley
moved on Cervera the shot rate was
one In five minutes; now IL is two
shots minute, and our naval eff
cheney Is computed as l,200 times bet
ter today than when Hobson sank
the Merrlmac to bottle up the Span
i-h fleet.
This efficiency. according to Secre
tary Meyer. has been gained, not so
much by the training of men, - by
the study OF men aud their qualiti
cations and the placing of them
where the application OF their talent ts
will do the most good. Some ten
years ago competition in gunnery
was established: ALI gun crews and
gun pointers taking part. To this
the head OF the navy gives credit for
the present astonishingly nigh re
cord, and he asserted to the club of
scientific men that this is merely the
