The hot water cure is recommend
ed by many for peach tree borers. II
is somewhat drastic treatment for
the borer. though it does not hurt the
tree. The borers work either at or di-
rectly beneath the surface OF the
ground, around the trunk. The tree
may be hilled up in the form of sau-

destruction of quail In Illinois that the
potato bug is becoming such a pest:
that quail on the table is worth few

DEPLORES SCHOOL CONDITION.
Washington Civic Center, Colored
Organization. Passes Resolutions.

The Washington Civic Center, an or
saniZation of colored people. at meet
ing last night adopted resolutions setting
forth that 1t "deplores the very muddled
condition now existing in our school af-
fairs and views with alarm the assump-
ton by the superintendent that he is as
we'll qualified to represent the colored
citizens in the matter of school personnel
a. their accredited representatives on the
board of education. and to pass upon the
sufiiciency of the reasons that have in
fiuenced them in their official recommen-
dations;
That the admission of such a claim is
dangerous and involves the total disrup-
ton of the school system as now organ
lied: depriVes our representatives of their
functions and invites discord and bitter
ness on race lines a condition never pres
ent in our school board before.
That the custom mau.urated in 1871,
when the board of education was con-
solidated of leaving to the representa-
tfyes of each race the dictation of purely
administrative matters tends to harmony
in a mixed board and should not now be
departed from and that we have un-
dilnned confidence in the wisdom, ca
pacity and integrity of our representa-
lives on the board.
