PR opposed PARK
ExCITES INTEREST
East Chicago Wonders How
Best to Improve Much
Wanted Acquisition.

Since Mayor Schlieker sprung the
proposition for the city. to extend its
ownership of riparian rights from the
banks property, its present limit, to
Cline avenue. the dividing line between
Indiana Harbor and Gary, any number
of dreams of how best 20 improve the
proposed park have been INDUCED in
The picture held up to the minds eve
is one which includes pleasures for ALL
embracing the establishment of a fine
bathing beach. good boat and bath
houses. splendid promenade and
driveway pier. 40 to SO feet wide; spe-
cial Fairgrounds for children equipped
with swings. merry go-rounds, ETC. and
shaded. grassy places for picnickers to
assemble in. to eat their lunches. etc.
It is figured that it will be only a
short while before the question of a
dumping ground for Indiana Harbor
becomes a serious problem. If the city
owns the riparian rights. as proposed.
the lake may be filled In, thus provid-
ing the necessary dumping ground. and
at the same time helping toward the
building of a park.
1t will be only short while before
considerable land ca nbe acquired by
this process. together with the natural
accretions which a temporary pier
would bring about.

This he did with all the might he
could summon, though the battle was
so terrific that he was unable to get
on his feet. Once in an effort to do
so he slipped and so badly sprained
his knee that the pain of 1t made him
yell in agony, and he was practically
helpless so far as standing was con-

be the case. for at the end of ten min.

Naive Optimlsts.

though the world were still living In the

Since then there has opened another

San Jose Scale.

J. Il. Barker, Oklahoma City, Okla
Dear Sir: Your report to Benjamin
Hennessey Sec. OF the State Board OF
Agriculture has been referred to me
for attention. From your report ! un'
derstand that you desire that a man
be sent to investigate your orchards,
relative to a supposed infestation OF
the San Jose Scale, and furthermore
you desire to know II man can be.
sent without expense to you. In an.
swer to this / beg TO state that the
Department of Ent. .nology OF this
College has been vested with the au.
thority by the State Board of Agricul.
ture to proceed in accordance with
the state nursery laws and make due
inspection of not only the nurseries,
but all public parks, cemeteries, and
orchards. relative to dangerous dis.
eases and insect infestations.
A state appropriation has been made
for carrying this law into effect, and
| shall commence the operation OF
controlling injurious insect pests and
diseases first in the larger cities In
the state, and especially in orchards
and parks already known to be in
tested in proximity to the state nurs
cries. The control OF diseases and in
sects is a big problem and will cost
the state considerable money at the
least calculation. Therefore. desire
to proceed in the most economical
manner possible.
The laws are such that all persons
owning trees infested with injurious
diseases or insects must proceed with
the control OF the latter in accordance
with the direction of the Entomolob.
! list of the Experiment Station. II these
/ directions are not fulfilled within a
certain length of time. as may be de.
/ signated by the Entomologist, then
the latter may proceed with the de-
struction of the infestations or dis.
eases and charge the cost to the own
er of the property. These charges will
be paid the same as tax on the infest'
ed property. In cases where parties
follow the directions of the Entomo'
logist, the expenses of the Entomo.
logist will be betrayed by the state
| L ne COSl Oh control III every case Will
fall on the owner of the property and
the expenses will be less in all cases
where the directions of control as
given by the Entomologist are fol
lowed.
In your case, advise that before
proceeding with the work of control
ling this supposed San Jose Scale
that you send specimens to me OF
your trees which you think are infest
ed with the scale and | will make
identification free OF cost to you, and
in case II is not San Jose Scale shall
give you complete directions which
may be followed. so that you car
control the pest at the least possible
expense.
In sending specimens OF trees, send
only pieces of bark or small pieces oi
limbs. piece Of bark one inch lone
and three inches wide or a limb the
size OF a lead pencil will be sufficient
You should use discretion, however
and select such samples as you thinl
are infested-C e. Sanborn, Depart
