perhaps have already done SO, and
they will fly about mostly at night for
a few days and then die. If these
big moths could be killed before they
lay their eggs the brood next year
would be greatly lessened. But, as a
rule, when these moths appear about
the houses they have already laid
their eggs and can not do any further
harm. The eggs are laid in the ground
near the roots OF grasses. The eggs
hatch out small worms and they feed
on the succulent roots of the grasses.
They grow to about half their natural
size before winter and remain in the
ground till next spring. When these
worms emerge from the ground in the
spring they are very hungry and then
they do their greatest injury. They
will cut off beans, peas, cabbage
plants or almost any other kind OF
vegetable growth. After this stage
they crawl into the ground and pupate
and then come out as moths. While
the small young larvae do some harm,
their most work Of destruction is done
in the spring when the larvae have
attained their full size. There are
four stages of this insect, the egg the
larva, the pupa and the moth stage,

insect do any harm. The moth will
fly to light and in this way many
may be caught and killed but no good
will be accomplished it they have al
ready laid their eggs. Some have
recommended bait of poisoned bran
mash but this is not a very salts
factory way to fight them. Thorough
cultivation of the soil, especially the
stirring of the soil in the late fall or
during the winter, if the ground is
not frozen, is said to be the best thing
to do.
Perhaps | ought to add before clos
ing this mention Of cut worms that
there are many varieties, but the de-
scription of one variety fits all others
with some ariations. There are the
Greasy cut worm, the Varigated cut
worm, the Spotted cut worm, the
Dingy cut worm, the Clay backed cut
worm, the Bronze cut worm, the
Yellow headed cut worm and many
others according to Professor Glenn
W. Hedrick In an article in the Rural
New Yorker, but all are of the same
family According to my observa-
tions the Yellow-headed cut worm is
the most common in this part of the
country.
Fruit crop prospects need not be
further considered in this issue as

THE GREEN APHIS.

The GkEEN APHlS.
While writing these notes l was
called to the telephone by a man who
has set out young apple orchard in
Eastern Washington. He says there
are little green bugs beginning to
work on the underside of the leaves
on his apple trees causing them to
curl up somewhat. He wanted to
know what these insects are and ii he
should spray them with arsenate OF
lead. l informed him that these
green bugs are what are called aphis
mali which being translated into plain
English means the apple louise. No
doubt many of our readers are new
beginners in fruit growing and need
just what l told this man over the
phone. 1t will do no good in this
case to spray with arsenate of lead or
any other form of poison. The reason
for this is that all insects that prey
on our fruit trees and plants are
divided into two classes. those that
chew their food and those that secure
their nourishment by sucking. Any
insect that chews its food may be
poisoned by placing the poison where
it will eat it but the suckers can not
be killed in that way for strictly
speaking they do not eat any thing.
They have kind Of proboscis which
they push down through the outer
coating of the leaf or bark and suck
out the juice upon which they feed.
If the surface of the leaf or twig is
covered with poison they will push
this probosis past the poison and suck
out the juice and never modest the
poison. The way to kill these sucking
insects is to spray with some sticky
substance that will close up their
breathing pores and they will die IN
stantly. Kerosene emulsion, whale
oil soap suds or what is known as
black dip 40 are all used in fighting
this class of insects. Where the
weather gets very hot as it frequent
ly does east of the Cascade range, the
aphides will not do much harm. They
are soft insects and can not stand
hot weather. On our fruit ranch in
the Yakima valley we never spray to
get rid of the apple aphis for the
reason that when the thermometer
gets up to 80 or more in the shade
they are cooked and their ravages
stop. The same thing is true of the
hop aphis Hop growers do not find
it necessary except in very rare cases
there to spray to control this pest. |
informed the man who inquired about
the bugs on his young apple trees
that in all probability he would not
have to do anything as they would
soon disappear.

BID HAPPY AZ YOUR WORK

The man or. woman who does
his or her work happily, with a
song in the heart and a smile on

OF course, it is isn't possible to
hire entertainers for employees in
the ordinary course. But it is
possible for an employer to create
an atmosphere in his factory or

It's safe rule that as long as
a man joins song with his work

A CAPITAL CRIME.

Among the numerous crimes that
Democratic newspapers are laying at
the door of Jbmes B. Reynolds. the
new secretary of the Republican
National com mittee, is one So afro
cious in its nature and so fiendish
in its application that We hesitate
to speak of it and We do so with
bated breath. 1t is alleged, notice
the word alleged" we do not wish
to assume any responsibility in re-
peating the charge-it is alleged that
Mr. Reynolds, while assistant Sec
retary of the treasury, in charge of
tariff matters, made ruling influ-
enced, it is claimed by certain pred
atory and nefarious interests, to
the effect, to-wit, that beets are
vegetables. Dwell upon that for
moment to get the full force of is
that beets are vegetables, Can
the human mind conceive of any
thing more heinous? And yet the
charge is made openly, boldly and
yet there is every indication that
it can be backed up by the docu-
mentary evidence. Vegetables, for
sooth, When every school boy

to say. offhand whether the beet
is mollusc, crustacean or strep-
tococcus, but this We do know,
that they roam Colorado's Western
Slope and some other sections of the
country in vast numbers. and that
hunting the beet is favorite
sport among the inhabitants of that
region. We have never witnessed
such a hunt. but We are credibly in
formed that after successful round
up. piles of beet heads as high as
box car may often be seen. Vege-
tables. indeed, Huh!
And what. one may ask, was the
purpose of the absurd ruling? All,
therein lies the crime, Considered
merely as an act, il might be class
ed as foolishness. or, to be chari-
table, as a mistake due to an edu-
cation more classical than practical.
But ii had a purpose. and an utter
ior purpose at that. says the indict-
ment. All purposes of public Off

was 1903-the indictment is not
quite clear on that Point. The fact
that Mr.. Reynolds is backed up in
his ruling by Webster's dictionary

sense to talk of homestead set

sheep ranges. Any man who would
take a claim and think of trying TO
make farm and raise a family in
that kind of a cowboys corrall
would not only be foolhardy but
would be hunting trouble and would
be sure to find it. The pretense
of allowing settlement under such
conditions as that is absurd and rid
icu1ous, and is. in my judgement.

UNITED STATES
ISSUES WARNING
SENATE SAYS FOREIGN NATIONS
AND COMPANIES MUST
KEEP OUT.

IL 10 CicdIly eNluSut tudl IOT-
eign powers are making strenuous
efforts to gain naval and military
sites in territory which might op-
crate against the outside commu-
nications and safety OF this govern
ment, and one of these efforts was
made by a japanese syndicate to
get land on Magdalena 'oay in low
Ell California.
The matter is considered with
gravity by the United States and
in order that an immediate check
be made against advances of foreign
countries in this line. the senate
has issued a warning to nations of
the world forbidding encroachments
upon territory of the continents of
North and South America.
The United States will not see,
without grave concern said the
senate, any suitable naval or mill
tary sight pass into the hands of a
foreign corporation when such pos
session might threaten the communi-
States"
SO vital were the issues dis
cussed in the Lodge resolution,
which set forth the policy of the
United States as to points situated
ike Magdalena bay, in Lower Calf
ornia, that the doors Of the senate
were closed for three hours while
the resolution was debated in Sc
cret session.
II finally passed with only four
votes against it. Notwithstanding
the comparative unanimity of the
senate upon the note of warning.
1t Is understood the measure did
not have the official endorsement
OF the administration. 1t was framed
entirely outside the state depart
men and it is understood the exc
cutive branch of the government
was not consulted with regard to
the senate's pronouncement.
The resolution arose from the re-
ported attempt of japanese syn
d:cate to get land about Magda-
lena bay. In the form finally adopt
ed by the senate, it declares against
the acquisition of threatening loca-
tion by foreign corporation, which
has such a relation to another gov
ernment, not American, as to give
that government practical power of
control for naval or military pur-
poses.''
Senator Lodge insisted that the
opening of the Panama canal made
it necessary for the United States to
make clear at once its opposition
to the establishment of any foreign
power. either directly or through a
commercial corporation, where it
might threaten the safety of tn is
country.
The committee on foreign rela-
tfons,' he declared, believed it wise
that the United States should not let
situation arise in which it might
be necessary to urge a friendly ma
tion to withdraw when that nation
could not do so without humiliation.
What is the real meaning of this
resolution, as it affects the Monroe
doctrine. asked Senator Cummins.
is it an extention or a further ap-
plication of the principle"
The declaration rests on a much
broader and older ground than the
Monroe doctrine replied Senator
Lodge. This resolution rests on
the generally accepted principle that
its own safety, and 1t feels that the
Its own safey. andt it feels that the
possession of any given harbor or
place is prejudicial to its safety, it
is its duty and right to intervene"
