SOME ENEMIES OF OUR SHADE TREES

The leaves of some of the trees in
town have so much of this honey on
them that it has begun to drip off,
making the walk look as if it were
sprinkled with water
This substance is collected by bees
and stored away but it is against the
law for bee-keepers to sell it as honey.
Pure food chemists can easily tell it
from real honey.
This honey-dew is much priced by
ants a food. Ants will cature a colony
of these plant-lice and take care of
them, guard them from their enemies
and lead, carry or drive them to new
feeding grounds. Many bloody battle
has been fought between different col
onies of ants for the possession of a
drove of these so-called 'Milch Cows
of Ants"
The cold wet Spring is probably the
reason We have this pest on our hands,
it hasn't come here from some where
else. A good rain followed by a few
days of very hot weather would help
us get rid of it,
| would suggest and urge upon all
who have Norway Naples which have
these lice on them to spray them. The
Norway Naples are our best trees for
shade and We do not want to lose one
if we can help it.
In East Orange, n. J., where the
city has had to fight this pest the
trees are sprayed with Whale-oil soap.
The emulsion is prepared by dissolv-
ipo ixyin 81 fh@
with five gallons of water.
The lice work on the under sides of
the leaves and the spray should be di-
| rected upward through the tree.
The State Entomologist, Mr.. c. H
Baldwin, sent me this formula, which
| he says is one of the best. "Dissolve
| one-half pound of hard soap, prefer
ably Whale-Oil soap, in one gallon OF
boiling water. While the solution is
still hot pour in two gallons of kero.
sene oil and agitate this mixture vio-
lently until a white creamy emulsion
is formed. To use this, dilute with wa.
ter at the rate of one part Of the emul
sion to nine parts of water. In spray
ing, be very careful to put the liquid
| ol IiloI ouSHly, COSclllS every part Vi
the infested tree and using a fine mist
spray"
| This can be done by any one who
has a sprayer, and the remedy is mex
pensive. l have no doubt but that Mr.
/ Mckinley will be prepared to do it
Or it wouldn't be bad idea, if one
| has fine trees, to own a good spray
! er and learn to use it. Sprayers may be
had at the Jones Hardware Co, al
the way from ninety cents to fifteen
dollars.
In some of the Eastern cities
where continual warfare is being wag
ed against insect pests of all kinds
| gasoline sprayers, owned by the city
are used. In East Orange, and many
others, whenever a tree needs sprayins
the city does it and charges the cos
to the property owner. This, is the
way it should be in the cities of thi.
state. Pests could then be controlled
fir if ten men spray their trees ant
! one man does not the pest isn't de
stroyed and the work of the ten i:

This town has been very fortunate il
that we have had practically no trou
BILE with insect pests and we can east

Baked THE BULL.
Presence of Mind That Saved the Life
of a Little Child.

Of a Little Child.
A regiment of the German army
resting in a country road was appalled,
to see great bull madly pursuing =
little child in a field near by and yet
so far away that the child could not
be reached in time to save it nor yet
saved by the shooting of the animal.
The bull had his horns down, and all
the soldiers were horriied to see that
In another moment the child must be
gored to death. For an instant no
one seemed to know what TO do. and
then the drum major shouted to the
buclers of the band. who stood near
with their instruments in their hands.

aghast.

save the childw repeated the drum
major.
Then the buglers blew a blast at the
top OF their lungs. The drum major
knew that animals of that species
were so much affected by strange and
high pitched musical sounds that they
seemed compelled to initiate them.
This bull proved to be no exception to
the rule.
As soon as he heard the bugle blast
he paused in his pursuit OF the child.
glanced toward the band. raised his
head and began to below madly. The
buglers kept up as high and discordant
a tumult as they could. and meantime
soldiers were running to the rescue of

Before the bull had finished his at
tention to the bugles the child was in
a place of safety.-New York Tribune.

Ant Colonies.

An ant nest or colony arises from
eggs laid by one or more queens"
The developing young are tended by
the sexless neuters. or workers" The
maggots. or larvai ants. are fed by
them, often nourished out of the
nurses mouths. and are as carefully
watched in respect Of the temperature
and other conditions of the nurseries
as are infantile human beings. When
full development occurs the pupae
change into ants. which are either
winged or wingless. The latter are the
''neuters." or workers. They may de-
velop big jaws and appear as the sol
diers" of the colony. Those which are
winged are the founders Of new colo
MES. They are Of both sexes. and they
produce the eggs whence the new gen
erations will be evolved.

A japanese diplomatist is said to
have exclaimed: For 1000 years we
kept peace with the rest of the world
and were known to it but by the mar
vels of our delicate ethereal art and
the finely wrought productions of our
ingenious handicrafts. and we were
accounted barbarians. But from the
day on which we made war on other
nations and killed many thousands of
our adversaries you at once admit our
claim to rank among civilized nations u
On reading the foregoing in the Java

Ponies 1nitiaIS.

Alexander Pope was victim Of his
initials. After the publication OF the
Dunciad one of the poets enemies,
who had suffered a severe trouncing
in the satire. declared that if you took
the initial letters of Pope's name and
added the final letter of his surname
you had his character. The Jest
caught on. and in 1928 appeared a
pamphlet entitled Pope Alexander's
Supremacy and Infallibility Exam
ined." The frontispiece to this now
forgotten pasquinade represented Pope
in the form of an ape. with his head
resting on his hand. and his elbow
placed upon a PHO of his own works.

RY John E. THOMPSON.


About a week ago Lee B. Nusbaum
called my attention to some kind of
insect that was working on the leaves
of a Norway Maple, standing in front
of his house. | collected some of the
leaves upon which were specimens OF
the pest and gave them thorough ex-
animation and sent some OF them TO
the State Entomologist at 1ndlanapo-
lis. In his reply he said they were a
species of plant lice called "Chaito-
phorus aceris, rather large name
for so small an insect, but when we
consider the amount of damage 1t is
able to do, the name may not be too
large after all.
From historical point of view this
is one of the most interesting insects
we know anything about, It's habits
have been observed and known by all
naturalists from the time of Pliny to
the present.
Within the last week good many
people have asked me about 1t and
have told me of trees that are infest-
ed. Within that time | have examined
about fifty trees and have found all
more or less infested, and some of
the minfested pretty badly and peo-
pie who have Norway Naples should
examine them and if they are found to
be infested the trees should be spray

these hatch out into little green six
legged larvae; as these grow older
they develop dark streak down the
back of the neck and another dark

in the life history of this insect is no

way Maple.
| 1t is in this larval stage that the pest
does it's destructive work. AS soon as
they are born they begin to suck the
sap from the leaves. They are veri

tanning what food they need they keep
on sucking sap until their bodies be
come so distended one is surprised
that they do not burst, but instead OF
their meeting with such calamity
the digested sap eXudes through
pores in the body and is seen on the
leaves in more or less transparent
drops which look like drops of dew
This substance is very sweet like
| honey and is the sO-called Honey
Dew" or mythology. In a little while
these drops run together and smear
the leaves over, making them look as
if they were vanished, and here is
where the greatest danger lies. What
the pests eat do not do the tree much
damage, but this sweet sticky smeary
honey stops up the breathing pores
of the leaves and smothers them and
they drop from the tree without with
ering, and while they are yet green

MAKE CHANGES IN
HOUSE CANAL BILL
Senate Prohibits Use of the
Big Ditch by Railroad
Owned Steamships.
(National News Association)

, WASHINGTON, June 17.-After
weeks of prolonged hearings, at which
the representatives of the railroad in
terests of the United States, the steam
ship owners and the commercial inter
ests of the country were given free
rein in presenting their views on the
question, the Interoceanic Canals COM
nittee, of which Senator Brandegce of
Connecticut is chairman, has reported
the house bill for the control and gov
eminent of the Panama Canal, with
number of important amendments.
The amendments made by the Sen
ate committee charge the scope of the
house bill in a number of particulars,
especially with reference to the char
acter of the government of the Canal
zone. The house bill places the gov
eminent of the strip" in the hands of
a Governor with the President empow-
cred to appoint all officials. The senate
bill vests the government of the zone
In commission of three persons with
right of appointment resting in the
commission.
The Rates of Toll.
house bill so as to prevent fluctuation
in rates of toll. Once these rates have
been prescribed by the President they
cannot be changed until after six
months notice by presidential procla-
nation. The bill also provides that no
toll shall be levied on vessels of Amer
lean registry in the foreign trade, if
the owners of such vessels agree to
their use by the government in time
of war or other public emergency on
payment of fair actual value.
The Senate bill as reported also
took fall" out of the section pro-
hibiting railroad-owned steamships
from operating through the canal,
amending the House bill by providing
that no ship owned, chartered, Operat-
cd or controlled by railroad or in
which any railroad had any interest
whatever throughout any holding COM
pany, stockholders or directors, in
common or otherwise, should be per-
Mitted to enter or pass through the
Panama Canal if engaged in the coast
wise trade between United States
ports. 1t permits ships of America reg
istry, however owned or controlled. to
operate through the canal in the
transoceanic trade to or from Oriental
or European countries between ports
of the United States and intermediate
foreign ports, which is 'sop" to the
Pacific mail steamship company, but
the committee safe-guarded the move
ment by inserting an additional res
friction to protect coastwise traffic by
requiring that a railroad-owned ship
passing through the canal must have
al least so per cent of its cargo des-
tined to a transocean port.
