Scientists Believe There Is Reason for Bugs

| people OF Vienna do not like the idea
OF giving any inducements TO outsid.
ers to bring bedbugs near their vii.
lage.
Some of Uncle Sans scientists be-
lieye there IL reason for bedbugs
and II they manage to substantlate
this theory they intend 10 put them
TO work al n more gratuitous task
than that upon which they are gener-
ally engaged
There is a theory that most self
respecting species Of bugs will have
no dealings with bedbugs-in fact,
they VIII not live in the same neigh
borhood.
This theory is based upon two as
sumptions, Tho first Is that bedbugs
are scrappers and beat up and kill
anything else that happens 10 cross
their way in bugdom. This theory Is
disputed by another school OF bug
ology which holds that bedbugs do
not prey upon other species, but that
their general characteristics are so
displeasing that other bugs eschew
them altogether.
II is generally admitted that they
are not accepted in any circle Of bug
society.
Now the department OF agriculture's
scientists have about decided which
bugs do the most damage to fruit
t9ees. These experiments have been
carried on at the Lewis farms for
many months The most deadly bugs
as far as fruit Is concerned, have been
segregated in boxes and bottles.
The bedbugs are to be introduced |
TO these select fruit killers and then
the scientists are going to see what |
happens.
If the bedbugs carry off the hon.
ors Uncle Sam may try to induce |
them to leave their present abodes for
fruit orchards.

Agricultural

no branch Of the United States gov
4N ernment comes so near to the life
of the people as the department of
agriculture, which deals with the cot
ton and other fbers of which our
clothes are made, the focks and
herds we raise, the crops we produce,
the food we eat ana the timber Of
which our houses are built
The closeness of the relation be-
tween the department and the people
is in great measure due to the fact
that the use which is made Of agri-
cultural products receives as much
attention as their production, and the
great bulk OF these products is used
in the home.

departments work Secretary Wilson

New York. This was too much for
the widow and she tried to sell the
farm Among the men to look at it
was Jacob Brig, an insurance inspec-
tor of Hoboken, N. J. The widow
showed him about the place and then
asked hopefully:
DO you want to buy the farm?"
How large is it?" asked Brig.
The widow told him it was six
acres,
That's too large for me-" said
Brig. Il haven't any wife to make
life here endurable and to help with
the work"
The widow cast down her eyes. A
sudden light came into those of the
insurance man.
Say, say" he exclaimed. you
aren't looking for a husband, are
you?"
The widow blushed. Well, she didn't
just know if she would put it that
way, but-but--he might call tomor-
row and she would think about it.
Well, the insurance man did call

next and the next to such good effect

This shocked him so much he had to

 News that threshers had been able to resume work in North Dakota gave cour- age to the bears in wheat. Except Min neapolis, cash dealings, whether domestic or foreign, generally showed a decided lack of vim. Larger and cheaper offerings of Russian and Canadian wheat were re- garded here as chiefly responsible for the backset in Europe. Favorable crop re- ports from Argentina counted also against the bulls, and corn weakness added to the overweight. December ranged between S9ssc and 9O9so. with last sales 9olsc, a loss of 14Gsse compared with 24 hours before. Frosts failed to stimulate any important buying of corn. On the other hand. sell CTS were plentiful and seemed confident that the crop had gone safely past the danger point, although more frosts were predicted for nearly al lthe central states tonight.

 cotton futures opened steady at a de-

 not as bullish as anticipated as frost
 was reported at only a few western
 belt points. The indications seemed
 to be for somewhat high temperatures
 tonight. A moderate amount of selling held the market down around the call. At the lowest the trading months were l2 to points under yesterdays close. Support was given the market on thls slight decline and at the end of the first hour ofstrading prices were to 2 points over yesterdays final quota tions.
 Futures were dull throughout the forenoon. Trading was chiefly by pro- fessional operators. Sentiment seemed Ito be about evenly distributed. Both sides did more or less evening up. During the greater part of the time offerings about met the demand and the result was that fluctuations were very narrow. A feature of sustaining influence was the forecast of rains in the eastern half of the cotton territory. Prices were 1 to points over yester- days final figures at noon.
 The market in the afternoon showed itself quiet. In the trading up to within half an hour of the close of the market prices went 10 to II points un- der yesterdays figures.
