METHODS FOR ERADICATING
INJURIOUS BITING INSECTS
Constant and Concerted Warfare Must Made Against
Little Pests-Arsenate of Lead May be Purchased
Ready Prepared and Is Quite Convenient
Use-Other Recipes.

(By GLENN w. HERRICK, Mississippi)
There are many kinds of insects
that poster the farmer and fruit grow
er and all Of them, taken together
may be divided into two great groups
dependent upon the kind of mouth
parts they have and the manner in
which they attack plants. The in
sects of one group have jaws and bite
off bits of plants and swallow them
They are known as the biting insects
The members of the second group
have a bill or sucking tube which
they insert into the tissues of plants
and suck out the juices. These are
the sucking insects.
The grasshopper is a familiar ex-
ample of the first class of insects, for
1t has biting mouth parts, composed
OF two pairs of jaws, one of which
is hard and black and easily seen with
the eye. With these jaws the grass
hopper bites off pieces of leaves
stems, etc. and swallows them much
as COW or horse would do. Very
many insect pests have biting mouth
parts like the grasshopper and eat
parts of plants. For example, the
caterpillars, or worms" on cotton,
tomatoes, cabbage, ETC., the June bugs,
fg-eaters, potato bugs, etc. All such
insects are known as the biting in
sects.
1t is plain that an insect that bites
off pieces of leaves and swallows
them stands a relatively high chance
of being killed by putting some pois-
onous substance upon the leaves be
fore they are eaten. 1t is absolutely
necessary to know what kind of an
insect is causing the injury-whether
it is biting or sucking insect. This
is the first point to determine.
Probably Paris green is one of the
best known poisons for biting insects
1t is rather expensive, difficult to
buy unadulterated and is quite liable
to burn the foliage of plants If applied
too strong.
1t can be applied dry as follows:
l pound of Paris green,
25 pounds of slaked lime or flour.
The two should be thoroughly
mixed and may be sifted on the

water-for potatoes 200 gallons of wa
ter, and for peaches 300 gallons.
Arsenate of lead is a combination
of arsenic and acetate of lead and is
better than Paris green, because it
sticks to the foliage better, will not
burn the leaves, and remains in sus-
pension longer. 1t can be made as
follows:
II ounces acetate of lead
(white sugar of lead),
ounces arsenate of soda,
so gallons water.
Dissolve the acetate of lead In 4
quarts of water and the arsenate OF

Broken Up.

New York.-On information fur
nished by his sweetheart, after secret
service agents had led her to believe
he had deserted her for another, AL
bert Leon, Russian political refugee
and alleged counterfeiter for whom
the federal agents have been search
ing for weeks, was arrested in the Of
fee Of the Dutch Royal West India
Steamship company in New York city
Leon had just purchased ticket for
one of the ships of that line sailing
for British Guiana. He was taken be-
fore Commissioner Shields and re-
manded to the Tombs for a further
hearing. Leon is wanted by the fed
eral authorities in Los Angeles, Den
yer, Chicago and a number of other
cities in the west. where, 1t is alleged,
he passed numerous counterfeit $40
and $40 national bank certificates.
Efforts of the secret service men to
get clew to his whereabouts during
the many weeks they have been seek
ing him were without result until they
heard of his sweetheart In Chicago.
A government agent visited her and
told her that Leon had deserted her
and that he had become infatuated
with another girl. The girl, in jea[
GUS rage, told the agent of Icons
plans to sail for British Guiana and
of his whereabouts in New York city.
Leon, the secret service men de-
clared, had a plant" on Nootka Is
land, British Columbia, where he did
his counterfeiting. He is an expert
engraver and color mixer, and worked
with only few confederates, 1t Is
said.
Leon is alleged to have perfected a
process by which he photographed the
face of note in manner that looked
so much like surface printing that
many experts declared 1t to have been
printed from etched plate. Two Of
Icons alleged confederates were ar
rested in Chicago, charged with pass
Ing some of the counterfeit money.
Leon arrived in this country about
three years ago, and took up a Sec
tion Of land near Los Angeles, where
1t is believed the first spurious notes
were made. In December, 1910, he
went to Nootka island in British Co.
lumbia, and it is charged that most of
his counterfeit work came out on his
plant there.
The notes of the following national
banks, It is alleged. were counter
feited by Leon:
Riverside. Cal, National bank; First
National, Yuma, Ariz.; First National,
Orange, CAL; Pasadena, Cal, National
bank; First National Of Williamsport,
Pa; Ell Centre, Cal, National; First
National of Portland. Ore; National
Bank of Commerce. Wichita, Kan.
Anglo and London-Paris National, of
San Francisco; Illinois National, OF
Springfield; Blair County National, of
Tyrone, Pa; Crocker National. of San
Francisco.
Leon was also alleged to have coun.
terfeited the $40 United States Buffalo
note and to have circulated it on the
Pacific coast. The National bank notes
were circulated principally in Los An
geles, San Francisco, Portland, Ore;
Seattle, Chicago and New York.

HERO OF THE AMERICAN NAVY

Rear Admiral Melville had won
fame for heroism in Arctic explora-
tion as naval engineer and construc-
ton as a naval engineerandconstru
tor. He was a member of De Longs
party, which sailed for the Arctic re-
gions from San Francisco in 1879 in
the Inflated Jeanette, and he COM
manded the boats crew which es-
capped from the icy wastes Of the Lena
Delta after the wreck Of the expedi-
ton. He afterwards commanded the
expeditions which recovered De
Longs body and the records of the
jeanette, for which services he re-
ceived a gold medal by special act Of
congress But that Is another story.
Rear Admiral Melville entered the
navy as an assistant engineer at the
beginning of the Civil war. A New
Yorker by birth, he had received his
education at the Brooklyn Polytechnic
institute. He served throughout the
war and was subsequently stationed
at various navy yards. In 1887 the

HEADS RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT

Although the active efforts in the
men and religion forward movement
were begun only short time ago,
practically all of the seventy-six cities
participating have reported complete
organizations and campaigns under
way. The general headquarters in
New York city is being kept In close
touch with the work all over the coun-.
try.
The general interest which has
been manifested by the leading busi-
ness and professional men is espe-
cially encouraging to the men in
charge Of the movement. James G..
Cannon, who Is here pictured, presi-
dent of the Fourth National Bank Of
New York, is chairman of the general
campaign committee and he believes
the effort will be the most significant
made by the church In the religious

The Tamworth hog is not as popu-
lar in the United States as it de-
serves. A few pigs of this breed
were brought over from England
about 80 years ago, but until the last
three or four years it was not regard
ed favorably.
= The appearance of the Tamworth
is somewhat against 1t. It's rather
long head does not impress farmers
favorably, and there is general be-
lief that 1t costs more to bring Tam
worth to maturity than almost any
other type. Experiments show, how
ever, that this claim is based mainly
on prejudice, for the Tamworth in
Canada has proven itself to be an
excellent and economical feeder.
This breed is especially well adapt

ed to bacon, because Of its light
shoulder, its length of side and ten
dency to produce a greater portion Of
lean meat than many other breeds.
When the Tamworth is crossed on
breeds of more fattening tendencies,
and with finer bone, say the Berk-
shire, 1t makes an excellent bacon
hog. 1t is claimed by some breeders
that the Tamworth is the best bacon
hog in existence, but this may be tax
en- with grain of salt.

CAN YOU DENY IT?

That the society folks of Grand
junction who play whist and ."5OOo
for prizes commit as great a violation
of the anti-gamblng laws as the Greeks
who play for money is the opinion of
Judge Morrison, the well known attor-
ney, who defended the eight Greeks
who were arrested last week. The
Greeks were tried in police court and
fined sums ranging from So each up to
$25 and costs.
In making his plea for the Greeks
Attorney Morrison denounced the So
ciety card parties at which prizes are
won. 81 read a piece in the paper this
morning. he said, Gin which it told
about a swell bridge party in the east
ern portion of the city. Here the la
dies and gentlemen played cards for
prizes and didn't go home until about
O'Clock in the morning. l did not
hear of them being arrested but they
were just as guilty as these Greeks.
They are Americans and these men are
Greeks.''

KEROSENE OIL AS A
HANDY HOME REMEDY

Kerosene is an excellent lotion for
the external Inflammation resulting from
vegetable ,poisons. 1t should be applied
frequently until relief is had.
Dtphtheria bbing Of the throat
at intervals Of two or three hours, with
kerosene has been found effective in
destroying the membrane of diphthc-
ria and reducing inflammation.
Croup-Kerosene has been used in
Group with success. 1t may be taken
internally and applied externally.
Quinsy-External and internal use OF
kerosene has remedial effect in this
obstinate disease.
Consumption cloth sa -uratei with
kerosene oil bound around the chest at
night, and frequently repeated, will
remove lung soreness, and it may be
taken inwardly with advantage; eight
to ten drops, three or four times a day,
in sarsaparila. 1t has been tried eff
ficaciously as cure for consumption.
Corns and Bunions-A continuous ap
plication to corns and bunions for
few days will reduce inflammation and
pain, and an entire removal of the
corn may be brought about.
Toothache-Cotton, saturated with
kerosene and placed in the tooth, often

a reasonable time and the consumer
would receive the benefit. In addition
to this, the incidental advantages TO
our agriculture can not be magnifed.
After a careful study of the industry
in Iowa, Mr.. Wallace, in an article re
Gently published in Walace's Farmer,
reached the deliberate conclusion that
the culture of sugar beet as it spreads
will revo4utionize the agriculture of
the northern part of the corn belt
and if it is true of this section it is
true of the wheat belt of Minnesota
and the Dakotas and all that great
agricultural section extending from
Pennsylvania westward to the Pacific,
which according to the reports of our
department of agriculture, is adapted
to the production of sugar beets.
elf this industry is destroyed It
will be because our people are ignor-
ant of its Importance as related to our
agricultural and industrial develop
ment.''

KEEPING THE BOYS AND
GIRLS ON THE FARM

To keep the farmers boys and girls
in the country is probe maffecting
every agricultural district in the United
States. The universal opinion of the
farmers throughout the country, as
voiced to the National Country Life
commission, was that the present sys-
TEN of education in the district schools
in large measure is responsible for
the exodus of the youth of the country
to the city; that the curriculum, owing
to its failure to instruct in the spirit
of the farm is strangely influencing the
children away from rather than toward
rural pursuits.
Recognizing fully the Importance of
the problem of conserving for tn.
country larger proportion of its
young people and of directing them IN
childhood to appreciate the dignity and
independence of farming as profes-
sion, Secretary Fisher of the depart
ment of the interior, has authorized the
reclamation service to cooperate with
the department. of agriculture, the va
rious state and county authorities, iu
a practical plan which it is believed
will materially promote solution of
this problem on the irrigation projects
of the government.
On number of these projects tn,
old fashioned one-teacher district
schools have been eliminated and con-
solidated or centralized graded schools
have been established. Sufficient land
has been set aside or donated adjacent
to these schools to permit the plating
of small tracts for planting. A course
in elementary agriculture is to be
taught and an actual demonstration Ct
irrigation and cultivation is to be given
with prizes for the best results. To
further these plans the reclamation ser
vice will furnish free of charge the
water for irrigation; the department
of agriculture and the state experiment
station will supply seeds and expert in
structors. This western experiment will
be viewed with absorbing interest by
the farmers all over the land.

DELEGATES MUST WALK

Denver, March 19..The railroads os
Colorado today settled the pass ques-
tion as far as political transportation
in the state is concerned. At a confer
ence between representatives of all
roads in the state today it was de-
cided to allow half rates to all state,
congressional, judicial, legislative and
county conventions but an agreement
was entered into to the effect that no
passes shall be issued for any political
convention. This means large reduc-
tion in the number Of delegates who
will attend the various conventions
and an increased number of proxies.
If the roads stick by their agree
ment it will be the first time in the
history Of the state that passes have
not been had for the asking for dele
gates to the conventions.
