 porous and beautiful city.
 Principal A. w Youngblood, of the Williams school and 300 pupils viewed the interior of the demonstration cars from front to rear; some of the stu dents wished to go through a second time but as the cars had been crowd cd by their elders it was necessary for them to return to school.
 Edward Hunter, prosperous farm CT of Williams, contribuated q thirty round pumpkin and two dozen fine ears of corn, the only specimen of it's kind here.

 pr. o. C. Bartlett. the able assis- tant state entomologist. gave a very interesting lecture on The Bean Ladybird." This is the most serious enemy of beans in Colorado. New Mexico, Arizona and western Kansas. whence it migrated from Mexico. It Is an interesting insect in that only two other natice species of this fam fly of beetles feed upon vegetation. the normal food of the family being rlantlice, scale insects and soft hcdied larvae. Mir. Bartlett described the beetle as follows: The beetle is oval, nearly one third of an inch in length by one-firth of an inch in breadth, of 9 light yellow to a green lsh-broWn color, and has eight small black spots on each wing cover He told how the beetles eat through the veins of leaves but do not skeIetonize tfem. He advised the farmers to destroy this pest by using paris Gl cen dusted upon the plants, diluted with 100 parts of air-slaked lime or flour, or it may be applied with Bor- deauX mixture one pound to two hundred gallons, but much care must bo used not to burn the foliage which seems to be very susceptible to the arsenic in the mixture. Arsenate of lead would probably obviate this"
