wrong method was pursued by the
board of valuation and assessment,
Judge Cochran, Of the federal court,
in his opinion handed down granting
the road temporary injunction to re-
strain the collection of taxes on por-
ton of the assessment said:
There can be no question that the
value Of the part of the plaintiffs cap
ital stock in this state was at least
the sum which the board found it to
be, to-wit, $74,589,451. AS to whether
such value can be worked out by
pursuing the method prescribed by the
statute is another question. am quite
confident it can be If the necessary
pains are taken" =
Judge Cochran required the road. as
a condition precedent to granting it
the restraining order, that 1t pay to
the state, counties, cities and taxing
districts taxes on valuation of SILL
100000, in addition to the amount on
which 1t already has paid as franchise
tax, which was 81, 1898, 200 This prae-
tically doubles the amount which the
road coRtended was all its franchise

Tracks of Apple Maseot.

1t is white or pinkish, has distinct
feet and dark brown head. The
apple maggot or railroad worm Is
much smaller, Is shaped like maggot
has no feet and no distinct head, and
makes tunnels here and there through
the pulp OF the apple. Where these
tunnels run close beneath the skin
they are apt to show through on the
outside as irregular, dark, wandering
marks. 1t is these tracks that give
the pest It's name of railroad worm.
The railroad worm cannot be pol
soned by spraying as can the cooling
worm. The latter is Matched from an
egg laid outside the apple, and must
eat its way into the fruit. Hence 1t
is readily killed by poison spray,
such as paris green or arsenate OF
lead The railroad worm, on the other
hand, is Matched from an egg laid be-
meath the skin of the fruit. The
| young maggot does not enter from the
outside of the apple, but feeds from
| beginning to end within the pulp OF
the fruit Hence it cannot be pol
soned by spraying.
The parent insect that lays the egg
from which the railroad worm
matches is a two-winged fly, about the
size of a common house fly. 1t looks
like the house fly, except that its
wings have dark zig-zag marks on
them It appears in the orchard
| about the first of July and soon be-
gins laying eggs, especially in the
earlier fruit. These flies live until
September, continuing to lay eggs all
the time.
The maggot that matches from the
eggs always feeds within the pulp OF
the apple until after the apple has
dropped from the tree. Then as soon
as the fruit has become mellow or
has begun to rot, the maggot bores
it's way out of the fruit, goes down
into the ground two or three inches
and remains there throughout the fall
and winter 1t does not move after Il
enters the ground, but contracts and
: becomes brown and hard. looking like
a fiaxseed. 1t is from these objects
that the adult flies emerge the follow
ing summer.
We thus see that the infested appl'
, must fall from the tree. and must be
!, come somewhat mellow. before an,
maggots leave 1t and go into tn
! ground Very early fruit will b
fairly mellow when 1t falls from tn
tree and will soon begin to rot. Fror
> such fruit maggots win be emergin
within few days after 1t drops frol
the tree. From fall fruit maggot
y will not come out in numbers for
= week or so. From winter fruit ma
!" COTS will not come out until the fru
has been on the tree from two
:. three weeks. Therefore, we may o
serve the following schedule in kee
ing fruit picked up:
EARLY varieties should be picked !

Kentucky Women Can Cast HaIlcs.


The legislature has extended to the
women of this state who can read and
write, and who possess the legal quail
ifcations of male voters, suffrage in
all school elections
The Appellate Court made perma-
nent the mandatory injunction granted
by Circuit Judge Charles MARSHALL, of
the Anderson Circuit Court, requiring
j. III. Crook, clerk of Anderson coun-
ty, to have printed separate ballots
Tor the women in the county school
superintendent race.
The court was also called on to de-
eide what is common school district
within the meaning of the statute.
The right of women to vote in county
school elections was granted by the
act of 1912, and the decision of the
court is the first construction of the
act The case is that of Wallace NJ.
Bartlett, of Lawrenceburg, against J.
H. Crook. county clerk. The opinion
is of some length. and was condensed
by the court, Chief Justice Hobson
writing the opinion, that IF the leg
| islature should provide of the election
of common school trustees by the
people of the entire county. as it may
do. these trustees might, with equal
force, be called county officers. 1t is
matter of no consequence by what
name school officers are designated, or
by what authority their compensation
is paid, or which or whether they are
elected from what may be called dis
tricts or county at large. 1t is the fact
that they are school officers that
brings them within the meaning OF
Section los of the constitution, and
thereby excerpts them from the opera
ton of the other sections relating tc
suffrage and elections"
