Coming Home to R00St

BERT MCINTOSH wants to be United States District At
tOrney. The newspapers of the State have reason to remember
Mr.. Mcintosh as the man who came here last winter and used his
influence to good effect in defeating legislation favorable to the
newspapers. Every newspaper man in Nevada should keep in
mind this fact and if they only will, they can do themselves a
little favor now by using their influence.
The papers of the state are now in full cry against the APP
pointment of Mr.. Mcintosh as I. S. District Attorney. The
Democratic organs are as bitter as the Republicans.
Some o fthe campaign chickens are coming home to roost.
In addition to that his scant gu alifcantions as an attorney are
also being discussed.

Amusing

1t is amusing to read the San Francisco Chronicle and note
the big complaints fired by that paper against President Viii
son. The removal of Republicans from Federal positions is
causing the Chronicle several spasms. The amusing section of
the whole matter is that there We're no spasms when the RepubD
leans cleaned out the Democrats following the Cleveland adj
minstratiOn. 1t makes a heap of difference which party is
bumped on the political stones.
A PREACHER B in California is being tried for kissing a
lady parshioner. 1t was pitch dark at the time and the case
hinges ON the distance that a smack can be heard in the dark.
Expert witnesses are occupying the stand and the young nan
the lady was engaged to seems to have heard it more distinctly
than any other witness and from a longer distance.
THE main trouble with Mexico is that ninety per cent of

pose its life-cycle. So inconspicuous
is the insect itself, and its n Of
working, that a vineyard may be suf-
fering greatly from its attacks and
yet those who have the care Of the
vines remain entirely ignorant of the
cause of the trouble. The eggs are
small, or a dull color, and the female
scatters them about in the vicinity Of
the vines. The borers feed beneath
the ground on the roots of old vines,
usually some distance out from the
base of the roots. No chips or cast
ings are thrown to the surface TO
direct attention to the injury which is
being done. The roots of oDe-year
and two-year old vines are rarely at
tackled so that in the work Of planting
out vineyards the borer is not likely
to be seen. The transformation from
larva to adult takes place within an
earth-covered cocoon that is hidden in
the ground, often six inches or
from the root where the borers feed.
The adult moth flies by day, but in
size, color and manner of flight 1t so
closely resembles some Of the com.
mon wasps that a close scrutiny is
necessary in order to make sure that
the insect under observation is a
moth and not a wasp. AS a result of
these peculiarities the insect may be
abundant in a locality and yet remain
unnoticed by grape growers.
Vines when attacked by the borers
do not often die as a direct result of
the injury sustained, but may become
SO enfeebled that the annual growth
of bearing wood is meager and the
yield of fruit very small.
The peculiar habits Of this borer
make control difficult. 1t is by the
thorough cultivation of vineyards that
the greatest good is likely to be ac-
complished In the way of reducing the
ravages Of the insect. From the
middle Of June to the last of July the
insects are Transforming from the
borer to the adult stage within
cocoons, which are located just be-
meath the surface of the ground near
the g~rapevines. If during this period
the ground about the vines is thor
oughly cultivated, most Of these
o will be destroyed. The
o are usually found a foot or
more away from the vines, a fact thst
enables the c~ultivator to reach most
of them without working up entirely
to the vine, which is sometimes diff
cult to do. AS a matter, of course
cultivation will give the vines in
creased vigor enabling them the more
readily to withstand and overcome
the attacks Of the %root-borers and
other insects.

PROTECTION FOR ALL FRUITS
Improved Method of Ripening Is to In
close In Paper Sack-French
Make Success.

Pears, apples and grapes, inclosed
in paper sacks when of one-third size,
will protect the fruit thus treated from
being worm-eaten. To prevent the moth
from laying its eggs into calix of the
flowers when in bloom, the trees and
vines should be sprayed with copper
sulphate solution before buds swell,
and with the bordeaux mixture and
paris green after the blossoms have
formed, but before they open. Hender-
son an authority, says: Never spray
with insecticides and fungicides when
trees are in full flower; it kills the
bees and seriously Injuries pollination."
"We have sacked fruits for some years
and find that the fruits thus sacked re-
main sound and have a superior color
and flavor and are s%weeter," says a
writer in the Baltimore American. "Ap-
pies and pears color beautifully;
grapes not only ripen fully, but have a
fine sugary flavor and are covered with
a rich bloom. The French o~rchardists
have had great success in growing
fruit for market and for exhibition pur-
poses"
NJ. Lubimenko, an authority, who has
made a study Of this method, says:
That il the fruit has light and air at
the beginning of it's formation, it a
afterwards thrive In darkness. If wheat
in flower in full bloom is put in sacks,
| the ears thus inclosed give the normal
number OF grains only, but in many
fruits a superior quality is obtained by
~obscuring. more or less, according to
the species, the light that they receive
after they are once formed"
Interesting experiments can be made
by inclosing the fruits with different
thickness of paper. The attenuation OF
light would have the effect, besides or
diminishing the acidity of fruits. We
have used thin paper sacks; grocers'
tea and sugar bags of one and two
pound capacity, have proven satisfac-
tory; the paper Is not too thick to OBJ
scure the light and heat of the sun,
but is thick enough to resist the sum
mer showers.

PREVENT DISEASE OF POTATO
Proper Storage VIII Control Fusarium
or Dry-Rot-Cellars Should
BE Dry and Cool.
(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. G.. MISUNDERSTOOD
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the proper storage of po-
tatoes. Not alone should this empha-
sis be placed because proper storage
controls the Fusarium or dry-rot and
other diseases, but because the vital
ity of the seed is such as important
factor in potato production that 1t
should never be overlooked. There is,
in the opinion of the writer, no other
single factor so important to the po-
tato industry. Proper storage pre-
vents the progress Of the disease as
a dry-rot. Spraying will not control
the disease.
Storage litter and sick seed should
not be allowed to reach the manure
pile, as this will be a sure method of
distributing the disease and injecting
the fields.
A seed plot on nen-infected soil
planted with carefully selected healthy
seed will offer a ear of getting a
sound seed supply.
Whenever potatoes are placed In a
warm, damp storage they go to
pieces; the fungus often showing on
the surface as patches Of a white,
moldy growth. In damp storage, bac-
terra early become associated with
the Fusarium disease, causing wet,
soft rots. Storage cellars should be
kept cool, dry, and well drained.
Burying (pitting) in the field is more
satisfactory than most cellar storage
for seed purposes.

ENEMY OF THE GRAPE
oot-Borer Is Widely Distributed
About Country.
Insects Belong to Family of Clear
Winged Moths, Greatly Resem-

of Doing Much Harm.
CBy f. z. BRooKS.1

- ~H
The grapevine root-borer has been
recognized as an enemy of the grape
in the United States for more than
fifty years. 1t is quite widely dis
tributed. having been observed as far
north and west as Minnesota and
Missouri, and south and east through
Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and
North Carolina.
Several writer's upon economic ento-
mology have given brief accounts of
this insect, but it has not often at
tracted special attention, and has
scarcely been accorded notice in sew
eral of the papers published relating
to the insect enemies of the grape in
the eastern states. 1t is capable, how
ever, of doing serious damage to
%grapevines and the slight attention
which it has received in the past is

appearance and habits of the insect

with a they were afraid of II, and
they never could keep things hot until
ready to serve. These were two very
serious objections; but these troubles
have been righted by degrees, until
the gas stove now has more friends
than the upright piano. With a neat
two-story gas range in a good kitchen
like this, a small family can manage
very nicely without a dining room.
They can imagine themselves living
in the last century, II they want to;
but the fact is that a good many
houses are being built at the present
time, in which the cooking and eating
must be done in n and the same
room.
This also helps to solve the cottage
or bungalow question. A great many
city women are accustomed to living
in flats. They have learned to like
the plan of having all the rooms on
one floor; it saves climbing up and
down stairs. The difficulty, however,
has always been to get rooms enough.
You cannot spread out very far In a
fiat, and you cannot spread a cottage
house very wide without running into
considerable expense. This is what
led architects to turn back about a
hundred years to first principles, and
reinstate the combination dining roor
and kitchen.
This house plan, as drawn, does not
provide for a cellar; but there is no
objection to having a good cellar put
