REPORT BY THE
STATE ENTOMOLOGIST
Gives Detailed Accounts of War ON
Mosquitoes and Gypsy and
Brown Tail Moths.

The annual report of State Ento-
rnologist w. E. Britton is out.
A start has been made in study
Of the white pine weevi1 and other
insects attacking pine trees in this
state, but several SEASONS will prohab-
~ be necessary to obtain the data
that would warrant publishing a re
port.
Harry B. Kirk devoSGd a part of his
time in the summer months to 1nveS-
tigating the life, history, habits and
damage of the walnut weeYil, and this
work, except for further tests of REM
edial treatment, has been completed.
He also studied another insect a bud
moth, which causes much injury to
walnuts and often works conformity
with the walnut weevil- One of the
interesting reports is that by B. H.
Walden, who for three years had
made observations on a species of saw
fly, which he found defoliating black
berries in a field near New Haven.
During the past season he obtained
sufficient data to complete his knowl-
edge of the life history of the insect.
The species being a new one, was de-
scribed recently as 'tpamphillus den
tatus'' by Professor A D. MacGi1li-
vray.
Reports are made on the mosquito
plague of the Connecticut coast region
and how to control it, and the out

valuable Information is given in re-

along the coast and how to drain
marshy places where these pests are
bred. The fall army worm is new
to this state and was noticed in Ston-
ington and Groton.
In recounting the chronological
features of 1912 the report reads as
follows:
The winter of 1911-12 was charac-
terized by low temperatures and the
ground remained frozen nearly all of
the time from December until March.
The ground was covered with ice, but
there was little snow.

REVOLUTION IN
TURKEY RESULT
OF PEACE TERMS

Constantinople, Jan. 2-Grand vi
zier Kiami1 Pasha, has resigned his
position in the cabinet and Mahnud
Sheyket Pasha named to succeed the
retiring official, with authority to
name new cabinet if the members
of the present body follow the ex-
ample of Kiamil Pasha.
The resignation of KianiI Pasha is
regarded as the beginning of a, poll
teal revolution. It is known that the
mass of the Ottoman people regard
the proposed peace terms as nothing
short % humi1iating and characterize
as sheer cowardice the decision of the
porte to hand over to the Balkan al
lies the sovereignty of Adrianople and
Aegean Islands.
While Kiamfl Pasha2counseled peace,
he warned the government that he
could not give up $4,000 square miles
OF territory and Adrianop1e and re-
tain his position as grand vizier.
1t was serni-official1y stated that
Mahnud Snevlxet Pasha would at once
establish a military dictatorship to
foresta1I the revolution threatened by
the soldiers on the Chatalja lines
The military party, under the dom
ination of the Young Turks, all along
has counseled a resumption of the war
and has strenuously opposed the ces-
sion of Adrianople.

lands were apparently injured, either
directly by the winter, or. possibly, by
the drought of 1911, followed by rains,
stimulating a late growth which was
easily damaged by the freezing At
any rate, the buds were killed in near
ly all peach orchards, except near the
coast, and many oak trees died dur
ing the drought of July and August,
1912, which were probably injured the
previous winter. A number of 9TH
ers haIf-dead, show signs of winter
injury to roots or stems. The cool,
m DIST weather of May favored a. lux
uriant foliage development on trees,
and after the few hot, mummy days of
June and July leaf scorch troubles de-
veloped on many trees, especially SUI
gar naples.
Seasonal conditions, especially alb
sence or abundance of moisture, win
ter changes and low temperature have
a. direct OF indirect effect on the soar
city or abundance of the various kinds
of insects. The cold, wet spring
seemed favorable to the increase of
aphids and nearly all kinds were
abundant. The rosy apple aDhis:
'AphiS Borbi, was more prevalent and
caused more damage than since 1909,
many orchards being seriously injur-
ed and the fruit stunted by it The
green apple aphis. "a pomi,' was also
common but it causes less injury to
bearing trees than "a. sorbi" and it's
principal damage consists in checking
the growth of young trees in orchards
and nurseries.
Perhaps the most prominent feature
of the season was the great abund-
ance of white grubs and the damage
caused by them. There were many
complaints and several specimens
were sent to this office. Evidently
the drought favored them as they did
more damage than have seen durin &
residence of eighteen years in the
state. Not only were grass fields at
tackled and injured, but corn, straw
berries and potatoes were also dam
aged and in some cases nearly de-
stroyed by the grubs. In a forest nur-
sery near New Haven, nearly 20 per
cent. of the Seeding conifePs and
some deciduous trees were eaten off
below the surface of the ground.

policemen developed an antipathy to
those who used it, and finally police

to have suffered fine, imprisonment,

ROOSEVELT IN RIGHT.
New York worldly


Though no admirer Of arbitration
Mr.. Roosevelt In the Outlook supports
it in the cana1-toIl dispute with logic
and a. sense OF justice that are alto
gether admirable.
AS President, he signed the Hay
Paunceforte treaty which we have
violated and the arbitration treaty.
which we threaten to ignore. He will
not admit that the first mentioned
agreement has been broken by us, but
since Great Britain makes that claim,
he says there is nothing to do in
honor but submit the question, to the
Peace Court at The Hague
On this presentation of the case it
would seem that among men of good
faith there could be no differences.
IF, having entered into a treaty of ar
bitration, we have a controversy over
the Interpretation of another treaty,
we certainly are forbidden to take the
attitude in which we now are placed
by the action of Congress. We must
recede from our position or we must
arbitrate. The better way is to re-
cede. for we are in the wrong.
Mr. Roosevelt is making the best
possible use of his name and his fame
when he arrays them the side of
national honor.
