PEST IN THE MURPHIES
Department of Agriculture Sends Out
Note of Warning to Raisers

Warning against pest that threat
ems every dinner table in the land,
and particularly interests Minnesota
farmers was issued yesterday by the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington. It concerns the potato moth
which is said to be working havoc
with the crop in numerous parts Of
the country, and whose ravages threat
en- to prevent the planting of the vege-
table in many places of the winter
supply. The pest is especially preva-
lent in California, says the warning
and through shipments of early po-
tatoes it is being introduced broad
cast throughout the United States.
Experts of the bureau of entomology
urge potato growers to look carefully
over the potatoes they dig and de-
stroy every potato and vine that shows
the slightest signs of the moth.
Special attention, they add, should be
given to the seed potatoes, on which
the subsequent crop depends. Fun
igation with carbon bisulphide is
recommended.
The scientists utter warning
against careless methods in planting
and harvesting potatoes and declare
unless protective and defensive
measures are adopted at once there
will be serious reduction of the
potato CROP"

CALLS POVERTY LESS IN WEST

Less poverty in proportion to the
population is noticeable in western
than in eastern cities, according to j.
j. O'Connor, secretary of the Associ-
ated Charities, who has just returned
from the Seattle conference of the Ma
tional Association of Charities and
Correction. The conference, Mr.. o.
Connor said, was not attended by as
many delegates as when it had been
held in eastern cities but was charact-
erized by interesting reports of re
search work in the larger cities of the
west. Seattle is a wonderful city
for its hospitality, climate and enter
prise" he said.

cidentally pointed out that While the
salaries of the majority of male teach

receiving $1,000.
Lack of teachers is the cxplana-
