was declared to be perhaps the most
remarkable death-dealing machine IN
vented in recent years. The invention on
is the work of w. L. Cummings, 20
years old, who confessed to Federal
and municipal officers when ne was
arrested that he had threatened to use
it to destroy Miss Dorothy Bamberger,
wealthy society girl, unless she gave
him 500.
Electricians took the machine INTO
a steel and concrete vault in an ONCE
building. Another part of the con-
trivance, on which was mounted q bell
and an incandescent globe, was placed
in closed room across hall. linen
the electric current of the machine IN
the alright vault was turned on. On
the unattached box in the other room
the bell rang and the lamp glowed
brightly.
In his acknowledged letter to MISS
Bamberger, Cummings sent diagram
of his invention, saying that he would
place suitcase of nitro-glycerine IN
her room and explode it from dis
lance.
The demonstration, say the electrl-
cal experts, proves that he could have
accomplished this. :.
Cummings said the attachment could
be installed in locomotive cabs, where
it would give positive signal if a
train ran past closed block signal.
In war, he said, mines could be ex-
ploded without wire attachment.

The Oyster Shell Scale.


| The Division Of Entomology of the
State Agricultural Experiment station
at Pullman, Washington, gives the
following timely information concern
ing this destructive pest:
The oyster shell bark louise is quite
a common pest throughout Western
Washington and also occurs in many
Of the orchards in Eastern Washing
ton, especially in those of higher alti-
tude. The oyster shell seems to pre-
fer an elevation above 1000 feet or
else where considerable moisture is
present, while the San Jose scale
seeks the localities below 1000 feet
and where there is little moisture in
the air. The oyster shell differs
from the San Jose scale in its method
of reproduction. There is but one
generation of the oyster shell each
year. In the fall, under each of the
scales, you will find produced about
one hundred eggs or less. These re-
main over winter and about the early
part lof June will hatch out. The
young scales then crawl over the tree
and locate on some suitable place of
the bark, where they remain the rest
of their lives. With the San Jose scale
as many as four hundred young are
born to each mother and there are at
least ten generations in the year. 1t
is this difference in reproductive abil-
ity that makes the San Jose scale such
a dreaded pest.
The usual treatment for the oyster
shell bark louise is to spray with the
sulphur-lime wash any time during the
winter. This Fwash acts through the
shell and will kill some of the eggs
beneath. Sometimes, however, espe-
cially if the wash is scantily applied, it
has proved quite insufficient IN check
ing the pest. It would seem as il the
old fashioned sulphur-lime, contain
ing q great excess Of lime, would
work better than the clear sprays now
in use. The excess Of lime has the
effect of raising the scale on drying
and that exposes the eggs to the ac-
ton Of the wash and also to the action
Of the weather. If the eggs are not
killed and the young appear in early
summer. tobacco wash has given the
best satisfaction. Blackleaf, used l .
to Z. or Blackleaf-40, used ! to 20, is
4 dependable spray. Any tobacco
spray has its effect greatly increased
by the addition Of soap, and OF the
SCANS those known as cresol or lysol
seem best
1 If there are no other pests than the
oyster she'll, red spider and aphis pres
emit. the tobacco treatment IN early
summer will be preferable to the win
ter spray Of sulphur-lime.

Graduating Bronze Grass
From Alfalfa Fields.

To eradicate bronze grass from al
falfa fields it is necessary to tear up
the sod by early cultivation, and then
cut the crop before the grass goes to
seed, is the substance of the advice
given in response to inquiries, by Pro-
lessor H. D. Scudder, agronomist, Of
the Oregon Agricultural college. The
professor explains the reasons for this
statement as follows:
"Brome grasses are very active
spreaders through their roofing fsys
TENS as well as through their seed.
So to get rid Of it, two things are i'm
perative.
First, the field should be thorough
~ cultivated as early in the spring be-
fore the alfalfa buds, with machine
similar to the John Deere alfalfa Gull
tivator, until not bit of sod remains
untorn. This will not injure the alfala
ia at all, provided it is q year or two
old, but will improve it, although the
field will look as though freshly
plowed. This treatment will tear out
nearly all the grass, land should be
followed by a peg-tooth harrow to
level the ground and shake the soil
from the grass sod, so that the roots
will die. Should any grass appear af-
ter the first cutting the field should
be cultivated as at first. This will de-
lay the second cutting, but will not
lose you the crop.
"Second, none of the grass which
does come through ssshould be allowed
to go to seed. Cut the crop before
the seed ripens. This can be done
and still give you fair quality Of
hay, or this early cutting can be put
into the silo or fed green. to cows or
pastured off with pigs and sheep"
