Reading the talk on unruly children

position in which i find myself. 1 am a
sufferer from the worst types of such as
you describe. led on by parents and others
interested, their motive being to drive me
out of the home in which have lived for
fifty years. 1 have paid taxes on 1t since
1868. All the old neighbors have sold to
these vandals at great sacrifice, for they
found 1t impossible to keep on living here.
Rave suffered almost everything except
personal violence. My son. who lives with
me, has impaired hearing and they take
advantage of this. have given up my
lawn and yard altogether to them; my next
neighbor throws garbage into my yard, mud
is spattered on my house. and my windows
nre broken What would you advise me to
do? l am In sore distress and nearly 20
years old. MRS. w. s."
TO me there appear but two courses open
to you. One is to complain to the police and
to the department OF health and see IL mat
ters can be rectified; the other is to give up
the fight and move away. I can understand
hcw hard the latter course would be for
you. and yet II the neighborhood has de.
Perforated as you describe it can be little
pleasure tc you to remain where you are.
Vicinities do run down sometimes and the
old residents are forced to change their
abode. This seems to me the wise plan,
siLce even the protection of the police would
not change conditions. only hold them in
check. and the nuisances would be resumed
as soon as the watchfulness was with
drawn. i am sorry for you and 1 wish I
could offer you more encouraging counsel.

According to advice from Washing

the expenditure through the superin.
tendent of the Flathead Indian school
of the required amount to end the de-
struction of timber by the mountain
pine beetle within the Flathead Indian
reservation in the vicinity of Evaro, 16
miles west of MissouIa.
In that locality, during 1901, but
a few trees We're killed by the insect,
but during 19l1-12 the damage in
creased to about 250 trees, and during
the past autumn 694 trees We're Killed,
an increase of nearly 200 per cent.
The control of the invasion now, while
it is yet comparatively easy and mex
p"nsive to do 50, will save much val
liable timber in the area adjoining the
beetle infested section.
The cutting and barking of the in
tested trees, which is necessary to de-
strov the larvae Of this beetle. is to
be done by the Indians under the SUI
pervision of the bureau of entomology.

destruction and from becoming fire
traps at a large scale, but has pre-
vented any really serious inVasions
within these forests at a cost which
IS very srnall indeed, II it Is consid-
cred that a delay of control opcra-
tons for a couple Of years would have
necessitated the expenditure Of thou
sands of dollars to attain the results
which were obtained by the spending
of hundreds at the incipient stage.
An Example.
Around Mcdonald lake, Glacier ma
tional park, the entire pine stand was
threatened with being annihilated,
hut the proper measures to end the
trouble We're adopted as soon as the
hdllStl D'tdlle apparent anu tle
recommendations of the bureau of en-
tomology We're carried out during 1910
and 1911. which resulted in the eradi-
cation of the evil at a cost of less
than $500. Control work was also done
in other parts of that park with the
same result.
While in the Glacier park the main
incentive for the control work was to
preserve the beauty of Lake McDon-
aid and the saving of timber as such.
but a side issue, the reverse was the
case in putting through the econ
mended measures in the Tongue river
Indian reservation in southeastern
Montana, and it paid well from a
financial standpoint, as an average Of
5000, 900 feet were killed annually from
1910, when the first damage was noted,
to 1912, when the trouble was ended at
on actual expense of slightly over 5000.
This saved timber which reasonably
would have been killed within the next
10 years, and which represents a
~stumpage value of between $4,000 and
Sl25, 900.
