COMMON INSECTS.

CIT worms-Cut worms do
most damage to plants soon al
ter they are set out in the
spring. They also get in their
work in June and July, there be-
ing several kinds of cut worms.
The best way to get rid of the
worms is to sprinkle poison bran
mash over the ground about
each plant SO as to extend slight
ly beneath the soil and an inch
or two above will make the
plants safe from cut worms.
Melon Aphls-This is ONE OF
the hardest insects to deal with.
A soap ana tobacco wash is rec
commended. Fumigation with
carbon bisulphid has also been
tried successfully an air-tlght
bucket or ether vessel is turned
over the plant and about a tea
snoonful Of the chemical evapo-
rated underneath.
Striped Cucumber Beetles
Ae soon aS these BEETLES appear
spray the plants heavily every
few days with Bordeaux mixture
and ~arsena9e Of lead. Where on
lily a few hills of cucumbers,
squashes, pumpkins or melons,
which are most commonly at
tackled by these beetles, are
planted, the safest way is to
protect the plants with small
frames covered with cheese cloth.
These must be on before the
beetles get any chance to attack
the plants, and should be
left on until they are too large
for the limited space within the
frames.
Root aggots-Use carbollc
acid emulsion or white hellebore.
Pour directly upon the growing
plants, and around the roots OF
such plants as cabbage every
week from tile time they are set
out until about the end of June.
Cabbage Worms Dust the
plants thoroughly, when the dew
is on, with Paris green and flour
in the proportion Of l pound OIL
Paris green to so pounds of flour
Arsenate Of lead, 3 pounds TO
40 gallons Of water and 2 to .
pounds Of fresh air Stacked lime
may be spray ed over the plants
instead Of busting them with
Paris green and flour. After the
cabbage heads have begun to
form Use fresh pyrethrum pow
der, spraying it over the plants
instead Of using Paris green.
Flea-Be etles Spray the plants
with poison Bordeaux mixture
In order % get the spray to adj
here to the smooth service Of the
plants it ray be necessary TO
add a stieker. This may be
made by boiling together z
pounds Of resin, l pound Of
soda and / gallon Of water, boil

until a clear brown liquid y
formed. This may require from
one to two hours. This stieker
is sufficient for 40 gallons Of

NO JOBS HAVE

Judge F. M. Brown Makes State ment Regarding Patronage
 of His Office.

In an interview with repre- sentative of the PrOspectOr Judge F. NJ. Brown made the statement that he had made no promises for positions in the clerks office or any other appOintive office in the gift of the judge of this division. ] The Judge announced that 1t would be premature at this time, prior to his confirmation, to make such promises and until he re- ceives word of his confirmation he would take no thought of who would or would not be clerk of the court, the position which is agitating the minds of the local Democratic politicians.
 RunlDr has linked many names with the positions; first and fore most Arthur Lang, of the Val deZ Mercantile Co.,, has been thought of by many, who believe him capable and who know of the i friendship between the Judge and cashier of the mercantile cOm- pany. Thomas Scott, a Republi- can. is also spoken of. but it is bought that his efforts for Os- trander and his utilization with the Republican party will bar his selection. Y. A. Paine, a dcp- llty in the office, is also mrntiOn- dd. but as a Republican office holder il is believed he will fall with his party. Charles Hand, one of the most active workers in the local Democratic party, a strong personal friend and sup porter of the appointce and form erly secretary to the governor of Idaho, is also mentioned for a position in the office.
 For secretary to the Judge and Court stenOgraphcr lkcHamburger has the support of the members of the bar without an exception and it is thought, because of his capability and fitness, that he will be retained in his present posi- ton. He was at one time secre- tary to Senator Carter of Mon tana.
