Wire Worms-are among the
most difficult insects to combat.
They are the long, slender, whitish
brown grubs found in the soil in all
parts of the country. The adult
insect is the click or swapping
beetle. The larvae transform to
pupae in the fall and remain in
that stage over winter. The most
effective remedy for this insect is
fall blowing. If this practice is fol-
lowed for a couple of years the wire
worms will be worked out of the
land.

A FRAGMENT

One of the young ladies asked the
old gentleman to tell them of the
customs that prevailed among the
old German settlers of the little PEN
nsylvania town where his youth was
spent and as he told of the Hallow-
cen pranks, the neighborhood spell
ling bees, husking bees, cider max
ing bees, the Christmas gatherings
when the stockings were hung up
on the mantel by the oldwide-mouth
fireplace, his mind turned from the
past, resolutely facing the future.
He dreamed of the future of the
new country, where he had located
after crossing the continent, and
as the dream resolved itself into
outline and shape, there arose
the picture of the development of
the handiwork of a persevering
band of pioneers who turned a
desert into veritable garden, sup
plying water, fertility and human en-
ergy, where each had been unknown,
and by this combination adding COM
fort and wealth to the sum total g.
all human endeavor. In the pic
ture were sleek horses and well.fed
cows, waving fields of alfalfa, shady
orchards and purple vineyards, gar
dens OF roses and many other evil
dences of thrift and comfort, all
framed by hills and snowy noun,
tains, and as he mentally gazed
upon the pleasing outlines the ques-
ton arose: What is necessary to
make this beautiful dream come
true? AS he thought of the long
toilsome years of privation that had
gone into the slow development of
other localities, he wondered at
the Impotence which would brook
no delay in the rapid unfolding of
the Kennewick country.
AS the checkered scene passed in
detail of development before his
mental vision, he saw one falter and
give way to another; weak faith
chased weaker faith to other locali-
ties; to be succeeded by the strong
men of positive faith who always
reach the goal for which they strive.
There arose in the picture-indis-
tinct at first but gradually growing
clearer the sturdy figures of men
and women wearing closely woven
garments on which were two words
clearly outlined, II will" AS
these went about their tasks, those
who watched them and saw how
they did their work and noted the
results of their endeavors also took
the motto, I will,'' and 10, and
behold! as the spirit of Il will'' be-
came more and more evident, all
the obstacles that had frightened
the more timorous were overcome.
The dream resolved itself into a
reality. first in small places, scat
tered and remote, then gradually
filling in all the spaces until men
said: 1T is good to behold" and
and the old dreamer said: Every
thing is possible to him that per-
severes.

FALL PLOWiNG FOR INSECT PESTS


Fall blowing is one of the most
eHectlve remedies known for insect
pests. 1t is, however, more of a
preventive than a cure, for the in
sects destroyed by this method are
Tor the most part, in a dormantor
resting stage, doing little or no
damage but getting ready for the
next seasons depredations. This
remedy alone is not to be relied upon
for the complete eradication of any
insect. but as a supplementary
method of combat it is of consider
able value, and against some in.
sects it is the remedy of first i'm
portance.
All OF the following insects, recog-
nlzed as more or less injurious to
various crops in our state, can be
controlled to considerable extent
by fall blowing.
Colorado Potato Beetle. This in
sect is only too we'll known to peo-
pie from the eastern and middle
states. 1t has at last established
itself in Washington. The mature
insect is half-round beetle about
the size and shape of half a garden
pea, and has ten longitudinal black
stripes down its back. The larval
stage is plump. shiny slug found
feeding on the potato leaves and
vines. The insects winter in the
ground and fall blowing will destroy
many of them, but as the summer
treatment is SO effective, the prac-
tice OF fall blowing is rarely followed.
Corn Ear Worm-This is the COM
mon injurious worm found in ears
of corn, especially sweet corn. in all
parts Of the country. When fully
grown the worms drop from the ear
to the ground, where they remain
over winter just below the surface.
The very best treatment for this
pest is fall blowing, which turns
some of them to the surface, where
they are killed by exposure to the
weather while Others are turned
under and crushed.
Cut Worms-These caterpillarsare
more or less injurious to most all
kinds of garden, field and orchard
crops. They work mostly at
night, and hide in the soil
during the day. They winter in
the ground. Fall blowing will not
only kill many of these cut worms,
but will also destroy any weeds
upon which they might feed the
next spring. In this way any worms
not killed outright will starve the
next spring or have to move to
other land to obtain food.
Grasshoppers-lay their eggs in
the fall in the uncultivated ground,
such as pasture land or wild scab
land on the hillsides and along the
road sides and fenceways. Wher-
ever the grasshoppers have been at
all plentiful the past summer, one
should look for the female grass
hoppers, with their abdomen stick
ing down into the ground in the act
of egg-laying. Where there g
many of these females laying eggs in
this manner, the ground should be
plowed in the late fall to turn under
the eggs and thus prevent crop OF
grasshoppers the coming year.
Strawberry Crown Miner and
Strawberry Root Borer-These two
insect pests are well known to all
strawberry growers. The only effec-
tive remedy for these pests is fall
blowing ] of the infested patches.
Plow up and destroy the vines found
infested.
Tomato Worms-The large cater
pillars commonly found destroying

Congressman Murdock's String Of "GoId' Beads

VICTOR MURDOCH, the Kansas in
surgent congressman, not long ago
toured Mexico with party of news
paper men from the states, he being a
pencil pusher when not working at
politics. In Tehuantepec. an Indian
village on the narrow neck in southern
Mexico, he one day wrangled with a
native woman for an hour and
finally induced her to sell him
or eight dollars a string of gold
beads for which she had originally
asked twelve. He didn't need the
money, but he had lot of fun out of
the native woman.
Having finally made the purchase he
was inordinately proud of his beads,
Tor, it was alleged. the gold for them
had been mined from the deposits own
ed by those Indians and the beads had
oeen fashioned by their own workmen.
When the party approached the Tex
IS border the majority of its members
showed little disposition to produce
the various trinkets they had purchas-
I'D, but Congressman Murdock, having
had hand In framing the tariff laws,
insisted on declaring everything he
had and paying duty on 1t.
He had shown his opals and blankets
md silks to the authorities and had
been soaked good and hard for them
because Of the annoyance of collecting
IN such small things. Finally he dug
ap the beads from . vest pocket.

PRESIDENT P0INCARE A REMARKABLE MAN

M. Poincare. Frances new presi-
dent, is remarkable man. He has
held cabinet Office on four occasions.
Besides this his efforts in behalf Of
international world peace have been
recognized by all the powers. 1t is
admitted that he is a statesman, be-
cause he abandoned a lucrative law
practice to accept the position of
cabinet minister at q salary of $4,000
. year. He is an eloquent speaker,
is recognized as a man of sterling
character, has keen sense of humor,
and all these qualities combine to
make him the one man who could

prime ministers.

Is equivalent to the American cent

and no government had been able to

took him to the police station. Mrs.

Leslie insisted that he had been as

Mrs. de Kay. The lieutenant heard
Mrs. de Kay's version of the incident

Later, it was said, Leslie was found

Whereupon Heraldist Hunt buckles
right down to work and turns out a
new-fangled seal that everybody
gazes at admiringly, and tells about
it's history, and how it happened to
be that way.
The coat-of-arms OF Porto Rico
was designed by Mr.. Hunt. He also
designed the coat-of-arms Of the Phil
ippine islands. Again, he is the one
who designed the seal of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, said by
experts to be at once the most sim
pie and most symbolically striking of
all those used by the government.
And, finally, it was he who designed
the gorgeous combined seal and coat
of-arms Of the new Panama canal
zone. All of which goes to show
that he earns his salary.
Besides the seals mentioned, Mr..
Hunt has designed innumerable 9TH
er seals during his Is years devotion
to this subject. And he has spent a
great part of those Is years prose
cutting a search for the great seal Of
the Confederacy, which disappeared
during the siege Of Richmond. Only

and the great seal Is now one of the
most priced possessions Of the Con
