VALLEY CITY WILL
Be BETTER LIGHTED

The diagram for the installation OF
lights over the city Is now complete
and lights will probably be installed
at once. This will give proper lihgts
to every part of the city. In future
anyone seeing light that is out OF
order should call the city auditors Of
fee and make complaint as that is
the only way in which the trouble de-
partment may know when there is
trouble on the outlying lines. When
the new lights are In place Valley City
will be the best lighted city in the
state, provided the citizens will coop

SERIOUS TROUBLE and
Loss FOR VALLEY CITY

to the trees in this locality than ii
would where these enemies tended to
keep it in check. 1t often all but des.
troys all the trees in the locality wher
it gets a good start, unless there is a
concerted action in keeping it down.
The writer has seen some very serious
losses of valuable trees, both in Dan
vile and Chicago, III.
One of the standard remedies. is a
spray of kerosene emulsion. This is
made by reIting one-haf pound of
laundry soap in a COLON of hot soft
water, then mixing this with two gal
Ions of kerosene by pumping the
whole mixture back and forth with a
spray pump. After there is an emul
son of the material ten gallons of soft
water should be added and the Who'll.
thoroughly mixed as before.
This should then be applied with a
good spray pump, in the form of a
fine spray. II any of this work is
to be done, it must be done su,rned-
lately, as the kerosene tends to ies-
troy the foliage when the growth is
well begun.
1t is hoped that there will be a con-
certed action taken by the property
owners and the town as a whole, be-
fore this pest destroys the beautiful
shade trees of Valley City.

Grand Forks Commercial
Club Starts Movement by
Selecting Two Main
Roads AS Speci-
mems of Road
Building.

Grand Forks, May 2.-The trouble
with road making in North Dakota is
that the problem is such a stupendous
one and there are such comparative
" few to solve it. There is such a
large number of miles Of roads to i'm
prove in each community that it's peo.-
I;le hardly know where to begin. The
Grand Forks Commercial club has
met this condition by selecting two
main roads, one in each direction, to
improve and making these roads spec
linens of good road building. In other
words the attention Of the community
is centered upon comparatively
small portion of the roads and i'm
provement is therefore noticeable. 1t
has been found that where this plan
is followed and one good road is made
that the example quickly encourages
Uoll6l lUduS III luC Dd4dllSC VI luC
county.
Every North Dakota community
should select one road to improve and
should center it's attention upon that
piece Of road for the season. This
road should be graded and dragged,
not once but repeatedly, and maintain
ed throughout the season. There is
little use in mixing good roads unless
they are maintained in the best con-
dition. No use to spend time and
money in road and let it quickly 90
yC pieces. Less attention can we'll be
given to road making and more to
road maintenance.

Insects Attacking Trees in
Untold Numbers Are Work
ing Destruction. Rene
dies Suggested; How
to Apply Them.
BY PROFESSOR N. E. JAMES

As far as the writer knows, no town
in the state, is so well supplied with
trees as is valley City. 1t would be
hard to find a town in the country,
where trees are more respected than
here. In many places one can see them
standing in the middle OF the concrete
sidewalk, where they are in the road,
and are protected, rather than being
cut out, as they would be in most
places.
In spite of the regard and care Civ.
en- to our trees in the past much must
be done in, the near future, in order
to save and make them more beauti-
full. Reference has been made by the
Times Record, Of an insect which in
tests, especially the box-elders and
Naples which line the streets. This
insect is making great progress in
Valley City. Only three years ago, it
was hard to find any specimen of this
insect for class work but now it is very
prevalent in many parts of the town.
This is especially true Of the trees on
fifth avenue, between the Rudolf Hotel
and the State Normal school entrance;
in the Wesley Normal yard and on the
Richie school grounds and consider.
able of it is to be seen in the park also,
This scale insect not only threatens
the trees mentioned above, but it is
likewise attacking the elms; ash and
Virginia Creepers as we'll as other
trees and shrubs in the state. A gooG
example of it nthe above named vine
is to be seen on the house just nortl
of Gray's store on Fifth avenue.
If one will examine infested trees
he will find a brownish scale, some
what disc shaped about one-fourth O
an inch in long diameter. On the 9th
er part of the scale will be seen
: whitish cottony material. The real in
sect is under this scale, describd
(
| above and in front of the cottony me-
| terial, many smaller scales will b
found on the same twigs. From abou
the first to the middle of June in thi
latitude these smaller scales begin t
enlarge and are pushed upward q
the back part by the white thread
which are thrown off from the insect
body. Soon great quantities of egg
are lain i nthis material Often q
high as 1900 from single insect, TIL
young ones hatch from these eggs an
are about the size of mite on a chic
en-. They crawl out on the limb an
soon stick their beaks through tt
bark and begin to cuck sap. The
usually never move after being ono
established.
| In some parts of the country, the,
are large number of natural enemie
OF this pest which keep it in chec]
but as one comes further north, thes
natural enemies grow fewer. TIL
makes the pest much more dangerou
