streets, too, are 100 feet wide, which
may be another feature that modern
city builders may have copied from
the red men of the southwest.
Houses are built of mud, ordinary
New Mexican mud shaped into blocks
and baked hard. After centuries under
the fierce rays OF the sun the blocks get
as hard as stone. The walls are seam
less. After the blocks were placed
the Indian builders smeared the joints
with mud, which in time became part
of the blocks. The walls of most of
the houses are eight feet thick In
the early days they were often at
tackled by the warning Indians of the
southwest, as they knew that the Pu-
eblo city was always well stocked with
foodstuff. In the city is a cathedral
20 feet wide and 80 feet high. 1t
has two towers in which swing bells.
The cathedral is built of mud, just as
the other houses in the settlement.
The roof is supported by rafters that
would serve as masts in the big sail
ing ships. These rafters the Indians
pulled 20 miles across the plains from
the San Mateo mountains.

is directly traceable to a disregard
very important to keep the flour mill
and all places where grain is stored
scrupuIously clean.
The author of the bulletin has Wis
tied many flour mills throughout this
country, and has made inspections Of
the principal ports along the Gulf, the
Great Lakes and the Atlantic sea-
board and of those in Europe through
which flour and grain are handled,
and is convinced not only that insect
infestation is one OF the important
problems connected with the milling
industry, but also that the present
methods of combating many Of these
pests are Inadequate, and that some
thing more effective must be done if
We are to control them.
The bulletin states that the on1g
practical and efficient method at pres
ent known of completely controlling
all classes of mill-infesting insects is
by the application of high tempera-
lures, and in Kansas where this meth
cd was developed by the Kansas State
Experiment Station, it has been abso-
1uteIy proven that no stage of mill
insect, even in the most inaccessible
places, could withstand for any length
Of time a temperature Of 118 degrees
122 degrees F. Several flour mills in
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Colorado,
Southern Canada, and elsewhere, Lave
corroborated the practicability and
the efficiency of heat as a means Of
controlling mill insects. The b1Ietin
clearly brings out the fact that a mill
which has sufficient radiation to heat
it in winter to a temperature Of 20
degrees can readily be heated in sum-
mer to a temperature of from 118 de-
grees-122 degrees, and that there is
no danger of injuring the mill ma
chinery and practically no danger
from fire
Considerable space is givin in the
bulletin to the hydrocyanic acid gas
fumigation, which up to the time of
the discovery of the heat method was
considered the most effective means
for the control of mill insects. The
mill insects succumb very readily to

It's too bad that a girl who is so

listen to her parents. You heard her
say she was married, didn't you?"
Yes, but 1 didn't hear her mention

Evidently you have not developed

DESERT CITY OLDEST
Rcoma, in New Mexico, Is Many
Centuries Old.
Was in Full Bloom in 1542-Has
Three Story Houses, Outside Stair
ways and 100 Foot Wide
Streets,

ChicagO.-Acoma, the Pueblo Indian
city down in New Mexico, is claimed
to be the oldest city in the western
hemisphere. 1t was in full bloom when
Coronado in 1912 came across it on
an exploring tour northward from Mex
leo. He found the Pueblo Indians do
ing then what they are doing today,
and doing it in the same fashion, and
the houses on the rocky islands that
rise several hundred feet out of the
plains are the same houses that Cor
OnadO's eyes rested on as he came
on the Indian city.
st. Augustine, which is often refer
red TO as the oldest city in the United
States, was not, discovered until 1865,
when Menendez came on Florida while
chasing a French ship under Rebaut-
Years before Coronado found it Acoma
was a recognized abode of the Pueblo
Indians. The Pueblos told Coronado
that their first city was on Katzimo,
the rocky island three miles away,
which is also called the Enchanted
Mesa" Many years ago, they told
the Spanish explorer, the original
Acoma rested on the top of Katzimo.
One day, while all but three women
were in the plains below the tableland,
great cliff fell, destroying the trail
from the plains to the ancient city.
The Indians took this as an indication
Of the Great Spirits displeasure over
something they had done and to pun
ish them had cut of the path to their
city. Instead of clearing the path and
returning to their old home on top of
Katzimo the PuebIos went to the ad-
joining tableland and there set up
the present city of Acoma, the same
city that Coronado visited in 1912.
The Pueblos look at the old city
on its rocky site nearly 400 feet in
the air as a sacred place, and woe to
the person caught trying to penetrate
its precincts.
The present city of Acoma is on
plateau that rises $50 feet out of the
arid plains of New Mexico. The sides
of the plateau, a mass Of brown sand
stone, are almost straight. To get to
the top one must climb a crude stair
way cut in the stone. On top one
will find three or four rows of primitive
apartment houses. These houses are
three stories high and are built on
each side of streets 1000 feet long
The houses follow the line that seems
even straighter than the building line
in big cities, since the houses are all

use the heat method, the hydrocyanic
acid gas treatment is then recon-
mended.
The bulletin states that the insects
destructive to grain stored in gran
aries and small elevators, when once
started, work so vigorously that the
farmer must kill them, dispose of his
grain, or allow them seriously TO dam
age it. Of the several species Of
beetles and their larvae attacking
stored grains, not more than five or
six are commonly found in the farm
ers' bins, of which the two species Of
grain weeviIs (snout beetles or little
bill bugsO, the grain molitor, the
cadelle, and the saw-toothed grain
beetle are the most damaging. To
these may be added three species Of
moths, the Angoumois grain moth,
which is the most serious attacking
corn, and the two meal moths, the
serious ones in meal, bran, or any
other ground grain products.
Fortunately, it matters little what
species may be causing the trouble,
for all succumb to the same treat
ment. The simplest most effective,
and least expensive remedy for all in
sects infesting the farmers grain and
grain products stored in tight bins is
careful fumigation with carbon bisul-
phide. If the building is reasonably
air-tight, and the temperature is above
20 degrees F., four pounds of carbon
Disulphide is sufficient for every one
thousand cubic feet of space, or one
g, -
grain.
Under the habits and life history Of
the common stoTed-grain and mill in
sects, the bulletin states that nearly
all of the more than seventy species
known in the United States have been
introduced by commerce, and the more
serious ones, numbering about twenty,
are now commonly distributed over
the greater part of the United States.
All Of these species are OF small sibe,
none Of the beetles exceeding five
eighths Of an inch in length, and most
Of them being less tkZn on-fourth of
an inch long. They are reddish-brown
or black in color. The moths are tiny
'millers," and with the exception of
the Angoumois grain moth, the work

mills may be distinguished from that
of the beetles by the presence of web
or silk in the grain, bran, meal or
flour. Only two Of these insects are
true weevils, although the farmer and
the miller usually apply the term
"weeviF' to most OF them.
The principal damage to whole
grains is caused by the grain weeYil,
rice weevil, and the Angoumois grain
moth. The most serious damage and
loss in the flour mills is caused by
the Mediterranean flour moth The
principal injury to flour is caused by
the confused flour beetle and the
cadelle, while the serious damage to
meal, bran and breakfast foods is
caused by the Indian meal moth, the
meal snout-moth and the saw-toothed
grain beetle.

pages, and is well illustrated with
fifty-five illustrations. Anyone de-

MILL AND STORED GRAIN INSECTS and
HOW THEIR RAVAGES MAY BE REDUCED
Brief Summary Bulletin lust Issued by Department of Entomology
of the State Agricultural College, Which Treats
in Exhaustive Manner of These
Costly Pests.
by George A Dean EntomoIogist at K s A CT

q BULLETIN treating of the mill
"A and stored-grain insects has
just been issued by the De-
partment of Entomology of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College and Ex-
pertinent Station
Within the last hundred years a
large number of very serious mill and
stored-grain insects have been intro
duced into this country, and since
they have been allowed to increase
and steadily gain a foothold, we now
have them to reckon with in nearly
every flour mill, flour warehouse, eIe-
vator and granary throughout the
United States. The most competent
authorities believe that on an average
five per cent of all stored-grain prod
ucts in the United States is lost
through the attack of insects. This
loss is usually so constant that few
realize the enormous amount when
considered in the aggregate, which
annually in the United States
amounts to more than one hundred
million dollars. Just what this loss
in dollars and cents is in Kansas can
not be given, but with such a large
representation of the insect pests
which infest stored grains and mill
products, an estimated injury of five
per cent is a very reasonable and
probably minimum figure. Thus, Kan
sas, as one Of the great grain and
milling states, has an annual loss of
several million dollars. 1t is with an
idea of helping the farmer and miller
reduce their loss that the bulletin is
published.
About two-thirds of the bulletin is
devoted to measures of control, and
the remainder to the life history and
habits of the common stored-grain and
mill insects. Under the discussion Of
the useful methods of control much
emphasis is laid on preventive meth
