Field Work.

Scouting for egg clusters of the
gypsy moth was begun early in the
year and was continued until time for
hurlapping. Five bales of burlap We're
used in this work and over 10000
caterpillars were taken and destroyed
during the months of June, July and
parts OF August. The spraying opera
tons were carried on more Extensively
than ever before. Seven tons Of ar
senate of lead was used with the
most gratifying results. The scouting
operations resulted in the finding and
destroying of l.27S,S60 egg clusters and
in this work over 600 gallons of creo-
sote were used.
Forest fires in the western part Of
the state have destroyed a great many
Of the caterpillars. In addition to the
spraying work done by the state, South
Berwick. Sanford, kennebunk, Gorham
Yarmouth. Wells and Lewiston have
done a great deal with the machines
owned by the cities and towns. There
are now known TO be 1S9 towns infest-
ed with the gypsy moth.

wish TO emphasize the fact that
unless larger appropriations are to be
made by the legislature the method Of
work must be changed" states Major
EDWARD H. Philbrook Of Portland, un-
til recently in charge Of the gypsy
moth work in this state in his annual
report which was filed at the State
House Monday. Il believe that we
could get better results by a campaign
OF education and by the development Of
parasites than by the present method
The funds for this work are far from
ample, $4,000 for both the laboratory
and field work, and would recommend
the dropping Of some of the old meth
DDS and the use Of greater part Of
the appropriation for the breeding of
parasites. OF course the experimental
stage IS not yet passed, but enough
success has been achieved to warrant
going ahead with the laboratory work
General Work..
Major Philbrook in his report further
says:
The general work of this depart
ment during the past year may be
classified under two heads, the para
site laboratory department. and the
field department. The reduced number
OF the pests the past year has made the
season very opportune one TO further
deplete the army of our enemies, the
leaf eating insects All that this de-
partment can ask of the people at the
present time is that they pay particu-
lar attention to the spraying of their
trees the coming spring. This is the
most effective method they can en-
ploy and at the present time with the
moth situation so well in hand. spray
ing would accomplish a further reduc-
ton in the pests such that we could
look forward TO an almost complete
control of both the gypsy and brown
tail moths in a few years.
From throughout the state reports
have been received stating that the
flight Of brown tail moths the past
year was anywhere from one -quarter
TO one-half of the fight of the preced-
ing year. In Auburn, Lewiston, Bruins
wick. Augusta, Portland. Biddeford and
Saco the flight was hardly noticeable
compared with that of the preceding
year. In the northern eXtremities of
the infested territory where the brown
tail moth foreboded much harm for the
past season, ii was difficult to find a
brown tail moth in flight.

alleged that fraudulent testi-

continuous presence on the land.
Good faith is the chief require

Upon closing down the drill

Just east of town last Saturday
night, the men employed had
suspicious that there was gas in

of waste down the casing, and
the report came up that gas had
been struck and that their ideas
were correct. T h e explosion
moved the platform and the
frightened men started across

Chas. Barron, who has charge
said gas would be struck by
Saturday or early Monday, and
his prediction came true. The

Some Confusedas
to Hunting Status
Tribune Article Causes a
Furore Among the
HuntSmen

An article in Sundays Great
Falls Tribune relative to t h e
Montana game laws caused a
furore among Cut Bank disciples
of the hunt. This article con-
tended that while the federal
laws set Sept. LIST as the date
of the hunting season an amend
ment or something to the game
laws of this state passed by the
last legislature specified that
only counties in eastern Mon
tana which the Tribune named
could shoot ducks on Sept. LIST,
and that in the western part OF
the state, in which this county
was included, Sept. 18th was
the date.
Druggist j. E. Thompson took
this matter up with G m {
Warden Carruth of Havre, wht
does not seem toput much stock
| in this Interpretation, as he de-
clares that he will be on tht
firing line himself on the morn
ing of September first.

An Intricate Legal
Point is Involved
Question of Ownership of
Certain Crops is
a Sticker

Who is the owner of a crop of
wheat that was sown last year,
on a farm under lease, which
did not grow last year but lay in
the ground all last summer, fall
and winter, only to spring forth
this spring. grow, thrive and
mature into a fine grain crop?
Solomon had little trouble in
deciding the ownership of the
baoy, but the wise ancient
might have to scratch his head
and cogitate if this knotty one
were put up to him. Anyhow,
the question is too deep for the
laymen concerned, it seems,
and at least three or four cases
to decide the point will be taken
into court by local residents.
There are in all about seven of
such cases in the community
but we understand that two or
three have been settled.
Last season being an exccp-
tionally dry on here, wheat
sown in anumber of fields never
sprouted. The owners or tenants
on several of such places did
not plow the land or disturb it
in any way and when spring
came this year it was noticed
that the grain was shooting UP
at a great rate. The grain on
these fields is fully as good as
on those sown this spring. In
case where a tenant sowed the
grain last season under a one
year lease and received no cror
but in the year following croI
from the gain he sowed matur'
ed, there seems to be a very
intricate legal point as to own
ership and seems the court viii
have to thresh it out. T h
Pioneer Press has been tolt
that a case of this kind wa
decided at Billings some tim
ago, in favor of the tenant wh'
sowed the grain the previou
year.

Two Days in Session Does Not Develop Divergence of Opinion and Adjourn ment is Taken to Next Week in New York
GENERAL SCOTT
 SENT TO BORDER
Believed His Mission to Confer With Villa in Elf fort to Secure Conces- siOns from Northern Chief on Peace Program
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

WASHINGTON. Aus. 6.-rhe Pan American conference considering means to restore peace in Mexico ad- iourned after having developed no di- vergence of opinion as to its general purposes but leaving undecided the eX- act course to be pursued. It will re- assemble in New York propably early next week. Meanwhile the Latin
 American diplomats will communicate with their governments and Secretary Lansing will confer with the president.
 One development that aroused much interest was the dispatch tonight of Major General Scott, chief of staff of the army to the Mexican border to con- fer with Villa. The war department refused to comment on General Scctts mission and said if there was any statement it would be made by the state department After a conference between General Scott and Secretary Lansing and Acting Secretary Breck- enridge, the war department said the general was going to readjust the American forces in the light of recent developments which threatened attacks on the border towns. It is generally believed however. that General Scott, in whom Villa expressed commence ana to whom he has often turned for ad vice, will outline to the northern chief tain the need of consideration for the other factions. This is taken to indi- cate that some of the cOnferees are inn pressed that the military successes and extent of territory conquered by Car ranza would entitle him to a greater measure of consideration than Villa has been inclined to admit.
 The two days conferences at the state department and the hearing of reports brought all participants in accord with the presidents general plan which was promised on the fact that a great ma iority of people in Mexico desire peace, which to be lasting must go beyond consideration of those who furthered their plans through force of arms. The cOnferees were impressed that while the armed forces are in a position to keep the country in a state of turmoil they are nevertheless only a small pro- portion of the people of Mexico. While all the participants are in sympathy with the presidents plan to induce the military factions to enter in another peace conference, they have signified their willingness to cooperate to the fullest extent, the South Americans are

The people. however. felt so strongly with regard to the Japanese demands that they passed the word from one to another. and such a serious boycott resulted that the Japanese trade throughout tChina. which is essential to the heavily taxed island kingdom, has been seriously af- fected.
