Editor Sessions of the Sioux Falls
Forum is just home from a five thous-
and mile trip through the east, and his
observations on the difference be-
tween u roads and the roads he
met with on his trip are interesting.
He Says: "The country roads in
New York and New England were
fine, most Of them state roads. They
far excel u western roads, as the
road makers of the east seem to be
several years ahead OF the west and
middle west. AS a result they have a
constant stream Of motorists enjoying
the road which are usually as smooth
and hard as our paved streets. One
day we counted the autoes that passed
us in n hour and they counted UP to
156, and that was not an uncommon
hour either. The good roads of the
east and the traffic thereon impressed
the writer with the desirability of good
roads in the surrounding country for
Sioux Falls. No other one thing will
add SO much to the future growth of
the city as to have good trunk line
roads leading out to all the surround
ing towns and cities"

The Brookings school board has
added to the curriculum of its high
school a course on THE Rights and
Duties of American Citizenship" The
Brookings people might have gon far
Their and done worse. While the idea
of patriotism has never been lacking in
our public schools. its teaching has
been of a rather superficial nature,
calculated to arouse the spirit but
leaving the real meaning untaught.
With the adding of the course above
mentioned, and giving the matter SER
ious thought and study, the pupil will
be far better able to realize the why
and the wherefore of this patriotism,
what he owes to his country and what
he has reason to expect of her. The
state teachers association might
profitably discuss this matter at their
forthcoming neutrality-suspicious. Re-

DIGNITY

Mitchell Republican: 1t is the opin-
ion of this paper that the state SUI
preme court should be congratulated
upon it's decision to fine a Sioux Falls
attorney $500 for contempt of court.
1t is not meant by this that it is be-
lieved that the Sioux Falls lawyer in
question particularly merited punish
ment. What the Republican has in
mind Is that the supreme court is do
ing what it should in requiring that a
reasonable amount of respect be paid
to it. Surely a state supreme court
without a standard Of dignity could
not be regarded as much of a tribunal.
If the South Dakota supreme judges
have erred in the past, it is in the way
of complaisance under attack. 1t is
not likely that the members will
offend by undertaking to curb the
right of free speech. No community
Of American citizens would tolerate
anything of that sort, and this the
courts know full well. But it should
be observed that there is a big differ
ence between free speech and wanton
speech. 1t is the latter which the
courts have the full right to suppress.
And it appears in the case just passed
upon at Pierre that the members of
the court were positive that they had
been made the subjects Of wanton
speech.

THE CARPENTER WORM

Geo. Silbertson, assistant to Prof.
SEVERN of the State College, gives the
following interesting information
about a worm that has been very de-
structive in Brookings:
The Carpenter worm is a serious
pest of u South Dakota shade trees
and while not producing immediate
death, it weakens a tree in a few years
to. such an extent as to make it liable
to break over in a high or even moder-
ate wind or become a victim Of para
site fungi or other species of borers.
The pest Is distributed generally over
the state. our records showing that it
occurs IN the extreme western and
northern parts as well as the eastern
and southern half of South Dakota.
We have found this insect attacking
the ash especially, but the elms.
naples, willows, locust, cottonwood
and litars also serve as food plants of
this pest.
A tree attacked by the Carpenter
worm will show symptoms which can
not be easily overlooked. Large I'M
slightly wounds accompanied by a
1sloughing of the bark over consider
able e r frequent results. Tun-
nels extending through the outer bark
and far into the heartwood are always
to be fund running through trees at
tackled by the Carpenter worm. These
tunnels may be as large as half inch
in diameter and at the mouth Of each
fresh gallery there may be seen .
small heap of sawdustlike chips Of
wood mingled more or less with the
e~xcrernent and silken threads of the
borer.
There are four stages In the life his
tory Of the Carpenter worm. (1) the
egg. az the larva, caterpillar or borer.
(3) the pupa and az the moth. The
egss laid by the moth are smooth
sreenishblue objects. eiipdcal in out
line and about the sise Of Z small
black headed pin. These eggs are laid

and especially around old wounds that
are the result of careless pruning,
bruises, broken limbs, etc. Very often
the moth lays her eggs in and about
the holes already made by the other
Carpenter worms or other species Of
borers. The pest under discussion pro-
duces many offsprings, for in a speci-
men of moth which we dissected we
counted two hundred ninty eggs.
When the larvae are once inside Of
a tree, the only thing that can be done
is to remove them or kill them without
removing them. This means careful
and persistent work, but since these
borers are to be found in the trunks
and larger limbs only, and since their
presence is easily detected by the saw
dustlike frass which is continually
elected from their. galleries, the task
becomes considerably simplified. When
the borers are small and still in the
outer bark, they may readily be cut
out with a knife. Whenever a knife is
used, care should be exercised to cut
as much as possible parallel with the
long axis of the trunk.
If the larvae are already a consider
able distance in the heartwood it is
best not to use a knife but rather to
depend upon a flexible wire or carbon
bisulphide to kill the borers. The wire
which is to be run into the gallery
containing the larvae should be made
as Jagged as possible at one end but
before the wire is used it will be best
to remove as much of the frass and
exrement from the galleries as posi-
BILE. All rotten wood should also be
removed with chisel and knife at this
time. After a few days examine the
tree again for fresh frass, clean out
such holes thoroughly and cram into
such burrows a wad of cotton saturat-
ed with carbon b%isulphide. All exit
holes both treated and %untreated
should now be plugged with wet
sticky clay or putty. Carbon bisul-
phide is a liquid which can be pur-
chased from your local drug store. 1t
is very volatile and its fumes are
poisonous and explosive. Care
handling the material and under no
consideration should a fire be brought
near it. At the close of the second
day, the clay or putty should be re-
moved and another day should elapse
the tree is treated further. If
no more frass has appeared at the end
Of this time, the wounds may be cover
ed with grating wax, clay or COW
and a cloth such as a double
aver of burlaps sewed or tied over
he wax. If wax is not available, the
should be thickly painted with
white lead. If some of the heart
wood has been removed with a chisel |
Or knife and a considerable cavity has
the interior of the cavity |
first be painted with white
cad and then filled carefully with
The methods here outlined
re simple and effective and within the
,ower of every individual.
