Eliminate The Corn Stalk BOrer

y
At present the production of
Indian corn greatly, in some sec
tions of New Mexico. Some Of
the difficulties are aSiIy solved.
some are not. However, the one
caused by the presence OF the
corn silk borer is one that can
be easily overcome, since the in
sect spends the winter M the "N
treme lower end of the tap root
Of the corn stalk.
There are two generations q
season. The first is spent in TN"
leafy portion Of the plant and the
second in the stalk itself. On
this account spraying Is not feaS
ible, so we must look u some
other method Flowing is tl"
solution of the problem.
The larvae winter in the stalks
The logical thing, then, IS TO get
rid of these stalks; and the best
way To do this Is To plough them
under in the fall, thus 3urylng
the larvae so that they can not
get out. But since it Is spring
now instead of fall, the remedy is
to plough the stalks up, rake and
burn them. The writer has not
heard of these insects bothering
the Sorghums, such as milo, kal
fir, feterita, etc, but since they
were brought to this country in
sugar cane, spreading from the
southern states growing this
crop To practically every corn
growing state it may be that
some day the Sprghum~ will sue
cumb to the same or greater eN
tent than the corn, Better look
after the corn stalks now, for it
will not be long now before these
p insects leave the stalks"

"BRISTOW AMENDMENT
OR NONE," women SAY
Great Suffrage Leaders Would Never
Have Approved Shafroth Measure,
Mrs. Harper Asserts.

Unalterable opposition to any other
| form of constitutional amendment for
woman suffraG sc than the Bristow- Mon
dell bill il expressed in statement issued
by the Congressional Union last night.
1t is declared that the union was organ
lied for the sole purpose of supporting
this form of amendment as first proposed
by Susan 3. Anthony. In this form the
women are given political equality with
men. not equal suffrage. The ShafrOth-
Palmer amendment is particularly at va
rance with the principles upheld by the
Congressional Union.
A statement from Mrs Ida Hustled
Harper the author on the subject Of
the two bills, was given out last night
as follows:
Il am unalterably opposed to the Shat
roth-Palmer amendment and cannot pre-
Ceive one point in its favor. 1t does not
answer any objection made by the advO-
Gates of States rights to the Brstow-
Mondell measure. but would infringe upon
them even more than the latter Ten
years ago, when legislatures everywhere
refused to submit amendments to State
constitutions. there might have been some
year moro campaigns than can be proper
ly managed The object of n national
amendment is to avoid a referendum to
the individual voters but this one pro-
poses two. 1t would have been rejected

wilson MAY NOT TAKE
CANAL TRIP TO EXPO.
Intimates He May Decide at Last Mo,
ment that He's Needed Here.
Would Then Go by Rail.

President Wilson may not be able to 20
to the nama-PaCifiC Exposition at San
Francisco at the time Of the formal open
ing of the Panama Canal He may,
how ever make the trip later.
The President intimated this Yesterday
to Representative CoOpe-. Of Wisconsin.
Mr. Cooper went to see him to urge him
to stop az Racine. Wis, on his way
back from San Francisco. The President
told him that on account of war condi-
tions he did not know when he would be
able to go.
1t Is known that the officers in charge
Of arrangements for the Presidents trip
to the Canal Zone. are completing their
definite plans, apparently having received
no suggestion that the President may
not make the trip. Consequently, his
statement to Mr.. Cooper is interpreted to
mean that he expects TO go to the canal
opening. but may decide he cannot take
the time to complete the voyage around
to San Francisco.
II is evident. however. that the Presi-
dent fully intends to visit the eXposi-
ton and other cities on the Pacific coast.
II he is forced to postpone the trip now.
he will make II later in the spring or
summer In going by rail he would h-
in close touch constantly with tho White
House by telegraph. and could return to
Washington very quickly. The trip from
Norfolk to the Canal Zone can be made in
five DAYS. and from KY West in three
davs. 50 in the event of an emergency he
could get back to the Capital with small
DELAY. If anything were TO happen while
he was on the water between the Canal
Zone and San Diego. he would be sub
jected to considerable delay.

last night with a prominent attorney who
will appear in his behalf at the extra
dition proceedings scheduled to come up

Thaw refused to discuss his case. When
asked If he intended to surrender himself
to the Concord authorities tomorrow and
waive his rights, he said:
Il do not intend to waive any of my
constitutional rights"
DO you intend to fight the efforts OF
New York State to extradite you?"
My attorneys have advised me not to
