 On the 30th of January, the Star of Hope published a criti- sism of my vote in which it shame fully misrepresented me, and a few days latt r the Nevada news reproduced the article.
 1 wrote a letter to the Star of Hope and also gave a copy of the same letter to the News and ask ed them to publish my reply. They both have failed and refus- ed to allow me to be heard in their columns in answer to a vile, false and slanderous accusation against me.
 The Star of Hope not only re- fused to publish my reply, but referred to my letter in another false accusation, in which it said that 1 had challenged it to dis cuss with me my record as a democrat on the streets of Hope. This charge was absoluteIyefalse and the editor of the Star knew it when he published the state ment.
 There is a class of papers who say they believe in Publicity and the course above referred to shows what kind of publicity they believe in.
 l will thank you very much if you will publish this letter. Yours truly,

NO DOUBT THAT RESlNOL
DOES HEAL SICK SKIN

When you know physicians have
prescribed resinol for 20 years in the
treatment of eczema and other itching,
burning, unsightly skin eruptions, and
have written thousands of reports say
ing: 1T is my regular prescription
for itching" "Resinol has produced
brilliant results" The result it gave
was marvellous in one of the worst
cases of eczema" ETC.. ETC., doesn't it
make you feel that this is the treat
ment can rely on for MY skin
trouble?"
The moment resinol ointment
touches itching skins, the itching stops
and healing begins. With the aid of
resinol soap, it almost always clears
away every trace of eczema, ring
worm, pimples, or other tormenting
eruptions quickly, leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Sold by all drug.

The alfalfa-seed destroyer, known as
the chalcis-fly, does it's destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the Gulf coast TO the northern limits
OF the United States, according to the
United States department of agricul-
lures specialist who has personally
seen the widespread devastation of
this pest. By harvesting severely in
tested crops, by cleaning fence lines
and ditch banks, and by winter Guilt
walton the grower of alfalfa seed NAV
help to control this insect. A new
Farmers Bulletin, (No. 636) entitled
"The Chalcis-Fly In Alfalfa Seed"
gives the details of these methods
of control, and maS be had free of
charge on application to the depart
ment.
The chalcis-f1y under the microscope
is a formidable-looking insect but
when seen in the field it is frequently
confused with the gnat. These pests
may be seen in great numbers flying
over alfalfa-seed shocks and swarm
ing over the sickle bar when the al
falfa is being cut The eggs are so
small as to be invisible to the naked
eye and are deposited through the
soft. green seed pods directly into
the soft seeds when the pods are about
half-grown. Immediately upon becom-
ing fly, the insect eats its way out
through the shells of the infested
seeds, then through the green pods.
Large portions of the seeds are hol-
lowed out in this manner, when they
are still green and growing.
The infected seeds which still CON
tain the living larvae of the insect
may be recognized by their abnormal
shape and usually by the dull brown
color Some of the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lack the glossy ap-
pearance of normal seeds. The ex-
tent to which alfalfa seed is damaged
by the fly is not generally apparent.
owing to the minuteness of the insect
and because it's destructive work is
accomplished within the growing
seeds. The alfalfa-seed grower can
only estimate the percentage of his
crop destroyed by opening large

the regular seed fields are sufficiently
advanced for oviposition.
This cutting should be done with
the harvesting of each hay crop, be-
fore the seed crop is grown.
1t is sometimes necessary to have
two or more irrigation bitches rum
ming parallel. making 1t impracticable
to cut the alfalfa between them. In
such cases it is economy to fence
the bitches and use this land as a
small summer pasture, thus prevent
ing the development of alfalfa seed
pods and the chalcis-flies.
Winter Cultivation.
In the process of harvesting the
seed crop many pods containing in
tested seeds fall to the ground. Here
they remain until the following spring
when the alternating insects emerge,
although cultivation with an alfalfa
cultivator, at some time late in the
fall or in early winter, will sufficiently
cover such pods and will prevent the
emergence OF most of the adults when
the warm weather arrives.
Destroying the Screenings.
After the alfalfa is thrashed the
great mass of screenings which is left
frequently contains large numbers of
seeds infested with alternating larvae.
If the chaff, together with the screen
ings, is placed in a compost pile for
three or four months. so that it will
become heated and decay, most of the
insect life will be destroyed. Unless
it is possible to treat the screenings
in this manner they should be burned
before the growing season opens in
the spring.
Many of the alfalfa seed pods
along check ridges and fence lines
may be destroyed by burning of the
weeds and alfalfa. This should be
done either in the fall or early spring
In purchasing alfalfa seed, farmers
should insist upon having seed which
has been well cleaned after thrash
ing and should never plant the un
cleared product in new fields.

Harvesting Infested Crops.
An alfalfa field is frequently found
with such a severe infestation by
chalcis-fiies that the grower considers
1t of insufficient value to be harvested
and simply drives in herd of cows
to pasture the crop. With regard to
the control of the chalcis-fiy for the
protection of future seed production,
this is a costly mistake. Obervations
show that many of the pods burst
open, while others are trampled to
the ground. Here great numbers of
infested seeds offer favorable condi-
tions for the Information of the chal-
cis-fy larvae. These, as mature flies,
will infest the seed crops the follow
ing spring. Under such circumstances
the crop should be moved, removed
from the held, and staked. 1t may
then be used as rough fodder; and
If the remaining straw is burned in
early spring the alternating larvae
will be destroyed.
Cleaning Fence Lines and Ditch Banks.
The following facts emphasize the
Importance of cutting the alfalfa along
ditch banks and fence lines, as well
as in the fields:
1. The earliest seed pods are found
to develop on the isolated and vigor-
Gus growing plants found in such
places.
2. The earliest pods have an espec-
tally large percentage of the seeds
infested with chalcis-fiy larvae.
3. The chalcis-fly larvae are able
to pass completely through the first
generation in the earliest IDS before
