the Department of Agriculture has 70
say about the damage done by the
seyenieen-year locust and partial
remedies against him:
'Some recent experience indicates
that trees thoroughly sprayed with
bordeaux mixture or lime wash are
apt to be avoided by the cicada, es-
oecially If there are other trees or
woods in the neighborhood ON which
they can oviposit. The most reliable
means of protecting nurseries and
young orchards is by collecting the
insects in bags or umbrellas from the
trees in early morning or late evening
when they are somewhat torpid. Such
collections should be undertaken at
the first appearance of the cicada and
repeated each day.
''r!'he worst affected branches should
be removed. The less injured limbs
may be coated on the wounded parts
with gaafting wax or moderately hard
soap"

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils Of watered stock In
big business concerns and the farm
dollar written into the life Of any
business organization, should be able
to say 81 know that my Redeemer
hveth." but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there il more
water In its financial transaction than
that Of any other industry. There is
as much water In a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines OF industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there Is in a business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff.
ference Is, the water Is In the interest
rate In one instance and in the secur.
tiles In the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development OF the property In.
volved but the usurer. as q rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
Industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and Gus.
tom than that Of agriculture.
The farmers Of America today are
paying s200.O00.00O per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000 .000.-
900 Of fictitious values which the farm
er Ii paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur.
face-threefourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil.
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.

NerO School Building Practically
 Assured

$ the Holbrook school board thu! s week asking that an election be called for the purpose of voting , bonds in the sum of $25, 900 fol 5 the purchase of a site, erection and equipment of a new public school building in Holbrook. The petition carried the signatures ot many of the heaviest taxpayers and leading citizens of the school district; it was placed on file by the secretary of the board and will be acted upon in a few days. We understand that the mem- bers of the school board are un-
 animous on the question of sup
 plying Holbrook with enlarged } school facilities. While the
 board has power to call a bond
 election upon it's own initiative,
 the members preferred that a re-
 quest for the election come from
 the people generally. Now that
 this request has been made by a
 large number of others in inter-
 est, they will probably lose no time in complying with it.
 The action already taken to-
 ward securing a new school
 building for Holbrook will no
 doubt meet the hearty approba-
 ton of a large majority of citi-
 zens. In fact we believe that
 little if any opposition will be
 made to the bond issue. This sentiment of the people toward improvements in educational
 facilities is commendable one and speaks in high terms of their desire for advancement along all lines.
 In order that we might be in a position to apprise the public through the columns of the News of the sentiment of the people in reference to the proposition of voting bonds for new school we interviewed a num- Der of leading citizens this week From the opinions expressed by [ those questioned we believe that i; we are justified in stating that F he sentiment js. unanimously in favor of providing a new build ng for school purposes. Every | person spoken to expressed him.
 elf as being heartily in favor of E he proposition. Il
 There are several questions Il hat must necessarily arise upon a which there will be some differ u nee of opinion. Chief among v hese questions is that of site for D he building. Some will favor the 'cation of the new building on c, he gound adjacent to the old E while others will favor c ecuring a new site, where larger n; rounds for athletic exercises n, lay be secured. if
 The question of site for the tt uilding. as well as any other sE uestions of detail, could be set O ed either by the voters at the ond election or by the school ;. oard.

nara times. 50 accustomed to 2
 Danicy condition in business had
 we become, we had
 almost come to believe that
 that was the condition over the
 entire country. That such is
 not the case has been proven to
 us since we came to HoIbrook
 and it is pleasant to know that
 this town is free from the malady
 that acff1its so many towns III
 other parts of the country.
 Not alone is business in all
 lines good in HoIbrook. and
 money plentiful for all legetimate
 enterprises, but the town is
 growing rapidly. A building boom
 is now starting which is destined to make wonderful change Tn the town before the end of the year. A new school building, two new church buildings and a large number of dwellings are practically sure to be constructed during the summer. A light and ice plant, and a system of waterworks and sewers are among the improvements that will follow shortly.
 Altogether the year 1915 will be a record breaking year for Holbrook, and one that will be used by future generations to mark the beginning of the towns growth.
