NEW lNsEcTICiDE.
Arssnats Of Calcium Effective Against
Chewing insects on Fruit Trees.
Prepared BY United States department Of
Agriculture

Chewing Insects on Fruit Trees.
Prepared BY United States department of
agricultural
As result of extensive tests with
different Insecticides the entomologists
OF the department have found that
calcium arsenate, a new inSecticide,
gives very promising results in the
control of certain insects that do dam
age by chewing on fruit trees. Among
the chewing insects against which the
arsenate of calcium proved effective
in laboratory and field tests conducted
at Benton Harbor. Mich, are the c,tl
ling moth, the fall webworm, the tent
caterpillar and the tussock moth.
In these tests the effects Of arsenate
OF calcium, both alone and combined
with limc-sulphur solution, Were test
ed IN comparison with arsenate Of
lead alone and in combination with
tlime.Eulphur. The atsenate Of calcium
as was the arsenate Of lead, was used
at the rate Of two pounds to each fifty
gallons OF water. In all the expert
ments the arsenate Of calcium gave
very satisfactory results In killing the
larvae without burning the foliage. In
4 number of cases its killing action
was somewhat slower than, but COM
pared favorably with, the arsenate of
lead. Since 1t can be produced more
cheaply than the lead arsennte it would
xppear to have distinct value, although
1t has not been sufficiently tested to
permit recommending II unreservedly
for general use. Where arsenate of
calcium was combined with lime-sul-
phur 1t was, as Il rule, even more eff
feetive as poisoning agent than when
used alone and did not lessen the value
Of the latter as fungicide. When
these compounds are combined the
amount of foliage consumed by the
larvae is less than where the arsenate
Of calcium Is used alone. In tests IN
1914 a commercial arsenate OF calcium
Daste), arsenic oxide 1882 per cent,
with lime-sulphur solution gave very

Roosevelt has in two states refused

Roosevelt has in two states refused
to permit his name to go on the presi-
dental primary ballot either as Re-
publican or Progressive yet most OBJ
servers agree that the trend Of
events is to make Roosevelt the Re.
publican nominee this year. The
Republican leaders do not want him
and the rank and file turn to him only
as strong man in crisis is always
sought. Roosevelt ought not to be
the Republican candidate; by every
law of logic and by all the force OF
precedent the Republican voters
ought not to be willing to support
him, yet as the days pass it looks
more and more like Roosevelt. Even
+, the hostile New York newspapers
who have fought Roosevelt for years
are now saying that his nomination

The orchard at the side grows the choicest fruits and there are scattered coops for the hens and the little chicks. Bee hives against the back fence pro- duceS the choicest honey, while surrounding the place, on both sides of the road are bountiful crops of cotton, corn, oats, sor- ghum, sweet potatoes, alfalfa and peanuts, while the wooded pasture encloses his horses, cows, hogs and sheep. Content ment reigns, ana during the long winter nights the family gather around the huge fireplace to eat hickory nuts, walnuts, pop corn and peanuts gathered bounte- ously during the harvest season. Ours is, or ought to be happy and contented people. for truly nature has supplied us with everything that makes for peace and plenty.

NEVADA COUNTY
An Ideal Place to Live, Abounding in Natural Resources and Inhabitated
 By Progressive People

The people of Nevada county are proud of their country, and they have a right to be. While small in area, 1t is one of the biggest counties in many res poets of any in the state. It has the biggest hearted people in the world, and a display of it's products reveals that it can raise the biggest ears of corn, the biggest sweet potatoes, the big gest watermelons and as much grain to the acre as any of the richer counties of the South.
 While the county cannot add one cubit to it's statue, it is rap idly adding to it's population and to it's wealth. In 1880 it's popu- lation was only 12,958. In 1910, the federal census gave the coun- ty 1884, and an estimated pop ulation, based on the school cen sus of last year, gives it nearly 23,000 people. From $1,760,065 in 1900 the value of farm prop erty in Nevada county increased to $3.808 438 in 1910, a gain of over 100 per cent.
 Here we are blessed with all the advantages of other states in the matter of natural resour- ces. such as black soil, fertile and productive, good water. good roads, a delightful climate, with all bad features, such as cold winters, blistering hot summers, destructive floods and death dealing cyclones, left out.
 @e have a quiet, law-abiding people, and are generously sup piled with good schools and churches. Children are reared under good influences and have the environments that make for strong characters.

denotes the sterling character of the man, and in all things he dis plays this splended attribute.
 He expects to meet the most of the voters on the canvass when the candidates for judge and representative engage in their joint debate during the next two weeks, and yea will have an opportunity to hear him.
 He is a most affable gentle man, stands high in the com munities where he is best known, is fully qualified in every way for the position, and is deserving of your most earnest consider ation. He has strong follow ing who will labor zealously for his election. and who feels tat he is the best qualified man for the place.
 He promises, if elected, to serve you honestly and faithfully and is the kind of man who will appreciate your vote and support.

pal town of the county, there are many small places throughout it's interior that are rapidly building up into substantial places, and in many of them con- siderable business is transacted.
 It's public buildings will com pare favorably with any in the state. It's magnificent S70,OOO court house Is a structure that we are proud of. Both it's ex- terior and interior is modern and beautiful. It's arrangement is convenient and will stand for years to come as an adequate structure in which to transact the business of the county.
 Crops are bountiful, and mar keting is easy.
 Nevada county roads are in excellent condition. Much sub stantial work has been done in improving the thoroughfares during recent years, and there is a movement on foot now to create improvement districts un- der the Alexander law by which districts may be bonded to se- cure funds with which to build more permanent and substantial roads through the county. Good roads of recent years has be- come a hobby with many people and Nevada county has caught the spirit of the age along this line.
 The farm life of the county is an ideal one. Here it is possible for every one to own their own plantation. It may be small, or it may consist of hundreds of acres, but sufficient to make a comfortable income for the fam fly. Nice homes dot the county, with substantial barns surround ing. There is a meadow nearby

Candidate for Representative in
 the Next Legislature

To the voters of Nevada County:
 Since my announcement last wee k for representative, the as- Sel .on l made as to the great derand fer some one to run against my opponent. has been Ioubly suLs,antiated, in that I have received scores of letters and lave had numerous calls over the telephone assuring mo that l would be elected beyond anl reasonable doubt. Now, my friends, there is a reason for this. When you send a man to the legislature you expect him to carry out the wishes of a ma. Jority of the people, and not be subseryient to the will of a few.
 They expect, and rightly so, for him to stand for them against thepowerful corporations. Has my opponent done this?
 They expect him to be their servant, and if there is doubt as to the 'advisability of a law. the people are entitled to that doubt. A servant is one who does the bidding of his master the people and not one who says. this is good law, take it.
 Has my opponent acted as ser want in making some laws for this county, or has he acted as master? l promise you that if am your representative I will at all times be willing 10 abide by the will of the majority. I will undertake to pass no law that will not meet with the approval of the masses. 1 shall meet you, or as many of you as possible, while making the joint canvass, and tell you a few of the things I stand for. want my friends over the county to become interested in my race and help me to win by the largest majority of any candidate for this office in years.
 thank you for past favors and for the encouragement you are giving me in this race. Should be elected l will be your servant at all times.
 Your friend,
 C. B. Andrews.

MORAL TONE OF
PAPERS BETTER
Louis Wiley Tells Ad Men Ad-
herence to Truth AS
sures Success.

Philadelphia June 29.-'This conven-
ton OF men interested In advertising and
its development forms an impressive
picture to the eye. and makes an appeal
to the intelligence as a demonstration
OF the advance advertising has made and
of Its importance in the activities of the
day." said Louis Wiley, of the New York
Times, before the general session of the
convention this morning. ut is an ex-
preston Of powerful force and OF an
effective instrument for the welfare of
humanity.
Advertising men no longer debate
whether doubtful advertising matter is
worthy of consideration. There was a
time when. with few notable exceptions,
newspapers took almost everything that
came their way. The possibility of an
advertisement containing a proposition
injurious to the public veal did not occur
to publishers, or they may have thought
1t absurd and unbusinesslike to divert
money from their exchequers.
To-day not only is there vigorous op-
position to questionable advertising on
the part of advertisers. publishers and
managers; vigilant committees have been
formed to bring offenders to the bar OF
Justice. To the growing and future gen
erations 1t will appear an extraordinary
act of stultihcation that a newspaper
publisher who expounds the most perfect
system of ethics and warmly applies its
principles to his own conduct should in
one column OF the newspaper dwell with
enthusiasm on the practice of all the vir-
tues and In another help a fraudulent
enterprise to achieve its object.
1T Is gratifying that reform has cons,
from within. Newspaper men have not
waited for the benign interference Of leg
islation to cleanse their Augean stables
and to cast out the vicious and dishonest
The great development of advertising in
this country has probably assisted In the
creation Of a desire to eliminate the un-
worthy. for even those who long hung
back before they would reject what was
untrue, immoral or iagrantly dishonest
have come to know that II will serve
their interests better to sell their adver-
using columns only to business which
will stand investigation.
