San Jose Scale.

Gan JOSC 0SdICs
"The threatening outbreaks of the
San Jose scale in several Milwaukee
parks and cemeteries are now under
control, after a thorough spraying,
is the report of j. G. Sanders, state
entomologist of the Wisconsin depart
ment of agriculture.
"The park board of Milwaukee has
co-operated heartily in the control of
this dangerous pest by purchasing a
fine high-power spray machine, with
which all infested trees and shrubs
in the parks were thoroughly sprayed
with the proper solutions.
Cooperation on the part of park
authorities is highly desirable to fur
Their our fight against insect pests, and
Milwaukee is to be congratulated on
the stand of her park board in these
matters"
At Racine similar spraying has been
done by the park authorities with
very satisfactory results.
At Kenosha large area of the city
has been thoroughly inspected, and all
infested trees and shrubs have been
sprayed. This treatment, it is be-
lieved, will prevent further spread of
this pest in these cities, and the state
entomologist believes that such spray
ing applied every two or three years
will effectually hold the scale in check.

Salary Saving Effected

Further evidence of the effort Of
Governor Philips administration so
to correlate the business of the state
as to reduce expenses and improve
the service is shown in the announce
ment that the force of inspectors OF
Illuminating oil Is to be reduced from
So to 81.
The districts which will be abol-
ished, with the territory added to adj
joining districts, follow: Nos. 5, 6.
IL, II, IS, 10, 20, rs. 81, 80, SO. 43, 45.
AZ, 40, SIS. 81, So, SO and 81. The sal
aries paid inspectors in the last fiscal
year aggregated s49,S77.55. Under the
new arrangement the salaries will be
not above $4,000. Because the terri
tories will be larger, however, the ex-
penses will be increased from $4,000
to $1,000, so that the net saving will
be between $4,000 and $4,000.

Appleton-If the National Guard is
increased to 425,O0O, Wisconsin will
have at least two more regiments.
While nothing has been given out
from the adjutant generals office, it
appears certain that if that increase
is made the Wisconsin Guard will be
entirely reorganized, so chat regiments
can be concentrated in more of unit
than they now are. The increase will
mean promotion for many officers.
Two more regiments mean ten new
field colonies and majors, meaning
that ten captains will be promoted.
