THE ALFALFA
WEEv|L.
Cassia County Threatened.

the Alfalfa Weevil is seriously
Threatening the Cassla County
section. They are coming IN from
northern Utah by WAY of Strevelle
and Stanrod. number ofinsects
are reported at Elmo. Everyone
who knows anything about the
agriculture of Northern Utah
knows something about the Alf-
alta Weevil. 1t was introduced
into Utah IN 1907 and during the
next three years 1t spread rapidly
over the northern part of the
state. The damage caused by
these insects were so serious that
many farmers were compelled to
plow up their alfalfa helds and
go out of the alfalfa business.
The following description and
life history of the Weevil is taken
from extension bulletin No. 7 of
the University of Idaho, written
by Professor T. II. Parks.
The adult alfalfa weevil, is a
dull brown beetle about 3i16 of
an inch in length. oval and hav-
ing it's body covered with small
and brown hairs. The head is
provided with a shortbeak or
snout. The beetles pass the win
ter in crowns of alfalfa plants,
patches of grass and weeds in
waste places, in old stack bottoms
and in litter left in the field. They
become active the first warm days
OF spring and migrate to the
fields OF alfalfa where they mate
and deposit their eggs.
The eggs are very small. oval,
lemon yellow in color, and are
placed inside the stems of alfalfa
through punctures made by the
beetle with it's beak. Usually
from 6 to ID eggs are inserted in
each puncture and are placed up
and down the stem in a row,
presenting sy mmetrical appear
ance. After the eggs are deposit
ed. the beetle often seals the
puncture with a watery secretion
to protect them from injury.
The most of the eggs are deposit
ed from April until June inclusive.
The over wintering beetles die
during the summer, although a
few can be found in the fields as
late as September and October.
Each beetle deposits between 700
and 800 eggs during the season.
The average number deposited by
sixteen females used in experiment
during the season of 1912 was
726.
The eggs hatch in from s to Is
DAYS, depending upon the temp
erature, and The young larvae,
which are small green worms
with black heads. emerge from
the stem, travel to the tip of the
plant and here feed unobserved
between the unfolding leaves.
When about half grown the
worms are found with bodies
curled in the tops of the plants,
and their green color blends so
harmoniously with the leil that
they are very difficult to detect.
The older larvae feed upon the
older leaves. travelling from one
to the other and devouring the
foliage. Many of them 60 into
the crowns of the plants during
the day and come out to feed at
night. From 600 p. m. to 100
a. IN. both worms are very num-
erous. They may so lUure the
foliage as to stop the growth of
the plants entirely, thus cutting
short the first crop. This occurs
in June in fields having an alti-
tude of 1000 to 5000 ieet, and
during July in fields having an
altitude of from 5000 to 5000
feet. After the first crop is re-

PUTNANrS REASONING.

The Mail-Tribune reasons thus: II
Gardner refuses to stand and deliver
the county job printing to me at my
price will find some excuse to jump
onto him Gin the present case his
manner of administering the registra-
tion law. If succeed in defeating
him for denomination the fellow who
succeeds him will think a while be-
fore he refuses to do my bidding
That is the best way to land "the
goods"
Do not think for a minute, my
dear reader, that Putnam gives a
cuss who is disfranchised, or who Is
not. He is getting back at Gardner
because he cannot handle him. Also,
he is attempting, by defeating Gard
ner, to put fear in the heart Of his
successor so that the Mail-Tribune,
under the new administration, Of the
county clerks office, will be given the
county Job printing without bid or
competition. That is the burden OF
the Mail-Tribune's secret thought.
That is the anlmus for its unjust at
tack on Gardner.

Every republican who unwittingly
followed off the big bull moose is
tabooed by the old Jackson county
organization. In the olden times
those glorious convention days when
the diamond-studded party boss was
in sway-they would have been
quickly read" out of the party.
However, in these "darsterdly" pri-
mary days he can 60 right on voting
the ticket, if he cares to, and he al
ways cares to when he can do it with
out supporting fixed" candidates,
and when there are two-thirds of the
party progressive he can control the
organization, as well, if he cares to.
Not so bad, this primary system, for
free American citizens who have
gumption enough to support candi-
dates who stand for the principles in
which they believe, with no fear of
harmful disfavor of the self-consti-
tuted party boss.

informed that one of smaller capacity

The bull mooser was created by
the abuses of the republican party
organization. Like Aaron, the Or
ganization had fallen before the gold
en- calf. Moses, not Aaron, destroyed
the golden image. The history of the
world does not recite an instance
where the abusers ever corrected
their own abuse. If the abuses of the
republican organization are ever cor
rected and the good old party brought
back into harmony with the rank and
file, the progressives must do it. And
while we are on the golden calf sub
ject, we pause to remark that Moses
smote the calf to smithereens, threw
the ashes in the water and asked the
people to drink of it. There are
those who believe the present repub-
lican organization in Jackson county
is nothing more than golden calf.
How could they think otherwise, see
ing that it is wet nursed by George
Putnam, chief owner of the Sun and
principal mudslinger of the Mail-Tri-
bune, and vouched for only by the
"catch 'em coming and going" Med
ford newspaper combination.

that we feel inside ourselves are two
very different things.
The latter is the one that really
counts.
The girl just starting out on life's
career often loses sight of this. She
accepts the public standard of sue
cess and works for it at the sacrifice
of everything else.
Everyone is apt to do this-the
girl who is trying to break into mo-
tion pictures as well as others. There
is a price too dear to pay for place
at the top of the ladder. Many, many
girls have found this out through
sad experience. The smile Of tri-

Ashland, Or, Thursday, April 27, 10
WHAT QUALIFICATION SHALL
WE DEMAND?

Charles B. Moores of Portland, who
has been chairman of the state repub-
lican central committee long enough,
he thinks, to qualify him for secre-
tary of state, has entered the race
in the primaries against Ben Alcott.
His chief argument for himself is
that he has been chairman of the re-
publican state central committee and
has Stayed with the party through
all its troublous times" and his chief
argument against Olcott is that he
first came into the secretary's office
by appointment of Governor West,
has already been there six years and
If again elected he would have a con-
tinued incumbency of ten years.
We do not find in his literature a
word about service to the people. His
appeal, naturally enough, is alto
gether to partisan prejudice. He has
been closely allied with the old po-
litical republican order so long that
he can see no virtue anywhere except
in party regularity"
The day is past for that kind of
campaigning. The people do not care
a rap where a candidate stood in the
late republican disagreement. They
do demand to know what kind Of
service he has rendered to the state
The day is past for using party or
ganization as stepping stone for
office. Men must show greater quail
ifications than always voting the re-
publican ticket" or "long party serv-
ice" as a final qualification for pub
lie service" It takes more than
good standpat republicanism to de-
liver the goods as secretary Of state.
We know nothing of Moore's per-
sonal qualifications for the office.
We have heard little of him outside
of his connection with the republican
machine.
We do know considerable about the
qualifications of Ben Olcott. He has
served faithfully and well as secre-
tary of state for six years. He is a
man of high ability and rests his
claim for future confidence upon the
service he has rendered in office.
That is good citizenship, no matter
whether he supports regulars or re-
calcitrants for office.
The Tidings believes too much in
Amercanism-in the unQuestionable
right OF every citizen to support
whom he pleases for office-to con-
slider Moore's faithfulness to the re-
publican machine as qualification
pre-eminent for the office of secre
tary Of state against Ben Olcott, who
has proven his qualification by his
good service to the state.
The Tidings is for Ben Olcott for
denomination on the republican
ticket

Putnam and his hermaphrodite
handorgan, the self-constitute politi-
cal boss of Jackson county, has been
running things with a high hand for
some years. He knows no law but
self-interest. Everybody who disa-
grees with him is "mossback," and
woe to the county official who at
tempts to defy him. His weapons of
offense are vitriol, inuendo and crimi-
nal libel, to be used according to the
obstinacy of the case. His insincerity
is patent and his abuse villainous,
yet for all these years he has gotten
away with it. He figures the people,
in the aggregate, as chumps and veri-
fies his judgment by the fact that his
CUFF has worked. How long will his
power last?

Talks With Screen Struck Girls

quate recompense for what she has
sacrificed, is bitter to her.
/ know picture stars, my Screen
friend, who would envy you those
things you have not sacrificed much
more than you envy them their fame
and popularity. A good friend, with
out pretense, a mothers love and
dear home ties, a worlds respect in
one-these are some of the elements
of human happiness that all the ap-
plause and money in the world can
not recompense for.
Fame is very sweet when it comes
to one naturally and as reward for
hard and earnest endeavor; but II
is very empty when purchased on
payment OF the real and true things
in life.
This may read a great deal like a
| sermon-and | don't want to preach
but if it is a sermon, it is at least
very practical gospel.
You will find it a safe rule to go
by, if You are in the struggle for
fame, to cling always to those things
you had found truest and dearest in
your home life. They are the big
things.
Human happiness and self-respect
there can be no success without
these.

CUNIMINs ON WAR MUNITIONS.

On January 10, 1916, in the United
States senate, there was under con
sideration the matter of the manufac-
ture of war munitions. Senator Cum
Minis, debating the question as tc
whether war munitions should be prl-
vately manufactured, made the fol
lowing observations:
Then men who die and the women
who mourn in war have the God
given right to a public sentiment, un-
touched and unmodified by those
whose Golfers are filled with the
bloody gold Of traffic in war.
1T ought to be made impossible, so
far as the power of the government
can be eXerted, for any man or cor.
poration to make money out of war
1t ought to be true that when we in
woke trial by battle no man shall be
the gamer, except as he may share
with all his fellow-cOuntrymen in the
ultimate advantage of victory.
IF war must come, let it come
when honorable peace is impossible
and at the command of influences
springing from love of liberty, love
of country, love of humanity, and not
from passion inflamed by the sordid
hope of gain"
The Tidings stands with Senator
Cummins in this sentiment. At best
war is an awful thing. 1t costs un-
told lives of citizens and treasure of
the republic, and should not be en-
tered into except to maintain a ma
tion's honor or protect her citizens.
should not be allowed to
exist wherein motives are supplied
favorable to war for commercial gain.
The government should manufacture
It's own war munitions.

An Ashland wag suggests the
name, "The Hermaphrodite Twins" !"
as a fitting appellation in referring
to the Medford "catch 'em coming

Fitting, fitting indeed. "Hermaphro-
dite," we understand, means "ither, +"
"nither," or "both," Joined together
from brisket to flank, like the SIAM

the February dinner is to the effect
that the capacity of The Dalles plant
is 10000, 900 pounds green products
annually, 100000 pounds dried
products annually, and from so to
$50 employees.
We are told that the vegetable soup
combination that is put out by this
firm makes as fine soup as the fresh
vegetables.
This looks like the solution of a
great problem confronting the valley
growers. With cooperation among
the growers such a plant might be
erected in Ashland vicinity with
profit to all concerned.
Cooperation will bring results,
and it's up to the ashland growers to
cooperate. "a long pull, a strong
pull and a pull all together" in mu-

Wonder if that is part Of the "get

combination? If so, the assumption
is fair that the candidate has agreed
to give the hermaphrodite twins the
job printing from his office at their
own price if he is elected, because
that is the only consideration that
gets the support of that combina-
tion.

UNIONS TO FIGHT

vide for strikes involving about $4,000
men. These strikes are intended to
tie up the traction lines by cutting
off their power thru shortage of fuel,
walkouts of engineers and bringing
about strikes among all workmen en-
gagged in labor contributing to oper-
alton of the lines.
If this does not have the desired
effect a general strike affecting 7O0,-
900 workers-both men and women
in Greater New York is contemplated
To meet this threat employers are
said to be laying plans to bring
charges of criminal conspiracy against
leaders who call or encourage SYM
pathetic strikes. Police patrols have
been established along the roofs of
buildings on Ninth avenue, but de-
spite this trains were bombarded with
bricks, bottles and stones early today.
One woman was seriously injured. The
bodies of two men were found on the
tracks of elevated lines early today. A
track walker found the body of a la
borer on the Third avenue elevated
but had no idea of how he came to
his death.

The second body was badly man
gled on the Eighth Avenue elevated.
He was identified by a health certifi-
cate on his body as Anthony Ritz, a
cook, employed by a firm of strike
breakers.
