the time for spraying the currant.
Cooseberry and other bushes. 1t IS
from the assistant horticuiturist Of the
State Agricultural Department, c. l..
Wilkins, a well-known authority on
such matters. Read it.
The most common pests: The currant
and gooseberry borers which destroy
plants by tunnelling out the canes from
the inside are easily controlled by
keeping the old canes removed in early
spring and cutting all affected canes
when the injury is first detected.
The currant aphis affects both cur
rants and gooseberries and is easily
detected by the numerous swollen gals
having a light colored appearance on
the outside of the leaves. Inside of the
leaves or in under the gals may be
found yellowish green plant lice which
have caused them.
These aphides may be readily killed
by spraying with either a whale oil
soap solution or a tobacco spray The
former is prepared by dissolvinS one

Miss Farr's Paper
Miss Farr in opening her paper said
that there was no excuse for child
not knowing about public library ana
how to make use of it. The Libraries
are now abolishing the age limit. Chill
dren under the age OF IL were not for
merly allowed in many libraries but
row these children are allowed to WISH
the libraries and look at the picture
books and moreover some Libraries
have books with linen pages especially
for the young children. Many Libraries
now train children Ia the care and use
of books.
In Massa chusetts there is county
agent who goes about in the schools
and teaches the children in the use Of
the library. Later the children are
questioned regarding their studies
They are asked, for instance to tel!
on what page OF book a certain poem
is found and they are made to consult
the index to find the page where GER
tain selection may be found. And the
Massachusetts Commission at Boston
has published a list Of questions for
the children upon library reference
work.
She emphasized tho necessity Of nor
NAL school students being INSTRUCTED
regarding literature for school children.
A list of the books the boys like best
has been prepared by the Boy Scouts
Connected with the New York Pub
lie library there are reading clubs for
the children. In the other Childrens
group the officers arc chosen IRON
among the children themselves and the
| librarian acts as the leader Of the
club.

children in games as we'll "a In read
ing and tho boys. WHO previously ha0

PUBLIC FUNDS WASTED,
DECLARES FAIRBANKS
Democratic Administration Extrava-
giant, and Rivers and Harbors
Bill a Pork Barrel.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. September
30.-Charges that the democratic pledge
of economy in government had been
utterly disregarded and that the ad :
ministration had indulged extravaganza
without a parallel were made by
Charles w. Fairbanks in his two ad-
dresses here this afternoon.
Its appropriations and expenditures
have been made recklessly and in de-
fiance of every economical considera-
tion," he said There has been such
wanton waste of public funds that some
of the strongest democrats have de-
ncunced it upon the floor of Congress.
The river and harbor bill recently
PASSED and approved by the President
of the United States carries forty-three
million dollars.
Fully twenty million dollars was
appropriated in defiance Of the public
interest.
This vast sum was, perfect piece
of pork barrel legislation. 1t was de-
signed to strengthen candidates for
Congress. for the Senate of the United
States or other purposes equally for
eign to the public welfare.
Although Congress and the Presi-
dent are equally culpable for this
wrong upon the country. if Congress
forgot its plain duty. the President
should have interposed his veto in
stead of becoming a party in fastening
upon the people so great a wrong"
Mr.. Fairbanks left this evening for
Los Angeles.
