Miiliken Farmer Has Record Corn.

Milliken.-What is said to be the
finest field of corn in northern Colo
rado and perhaps in the state is the
twenty-acre field on the c. II. Tromble
place, which measures fourteen feet in
height and contains from three TO five
well developed ears on each stalk.
The corn is being picked and the
stalks will be put in silos. 1t is esti-
mated that there Will be at least thir-
ty-five bushels of good corn to the
acre on the twenty acres and its
height has attracted the attention of
all travellers who pass the field

FROM the looks of things at the
present time there is going to be no
trouble with Mexico for a time at
least. In the latest note handed to
the Washington Government Car
rama has completely backed down
and is now willing to settle matters
in peaceable manner,
If Carranza could be taken at his
word the difficulties with the south
ern Republic might easily be settled
but he has deceived the United
States time and again and has killed
and wounded soldiers of this Re-
public without being punished, yet
the attitude of the Administrative is
to forget things and to settle mat
tiers peaceably. He has threatened,
blufed, attacked our forces, and
carried matters just as far as he
could without starting the forces OF
the u. S. marching over his country
vet he now wants things settled
without further trouble.
Carranza is a foxy old rat that
cannot be trusted. Washington
should remember some of his past

Prospects for Mr.. Hughes

Mr.. Hughes and his support
ers are reported to be in very
high spirits over the enthusi-
astic endorsem ents of so many
leaders of the Bull Moose party.
They point to the fact that in
1912 President Wilson received
6, 1903. 600 votes, Colonel Roose
welt 4,168,oOo and President
Taft received $4,000. They
estimate that Mr.. Hughes will
get at least 50 per cent and per
haps 80 per cent of the Bull
Moose votes of 1912. If this
calculation should prove accur-
ate Mr.. Hughes will receive
more than 800 ELECTORAL votes,
when he only needs 266 to land
him in the White House. How
ever. there seems to be quite a
difference of opinion between
the Bull Moosers on the Atlantic
Coast and those a little further
west.

WATCH FOR CANKERW0RMS.
1t Is Important That Infested Trees Be
Snraved

IL ls Important That Infested Trees Be
Sprayed.
J. S. HOuser, associate entOmOlOgist
Of the Ohio experiment station, says
that the parent moths of the canker-
worm have been observed in consider
able numbers in some sections of the
state, and 1t seems that this well
known insect may do considerable
harm this season. 1t will be remem-
bered that the male cankerworm moth
is a dusty miller measuring about an
inch across its spread wings and that
the female is wingless, appearing
somewhat like a spider. The females
emerge from the ground and crawl up
the tree trunks to the small tw1gs,
where the eggs are deposited. With
the expanding of the leaves the eggs
hatch and the striped measuring
worms or caterpillars begin eating the
foliage. If the worms are abundant
and no attempt is made to control
them the trees may be entirely de-
foliated. When the branches are jar
red the caterpillars let themselves
down by a silken thread.
The caterpillars are most easily kill
ed when they are young; Il erefore it
is important that the infested trees be
sprayed as soon as the tiny newly
Matched larvae begin feeding, and at
this time it is necessary to observe
quite closely in order to find them.
For control purposes use arsenate OF
lead paste, four pounds, or arsenate Of
lead powder, two pounds, to each fifty
gallons of water. Special precautions
should be taken to thoroughly spray
the tops of the trees, since it is there
that the most severe injury is done.
Not only are apples attacked, but
many of the shade trees as well. Of
the latter linden, elm, maple, hawthorn
and others suffer severely.

TURNING for a moment from its

TURNING for a moment from It's
contemplation of building boom,
street Improvement activities and
real estate stir, the Washburn Times
takes a peep at the political situation
and then says: The people want a
change" Perhaps the Times guess is
right: vet it doesn't seem possible
that any such people can be found
abiding in Washburn. If they are,
then indeed must they be suffering
from incurable strabismus Of their
nentalities. During forty years Sof
Republican regime no place on this
mundane sphere was SO decrepit, so
run down at the heel, SO forlorn or
so hopeless as Washburn. But look
at or now She's climbing the up
grade like train O cars pulled by
four mogul engines. Surely the
Washburnite who wants a political
change" must be sadly afflicted
mentally.
1t was a political change that we
were mentioning Nye, not business
change. Wilson or the democratic
party cannot be given the credit for
the great business activity in Wash
burn. You will have to blame it I'M
to the war. The Presidents note
writing did not have anything to do
with it. Sure the people in Wash
burn want a political change and the
beauty of it is they are going to have
it when Hughes is inaugurated next
March?

The Sycamore.

One Of the very best trees for street
planting is the oriental plane or syca-
more. Because Of its many good quail
tiles it is rapidly coming into general
favor. 1t bears a heavy crop of large

tree until late autumn, long after other
trees have cast their foliage. This
variety of sycamore has a stocky

A Vicious Fish.
In South America there is small
fab that not only attacks its fellows
of the sea and river, but is greatly
dreaded by the natives, who during
certain seasons have to ford the
streams in which the carbitos are
found. Bathers are often attacked
by them, the sharp, chisel shaped
teeth taking a bit from the flesh
wherever they attack. They are
perfect scavengers, eating the ami
mails that float down the river

Raise All Sorts of Flowers.

There will be no dearth of flowers
hereafter in this country, especially Of
those which were formerly grown In
Europe and the demands for which
we're very strong among flower enthu-
siasts. This is the summing up Of the
results of the war situation in Europe
by the Retail Florists association.
New floral industries are flourishing
in the southern states now, and plants
heretofore grown in southern France
and southern and northern Italy and
imported to America are now being
grown in the south. In a short time,
it is stated, the European product will
be forced out Of the American market
entirely. The American public, which
idolizes flowers, can now get almost
everything home grown, and, though
the change has been brought about by
war conditions, florists have been
taught the lesson that what at one
time they believed was impossible is
now easy of solution.
