NEW COTTON PLAGUE
Pink Boil Worm Discovered in
 Coahuila, Mexico.
GREATEST MENACE TO STAPLE
Insect In cotton-Producing Countries Has Shown Capacity for Damage Exceeding That of Untract-
 able Boil WeeviI.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture9
 The pink boil worm, the presence of which in the state of Coahuila, Mexico, POO miles south of the Texas border, has recently been determined by spe- cialists of the U. S. department of ag- riculture, is a comparatively new cot ton pest, having spread from India to Egypt about eight years ago.
 It has already spread to practically all cotton-produeing countries in the world except the United States.
 And it's establishment in Mexico presents one of the greatest menaces which has come to American cotton culture in it's history. This insect in India, Egypt, Hawaii and other for eign cotton-producing countries, has shown capacity for damage exceed ing that of the boil weevil.
 Recognizing the possibility of intro ducing the pest into this country in cot ton seed, seed cotton, and eottonseed hulls, the United States has prohibit ed for several years the importation of these products from all cotton-produc- ing territory except six states of north ern Mexico. For the same reason cot ton lint from such countries has been admitted into the United States only at certain northern ports and after Immigration. New amendments to quarantine regulations, which became

FOR AN ATTRACTIVE HALL

One of the most striking halls that have been designed recently shows a background of natural wood. In the instance in question the wood is gum. When treated with stain and wax it takes on an antique, dusty, brown tone that makes it perfect background for decorative purposes. An antique rug, in low tones, with like design for the stair carpet, gives a rich appear ance. The hangings are deep null berry-colored velvet, trimmed with galloons of dull gold. Dark walnut furniture is used.

Pink Boil Worm-Pupa, Ventrai and Lateral Niews-Much Enlarged. (or- iginaI.)

sect is the dreaded pink boil worm of Egypt and India.
 The pink boil worm hibernates in the larval state in the seed. and in this way is readily carried to any quarter of the world by seed expor- tation. The adult insect is small moth The worm attacks the imma- ture cotton bells. and, in severe cases, reduces the yield 50 per cent. In addi- tion to this, the amount of oil obtained from the seed of infested cotton is lessened from 15 to 20 per cent.
 The department of agriculture urges that all cotton interests give assist ance to the federal authorities in pre- venting any movement in violation of the new amendments of cotton seed, cottonseed hulls, seed cotton or cotton lint from Mexico into the United States.

 Mix a pint of unslaked lime with a quart of water and when settled pour the clear lime water into the coal- oil emulsion. adding to this tea- spoonful of paris green, stirring it all rapidly and thoroughly.
 Keep this mixture well stirred when using and spray or syringe the leaves, under the upper side with plenty of the mixture.
 It will be good for the bush, if not healthy for the bugs and slugs.

WHITE GRUBS ARE NUISANCE
When Pests Once Get Into Field There Is No Way of Protecting Crop
 Rotation Is Best.

When white grubs are once in the field there is no way of protecting the crop. There are. however, methods that will greatly reduce the damage in succeeding years. Crop rotation and fall blowing are best.
 Hogs and chickens like the grubs and quickly reduce the number in fields in which they are kept.

ART IN GARDEN MAKING
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN.

One may take the most expensive garden decoration that money can buy as is shown in the picture which ac- companies this little story, and get from it an idea that does not have to depend upon the purse for it's develop ment. In the picture is shown one of the prettiest bits of decorative garden art in America. Aside from the bit of statuary in the center, nature and small expense supplied the rest of the setting. Note the grouping of the bulb plants in the foreground and the con summate art with which the gardener worked in the background.
 It will be seen that he has worked in masses in both directions. He has made his effect in the curved row of bulb plants merely by massing; the profuse background has been grouped much as florist or a country boy pre- pairing bouquet for his sweetheart from the wild flowers of the wood, would assemble cut flowers to get loose and graceful arrangement. There is an absolute lack of appearance of studied effect. But the study is there just the same. It is given to the task of getting away from the stiff arrange ment indicated by the Mother Goose jingle:
 How does your garden grow?
 With fairy bells and cookie shells
 And pretty maids all in a row.
 Real art is always the nearest pos sible approach to nature. Nobody ever saw nature set out a lot of plants in regular form. The gardener who de- signed this garden worked to have his massing background take as nearly as possible the direction that nature would give them.
 One may substitute very modest center decoration for the statuary and still keep intact the design. I am glad to be able to give this wonderful de sign by so famous an artist for the use of the many readers who constantly try to make garden something more than mere place to plant things.

effective November 4, extended the prohibition against importing seeds, seed cotton, and hulls to the previously excepted Mexican territory, with the exception of that portion of the Impe- rial valley south of the Mexico Cali fornia line. This area is continuous with the Imperial valley of California, is devoted to the culture of the same kind of cotton, and is largely settled by Americans. In view of the unity of cotton culture in the valley and the entire separation of the Mexican DOT tions of the area from continental Mex leo by the Gulf of California and wide expanses of desert country it was not considered necessary to change the ex- isting regulations there. The growers of this valley on both sides of the in- ternational line, however, have been warned of the danger and it is expect ed naturally will refrain from any traf- fic, if such exists, in cotton or cotton seed and seed products from those parts of Mexico against which the quarantine has been promulgated.

Canyon Creek Miners
Buried in Sn0WSlide

The bodies of L. E Lautzenhiser
and D. F. Stearns, the two miners
whose cabin was swept away by a
snowslide in Canyon creek, were
found buried beneath about eight
feet of snow by the searching party
that went out from Kerby to hunt
for them. From the condition Of
the bodies it was evident that the
slide had occurred at least three
weeks ago.
Neighboring miners missing the
two men had instituted the search
and when it was found that the cabin
had been wrecked by the snowslide
it was believed that the men would
be found dead beneath the debris.
The top portions of the cabin were
carried away when the Side hit il,
and the snow was banked deep over
the portion that was left. When
the rescue party had dug away the
snow the bodies of the two men were
found in bed, the slide having un-
doubtedly occurred during the night
when they We're asleep, packing the
snow so closely about them that they
were smothered to death without be-
ing able to make a struggle.
The bodies will be brought to Ker-

Both Stearns and Lautzenhiser

Thinks Artillery
Will Be Called

Eugene Register: That the coast

Guard is expected to be called out

gress declares that a state of war ex-

The Third infantry regiment of the
state troops was called cut by the
President Sunday night, and while
it is not known what disposition will
be made of these troops, Colonel
Hammond is of the opinion that they
will be used for the present to guard
bridges and government property.
The members of the two companies
Of coast artillery located here are on
the qui viye and are anxious for a
call to arms. According 20 previous
orders, the corps will BE- taken to
Fort Stevens, at the mouth of the
Columbia, for mobilization, and Of
ficers here think that they will event.
ually he taken to some of the Allan
tic coast forts.
Colonel Hammond in discussing
the probable disposition o. the coast
artillery said "The coast artillery
men will undoubtedly be sent to the
forts where there will be advantages
which the infantry will not be able
to enjoy. The forts in nearly every
instance are located near large cities
and the men will always be CHARTERED
in comfortable buildings. They will
always be in touch with civilization,
while the infantry will probably be
stationed in a desert or in muddy
trenches back OF the forts. The coast
will have all the advan-
tage over the infantrymen in this war
as far as location and convenience
are concerned"

full bidder at the auction sale last
Tuesday when the fire bell tower
was auctioncd off by Mayor Lamkin.
A number of bidders were present
but because of the difficulties which
loomed in the tearing down Of tho
building the bids did not run very
high. However, there was a large
amount of good lumber which can
probably be saved from the wreck
age and in any event with fire wood
selling at present prices, the building
IS worth all and more than it
brought.
Little difficulty was experienced
in getting the bell down from tfe
tower and the bell will bo sold If Il
buyer turns up The mechanism Is
being installed to operatp the fire
whistle which has been placed on the
city hall.
Mayor Lamkin also acted as auc-
tioneer and lured every possible
penny out of the bidders for the old
lumber and shingles left from tho
wrccking of the Chautauqua build
ing. The lumber was sold in small
lots and quite a sum received.
