BIG INCREASE
IN VALUES
Assessments Reach $7o7.22E0O
Over Last Year, Not In
cludinQ Railroads.

The increase in assessments oi
both real and personal property
of the county show total oi
$7o7,221. This increase is due to
40 order of the State Equalization
Board.
According to the returns made
70 the assessor the real values oI
the county amounted to 81. .862,274.
This was raised by the Board OF
Supervisors to S2,42S,5eo, an 10
crease of $3.50, 6,3a5.
The personal returns to the as
SCISSOR amounted to S726,oI8 The
Board raised these figures 10
Sos6.oI4, an increase of S23o,8o6
These figures do not include
public service assessments, such
as railroads, telegraph, telephone
and express companies. These
corporations will probably be
raised also, in which case their
assessment will probably equal the
total increase in the county, max.
ing a grand total OF approximately
$4.Is2,82o.

No Coalition in Canada.

The Canadian governments decision Il
apply CONSUMPTION has received a severe
rebuff by Sir Wilfrid Laurier's refusa
to enter a coalition cabinet. IL was with
the object of taking war questions en-
tirely out of politics that the proffer of q
coalition was made by the Conservatives
but apparently the olive branch was held
out too late.
A year ago there is no doubt that the
Canadian Liberals would have joined
eheerfully in any such plan for non-parti-
san action in making the system of vol
untsry enlistment success. But they
were not asked to do so. Sir Robert Bor-
den and his fellow Conservatives held
firmly to the reins of power and dis
pensed the enormous range OF war pat
ronage to quarters where it certainly did
no harm to their own political friends.
Now, however, the Conservatives are
face to face with a new situation. The
system of voluntary enlistment is no
longer bringing in enough men to replace
the losses in the Canadian divisions at
the front. If the dominion is to redeem
the pledge which it gave to England
early in the war, the Borden government
must get at least 100000 men somewhere,
and perhaps twice that number. Con.
scription seems to be the only way of
doing it, and yet to enforce CONSUMPTION
upon 100000 hostile French Canadians
is not an undertaking that one political
party cares to assume single handed.
Laurier and his friends could help might
ily with the masses of their compatriots
if they set their hands TO the task, but
apparently they are not just now dis
posed to pick Conservative chestnuts out
Of the fire. Yet the Liberal chieftain is
playing dangerous game, since his ac-
ton at this critical juncture may mean
large defections from his own party in
the English-speaking provinces. The Ca
madam Liberals may soon find themselves

MODERN METHODS
IN Gypsy AND BROWN
TAIL MOTH CONTROL
Use of Solid Stream Spraying with Pois.
on Solutions Increasing in
New England.

The use of high-power spraying outfits
for applying solid streams of liquid pois-
ons is becoming more general in New
England in the work of combating the
gypsy and brown-t tail moths, according
to entomUlogists of the United States
department of agriculture. By the use
of such apparatus, woodland, park and
street trees 90 feet and even more in
height can be covered satisfactory with
poison solutions from the ground. When
the usual mist-spraying outfits are used,
the operators must climb the trees-a
much slower and more expensive pro-
ceeding.
The spraying of trees in New England,
whether with mist or solid stream sprays,
has been effective in combating the fol-
iage- eating insect pests of the region.
Arsenate of lead in the paste form is
the poison generally used. Solutions of
from 10 to l2ta pounds of the chemical
to each 100 gallons of water are en-
ployed.

Solid Stream Spraying.

Spraying woodland by using this
method requires about 800 gallons OF
spray solution per acre, and with high
grade machine, properly equipped, an
average of from IL to Is acres can be
sprayed in a day. With the same outfit
it is possible to treat about 400 shade
trees per day and, as a rule, 400 gallons
will cover about 80 trees. The cost of
this treatment depends on local prices
for supplies and labor.
