A number of those whose claims for
exemption were denied by the local
board will probably appeal their cases.
The district boards has not yet acted
on all the appealed cases in the first

Until the appeals are all acted upon
by the district board. it cannot be de-
termined whether it will be necessary
to call more men to fill the county's
quota, but it is not believed another
call will be required.

'In desperation, the commissioners
appointed by the District Court have
called this informal town meeting to
see II they could not start something
in the way of providing candidates
for four Offices in the new City of
Winnemucca. We don't want to let
the preparations for the first election
go by default. The city election Is
called for September Is, and up to the
present time there has not been one
nominating petition filed with the
commission; and, even more strange,
there has not been single new name
registered on the list OF electors, and
the registration closes Saturday. II
don't look as though the people were
taking much interest"
With words something like the
above. J. A. Langwith. chairman of
the election commission. called to or
der a mass meeting of citizens in the
room of the District Court at $40
o'clock last night. There were forty
four persons, including two women
Later. however. the room was filled
with a fairly representative body of
citizens. More than half of those
present were residents of the new
Second ward (west of Bridge street
and north of SIXTH, as was shown by
a division upon the nomination of d
candidate for Councilman to represent
the Second.
Mr.. Langwith carefully explained
that the meeting was in no sense a
commissioners meeting" nor did it
have any legal significance whatever.
Whoever was nominated by the meet
ing would still have TO get out his or
her nominating petition and file 1t
with the commission. in compliance
with the somewhat indefinite law.
He declared it looked as though the
people were about to let the election
preparations go by default, and the
commission didn't want that. II did
not want. for one thing. TO waste the
$125 or more which had already been
expended for the necessary legal ad-
vertising. He then stated the quail
fication which candidates must pos
sess, and the boundaries of the three
wards of the city (which have here
tofore been published several times).
He explained that those who were
registered for the general election
last year need not register again for
the city election. but all others must
register II they want to vote. Regis
tration notice and notice of electio
will be found on other pages of The
Silver State.
Explaining that the commission, as
a commission. could not take part in
the nomination of candidates, Lang
with then called for nominations for
a chairman of the meeting. James G.
Moore was nominated by C. E. Robins
and was elected without opposition.
Miss Fannie Harp was nominated
for secretary of the meeting by ]. E.
Callahan No opposition. Elected

nature of its injury to peach trees.
1t bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push
out from lateral buds. These are at
tackled in turn, the abnormal stimula-
tion of lateral growth producing a
much brGnched and bushy plant. A
copious flow Of gum from the twig
ends often follows the attack Of the
caterpillars.
In attlcking fruit the young cater
pillars generally eat through the skin
at or near the point of attachment OF
the fruit stem. The larva, as 1t grows,
makes its way to the pit, where it
feeds on the flesh, which soon be-
comes much di9colored and more or
less Shiny Larvae entering at the
side of the fruit are more likely to
eat out pockets or cavities in the
flesh.
The full-grown caterpillar spins a
whitish silk cocoon in which to pu-
pate. Moths emerge in the spring for
egg laying by the time the shoots are
well out.
The Bureau of Entomology, United

pecially requests owners of peach or

For correcting soil acidity, one ton

In 1904 the actual cash road and

Practically no injury to alfalfa
from summer heat has been recorded
in dry climates, but high tempera-
lures combined with much moisture
in the atmosphere are so injurious
that it is difficult to grow the crop
successfully under these conditions.
The pacturing of corn is especially
applicable to semi-arid regions. The
dry soil is not injured by the ami
mails, and very little corn goes to
waste or spoils by coming in contact
with the soil. The stalks are left in
good shape to prevent the drifting of
snow.

of the new law and its influence upon

makes the following comment:
"The greater portion of land lying
in central Oregon will ultimately
pass from grazing to agricultural use,
possibly for raising wheat and other
grains, a purpose for which both soil
and climate are adapted.
"The possibilities under the new
law for the hOmesteadcr are tremen-

cncc in q comparatively few years.

New Enemy of Peach.

An insect destructive to the peach
and kindred fruits, believed to be new
in the United States, has been discov-
cred by entomologists of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
the District of Columbia and its en-
virons. This insect, which in its adult
form is brownish moth and in it's
larval stage a small white and pink
caterpillar, attacks both the tender
shoots and fruit, causing serious
losses.
Because of the habits of the worm,
the usual control measures such as
spraying with certain arsenates will
probably not be effective. The smooth
young shoots, owing to their rapid
growth, are protected by the poison
solution for only a very short time
after the spray is applied, and hence
it is almost impossible to poison
them. The entomologists of the de-
partment who have been investigating
the pest will continue to study it in
the hope of developing control meas
ures.
The ipsect, known to science as
Laspeyresia molcsta, is believed to
have been introduced from Japan. So
far as the departments entomologists
know. it has not been found in Amer
lea other than in the District of Co.
lumbia and in the adjoining territory
in Maryland and Virginia. The spec
ialists are desirous of knowing if the
insect has attacked peach, plum or
cherry trees elsewhere in the United
States.
The presence of the insect can best
be determined in most cases by the
