BEAN BEETLE IS DOING A
GREAT DAMAGE IN PLACES

Las Vegas, July 7.-B. Gandert, act
ing county agent of Mora county, who
was recently appointed by the state
through the agricultural college was
in the city today comforting with our
county agent, NJ. X. Gonzales. Mr..
Gandert has been working for the past
month against the grasshoppers that
have been causing considerable trou-
BILE in Mora county.
Mr.. Gandert came TO Las Vegas to
obtain material with which to demon
strate how to spray bean plants to do
away with the bean beetle. This bug
is causing considerable damage to the
crops of Mora county and also of San
Miguel. Heretofore the agents have
been advocating the picking of the
bugs by hand, but their numbers have
become so numberous that spraying
is necessary.
A spray for the destruction of the
beetle is composed of two pounds Of
arsenate of lead (powder) to so gal
Ions of water. This is sprayed on the
plants with as fine spray as possible
so as to completely soak the leaves and
yet conserve the liquid. Another spray
is made of mixture of four pounds
of arsenate Of lead (paste) to 80 gal
Ions of water. Further explanation as
to the means of fighting the bug will
be furnished upon request by the diff
! ferent county agents.

INCREASE OF STATE
CROPS OVER LAST YEAR

Santa Fe, July l0.-The splendid
result Of the propaganda by the state
council of defense for increased crops
Is apparent from the summary of the
July crop report for the United States
and for New Mexico, just issued by
the bureau of crop estimates of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. In every instance New Mexico's
crops this year will exceed by far
the crops garnered last year, while
for the United States as whole the
opposite is true. The wheat crop in
Quay county is not nearly so good as
it was last year. Harvest has begun
on the plains and thousands of BUSH
els will be threshed, but the elevator
at Tucumcari is not expecting much
wheat this year.
Beans and row crops have time To
make good provided the usual rains
come during July and August. Al
ready splendid rains have been re-
ported in parts Of the county, but on
the plains near McAlister, House, Mur
dock and few other places in the ex-
treme south end they are badly in need
of rain.

In the eyes of the allies, i the sue
ccsSful resumption of the offensive by
the troops of the Russian republic. Led
by the lion-hcarted kcrcnsky himself,
the Muscovitc soldiers on sunday be-
gan II fierce attack on the Austro-Ger-
man lines In eastern Galiciu near
Brzeznny. In the first two days the
Russians drove the enemy out OF
triple line OF trenches and captured
the town OF Koniuchy and 1890 men,
this great number of prisoners indi-
eating n breakdown of the morale of
the Teutonlc troops. The lighting con

sides were very heavy. The wonder
fully efficient work of the Russian ar
tillery In the preparatory lombard
ment shows this arm of the service Is
better equipped than ever before.
Lemberg Is the immediate objective
Of this Russian advance, and ut the
same time an attack Is In progress
further north which threatens Kovel.
While vast Importance attaches to
the result OF this battle, 1t is the re-
newed willingness and even desire OF
the Russian troops to fight the Teutons
that Is most cheering to the allies. The
army at least on that front now Is well
In hand and Is better supplied with
munitions than at any previous time.
All the regiments that took part In the
fighting of Sunday and Monday have
been officially designated 18th of June

date. Kerensky's presence inspired
the men to almost unanimous nc
ton, the few laggards being punished
by being removed from the ranks and
sent home.
General Scott, American chief Of

the front and TO witness the Russian
attack from II vantage point.
A by-product OF the successful Rus
sian offensive was the granting by En-
peror Charles of Austria of amnesty
to all civilians convicted Of high trea-

Ed. PORTER YET IN.
CONSCIOUS NOT EX.
PECTEO TO RECOVER

Mr. and Mrs. Porter, of San Jon,
have been here all week since the ac-
cident happened last Tuesday week,
injuring their son and two other men
from San Jon when a Ford capsized
near the Campbell farm six miles east
of Tucumcari on the Ozark Trail.
Walter Sharp, one of the men re-
ported dead, is well with the exception
Of a broken arm. He was released
from the hospital last Friday and al
lowed to return home.
Denton suffered no serious injury
and is reported well.
Ed. Porter has never regained con-
seriousness and Wednesday morning
was reported to be dying. During the
day he seemed TO gain little strength.
Thursday morning his conGition was
no better and relatives were summon
ed from all parts of the county. This
afternoon he was hardly alive and it
is feared the end will come before
many hours.
Mr.. Porter is said to have been an
excellent young man with good hab-
it's. He had been in business at San
Jon for some time in the barber shop.
He had many warm friends who sin
cerely hope life will not pass from him
but at four o'clock this Thursday af-
ternoon it seems their hopes will not
be realized.
This sad experience should be les
son to those who drive cars. If you
are riding with a reckless driver you
had better walk than pay the penalty
with death. Mr.. and Mrs. Porter, to-
gether with the young mans wife,
have the sympathy of the entire coun-
ty. They have spent many anxious
hours doing all they could to revive
the young man, but it seems that the
end is slowly but surely coming.

HUDSON LOSES THE RACE

Tuesday is an unlucky day of late
on the Ozark Trail. This week about
four o'clock Tuesday afternoon, a par
ty of young people in a Hudson Su-
per-Six started to pass DR.. Savage's
Ford. The cars gained speed Of
something like 35 miles an hour. The
rear wheel on the Hudson went fiat
from a puncture and the other had
but little air in it. This caused the big
car to lurch into the ditch. The driver
tried to stop the car but not until it
bumped into one of the concrete cul-
verts did it stop. 1t remained upright
but one of the front wheels was COM
pletely demolished and the car other
wise bruised up. None Of the occu-
pants were injured other than given
u severe fright.

under the trees, labeled Drink and
Live" was drank by the young and

We noticed among the gathering,
our old friends, Capt. Conner and wife
who have been at the resort five weeks
"for stomach trouble and general de-
bility," and great are the words of
praise given the medical water of the
future great health resort. Since they
came to the resort their health has i'm
proved 100 per cent. They now eat
well, sleep well, and as they term it,
feel like new people" And they say
to all who are worn out and run down
in health, afflicted with aches and pain
come to this resort where there is a
beautiful camping ground and fine
mountain scenery"
The usual 4th of July Grafton was

songs, declamations and orations were
indulged in.
Last but not least, after other in
teresting amusements were over, an

out the day, and about p. m. the
crowd began leaving for their several
homes, well satisfied with the day as
spent ut Lovers Peak Health Resort.

town Wednesday on business. He said
the voters up there were led to believe
that half the proposed road bond is
sue was TO have been spent on the
Ozark Trail through Quay county. 1t
surprises some to learn that the Ozark

gotten one penny of the road bond
money. The money for the trail has
already been arranged for and will be
in condition before snow flies. Good
speed can be made on the route now,
some cars making the trip from Am
