GARDEN AND FIELD
PESTS ARE SCORED
Professor A. c. Burrill Sounds TOcsin
At LuncheOn-Asks All To Attend
Big Meet Tonight.

The garden bug and field pest got
a hard jolt at the luncheon of the
Twin Falls Commercial club today
when Professor A. C. Burrill urged a
prompt campaign of prevention and a
crusade into the surrounding coun-
try against the enemy. Professor Bur-
rill said:
Il appreciate the invitation to speak
to you along the lines of an impor-
tant problem closely connected with
nv profession. First, l wish to make
it clear that / am not down here with
any axe to grind, since I am sent here
by the Idaho Experiment station, and
under the jurisdiction of the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture at Washington to
study into one or two of the prob
lens which caused so much failure 1
clover growing last year.
ION my arrival here 1 find a very
wonderful thing has happened. A par
asite new to science has, together with
the swarms of %ladybirds beetles and
a Capsid bug and a flower lily, lald
low the billions of clover aphis so
that the clover growers have not yet
been able to find me one, or me them.
Besides that, you county agent a
helped me discover a new species OF
nudge attacking clover roots and a
new species of spider mite swarming
on dying red clover roots. On top or
that, this spring unusual, epidemics Of
d strange white spider mite and a
purple springtail or snowflea are con-
nected with the sudden dying of a
thrifty alfalfa field west of the city,
hundreds of acres, and of thousands
OF acres of spring and winter wheat
west of Boise last year. Now comes
the unwelcome news that wireworms
have destroyed thousands of acres or
winter wheat around Latah county
and up Rigby way, besides hundreds Oh
acres of sugar beets, white clover, and
onions around Twin Falls, while an
other grasshopper epidemic is right
now getting started along every
hedge row and ditch bank
Gentlemen: Do you wait until al
ter a fire to take out your fire 1nsur-
ance policy? No. So much the more
reason we should devise some policy
of crop insurance before we lose these
major crops.
Gentlemen: DO you wait until at-
ter a man is dead before you call a
doctor? No. So much more the rea-

on extension work to visit every mans

must bring their troubles to me a v
where the cause is obscure; then ]
will try to visit the scene in per-
son and search the cause. 1t is there
fore clear that some way of speedily
phoning in troubles must be devised
and a speedy transportation of speci'

COLUMBIA CALLS

Awakel We men from dreams of Peace
Nor sleep when danger near,
But fling Old Glory to the breeze
There are no towards herel
Our fathers fought; like heroes died,
For years their blood they gave
That honor, home and Peace be ours;
Awakel thy country savel
Our flag for honor ever stands
To lift the weak, to lead the free.
America, our blessed land,
Is calling, calling thee.
From North to South; from sea to sea,
L hear the answering cry;
"Thy sons forever shall be free
For thee will live and diel'
Then fling Old Glory to the main
Beneath her stars enroll,
For cowardice shall nev stain
The glory of her folds.
The Stars and Stripes shall lead us on
a mighty host for right
That Peace shall reign forevermore
And war from Earth take flight.
