The Greater COrn-slalk BOrer
Many cofnfields Of the county are
being seriously injured by the greater
cOm-staDk borer. The fulfilled worm
or caterpillar is about an inch long,
nearly white in color, with rows Of
black spots or tubercles over the
back. The worm works into the stalk
near the ground, often destroying the
whole insides of the stalk.
This appears to be a new pest in
this vicinity and as yet not much has
been learned Of It's history, injury or
remedies. We therefore wish the
farmers would observe carefully
where this pest is at work. Answer
these questions: What was grown on
the soil last var where this pest is
now at work. How was the soil han
died since the harvesting Of the last
crOpf What per cent of the corr is
infested and injured7 What varieties
of corn are infested the mOstq
In the near future we will have
more to say regarding this pest.

Officers Clash al LOrdsburu.

LOrdsburg, July 15.-A serious
c ash has occurred here between Lee
Wright, deputy sheriff, and John Par
|rott, a member of the state mounted
police. As a result Of the trouble,
Wright is under $4,000 bond to
await the action of the next grand
jury, the charge against him being
assault with deadly weapon with
intent to kill.
1t appears from reports available
that Parrott, who was in Lordsburg
on a federal case, had arrested a
man in a LOrdsburg saloon for flour
ishing a gun, acting in an emergency.
Wright, deputy sheriff, arriving on
the scene a few minutes later, sought
to take the mounted pOliceman's pris-
Oncr away from him, it is said. In
the fracas that followed, Wright is
alleged to have fired one shot from
an automatic pistol at PARROT, which
fortunately went wide, and the deputy
was promptly disarmed and arrested.
Wright was given a hearing before
Justice of the Peace C. W. Marsalis
and held to the grand jury, being re-
leased on a $4,000 bond.
Following the PARROT Wright trou-
b e, Deputy Sheriff Stanley Olmstead,
of the Eighty-five mine, had his COM
mission recalled by the sheriff and
J. W. jackson, also holding a deputy's
commission, turned his in.

Resume Drilling at Columbus.

Work at the oil well was resumed
last Monday morning. It is down to
a depth of approximately 1850 feet
and the prospects are good.
1t is expected that the hole will be
lowered at about the rate of ten feet
per day 1t has been very slow
process, and it has been thought for
a long time that it would only be nee.
essary to make a few more feet until
a well would be brought in. Due to
this fact, almost invariably when
supplies or repairs were thought to be
needed when certain depth was
reached have not been bought but
they have generally waited until such
repairs or supplies became absolutely
necessary in ordr to drill at all.
The prospects for oil in large guam
Titles have seemed so unusually good,
and funds being short have in a large
measure been the cause of its taking
so much time to complete the well.
Everything necessary for the pres
ent, at least, is now available and un-
less there is some breakdown or trou-
BILE that is now not anticipated, the
work will 60 forward very rapidly
for q time at least. Thirty days ac-
iual drilling should tell the tale

Magdalena, N. NJ, July 1s.-Mag-
dalena is going over the top with the
biggest frontier contest in the west
his season, which will be known as
the roundup. A special arena seat
ing 5000 people has already been
completed and is so constructed as
TO give an unObstructed view Of
everything taking place from any part
Of the grandstand.
The performance will consist of
brOnchO busting, steer roping, trick
and fancy riding, steer bulldOgging,
riding wild steers and horses bare
back, wild mule race, cowboy novelty
races, bulldOgging steers from a
speeding auto and many other fea-
lures, to say nothing Of the many
western cowgirls who will take part
in the ladies' broncho busting.
Tex Austin, who is manager Of the
roundup, has staged more real and
sensational frontier contests in the
west than all other promoters put to-
gether and has the reputation of
never having staged a bad contest.
Thousands of dollars in cash prizes
have been hung up in the various
events and many champions Of the
different line Of cowboy sports viii
be there to defend their titles. The
city has made ample arrangements 10
care for thousands Of visitors which
are expected to attend from all over
New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and
Texas.

but the young feed only on the soft
green part, leaving a skeleton Of the
leaf veins. Vines thus attacked are
not able to produce a crop of beans.
1.-THE adult beetle is brown with six
teen black spots on the wing shields.
A few live over the winter in the
trash and come out late-about the
latter part Of June-to feed on beans
and deposit their eggs on the under
side Of the bean leaves. The eggs are

beetle has been known to lay as many
as $50 eggs in a season.
"The eggs hatch in a few days.
The young are light yellow in color
and are covered with branched bris-

and grow to maturity in a few weeks,
ready to produce a second brood.

so. Spraying with arsenate of
lead-2 l-2 pounds of powder or 5
pounds of paste to 100 gallons of
water-before the beetles appear in
the field.
Spraying by machinery is prac-
teal under field conditions and the
above mixture is cheap and effective.
Experiments show that the adult
beetles will go on a hunger strike
and starve before they will eat the
bean leaves on which poison has been
sprayed. If they should eat the
poison death would result from that
source. When the adult comes to a
poisoned plant to feed or deposit her
eggs, she simply moves on to find one
not poisoned"
The bean growers who are planning
to protect themselves by spraying
ought to see 70 il now that their
spraying machinery is in good repair
and the arsenate of lead on hand.
