feels that there is a profit in the pow

would like for them to do so.
"Mr. Bradley says that he is con-
vnced, after several negotiations, that
he will not be able to agree with the
Yuma Leople and that the Secretary
must take a stand. Mr. Windsor and
Colonel Fly are here and: have op-
posed us strenuously on every propo-
sition, so all that we get we have had
to fight for. We had hoped that the
Secretary would set hearing and give
us his decision on the matter before
this. However, he has sett hearing
to confer with the other government
officials tomorrow at IL O'Clock and
ne may then take a stand or set a
date to give us hearing. l am very
anxious to get through but we can
only work as we are permitted. You

Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-Waging a
losing fight against an old and per-
sistent enemy, arboriculturists IN this
vicinity are sending out an IS. o. s.
call for the householder and the tree
lover to cooperate in combating the
caterpillar, whose scientific name Is
the tussock moth. It is said the war
is responsible for new inroads these
insects are making. Inability to OBJ
tain men for the tree-cleaning
squads is the chief reason for the
spread Of caterpillars.
Instead of cleaning up entire Sec
tons of Philadelphia as heretofore
the little squad at the command of the
arboriculturist is able only to re-
spond to hurry calls.
OF the 10000 trees on this city's
streets 1t has been possible to clean
only about twenty thousand. In some
sections the leaves already have been
eaten from the trees. The second
crop Of tussocks is at work. The
size Of a crop can be judged by the
fact that from two to three hundred
eggs may be contained in one cocoon,
and there may be from two hundred
tc three hundred cocoons on a tree.
Continued cool weather will check
their growth but a hot wave will pro-
lduce bumper crop.
