Topeka, Kan, Jan. 24.-State and federal agricultural bureaus in Kan sas are prepared to give all assist ance possible to the U. s. Depart ment of Agriculture in stamping out any symptoms of the European corn borer in Kansas. At the recent state agricultural convention in this city, resolution was adopted, approving of federal appropriation of 750,OOO to get control and if possible eradl- 1-cate the borer. It was said to have become established in number oi Eastern states and that it's advent to the United States, and especially should it reach the heavy corn pro- ducing states in the Midwest, ere ates about the same kind of excite ment among agriculturalists that the appearance of Asiatic cholera or the bubonic plague in this country woulc ssmake among health authorities.

Salute for Full General Will be
 Heard Once More

Fl Paso, Tex, Jan. 24.-For prob ably the second time in history the full generals salute of IF guns will be heard in Fl Paso when Fort Bliss artillery greets General John J. Pershing on his arrival here on his present tour of the country. Avail- able records indicate that General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1880 received the only previous similar sa- lute here. General Pershing IS scheduled to arrive here on Febru- ary l or 2. Should he arrive on Sunday, February l, no salute will be fired because it is not permis- sible on the Sabbath under army regulations.
 Old residents recall interesting events in connection with the visit of General Sherman forty years ago

As to what its effect might be on the entire corn crop of the United States, Professor Dean reminded his hearers that the corn crop last year was valued at 3,5Oo,- OOO.OO0.

 The larva is described as "a dirty white caterpillar, about an inch long. with brown head" It IS highly important that every farmer and every gardener be on guard, said Professor Dean, "and just as soon as an insect or injured plan is discovered specimens should b' sent to the state entomologist or az ricultural experiment station in or der that measures may be taken t' exterminate the pest"

PLAN UNIQUE FOREST SYSTEM
New Workers Aim to Make County
One Continuous Park, and Have
the Trees Pay Taxes.

TO make the lOating acre work is
the plan Of Otsego county, New York,
which has started a campaign to plant
forest Of 100 acres on the waste
lands in each of the n townships of
that county.
The plans, says the New York Times,
are to develop county system similar
to the city park plan, with its har-
monized system of connecting boule-
wards. The project involves the de-
velopment of a comprehensive highway
system.
The forests will be located so that
they will serve as green nature sign
boards along the highways, to adyer-
tise to the world that the county has
its own forests, owned, planted and
maintained by the public for the flu
ture generations.
AS the trees mature they will pro-
vide in the future an income which
will mean an actual cash return to
serve as an offset against taxation.
European towns often pay the cost of
operation of their government from
their forests, having no taxes. but this
requires a greater area of forest than
Is proposed for OtSegO.

SELECTION OF FRUIT PLANTS
Scale and Increase as Expe-
rence Dictates.

In selecting the small fruit plants it
pays best to start on small scale and
then increase the paintings as the ex-
perience proves that it will be safe.
Then the acreage can safely be In
creased from the plants grown on the
home farm. Small fruit thrves on Il
great variety of soils and while some
soils are better than others, every farm
should have small fruit garden ut
least for home use. There Is practi-
rally always good market for the
surplus.
