The department has information, ac-
cording to the attorney general, that
the instigators Of the May day DEM
Onstration have been working In "di-
rect connection and unison" with lead
ers Of disturbances set for Europe.
AS In Europe, attempts are being
made to incite strikes In all basic
American Industries, Mr.. Palmer said,
although he did not believe they would
be successful.
All Of the propaganda advocating
May day disturbances referred to ''in-
human treatment" Of the soviet gov
eminent Of Russia by the United
States and the allied powers, Mr.. Pal
mer continued. In foreign sections of
Industrial centers, appeals for ''peace
with Russia" have been employed as
the main method In stirring up dis
satisfaction with this government, Mr..
Palmer said. Strikes and disorder, he
said. simply are meant to emphasize
to American officials the threats of the
radicals that relations must be re.
sumed with Russia.

above 5000 feet.


The Department of Agriculture has
carried out control experiments in
various infested localities, and the ex-
perts find that the insect can be con-
trolled, if not entirely eliminated by
either of the following methods. The
first consists in destroying the insect
by cutting the brood trees. Brood
trees are individual trees ATTACKED
several years in succession, and are
readily ideitfied by the SCARED trunks
and deformed branches. These are the
breeding points of the borer, and a
man with an ak can cut and pile so
such trees in day. The trees are
piled and burned, or split oven so that
the wood is exposed to the sun.
The other method, not practical in
forest, but applicable to shade trees
is the application of creasotee or car
bolineum to the egg scars. This
should be done in October after the
adults have deposited their eggs.
Further information regarding the
life history. habits and control of the
poplar borer is contained in Farmers
Bulletin 1854, which may be had upor
request of the department at Wash
ington, ID. c.

PAPER SHORTAGE
Aspen Borer Is Helping To Kill Many

The beetle is the adult form of the
aspen borer, a grub which often de-
stroys wwhole plantations of the trees

The beetle gnaws slot in the bark
and deposits one or two eggs therein.
From these eggs come the trouble

Poplar and asped - both very fast

very valuable to manufacturers = are
the objects of the borer's attacks. The
imported Lombard polar and the COM
mercial cottonwood of the Mississippi
valley are very seldom injured, but all
other native varieties are damaged
by the grub.
In some areas where poplar and
