have been revised and now bids will
be requested within the next two
weeks. First bids exceeded the
amount available for construction
and we're rejected.
st. Louis, FEB. 22.-The move
ment for readjustment of labor and
material costs in building construc-
ton here is being aided in many
cases by union officials. The presi-
dent of the local building trades
conucil has resigned his Office al
though he still remains a member
of the council. 1t was announced
he took this action because he was
out of sympathy with those unions
which had declined a recent propo-
sal for a 20 per cent wage reduction
in the building trades. The paint
ers' union and others had agreed to
this. Building projects totalling
$30,00O,000 are awaiting cost read

DEEP FOR

Entomelogist Tells Process fer De

Stage.

This is the best season of the
year for fighting the corn root
aphids, the little bluish-green plant
louise that is always more or less
of a pest in the corn fields of Illi-
nois, according to W. P. Flint, state
entomologist.
At this time of the year this
plant louse is in the egg stage, care
fully stored away in the lower
chambers of the nests of the brown
corn field ant About the time the
ground warns Cp in the spring suffi-
cienuy for the young smartweeds TO
grow, these eggs hatch, and the
ants carry the young aphids to the
roots of various grasses, but espec-
tally onto the roots of the young
smartweeds. II one plant becomes
too crowded, they carry them over
to another, often covering root sys-
TENS of number Of the smartweed
plants, Mr.. Flint states.
'-The best method so far found for
destroying the aphids in the field
is to give a thorough deep plowing
in the spring, running the plow 61z

will throw out the ants nests, eggs
of the root lice, and ALL" according
to the state entomologist. IF the
furrow is run at lesser depth, the
ants nests will be split open, the
lower chamber remaining undis-
turbed beneath the bottom of the
furrow, and as rule these will
contain the aphid's eggs
''If this deep plowing is followed
by two or three double diskings, al
two or three-day intervals, the ants
nest will be so completely broken
up and their eggs and young and
the eggs of the root lice so scattered
through the soil that it is impos-
sible for them to re-eStablish their
