land vertebrates iof Coal Era

The land vertebrates of the coal era
were amphibiOus animals. half-rep-
tiles, half-fish. Bones and skeletons
Of the Eryops, the largest and best
known of these amphibians in Amer
lea, are occasionally found in the up
per coal measures of Pennsylvania, but
the best specimens are from Texas.
The Eryops is twice as old as the
Brontosaurus, five times as old as the
Echippus-the diminutive ancestor of
the horse-one hundred times as old
as the mammoth or the mastodon or
the earliest known remains of man.
1t has been said of the Eryops that
he is collateral ancestor of all the
higher animals-of reptiles. birds.

CurCulfos That Attack the Young

Hickory, by Fred E. Brooks, entomoI-
Ogist.
Special characteristics of the but

culiO, the hickory nut, the hickory
shoot curculiOs are separately de
Scribed. Methods of controlling nut
lnfesting curculios include burning the
fallen nuts, spraying the leaves which
they eat with arSenical pOisons. and
spraying the nut trees with lead ar
senate. While the dropping of cur
culiO-infested waInuts and hickory
nuts before the larvae III them mature
affords an opportunity for destroying
the young insects by collecting and
burning or otherwise dispOsing of the
fallen nuts. this method is successful
only in cases of isolated trees or
plantations. Lead arsenate applica-
tiOnS on the stems, leaves and fruit

ing walnut trees with lead arsenate
at a strength of six pounds to fifty
gallons of water is an effective method
of controlling the butternut curculio.

Wisconsin Starts State Wide
Move for Conservation

Rapid Decrease of Fish and Game Nee
essitates Ernest Effort at Convention
A state wide conservation movement,
which includes an intensive campaign
by the state commission to preserve
Wisconsin's natural beauty is to be
launched soon, according to word from
Madison today
Officers announced that an appeal
will be made to all the citizens to coop
crate in this movement - to observe
the fish and game laws strictly, and the
regulations which guard against forest
fires
The movement is growing out of a
recent meeting of the State oonserva-
tion Commission 200 representative men
from Wisconsin and adjoining states
mend ideas or furtherance of the con-
servation movement
Cooperation Is Needed
At the meeting it was declared that
no time more opportune than the pres
ent could be found to push the conser-
walton idea in Wisconsin. The alarming
decrease in the quantity of game and
fishes. and the rapid cutting down of
the timber lands that has gone on dur
ing, the last few years is not hidden
fact. Most persons are aware of these
conditions, and so, the Commission de-
clared, it is time to get them interested
in conservation.
The attitude to be taken in the move
ment is that the honest aid of every
person in the state is needed. TO carry
out the work. The fish and game laws
are really generous, and the regulations
against the spread of forest fires are
not so strict that it is hardship to O.
bey them. The State Commission is
prepared to preach that it is selfshness
not to obey them strictly.
See Importance of Work
An example of the Importance and
and magnitude of this work can be
gathered from a statement made at
this meeting by the United States
Game Warden, Geo. A. Lawler, to the
effect that it was estimated that dur
ing the year of 1922 there will be issued
a, 500, 900 licenses to hunters alone.
This means that fully one twentieth of
the people in the United States are a.
vaiing themselves of the outdoor life
incident to hunting and fishing.
This meeting held at Madison was the
first of its kind ever held in the United
States to discuss such a topic but it is
proposed that from now on it may be
made an annual event
