AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY H. G. Seyforth,

Potato bugs are doing their usual
amount of damage to potato vines.
They should be controlled at once.
The best method is by using poison
arsenate of lead, two ounces or 10
teaspoons of the powder to every gal
Ion and half of water. 1t is better
to use than the Paris Green as it
sticks to the foliage and is not so apt
to burn the leaves. 1t is also cheap
err. This spray can be used for any
chewing insect. If used on smooth
leaves such as cabbage, little soap
should be added to make it stick and
spread better.
Plans are being made for the big
demonstration trip in the eastern
part of Pierce County, which will be
held on the 25th or 26th of July.
The exact date, route, and time for
each stop will be given in next week.

seen on this trip are alfalfa, with anc

Of the public utilities commission.
said that the commission was not
particularly interested in making
laws but in enforcing those laws. IF
We have a law. we want one with
teeth law that can be enforced"
Henry j.. Hart, counsel for the
Bangor and Aroostook Railroad.
spoke in favor the bill. He said that
the automobile has now become a
common carrier and it should be
subject to the same regulations as
the railroads.
IF it is impossible to get the per-
mission Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to build q road
from Portland to Lewiston or from
Bangor to Greenville unless it is
proven that public necessity de
mands it. why should permission be
granted to iitney lines unless there
is a demand for that line" asked
Attorney Hart.
II believe that jitney buses and
motor truck lines should be regu-
lated like trolley roads," continued
Mr.. Hart.
Major George r. Fogg. one Of the
attorneys for the Maine Central
Railroad Company. also spoke in
favor of the bill. He said that the
public automobiles are entering the
field of public utilities and therefore
should be regulated by the public
utilities commission.
The measure was opposed in a
most emphatic manner by Ex-Rep-
resentative Emery G. Wilson of
Portland. counsel for the Portland
Taxicab Company. He said that he
was glad that the railroads had at
last come out openly against the
public automobiles and the jitney.
There is law enough now on the
statute books" said Ex-Representa-
tive Wilson. land there is no need
OF further legislation along this
line"

COUNCIL Gets
VIEWS OF HIGHWAY
COMMISSION ON ROADS

In rosponse to an invitation from
the Governor and Council to be
present at their meeting today for
the purpose Of discussing the pro-
posed State and Federal aid high
way program for 1923, the commits
sioners. together with Chief Engln-
Ger Sargent, were before the Coun-
Gil today.
With respect to the question of
locations selected for this years
work, the Commission presented to
each member of the Council and to
the Governor a map showing the
completed portions of the State
highway system. together with the
projected work for 1929. The Com
mission pointed out that it was their
intention, so far as possible to close
gaps in long lines of highway al
ready constructed with the cXcep-
tior of the short places which they
now propose to fill. 1T seemed to
the Commission that this Will be
more beneficial to the general tray
elling public than to allow these
sections longer to remain unim-
proved and to undertake improve
ment on sections of State highway
which have never yet been started.
The Commission pointed out also
that the work was we'll distributed
throughout the various sections OF
the State.
In response to the Councils re-
quest for a statement as to exactly
what projects the Commission
could build in 1922; the Commission
pointed out that this was a question
that no one could answer until work
was actually advertised Tor bids.
The Commission pointed out that a
section of road between Portland
and Auburn. for which a contract
was let in 1922. was projected to be
built in 1920. Ths Commission were
unable to let contracts in 1920 on
account of the serious labor situa-
ton and the extremely high prices.
contractors refusing to bid on work.
The section referred to was only
put under construction in 1922 after
second letting, bids received in
response to the first advertisement
in 1922 being considered by the
Commission too high The Com
mission believe they can carry on
the usual amount of highway con-
struction work but they certainly
cannot tell how much can be done
until they are authorized to go
ahead in the usual manner by adj

custom of the Commission in the
past if they We're unable to get bids
