WAR is STARTED TO
KILL INSECT PESTS
THE JAPANESE BEETLE ONE
OF MOST DESTRUCTIVE TO
ALL PLANT LIFE.

A bitter war is being fought in the
United States today--a war OF in
sects.
On one side are the Japanese bee
ties. devouring plants and crops, kill
ing vines and trees spreading de-
struction far and wide.
Opposed to them are a legion OF
flies and wasps of special oriental
breed, brought here to hold their raw
ages in check.
AT present the beetles hold the adj
vantage. increasing their numbers and
their area OF operations year by year.
They were first introduced-no one
knows Just how-in Burlington, n. j.
being found there in 1916. At that
time they covered half a square mile.
Bv 1922 they had covered 500 square
miles. The following year they had
spread over $500 square miles, cover
ing great a section Of New Jersey
Pennsylvania and Delaware
How lar they will spread this year
can only be guessed. Hundreds OF
miles at the very least.
Enemies Imported.
But officials OF the department OF
agriculture are making every effort TO
stop the plague. At least two breeds
OF wasps and one breed OF flies have
been found in the orient TO be the
beetles mortal enemies.
-Four departmental experts are in
Japan and China. shipping these in
sects to the United States. A corps
OF experts in this country is breeding
them and releasing them in the striCk-
en- areas.
Meanwhile, the department is night
ing the beetles with sprays OF arsenic
of lead. common plant sprays having
been found to be ineffective.
Bv LAYING down a rigid quarantine
the department also hopes to check
long range spread of the scourge. No

grain and forage crops, or nursery and
greenhouse stock of any kind may be
shipped out OF the beetle-rldden dis
tricts without strict federal inspection.
New Every Year
During the next three months the
beetle scourge will be at its height
The life cycle OF the beetle is one
wear. AS an egg or grub it passes the
winter few inches below the surface
of the soil Bv late March or early
April the grub comes near the surface
and starts its ravages by eating the
roots OF plants grass and grain.
The full-grown beetle energies from
the ground in June-a red and green
insect slightly longer than a potato
bug-and the work OF destruction IS at
high tide.
Hardly any growing thing is spared.
Fruits. grains, flowers, trees, vegeta-
bles, shrubbery-all are eaten and de-
stroyed. There are at least 2l2 differ
ent species of plants now known to
be attacked b ythe omnivorous bugs.

aging circumstances. Leaving here
in the school bus $50 Saturday
morning the team was delayed two
and a half hours on khe Tower
Virginia road by puncture. When
three miles out of Duluth the en-
CINE broke down and the squad was
forced to awalk the remainder of
the distance into the city. Time
necessitated the immediate dressing
and playing of the boys without
any dinner whatsoever and with
only a hurried breakfast to sustain
them. Even at that the game was
delayed over a half an hour and
when the final whistle blew it was
difficult to see the ball.
The score is not a fair compari-
son of the two teams. The local
boys believe that they have the
better team but the odds were over
whelming. Ely repeatedly brought
the ball far into Superior's terri
tory but the offense would be then
repulsed by a penalty. Only in the
punting did Superior out-fash Ely
and in this the Superior kicker was
very proficient.
Ely outplayed their opponents
during the initial period. Receiv-
ing the ball in Superior's territory
they rushed over two first downs.
A five yard penalty set them back
but a pass ended in another first
down. On the last down a Super
ior man broke through and smeared
an Ely play on the vineyard line.
In the next quarter the ball was
in Superior's territory a greater
part of the time but penalties
checked scoring attempts. The half
ended without either team scoring.
In the third period Superior punt
put the bali on Ely's two yard line.
The Ely kick was partially blocked
and the ball rolled out on the ten

Pogorelc shot loose around the end
for two thirty yard gains but he
was unable to score. The final
score came when Superior complet-
ed a long pass which brought the
ball to the twelve-yard line. They
only made three yards in three at
tempts. Then they were given a
five-yard penalty and first down.
On the final rush the ball was push

scending when the game was over.

DISSOLUTION OF THIRD PARTY.

been so for years. This popularity
was supposed to stretch over into
Minnesota and the Dakotas. This
state has had its share of the stuff
which makes for dissention and
nauseated voters fiocked to the POLLS
as never before and registered their
disapproval. The Dakotas, on the
verge of ruin by the same factions
which on Tuesday attempted to get
what was left, also arose in a body
and killed the grab.
Latest returns show that the
country went overwhelmingly Re

Coolidge has the electoral votes of
33 states or a total of 374 electoral
votes; Davis IL states with 1876 cleo
toral votes and LaFollette one state
with 13 electoral votes. New
Mexico and North Dakota are in the
doubtful column and will probably
go to the two old parties.
Minnesota repudiated the Farmer
Labor ticket in its entirety. Only
in minor instances did this party
pick a few crumbs from the table.
Ted Christensen the Republican
