ment by Governor Richardson.

- Friday, April IS, will be Good

Christians. If any superior judge
has sentenced person to be
executed on that day, I will
postpone the execution until Il
later date. This does not mean
that l propose 20 interfere with

Caterpillar Pest
Seems Subsiding,

Caterpillars which have been ap-
pearing on lettuce, strawberries
and other crops as the result of the
development Of the larvae of the
thistle butterfly, are becoming less
active in their work, according to
Horticultural Commissioner p. A.
Harrigan. While there may be an
other hatch of these pests in about
two weeks, il is stated, they viii
probably do but little more damage
this season.
One of the simplest and most
effective means of getting rid of
these pests seems to be by drowning
them out by irrigation. AS n pro-
teetive measure. n ditch around a
field with flowing water has been
found TO be quite satisfactory. As
previously announced, arsenate OF
lead in any form should not be
used on crops destined for human
consumption, except under the sup
ervision of tile horticultural com
missioner s department.
