Now that the Democrats have nomi-

Senator LaFollette and his third party

others. At any rate Silent Cal and

PROF. NEWTON EXPLAINS
WORK OF ENTOMOL0GIST

Before the Lions club last Wednes-
day evening, Prof. Newton, deputy
state entomologist, told of the work
which is being carried on in Delta
county.
To some the idea of making investi-
cations for the control Of insects and
other pests, appears TO be useless, but
if any person who doubts the ultimate
outcome of such surveys which are
conducted each year for the pest con-
troll could have heard Prof Newton
they would never again condemn the
work which he is doing.
The grasshopper he said causes con-
siderable trouble in some localities.
They have a poison which he informed
his listeners, was supplied at cost to
all the farmers. The proper poison
solution, one which has proven the
most effective from actual investiga-
tions, is obtainable.
The alfalfa weevil was explained.
Prof. Newton told why the quarantine
was necessary and how it worked out
to an advantage to this section.
He said last year 81 nurseries
helped owners to free their orchards
from pests. In Delta county alone,
S1,S92 plants were inspected last
season Some few rejected the free
inspection, he said.
Prof. Newton enlightened his listen
ers by telling just what had been ac-
complished In discriminating the
prairie dog. More than $4,000 gallons
of poisoned oats had been fed" to the
dogs In 1922 more than Is townships
had been cleared OF the prairie dog in
Weld county. Last year. he said. the
success was even greater than ever
before.
He told OF the establishment of the
districts in Delta county. In 1922 the
dogs were supplied with 314 gallons OF
poison; while this year probably more
than 1000 gallons will be used. owing
to the fact that the area OF the dis.
tricts have been enlarged. Complete
eradication, he said, was possible. by
their system OF follow up work. not
only with prairie dogs, but with all
other pests
He told Of how the rattlesnakes Of
Northeastern Colorado had been
handled. According to his statement
more than 1 900 rattlesnakes OF that
vicinity had been killed.
The handling of weeds. he said. is
very noticeable where the farmers CO.
operate and help along well studied
out lines for their eradication.
He told OF the work being done for
the benefit of the bee men, continuing
along upon this subject he said there
was always something new developing
in their tests.
Prof. Newton Is stationed at Paonla.
this being his third year there. He
reported that there was no evidence
OF the San Jose scale in that district.
The first investigation for the ex.
termination OF the scale was first es-
tablished in 1917. Three years elaps-
ed before any information was given
out to the growers. They first made
the survey and carefully watched
every experiment. Three years ago
the fruit OF that district was practi.
cally rs per cent worms, while today
the percentage will not average more
than three or four per cent.
