What to Do For
Cotton Leaf
Pest

Cotton leaf perforators, an insect
which destroys the cotton leaf, have
been noticed in small quantities in
cotton fields Of the valley, though
according to b. A. Harrigan, county
horticultural commissioner, they
lave not caused any great damage
and can be kept in check, if the
grower will take the proper steps
eradicate them.
The larvae Of the cotton leaf per-
color and less than one naIf an imch
long. When disturbed. they wrig-
gic violently. The work they do con
sists in pcrforating the leaves with
very many holes SO as 10 almost en-
tircly consume them. The parcac
pupatt are small whitc-ribbed co
co"ns, attached to the leaves or
stem Of the plants. The adults are
white with black dots and other
black markings.
Parasites do much TO keep this in
sect in check but where severe in
foStations occur, the cotton plants
should be busted with calcium ar
schatc alone, or with lead arseuate,
oao part TO four parts Of hydratcd
lime. From % to 30 pounds are
sufficient for an acre of cotton.
This dust can be applied with a
IIaversaek Duster or by shaking a
burlap sack containing the dust,
over the plant.

as 3l0h Tenth street, q fact that
throws still more mystery into the
ease. The handwriting and spelling
in the letter is said to resemble
strongly, that in the letter which
Truden left behind him, explaining
his duel with Kirk. However, it
has been proved beyond doubt that
Truden actually wrote this letter.
Bridal Photograph;
Among Truden IS effects is a photo
graph of himself and a man strong
ly resembling him, and thought to
be his brother. taken with two
young women. The picture has every
semblance of n wedding picture, as
the men have white carnations in
their buttonholes and the girls carry
bridal bouquets. The other man is
sitting down and Trnden is standing
with a girl ON each side, so that it
becomes difficult to decide which
one, if either, is his bride. An eff
fort is to be made to get in touch
with brother who lives in Forest
Lake, Michigan, in an effort to
check up on the picture.
Kirk s father and brother are still
in FL Centro, trying to assist the
authorities in utangling the facts
in the ease, but there is little they
can do to aid. Saturday they Wis
tied the scene of the tragedy, also
Kirk grave in Mountain View
cemetery. AS the body could not
be removed at this period of the
year, it will be allowed to remain
there until a later date when it will
possibly be taken mp and reinterred
( in San Francisco, Kirk s birthplace.
Tracks found Saturday afternoon
by the Imperial police led to the
spot between the ditch and the
fence, mentioned in Truden s letter
as being the spot where he and Kirk.
fought for possession of gun.
There were signs Of a struggle, but
nothing was found that could be
classified rs evidence.
The wild rumors that have been
circulating to the effect that anOth
er party was killed at the same time
as Kirk are secuted by the Officers
WHO nave Hldue many ScdfclleS OI
place since the tragedy.
AS time passes. the bulk of Tru-
den's letter is shown to be the
truth. The chief discrepancy is
that he does not state how he and
Kirk got to the scene of the duel
! he describes. 1t is several miles
from the hotel where they lived, and
| neither man owned machine. IT is
practically a certainty that they did
not walk out there, which makes it
appear that Truden either borrowed
/ a machine to make the trip, or that
third party drove them out there.
That Kirk may have been knock
! ed out, at or near the hotel, and was
/ taken to the scene bound and gag
| ged, is the theory held by practical
| lyNall who have'worked on the case.
He may have been unbound before
the shooting, and given the chance
for his life that Truden claims to
! have given him, but the authorities
are more inclined to the belief that
Kirk was murdered where he lay.
without having fighting chance.
| Those who know Truden best, how
/ ever, stoutly assert that his letter is
/ honest, and that it was his nature
| to be honest in all his statements.
and that if he said he gave Kirk his
chance, he did just that, even to the
! point of refusing to fire until he
/ had counted "three' as he had
agreed TO do.
