Paper
introduced in the legisla
tending to amend '.the direct pri
mry law. Among- other th
ia the fixing of a certain dal
May each year in which an elec
tion i held, instead of having
the date six months earlier each
two years. Whllu on the subject
of primary elections, it would be
a very good idea to arrange it so
that a candidate receiving a ma
Jorlty of alt votes cast at the
Drimaries should be declared
elected without further voting on
the matter. In case no one man
received a majority let the two
highest become the candidates
Of course this would apply only
to county and precinct officer
and would eliminate entirely po
litical parties in such elections,
which is already accomplished
under the present system. A
Mil has been introduced and will
probably pass, tQ have no pohu
cul candidates far Judicial offices
and what applies to that class of
officers would certainly apply
with equal force to any other ofll
cer. Whv not treat them all
alike?
BARKBEETLES
The secretary of agriculture an
nounces that investiiratlors con
ducted in 1907 and 1910 to deter
mine the conditions on an area of
more than 1,000,000 acre In north
eastern Oregon showed that the
killing of a large numWr of tree
by the mountain pino beetle had
i''.vt) going un In this area since
1905. It was estimated that thirty
five per cent of the lodgepole pine
on about l.OOO.OpO acres and fifty
per cent of the manured lodgepole
on 800.000 acres of the same area
had been killed, or a total of
8,000,000 tree. It was also enti
mated that 140.000 yellow pine hnd
been killed by this beetle and that
the invasion wu moving south and
southeast kuto the more valuable
area of yellow pint;.
In order to demonstrate the
pia;tiuahility of the uunuol measures
recommended by the expert on for
est insects of the Bureau of Entom
ology, an area of about 00,000 acres,
principally in the yellow pine, was
selected in which to conduct a beetle
control project. This area was lo
c.te,d snuth and southasV uf the ad
vance movement of the swarms of
depredating beetles in order to
check It. The project was organ
ised in 1910, under a co-operative
agreement between the Bureau of
Entomology, the forest service and
private owners,' according to which
tho Branch of Forest Insects of the
Bureau of Entomology made the
investigations, recorhtnendeij the
methods and gave Instructions, and
the. forest servlco and private
owners furnished the funds for the
actual control work which was com
pleted June 30, 1911.
,
In the spring and-summer of 1912,
H thorough inspection was made of
lh,u treated area, gjmilar un
treated or cheek area in another
forottt was also examined. It was
found that on the 87,950 acres of
the treated area the number of trees
killed by the insects had decreased
from 37,178 trees to 4,fi98. a re
duction of 3,4KQ trees, or more than
NO per cent, while on the untreated
urea in the other forest there
was no decrease and in one ttmall
isolated area the increime in the
',umljer of t,rqfi killed was two hun
Ured and forty per cent.
The results of this project, under:
taken as it was, strictly as a demon
stration, forcibly brings out the
points that even under unfavor
able conditions of a well-established
and widespread dying of trees from
nsect attack it is possible and prac
ticable to treat a small part of such
