It is the first time that the subject has been ade quately treated and its preparation was made possible by years of research work by the author. BY PROFESSOR A. L. LOVETT. Entomologist, Oregon Agricultural Callege. THE 12-spotted diabrotica beetle and the three-striped diabrotica are two of the serious insect pests attacking garden and truck crops. They are very general feeders, at tacking beans, squash, cucumbers, potatoes, the silks of corn and a va riety of other crops. They attack the blossoms of dahlias and asters, ragging and destroying them. The blossoms of orchard trees are eaten, forming buds devoured or blighted, young fruit scarred and malformed and ripe fruit tunnelled into and ruined. The larva feed on sprouting grain. and girdle and tunnel the roots and stems of plants. They mine the rind and skin of melons, cucumbers and squash where these are in contact with the eoil, giving them a rough ened, pimply appearance. These tun nels invite the attacks of decays and the total Injury may be considerable. The most noticeable Injury is to the foliage of growing plants. The beetles will collect on the foliage in num bers, beginning their attack when the young plants first appear above ground. Whole plantings are fre quently killed out or the stand so de pleted that replanting is required. On the older plants they skeletonize the leaves, leaving only a gauzclike vein structure. The silks of devel oping corn seem particularly appe tizing and occasionally where the beetles arc numerous the silks are go thoroughly eaten off, previous to fertilization by the pollen from the tassel as to prevent entirely the de velopment of kernels on the cob. In certain commercial trucking sec tions, of the state where the grow ing of vegetables for canneries proved to be an attractive pursuit, due to the activities of these beetles gardeners have abandoned the pro duction of corn and beans entirely. IS Black Spots on Wing Cover. The beetles are about the size of tndy-blrd beetles and are elightly more elongate, and the ground color is a greenish yellow or yellowish white. The spotted form has 12 black spots on the wing cover. The striped form has two black lines on each wing cover. The inside lines meet when the insect is at rest, thus appearing as three stripes. The diabrotica beetles pass the win ter as adult beetles concealed In pro tective trash about the field. They become active in early spring, attack ing wild gourd and the blooms of false dandelion, wild gourd or man-in-the-ground is a favorite food plant at this time. Whatever the food plant may be, they feed ravenously in the early spring, attacking with apparently equal gusto, dirty or clean, tough or tender, sprayed or unsprayed foliage. After about 10 days of feeding, many of the beetles become restless, rise high in the air and fly to new fields. These migratory forms constitute the early generation that attacks the young plants, just pushing through the ground. A common practice at this time is for the bettles to collect just at or just below the surface of the soil, feeding on the stems and sprouts. The plants are often girdled or cut off, the work much resembling that of the cut worm. Ksrirs I .Hid In April. About the time of their flight to cultivated fields, the beetles become more choice in their food habits, avoiding anything but the more tend er and clean growth. Any dust or spray acts more or less as a repel lent, although where carelessly ap plied may but serve to increase the injury by driving the beetles down to the untreated stems where the prac tice of girdling may become more pronounced.

The larvae tunnel Into I they are particularly a serious pest months and form cells in the soil where they transform to pupae and later to adult beetles. The new generation of beetles ap pear in numbers about the last of June or during early July. These beetles are present and active throughout the summer months, skel etonizing the foliage of the beans, cucumbers and similar crops, de vouring the silks of corn, eating the blossoms, foliage and young fruit of squash and pumpkins, ruining the blossoms of dahlias, asters and simi lar ornamentals and making them selves generally a serious nuisance to crop and ornamental producers. These beetles are unusually diffi cult to control and no one treatment ordinarily will prove entirely effec tive in checking them. The "trap crop" treatment has given excellent results in a number of commercial tests made. This practice should be supplemented, however, where prac Bill Andrus, A. D. Shelby, F. M.

Just a few of the old guard remain. To that few the old clock with its now dilapidated setting Is almost sa cred, despite the fact but a small per centage of our people know or care of its existence. We old-timers would like to see Its broken dial replaced and the old clock again set to run ning. If perchance City Engineer Lauergard's dream becomes a fact, probably the hall and with It the town clock will come down. If so, let us hope the papers of that day will from time to time contain articles detailing progress in the con struction of the splendid new build ing being erected on the site of the old Oddfellows' temple, southwest corner of First and Alder, coupled with a statement that the building will have a tower surmounting the main structure, within which will be placed Portland's first town clock, that clock which for over half a cen tury has so faithfully served the' peo ple of this city. given from which the grower may se lect such as best suits his needs. Screens Are Effective. Protective coverings, consisting of boxes, hoops or bent wires, covered with cheesecloth serve well for the protection of small plants. Wire screen cones were prepared and used in our tests as protective coverings. These cones are made of regular screen wire, cut in hemispheres. The straight edge of the hemisphere should be about 3 inches long. Get the wire screen of this width to make the cone, then draw the straight edge of the hemisphere together and sew with wire. These protectors, where snugly fitted about the young plants, will keep out all beetles. The cones may be used for a period of years. They should be painted with a good screen paint to protect them from the weather. Planting an excess of seed will be of some value where a stand is de sired at all hazards. Fertilization with some quick-act ing fertilizer has been suggested to aid young plants in making a quick growth and thus outgrow the In jury. Taking advantage of the apparent preference of the beetles for squash and beans, these crops may be al ternated where either is desired as a main crop or either of them may be used in conjunction with other crops as a trap. The squash is prob ably the more Inviting under most conditions. The trap should be planted about the border of the main field or a hill here and there. Proceed as follows: About 10 days before planting the main crop, plant a few hills of the trap. At the time of planting the main crop, plant more of the trap crop. Some two weeks later make another planting of the trap crop. W hen the first beetles appear. spray or dust the main crop with an arsenical poison. The treatment should be repeated as often as the effect of the previous application is lost. This treatment of the main crop must be thorough and care should be taken to treat every por tion of 'the plant above and below. The treated vines will prove dis tasteful to the beetles and they will collect on the trap plants, where they may be destroyed by mechanical means. Where no trap Is used, the beetles will either work below the treated portions of the plants, girdling the stem, or they will "sit with folded hands" and await the growth of new tender unsprayed portions. ItS is only for a short time in the early season and again when the new brood appears in July that the beetles can be effectively poisoned. Various substances have been rec ommended for treating the main field, such as wood ashes, air-slacked lime, tobacco dust and sulphur dust All of these materials are fairly ef fective, but. where used excessively some of them may stunt the young plant. For very small plants, use a dust consisting of one part of calcium ar senate or lead arsenate to eight pffrts of sifted wood ashes, air-slacked lime, or finely divided sulphur dust. This same treatment may be used on the older plants or the regular ar senical spray of lead arsenate, one pound to 25 gallons of water used. Where no r.egular trap crop tfas been planted, or planned, it is ad visable to leave an occasional row or series of plants of the main crop un treated with dust to serve as a trap to attract the beetles.

Adv. i BT DAVID S. STEARNS. READERS of The Morning Orego nlan and the Oregon Daily Her ald of a little over 50 years ago frequently ran across articles in these papers descriptive of the work In progress toward erecting the magni ficent Oddfellows' temple, on the southwest corner of First and Alder streets, these items generally ending with the statement, "When completed the building will have a tower in which will be installed Portland's first town clock." I can remember. boy as I then was, wondering what kind of a clock it could be, large enough to put on the top of a build ing. My mother being a widow with several small children, and widows pensions,, as with many other latter day luxuries, unknown, stern neces sity decreed if I wished to attend school I must work nights so car rying papers and lighting street lights (then of coal oil) became my vocation. For this reason probably that old clock became very dear to me, its bell tolling the hours or its bright face illuminated and telling the time were constantly in my thoughts, especially so by reason that boys of that early period were not blessed with watches. The fancy retail district ended on the north at Ankeny street, at what was then called ' the New Market block, in which was the market proper, about 70x200 feet, running through, the center of the building, which was located about midway be tween Pine, Ankeny, First and Sec ond streets. The ceilings were very high, not only for the first, but the second and third floors as well. The lower story, as the name of the building indicated, was used solely for market purposes. The stalls were on each side and a wide arcade ran entirely3 through the middle from First to Second streets. A band stand occupied a mezzanine floor or plat form in the center and from this was given band concerts on Saturday evenings. The two upper floors were really quite a large and commodious theater, called the New Market. The entrance, both to main floor and gal lery was by stairway from First street. Frank C. Barnes, James King and T. M. Papworth were all occupants of the market stalls, the first two as retail grocers, the lattefr in the butcher business. Portland's first coffee and doughnut( shop was run by a Frenchman, Frank Fabre. Among First street merchants were A. Delschnelder, William Beck, John Wilson (now Olds, Wortman & King), A. Meier (now Meier & Frank company), Clarke & Henderson (now Lipman, Wolf & Co.), B. I Stone (now A. & C. Feldenheimer), C. H. Woodard (now Woodard, Clarke & Co.), J. Kohn (now Lion Clothing company), Hurgren & Shlndler,. Leon Vial, L. C. Henrlchsen, Andrew Rob erts. Steve Skidmore, C. S. Silver, Ed ward Cahalln, Ackerman's Dollar Store, Dr. Weatherford, Alisky, He gele & Co., Gllman and Occidental ho tels, in which the postofflce was then located, and in the first named was Matthew Keith's famous oyster house; John Cran. P. E. Brigham, L. C Hen rlchsen, David Cole and many others whose names cannot now be recalled. About 25 years ago business com menced to move westward and from high-class department, dry goods, clothing, drug, Jewelry, notion stores and others a newer and, to Portland, a stranger kind of business began to appear. The show windows took on an untidy appearance. The merchandise displayed looked shop worn and old. The merchants them selves had a different appearance. In stead of being inside waiting to cour teously greet a probable customer, they frequently were at the door or sidewalk curb. Goods were put far ther out on the sidewalks. Stores were reduced in size. The glass in the win dows did not glisten as formerly nor the clerks present such a dapper ap pearance. The people on tne streets were not as. spry In their movements, nor did thy walk with the air of con fidence possessed by the former pedes trians. Joe Holladay's one-horse bobtail cars, hauled by old, broken-down horses, still ambled up and down, but they did not haul the crowds as in the palmy days, and thus came into being Portland's first old district. Frank Dekum built a fine eight story stone and brick building on Third and Washington streets, the ground floor for the use of Lipman, Wolfe & Co. and the upper floors for offices. Ted Holman and William Fleidner put up the Washington building. Fourth and Washington streets. H. W. Corbett erected the Worcester and. the Hamilton build ings. The splendid Hotel Portland was completed and the Perkins and Seventh and Washington 100x100 cor ner of the Imperial constructed. W. S. Ladd erected a four-story brick, lOOx 100, way up town, on the southwest corner of Fourth ana wasnington streets for Olds & King and a two story building on the northwest cor ner of Third and Washington to be occupied by A. & C. Feldenheimer, Olds & Summers and the Portland Trust company. Meier & Frank, not to be outdone by their competitors, purchased the 100x200 on the west side of Fifth street, between Alder and Morrison, and built a tour-story I structure covering, the same. An old pioneer lawyer, P. A. Marquam, owned the entire block north of the Hotel Portland. On the Morrison street side, 60x200, he built a nine-story business and office building with an entrance to a new theater, the Marquam,- now the Baker, which also he erected to the rear on Alder street. H. L. Pittock and Harvey W. Scott put up the Oregonian building, on Sixth and Alder, putting a tower on it, in which is installed the second town clock. When these and other kindred improvements were com pleted First street's prestige waned. The Oddfellows' building, with its clock, no longer Interested our peo ple. The organization has, however, till lately kept it running. About the time of the heavy November storm the south dial was broken; since then no attempt apparently has been made to preserve its usefulness. Some 18 years ago I moved to the east side of the river, and being fond of walking, on my way to my office of a morning passed the Intersection of First and Morrison streets, from where the clock is plainly visible. I am sure I but speak the sentiment of many old-timers when I say we all would like to see it set to work again. We have too few of. the old land marks left In Portland now. As the youngest pioneer must have reached Oregon territory prior to 1860, it will not be long till the last of that his toric band trill have passed to the hereatfer.
