No Hop Lice Yet. F. L. Washburn,
entomologist at the state experiment station
(Corvallis), in speaking of the bop louse
scare started this early in the season, says
the insects reporred as hop lice proved to
be not the hop louse at all, but members of
the family Rhizobunaj, root lice found in
the soil, preferably iu moist, clayey soil,
clustered on roots of sorrel,- grasses, etc.,
and even on the roots of fruit trees, which
latter habit and the? fact that a White, mealy
secretion is founti plentifully Where they
are present gives rise to a belief that
they are woolly aphis. Tbey do net in the
least menace the agriculturist, least of all
the top-growers.- Prof. Washburn adds;
"Let hop growers rest easy as regards this-
'stem mother This insect is not phrodou
humuli aud calls for no attention. Not un
til the leaves are well out need we look for
the hop louse. Then: let the would-be-successful
grower prepare his spray pump and
his kerosene emulsion or quassia or soap
mixture.

they succeeded in doing so.
For tho office of school superintendent E
L Bryan was placed in nomination-and was

He Went Through. Did yon fever, dear
reader, speculate on how small an opening
a horse could pass through ? Perhaps not,
bat W. E, Paul tells the following, aud
vouches for the truth of it : One night re
cently he locked his barn up as usual with
his horse; a well-grown animal, inside. In
the morning, when the barn was again un
locked, the horse was nowhere in sight; the
lock on the door had not been tampered
with, yet the horse was gone. Iu the rear
of the barn was a small hole cut in the wall
about two feet square. On examining the
edges of this opening a few hairs were found
sticking to' the boards. On looking through
the hole the horse was seen to be in a heigh
boring lot. Presumably he had Wearied of
his quarter i and decided -to mike a break
for liberty, which he did with the above re
sult, and without any injury to himself
further than the loss of a few hairs.
Arbor Day. Arbor day was observed
appropriately by both the College and pub
lic school. The exercises at both institu
tions were quite interesting and well attended.-
The' main' idea of Mr. Nash's
address at the college exercises was that we,
having a grand inheritance of ancient forest
trees- planted by . nature, should utilize
and not waste theirt, and We should like
wise, plant and foster new growth that onr
children's children should bless our memory
when we are gone,- Mr.- Nash made a feel
ing allusion to our lamented Senator Can
thorn, who originated the legislative bill
that gave to Oregon its Arbor day. Be
sides the exercises at the school and college,
which were thronged, later in the afternoon
the members of the Episcopal church met
for the purpose of planting trees ori the
West side of the church "to beautify the
House of God," after which Miss Snell
opened her hospitable doors to an afternoon
tea.-
