THE WIRE WORM. .
Mr. V. C. Brock, county clerk of Sher
man county, has received a letter from'
the professor of etomology, F. L. . Wash
burne of the state agricultural college at
Corvallis, which contains that gentle
' man's description of the worm which
plays Buch havoc in our young grain
fields. The professor calls it the "wire
worm" which transforms after two
year's life as a larva, into the snapping
beetle (elatendae.) He claims that land
that has lain for two or three years
without a crop will be much infested
with the worm and that the first' and
subsequent crops will suffer unless such
crops are planted as are distasteful to
the worm and they are thereby starved
-out. He ' mentions clover as a favorite
food for these worms and says that low
moist land is more infested than- high
sandy soil. The professor's remedy for
their distraction is a rotation of such
crops as are distasteful' to them. Among
these he mentions woad, buckwheat and
white mustard. Woad is of no earthly
account to us any more than tar-weed ;
buckwheat might be cultivated in gar
den patches with profit, but its use as an
exterminator is impracticable, and any
kind of mustard, "black, white or grey,"
as a cure for anything is as bad as the
disease itself. Of course the white
mustard plant is different from the weed
known as "wild mustard," but if the
wire-worm of eastern Oregon is never
killed till we poison him with any kind
of mustard he will live a long time.
Fall plowing is spoken of as another
remedy, but while this is practicable we
haye no faith in it as a remedy for wire
worms. At any rate we have never
heard or known of any marked difference
between fall and spring plowing in re
spect to the ravage of the worm on the
grain subsequently planted on either of
them. It is said that in the old countries
"compacting the ground by rolling, or
driving sheep over it is practiced by
some farmers to lessen their attacks."
Rolling is very generally practiced here
yet we have never noticed any difference
between rolled ground and that which
was merely leveled by a clod-smasher.
The professor closes his suggestions by
recommending summer-fallowing and
then keeping the ground free from weeds
And any other growth during the sum
mer season. He says this ought to
starve them and perhaps it would but
we have a piofound impression that we
have yet a good deal to learn about the
habits and best means of exterminating
the Eastern Oregon "wire-worm."
PUNISHMENT DOES
CRIME.
PREVENT
Those who believe that to mitigate the
punishment of crime or to abolish the
death penalty will tend to lessen the
number of ci imes or murders will have
difficulty in explaining the statistics that
clearly prove that since the period when
punisments were mitigated in Europe
crime has largely increased in the coun
tries where such mitigation has taken
piace. Mr. Charles Scott in a late num
ber of the Juridical Review says: "In
T. C t ono i -. . . .
nux ii um loio 10 J.00- muraers nave
increased from 197 to 234; infanticides
from 102 to 194 ; blows and assaults from
8000 to 19,000 ; robberies from 900 to 33,
000, and so on with other crimes and
offenses. And yet from 1826 to 1884 the
population had only increased by- seven
millions. In 1885 the volume of crime
was still augmenting. In Naples, in
1832 homicides of all kinds, (uninten
tional included) amounted to 669, and in
1880 (unintentional not included) to
1061. Where the death penalty has
been altogether or almost abolished,
murder has increased in an extraordi-
. nary degree. In Belgium murders in
. creased in a frightful manner, whenever
the knowledge of the abolition of the
scaffold . spread ' among the masses.
From 1865 to .1880 murders increased
from 31 to. 120. In Prussia, where for
many years there had been no execu
tions, murders increased from 242 in
1854 to ;618 in 1880. In " Switzerland
where capital punishment was abolished
in 1874 murders increased in five years
-in the proportion of 75 per cent. The
same effect was produced in France and
.Italy." ; How ' will', the. modern crank
who holds! that' .punishment ib not're--formatory
and. that the death penalty is
not a, deterrent of murder, account ior
these facts?. ... '""""".":':.''.

A RAILROAD TO WASCO.
The Sherman county farmers are thor
oughly alive on the question of connec
tion with this city by a railroad that
shall serve both as a portage around
the Celilo falls and as a means of cheap
ening the freight on the immense grain
products of that fine agricultural county.
Already two meetings have been held
for the purpose of agitating the question
of co-operation with the company lately
incorporated in this city, for the exten
sion of the survey, already - begun, from
Biggs to Wasco. The interests of the
farmers of Sherman county, in this mat
ter, are so closely related to our own
that it will be a proud day for us when
we shall be able to record that a railroad
from this city to Wasco is an assured
fact. ...

WESTERN OREGON WEATHKB.
Cool, partly cloudy and cloudy weather
with occasional rain showers prevailing
during the past week. On May 30th
quite a heavy thunder storm prevailed
in the western portion of the Willamette
valley ; on the 4th, 5th and 6th showers
were general. There was an absence of
bright warm: sunshine.
CRors.
The -weather conditions have been ex
ceedingly favorable to cereals, causing
the prospects for harvest to beextraordi
narly good. General reports indicate
hay crop to be unusually heavy ; wheat
and oats appear to be in better condition
than for many years, if ever better at
this season. The cool weather and rains
have not been favorable to the straw
berry crop, which is now ripening and
berries are not as plentiful. Stone fruits
will not be an average, especially in the
Willamettee valley. The warmth in
January, the cool spring and frosts,
'" mi me nine were not supposed to
have done much damage, did really do
great damage. Fruit is falling off, and
some trees dyirig. Cherries and prunes
are especially injured. Cherries are be
ginning to ripen. Better reports in re
gard to the fruit is receive from portions
of Douglas and from Josephine1, Jackson
and Curry counties. Corn acreage has
been increased and is doing well. Vine
yards are unusually thrifty ; clusters are
forming. Hops are doing' well, in some
sections lice are reported, in others, es
pecially about Lebanon, Linn county no
lice are found.
EASTERN OREGON WEATHER.
, A lower temperature than the previous
week, together with partly cloudv
weather and general rains prevailed. In
some sections the rain was unusually
heavy. Thunder storms are generally
reported.
CROPS.
General crop prospects were never bet
ter at this season of the year, than they
are at present tnrougnout this section.
Farmers are jubilant over excellent
prospects. The rains were copious,
timely and very beneficial. New life
and vigor has been imported by the rain
to all vegetation. The hot winds of two
weeka ago did some damage, but it has
been more than recompensed by the
benefit the rain has been to winter and
especially spring wheat. "I have never
seen more promising prospect for
crops" writes a correspondent from Mor
row county and similar reports are re
ceived from every county. Crickets are
doing some damage in Malheur county.
Irrigation is in progress in Baker county.
In Wasco and about Milton, Umatilla
county, strawberries are very plentiful,
and cherries are ripening. Absense of
hot winds during the present month will
allow of the present excellent prospects
to be realized. B. S. Pague,

Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.
Milk may be canned just as you would
can fruit. Bring the milk to the boiling
point and fill your jars to the brim with
it ; then shut air tight. This will keep
any length of time and be just as good
