The first commencement of the Val.owa county high schoal is ai epoch in the irjpTei of education In thii pointy. First, the straggling and struggling priva'e or temporary s.-hool of nion.-er days: then th? r-'e liar orsanizeJ district schools it) country and Own: then the adding of a few advanced studies dignified l-j the name, "high school grades." finally culminating in the sp!e:idi hi .h sihoj', se on l to note in the s.a?e. eiual to the famous old New England acalemies, and v.hert every graduate of a district slIuoi in all "ft'al'owa may receive an edu cation sif:icient, in 83 vocations out of 100, for aii practical purposes. The c'.ass of lt'09, three bright youths just entering into young man hood, are a credit to the schoo'.. their instructors and the county, but no matter how distinguished their future career they will always have occasion to feel proud they were members of t'u; first graJuitiug class of the Wal lowa coun'y high school. Why? Because the school will grow from year to yeir into greater ef ficiency and use.'ulness, and the day wi'.l come when its students will bf numbered by the thousands, and course, of study will not only trait the minds but the hands and bodies of all the youth of this great county empire. There is a glo-ious future in store for the cointy hiih school. CPFOF1TUNE TIME FOR BU1LD1MC MAIN SEWER. it has been suggested that this summer would be an opportune time to construct a main sev.-er from the high school down main street, past 'he public sthojl, court house, Hote'. j Enterprise and principal business houses, turning on West First street to Greenwood, pan the Commercial ! hotel and on to the outlet. The court bouse must have a sewer con nection, the st'hiols and hotels neet" It badly. l'n'e?s some mutual ar rangercent U made between the city and county board the latter will ,be compelled to bear the entire expense of a s?wer for the court house. It la!sj an opportune time because a contract could be made with the American Light &. Power company to dig the trench with the steam ditcher a'ter the completion of the water works at a cost much less than If the machinery and men were not already here on the ground. The expense could and should b? eijuitably distributed among three parties: The city, the county board and the private property owners directly benefitted. Just what pro portion or share each should pay ought to be eisily adjusted a-id no doubt would be. The main thing is to get together and the details will work out as a result of the confer ences. If the city is nof able to pay in csl iu share this year, it ought not be a difficult matter to negotiate its warrants for the amount necessary. STORY OF THE SENATE.

Insects, like weeds, are very difficult to deal with if you go at them one at time, but If properly managed they u ily held iu check. From the ndpolut of the damage they do. S divided into two 7" f fleld l" !1"1 tbose which are injurious to fruit uud crops. '1 HOT 1M . niimlup r9 Inniu... which attack corn. While these are seldom present In laree enoueh nnm. ' " w au; i-uusmerauie pun 0f the entire crop, the money value nrs to destroy any considerable part of the damage they Inflict on the corn grown on a quarter section each year amounts to no small sum. One of the most Important of these pests is the corn root worm. The eggs, which are laid in the cornfield during August or September, hatch during the next June or July. The worms when full grown are about one-third of an Inch long and as big around as a pin. They bore up Inside the roots. Injuring them so badly that the growth of the plant Is seriously checked. Often, too, the roots are so weakened that the corn blows down badly. Some time during August the worm goes through a transformation called pupation, which changes It into a small light green beetle. This bee tle feeds on the silks and tips of ears and lays eggs for the next year's crop of worms. Another Insect which lives on the roots of corn Is the root louse. These lice are very small and helpless. They are kept through the winter In the egg stage in ant hills. In the spring nfter they batch they are placed on the corn roots by the ants. The ants are very fond of a sweet fluid which is secreted by the lice, and they take care of them for this purpose. Other insects which do more or less damage to the corn crop are the stalk borer, wlreworm, white grub, bill bug. cutworm, etc. These insects live and mujtlply in grass land and from there find their way into the adjoining corn fields. Thev do the UB. A however, when the grass land Is ..I. i a pmwru un iiiiu put into corn. The damage from nearly all Insects affecting corn, small grain or grass can be readily prevented by a good system of rotation. This Is especially true If clover Is used, since such in sects as cutworms and grubs do not work to any extent on clover. The frequent plowing of the ground and change of crops where a rotation is fol lowed are fatal to most Insects.

These remedies, with the exception of the hist, cannot be applied to or- na. xri cobn plants uhjvuxd by boot WORM. chard and garden crops, since these must be grown on the same land year after year. For the insects affecting i iuese crops spraying Is the best reni- ' y- The principal insect that attacks the apple is the codling moth. These In sects pass the winter In a ball of silk, or cocoon, which they spin around themselves. These cocoons are hidden beneath the bark and under rubbish. pum as happen to escape the hungry search of woodpeckers and other birds change to the pupa stage In the spring. In this stage changes take place in side the body of the worm which ao transform It that early In June "it conies out of the cocoon as a amaU brown moth. These moths lay great numbers of Kgs. which natch Into small worms. These worms eat their way Into the apple through the blossom end. The apples thus affected usually fall off, and In a short time the worms crawl oit and again spin cocoons around themselves. The life cycle Is lived over again, and a second brood of the moths appears about the middle of July. It Is this brood which does tin most damage. It Is the worms which hatch from the eggs laid by them tluit are so often found iu fall and winur apples. Many poisons, of which parls grei-n Is the om? most commonly used, nre effective in destroying the codllns moth. Paris green Is usually used In connection with bordeaux mixture, which Is a remedy for the various fun gous diseases which affect the leaves and fruit To make this mixture dissolve Ave pounds of copper sulphate and five pounds of lime separately In twenty five gallons of water each. When they nre thoroughly dissolved mix the two solutions and add four ounces of pnris green. The lime In this solution Is added to prevent the chemicals from Injuring the leaves and to make the mixture stick better. Three sprnylnjrs nre sufficient for the codling moth. The first should be giv en Immediately after the blossoms fall, the second from ten to twenty days later and the third about the last of July. One of the chief Insect enemies of the plum ayd one which nlso attacks many of the other fruits Is the curcu- FW. XX A BPUATEli AT W02K Ho. The curcuilo beetle lays its e?gs in the young fruit shortly after It sets. Iu doing so it leaves a half moon shaped scar, which is its trademark. One of the surest ways of getting rid of this Insect Is to Jar the beetles from the tree at this time. Epraylng Is also an effective remedy. The bordeaux-paris green mixture may be used, but arsenate of lead Ls better, since it Is less liable to injure the leaves. It ls applied at the rate of three pounds to fifty gallons of water. The spray should be applied just be fore the blossoms open. Just after they fall and again about fifteen days later. Tolsonous sprays should never be ap plied to fruit trees while they are in blossom. It Is not necessary in order to destroy the insects and will kill many of the honeybees, upon which the blossoms are so dependent for pol lination. The insects that have been men tioned so far live by eating the leaves - cuiiujj luc IU'Utrs I : and '"lt and In doing so take up i ', enough of the poison to put an end to j ucoum-ie wont, mere is au- otIler clnss of insects, however, for which such remedies are not effective. -these are the sucking insects, of which plant lice nre the most common examples. Insects of this kind feed by drilling through the outer layer of the leaf or tjark and sucking the piant Juices. They thus escape damage from any poison which may be on the surface. To get rid of sucking insects some substance which will kill bv comimr in contact with them must be nsari There ls nothing better for this pur pose than kerosene emulsion. This ls made by dissolving half a pound of rovn in a gallon of boiling rainwater. This mixture is then taken from the stove and two gallons of kerosene add ed. The compound should be churned violently for a few moments bv pump ing it up with the spray nufnn and back into the pall. This causes the oil to mix thoroughly with the water Before using, this original mixture is diluted with six to ten parts of wa ter. A common Insect affecting garden crops and one that ls hard to handle ls the striped cucumber beetle. This to a serious enemy of cucumbers, quashes, melons and other plants of like nature.
