This choinge In Cale's tempera ment is not due to the fact that he has gone bughouse but to the end that the fruit trees and crop of Jacltson county may be benefited. Ho plans to plnster the whole coun ty with hundreds -of thousands of liidybugs.: . ;,;": ,:' . .' .' He has just received 800,000 from E. F, Hedburg, the ranger at the Ilutton ranger station, who obtained the bugs while cutting down brush in the vicinity of the', station. So many ladybugs would seem- to sat isfy any one but a glutton, but the county agent would like as many hundred" thousand more. The value of the ladybugs lies In the fact that these apparently harm less little flying Insests," who are the slse of a potato bug -and are yellow In color, are death to the wooly aphis and scale, and therefore are Invalu able to the fruit industry. There fore, the public Is admonished not to kllMhem. v Cale declares .that these 800, 000 bugs, now on hand and being scattered throughout the county are worth 'not less than SBOOO to the 'agricultural and' "fruit'- Industries here.

He will keep up this distribution In. the various sections as long as the bug supply lasts. The ladybugs have proved a gront boon In California, and' re cently showed up In this part of Ore go In the Hntton rnngcr station vl cltyv doubtless having been at tracted to the Rogue Valley by Its famed climate and scenery.
