For !nsects in the Soil
An amateur flower grower in Pitts-
burgh was considerably worried ahout
are as follows:
‘‘I have been referred to you by the
gentleman in charge of the Forestry
{that my perennral and annual plants
The annual plants were covered with
root lice.
“I elso found plenty of cut worms
around, so that after laying out my
! garden according to the best possible
| manner as to depth, drainage and
richness .of soil I am worse off in my
ninth year than I was in my first,
when everything thrived magnificent-
ly, because I presume the virgin soil
containgd none of these pest.
“I have interviewed seedsmen and
others here, but they don’t seem to
know of any good general plan which
is at reasonable, but are, of course,
ready to sell all kinds of remedies
which might be used on a few feet of
soil, but would be very troublesome
and costly to attenpt on a place of
fair size. If you will be good enough
to let me hear from you on this sub-
ject, you will confer a boun, not only
upon myself, but upon my neighbor-
hood, as interest in flowers has de-
veloped wonderfully in the last few
{ years. However, 1f che result after
years of attention, is to be only a crop
ot bugs that we can not get rid of, we
might as well quit.” .
To this Professor Surfaee 1eplied.
‘I cansay thatthe treatment for in-
sect pests in the soil or otherwise de-
pends upon the specific nature of the
pest that is present. As a rule, how-
ever, if the soil is kept properly culti-
vated and fairly free from weeds, in-
sects do not develope in it to a very
great extent, except on those occasions
or temporary outbreaks when one or
two species may increase considerably
in numbers. It should be found that
there are insects in the soil in such
numbers as to be troublesome, they
can be killed by making holes into it
and putting into each of these holes a
small quantity of the liquid known
as carbon bisulfide. ;
“The depths to make the hole, the
distance apart to make them and the
amout of carbon bisulfide to use in
each, all vary censiderably with the
nature of soil and the depth of the
pests. A compact soil, like stiff clay,
needs the holes closer together than
-
the fnmes will pass easier and farther.
On an average abont three holes
should be made in each squar yard of
soil, to a depth of about six inches,
and a quarter of a teaspoon of carbon
bisulfide poured in eace. ‘No harm
will come from making them closer.
Each should be closed with damp
earth as soon as it is treated with the
ligiud, and fire should be kept away
rom the carbon bisulfide and its fume
Ms all times, because these are ex-
|
plosiye.
‘‘Certain other insects, such as Cut-
| worms and Grubworms, can be very
| efficiently destroyed by poison, such
| as poison bait. The poison bran mash,
{or shorts with a very small quantity
{ care. But the people did care. Sul
a loose soil, like sand, through which |:
ded, and slightly sweeten with strong
sugar or old molasses dropped where
| taey can obtain it, will end them. If
| insects are eating around the roots of
plants you can destroy them by poring
| from one-half ounce to one ounce of |
{ carbon bisulfide into each hole.
to send us specimens of destructive |
insects'with full description, if possible
of their eggs, kinds of plants they in- |
jure, etc., and we shall doubtless be |
able to name them and give a remedy | |
for the same. Among the best means |
of preventing intects in the soil are
| rotation ..t crops and proper culti- |
| vation.

WA. . 8.108 LETTER.

| Special 46 ' 1 OC wwereial,
Charli s ¥. Murphy made William |
Sulzer guicinor of New York. The |
people ui ie state agreed. Sulzer |
was not honest, but Murphy didn’t |
care, and the people didn’t know. |
Murphy was Murphy and all that
Murphy ism and Tammany Hall stand |
for. Suiz r knew Sthat and didn’t
zel thought he saw a chance to ad-
vance himself at Murphy’s expense.
So he kick«ud Murphy in the face and
the crow applauded. Then Murphy
set out to tear Sulzer down. Now he
has succeeded. The court of impeach-
ment that he ordered has convicted
Sulzer aud rémoyed him from the
governorsiiip.
But it is the people of New York
who have been proven guilty.
The people of New York had their
opportunity last fall to elect as gov-
ernor a mun of proved integrity,
ability and independence. Oscar
Straus would have given an adminis-
tration reflecting honor, and not dis-
honor, on the state. But the people
of New York ignored that opportunity
and chose the agent of Murphy.
Murphy and Tammanyism have
now been -orought home to New York
in a fashi- n which no decent man can
fail to unuerstand. Nor can any hon-
est citizen of that state fail to under-
stand that between Murphy and his
machine and Barnes and his machine
there is no shadow of difference. The
two bosses and their gangs are ac-
tuated by the same motives, have
precisely the same purposes, hold ex-
actly the same cynical views of the
powers and privileges of office, repre-
sent the same sinister forces of in-
visible government.
No candidate who owes his nomifia-
tion to either boss can be honestly in-
dependent in office. The Sulzer case
settles that once for all. There is no
hope for the people of New York in
turning from Murphy to Barnes.
That is merely to turn from one sink
of corruption to another equally foul.
The one hope in New York lies in
the utter annihilation of both ma-
chines. The capacity of the people
of New York to govera themselves is
fairly challenged.
Anybody who has a sure recipe for
producing harmony among scrapping
Democrats can find plenty of jobs just
now in Washington. The party is in
sore need of the seryices of an official
harmonizer from the White House
down. The President is having his
own troubles over the currency bill
that he is trying to jam through Con-
gress before the first of December.
He is especially anxious to get this
part of his program through so there
may be time for at least a construc-
tiverecess between the special session
and the regular session, which con-
venes December 1st. All the recent
signs, however, indicate that he will
not be able to repeat with the cur-
rency bill the success he met with
the tariff.

First American Cigar Factory.
The first American cigar factory
was established in Connecticut in
1810. By 1825 there were numerous
small cigar factories in Connecticut,
Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylva-
nia, Ohio, New York, Maryland and
Virginia. The first tax levied on do-
mestic cigars and other tobacco prod-
ucts was laid under the internal reve-
nue law of 1862, which was a war reve
enue measure.
