on his side of the bridge, (the ac

was underneath them. One of the

A CERTAIN RICH MAN.
He is one of the three richest men
in America, or one of the four rich
est; and he Isn't Mr. Rockefeller,
Mr. Carnegie or Mr. Morgan. His
first wife divorced him under tho
laws of tho state of New York and
tho court forbade his marriage at
least within a certain term of years.
But there aro other states, and tho
rich man may lawfully take a second
wife by getting beyond New York
jurisdiction. It is precisely at this
point that our divorce laws develop
one of the gravest scandals In the so
cial life of this country. A divorced
person, even when that person was
the guilty party, may dowlth Impun
ity in a neighboring state what ho is
forbidden to do in his own state.
Then ho may safely return to his
home, grinning at his own effrontery
in bamboozling justice.
In this situation, which Is by no
means novel, It is gratifying to read
tho following editorial in tho New
York Evening Post:
The coming marriage of a divorced
millionaire who has been forbidden
to remarry by the courts of this state
will serve a useful purpose in invig
orating the campaign for uniform di
vorce laws. ... In this particular
Instance, the divorced man is a resi
dent of this state, in which he has
large financial Interests. After his
remarriage ho will doubtless live in
this city, under the eyes of the court
which forbade him to remarry with
in the boundaries of New York. T6
the eye of common sense, this looks
like contempt of court. It seems as
If there were something that ought to
be done, even if our lax divorce laws
make it possible for him to remarry
legally elsewhere. It would seein
to be only proper that such a defler
of the courts should at least be com
pelled to live outside of the state of
New York if he will not respect jus
tice within It.
To dwell a moment on the social
aspect of this coming marriage Is
tempting. The rich man is the head
of a family which has long been su
preme in the fashionable society of
New York. His honored mother's
Invitations to her annual ball spoko
the last word concerning tho social
ambitions and conflicts of her time.
It will naturally be the son's aim to
force recognition of his second wife
by society as Its unquestioned leader.

THE POTATO STALK BORER.
A nest of increaslnc imnortnnno In
tills state is the Potato Stalk Borer.
Among many letters on this subject
by State Zoologist, Prof. H. A. Sur
face, tho following is a reply to a
prominent potato grower In Cumber
land county, in which the known
methods for the suppression of this
pest are given in detail:
" This potato stalk which you sent
to us is infected with the Potato
Stalk Borer. This is tho larva or
grub of the little black snout beetle.
It has been a very serious pest In po
tatoes In the eastern, -southern and
southeastern parts of this state, and
appears to be spreading.
" When the stalk is once infected
with tho pest, it Is really impossible
to do anything for it, tor the reason
that the Insect feeds Inside the stalk,
where spray liquid can not reach it.
Therefore, preventive means consists
chiefly of cultural methods, and these
must bo adopted. In tho first place,

ono should rotate his crops, and noti

is ono of the tnnaf. Imnnrtnnf mnnnn
of preventing other pests, such as
f . . IT.. . . . .
ocuu uuu i-oiaio uceties, as well as
tho Stalk Borer.
" As soon as evidence of the Stalk
Borer Is seen, which Is generally
made mnnlfest by tho yellowing or
wilting of tho vine, the vines so In
fested should be pulled and burned.
This, of course, does not help them
for this year, but It prevents the
spread of tho pest for another year,
and this is tllR rhlfif nnrimgn nr nh.
Ject in such pest suppression.
" A grower can detect the presence
of the Stalk Borer by splitting the
vines and finding the grubs at work

is one of the best means of helping
to get tho Stalk Borer under com

can bo recommended, besides close
co-operation of all people In tho
neighborhood who grow potatoes.
" This article will be published In
the newspapers as you request, for
the sake of giving this Information
to others who need It, as well as to
call tho attention of the public to the
very extreme Importance of the co
operation of growers of uny and all
kinds of vegetation, to tho suppres
sion, of pests by such cultural
means, and thus prevent such losses
from them as have been experienced
from this and the Hessian Fly and
other pests during recent months."
FOR GRUBS BORING IN SHADE
TRUES.
A banker In Clearfield, Pa., finds
that some pest Is boring Into his su
gar maple trees, and writes to State
Zoologist Surface for information as
to tho proper treatment.
Tho reply of Prof. Surface was as
follows:
" The best thing to do for sugar
maple trees that have been attacked
by grubs boring into them, is to find
the holes, if possible, and with a
spring bottom oil can, inject Into
each the liquid known as carbon bi
sulfide. Then close the hole with
clay or mud. Also, cut off and burn
the dying branches, and Invigorate
the trees by scattering around them
nitrate of soda, varying the amount
from one ounce to ono and one-half
pounds for each, depending upon the
size of tho tree. Scatter this broad
cast from the trunk to a distance
farther than tho branches extend.
Then water the ground well, seeing
to it that enough water "Is used to
soak well Into the soil. Then spread
a mulch of leaves, strawy manure,
or straw over tho ground, or keep
it well and thoroughly cultivated, so
that there will be a loose soil mulch
over it.
" This is the best treatment for
any declining tree, whether Its poor
condition is due to diseases, insects,
or Inorganic causes. Tho general
principle is, as far as possible, to
remove the cause of the Injury, stim
ulate the tree by pruning back, and
by fertilizing with a quickly-acting
fertilizer, like nitrate of soda, and by
watering, followed by mulching or
cultivation. Little else than this can
be done."
TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF
FRUITS.
A fruit grower In tho northern
part of the State has recently written
to the Economic Zoologist of the De-
marked "yaluo 1 Coupon" ono point
marked "Value 2 Coupons" two points
marked "Value 5 Coupons" flvo points
marked "Value 10 Coupons," ten points
partment of Agrlculturo requesting
to know whethor there was any
known method by means of which
tho size of his apples might be In
creased. Prof. Surface answered by
giving, the following recqminenda
tlons: " To Increase tho size of apples,
I beg to say that thero Is nothing
better than to water the soli abund
antly,' afer having scattered one
pound or two of nitrate of soda
around the trees, a llttlo farther than
the branches extend. If tho ground
Is' sloping, It is well to make a bank
around the lower side of the tree to
hold the water. This should extend
over an area nearly as far as the
branches reach. If you can find It
possible to soak several barrels into
the ground at each tree, It will not
only stop the dropping of the fruit,
but will make It of much larger size.
"Also, the immediate thinning off
of all damaged and Inferior fruits
will make larger and better fruits of
those that remain on the trees, and
will have a tendency to stop drop
Ping. " Tho dry weather has been un
usually severe on practically all
farm crops, and also on fruits. There
never has been a season when good,
thorough drainage and cultivation in
an orchard has told such a story as
this year. Fruits are staying on the
trees where cultivated; those not cul
tivated are falling quite prematurely.
" By thinning one is able to get
rid of the pests such as tho Codling
Moth, Railroad Maggot and Cur
cullo, If ho will destroy by promptly
feeding to pigs, burning or deeply
burying, those which he takes off."
