Shortly before Christmas, hunter Wilâ€" liam , of the Biological Surâ€" vey of the United States Department of Arrlt:lturo. working on the Rio Grande National Forest, turned a corner which brought him face to face with adventure four times compoundâ€" ed. He had a coyote poison laid to the northwest of Del Norte, Colo., on the divide between La Garita and Old Woman Creek. In the course of ridâ€" ing this poison line to check up on the results of his campaign he came across the carcass of a freshly killed fiveâ€"point buck. To continue the story in the words‘* of Stanley P. Young, junior biologist, | who reparted the incident to the Biâ€" ological Survey, "he noted lion tracks and that the killing of this deer had been done by a mountain lion. Having wonderful tracking conditions, beâ€" cause of the snow, he imn‘ledint.ely't struck out on horseback and followed the trail. Within a short distance he jumped four mountain lions and killed the whole outfit with his rifie," In s ng of his experience, Hunâ€" ter said: "The time was exâ€" citing for a few seconds, but I manâ€" aged to kill the pack." Mr. Young exâ€" pressed the belief that the hunter was telling the truth regarding the excitâ€" ing moment, and added that this was the best singleâ€"handed kill of mounâ€" tain lions in a short course of time ever made in that district.

The coâ€"operation of the entomologists in the various states in supplying daâ€" ta on the general and unusual insect conditions in each region is now so well organized tt:at the survey is in a position to re?t at any time on the entomological "Fituation prevailing in any part of the United States and. Canada. â€" This operative : agreeâ€" ment with Cnnad:oi-i especially useful &in the case of| pests which may be \just over the border, against which \preventive ‘steps may be taken. t In recognition of the survey‘s posiâ€" | tion it has been requested to partiâ€" cipate in the meetings of the Crop Esâ€" ‘cimate Board, to serve that hoard in | an advisory capacity on the status of | insect pests affecting the crops upon | which this beard issues estimates. ‘ ‘The survey has been in existence hearly four years. One of its funtâ€" tions has been the preparation of an index of common names applied to inâ€" sects in this country. 4e * STUDYING CONTROL . OF PECAN INSECTS Bureau of Entomology Seeking Methods to Exterminate Studies of various insect pests afâ€" fecting nut trees have been carrjed on by the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agâ€" riculture with in (the past year. Among these are included the larger and lesser chestnut weevils, the hazelâ€" nut weevil, the hickory twigâ€"girdler, PHONE HIGHLAND PARK 194 This Pest weevil the pecan nut caseâ€"bearer, and pecan Among pecan insects, the pecan nut caseâ€"bearer ‘has received special atâ€" tention. â€" Knowledge of its life hisâ€" tory has been amplified. Many exâ€" periments with arsenical sprays have been carried out in pecan groves to determine their value when applied at different times and at different dosâ€" ages. ~The control of the insect is considerably ‘complicated on account of the sensitiveness of the pecan .to arsenical sprays. Other materials, such as oil emulsions, have been testâ€" ed for possible use on trees while still dormant. â€" Not very satisfactory reâ€" sults have been obtained. The pecan weevil, which is quite injurious locally, has been the subâ€" ject of caréeful study both from the biologic and control standpoints, Preâ€" liminary results indicate that the beeâ€" tles can be killed by arsenicals while on the trees during August and Sepâ€" tember. The larvae, or grubs in the nuts, it has been found,: will sueâ€" cumb to proper dosages of carbon disulphide. A goodly number of parâ€" asites of the insects attacking pgmn trees and nuts have been studied from time to time as opportunity offered, and it is possible that some means may be found of encouraging them, -_‘.‘ F $ 7 wem Pf i ie j M e M | + F ,.é-' d ;!‘ ; «LB _ d C ( : > “ nsS ries . hA [ | C nmmmamcnd Th i l €5 IMczcczrzsz=zzM) : eams" 1 | U En n ts n ols dn d € & re 8 A)| EsE saed | o * , j / | bssssass | O pros 3 esA a i mm e‘e‘e v e e * e t yA id eal P * To s sc & 4 ® ‘I‘ I - 1 Fow ks sys Toxs { ‘.

This flood was caused by two periods of pheâ€" nomenally heavy rains lasting almost a month. Notwithstanding ample and timely warnings given by the Weathâ€" er Bureau, the crop loss amounted to not less: than $15,000,000. . A: large proportion of ‘the season‘s erops had nut been harvested, and 600,000 acres of rich farm lands were overflowed. Oklahoma suffered from two other floods during the calendar year 1923, so that the Canadian and Arkansas river floods brought its total losses up to about $30,000,000. * Another flood of very destructive: character during the fiscal year was that in the Pittsburgh district of the Ohia river in March, 1924. In this flood rapidly melting snows and high temperatures played an important part. There were no crops endangâ€" ered, and the timely and ~accurate floodwarnings kept the losses down to about $1,000,000, while the reportâ€" ed value of property saved through the warnings was $10,000,000. f The.third great flood of the year was the Potomac river flood, coinciâ€" dent with the Ohio river flood, under the same causative influences. This flood caused unavoidable damage to the extent of about $6,000,000. LOWEST POINT INâ€" UTAH NOT IN LAKE No doubt many people, if asked to name the lowest point in Utah, would answer "Salt Lake," which is the remâ€" nant of the great prehistoric Lake Bonneville, a body of fresh water that covered a large area in Utah. The lowest point, however, is not Salt Lake but Beaverdam Creek, in Washâ€" ington country, which is 2,000 feet above sea level, according to the Deâ€" partment of the Interior, Geological Survey. Utah has an approximate mean elevation of 6,100 feet, wh::d:l exceeded only by that of Col s 6,800 feet, and Wyoming, 6,700. The highest point whose elevation has been exactly determined is King‘s Peak, in Wasatch county, which is 13,498 feet above sea level. TANK WATER HEATER CLOTHES WASHER CHICAGO SCOUTS â€" MANY ‘ACTIVITIES INCREASE IN PAST YEAR Over 15,000 boys Enrolled In 489 Troops and Summer in Camps For Many of Them; Details Boy Scout activities in the Chicago district in 1924 were more extensive than in any previous year, according. to the annual report just completed, and the outlook for even greater things in 1925 is considered highly promising. The report shows that 15,438 boys are enrolled, that 439 troops ‘zre operating under an equal number of scoutmasters, and that 8,â€" 178 men are acting as leaders in caâ€" ipacities of . scoutmasters, assistant scoutmasters, troop committeemen, commissioners ‘and council members. Assuming that each scout lived up to the injunctions to "do a good turn a day," the 15488 scouts acâ€" complished a minimum of :M good turns in twelve Camps â€" ; ; Two summer camps were operated by the Chicago Councilâ€"the ‘Owasipâ€" pe camp at Whitehall, Mich., and ‘the Camp Checaugau in the Forest preâ€" serves. Three thousand four hundred and seventyâ€"five »boys "weekâ€"ended" at Camp Kiwanis at Palos Park, their expenses being met by Kiwanis clubs of Hyde Park and Englewood, Camp Int Hout served 1,450‘ scouts, and the west side cabin, recently opened, took care of 887 boys. Two more week end cabins have just been completed. With "every scout a swimmer" as .slogan.theboylewteomcilnd the American Red Cross taught more than 1,000 scouts to swim. Many lifeâ€"saving and first aid tests were passed at all of the camps. Leaders‘ training courses were run in each of the seven districts of the city, each average seventyâ€"five men. Just now a course is in operation training 100 members of the Knights of Columbus for leadership in Catholic troops. Good Turns Many i "It is practically impossible.to list | all the good turns done by the scouts | in the course of 1924," says the reâ€" port. "Civic good turns that seemed to have been much appreciated inâ€" cluded getting out the vote for the . presidential election. Scouts rouind‘ signed pledges from 150,000 voters l to register and cast their ballots. Ushers were. provided for: the H:i football games. _ Individual troops participated in the Defense Day exâ€" ercises as ushers, buglers, color guards, etc. Scouts bought and deâ€" ‘livered to the Lincoln Park Zoo an elephant which was named "Deedâ€"aâ€" Day." They helped receive and enâ€" tertain‘ the Prince of Wales, led a pilgrimage to Lincoln‘s monument in Lincoln Park on the anniversary of the emancipator‘s birth, and did many other things of a commendable charâ€" acter," Plans are being rapidly formulated for a campaign to taise $160,000 for 1925 Boy Scout work in Chicago. This campaign is to begin about the midâ€" dle of February. f URGE CARE OF MILK _ â€" IN COLD WEATHER Bureau of Dairying Warns Conditions In Winter A Often Unsanitary \ Men who handle milk are cautioned | to take particular care, even when laâ€" iboutory tests shows satisfactory reâ€" | sults, to see that milk does not leak ;m»mn{.lm before it has been | held lolenouhill&fll!u:‘:m- as such leakage may thwart pur=. ipono!mflnfion.
