The great question now is has this gentleman done his best in public office as a public servant of the people ? . Thlie letter is to bring: about a feeling wth the farming people and trchardists and land owners of the gd States to aid them in get-- 8 !ng another appropriation from Congress in order to fight the pests that ave been imported by the Bureau of Sntomology. The story that these lsects came into the country by ieir own free will, is all a hoax to lie. " The various insects imported I ave landed in the district in our na-o- n where the food values for these of insects were the i)ecial species The cotton boll wee-lost abundant. lands in the southwestern part of le country where the cotton belt was surishing at one time; European in the northeast part jjirn borer lands art of our country where the com sits ran close to the Atlantic ocean, ihich is a natural feeder into our creat com growing area. The Jap-les- e beetle lands in Pittsburgh and le surrounding districts to eat out The alfalfa weavel ieir substance. nds in Utah in the greatest alfalfa puntry in America, and all other insets that inhabit our country have len carefully placed where the food the. most abundant. L. 0. Howard, the Chief of the Burnt of Entomology, has had full targe of the insect control of the nited States of America. He and s bureau of Entomology only know in io. well what the forerunner of inlet control has done to the Ameri- .n farmer. The great question tfore us now is, Has the Honorable betor used due diligence to protect e American farmer to the best of s ability? We will analyse the in- in its true light in this tet question letter. Howards method of ntrol has been to import different ecies of supposed to be parasites, that they would eat up or lay eggs i the larvaes of the various named btects, and after thirty years of with parasites, he now II signs his office to some predeces-I- I r, and where are the farmers after ying this able stalwart gentleman r 35, years a salary with his which will amount to mil-n- s of dollars ? He leaves the rms and orchards all stocked, well si ex-riment- ing f sub-dinat- es 0E30E aoiaoi Had L. 0. Howard used his good office in 'fighting, the adult in sect, the cause of all the damage to the farming public the nations problems would have been cut short in the early stage in which these insects inhabited our country, for all moths are the parents of the worms that eat the crops all beetles and weavels are the parents of the worms and snails that eat the crops and forage. Had he exterminated the adult there would have been no insect borer for him to combat. The laying of moth eggs will range from 50 to 1000 eggs to each adult moth. Beetles will lay from 50 to 500 eggs to each adult insect. These eggs would be scattered over an area of from 10 and 100 acres approximately, then Howard wants the farmer to scout out these worms over this great area, when with the proper devices and bates the adult moth, beetle and weavel, and all other injurious insects can be lured into traps, thereby getting the adult moth which contains the eggs and adult weavel into the trap. This is done by plant life, which is intensified to bring them in. These insects can be caught by the millions at any time when the temperature ranges from 70 to 100 degrees of heat, and it is easily economically done. Any man in the United States can operate this device when he has the proper device and proper bait to lure them in. While this is being done the forage is being protected instantly, for when the adult is gone the effect is - va-porii- ng st . maQi southeast of Liberty park in our city, and our farmers raised the question.

Our insect problem has been a political problem for a bunch of wouldbe county agents, state agents, and quarantine agents, and quarantine areas.

He has built more of the bureau, and paid more attention to building the bureau than he has to the farmers of the United troubles. States, and their insect-peTheir big object is Laboratory Work. The farmer does not need laboratory work he needs insect extermination and be freed from the pests, and he should raise on his farm and orchards a high plant life food raised under natural law, without poisonous spray or poison in any form. I will here quote the words of Sir Isaac Newton our first agricultural chief, in 1862, the apple. It takes concerning the seeds in their purity to scatter the gastric juices through the meat of the apple which makes a high nectar. When poihonous sprays are used it interferes with the natural law. Natural law is Gods law with us. Utah at one time raised the finest fruit, flowers and vegetables in the nation. We had the nectar, we had the aroma, in both fruit and flowers. We had the finest hays, we had the finest wild fruit in the mountain, and nature was in a high orbit, and should have been kept in that condition until the present day, till we got what is called, scientific men men that believe insects have a prior right complete. You can fight worms for another 35 years, and leave the moths, and you will continue to have larvaes, but when the moths are gone, it does aoooc 15 W : DIAMOND DAIRY 1991 West South Temple St. w : : a SERVICE & QUALITY I |
