The wheels of justice, it seems, are beginning to move in the bootlegging rases which were started several weeks ago. Yesterday afternoon County Attorney Parley E. Norseth caused a warrant to be issued for Curley" Leahey on a charge of being a persistent liquor violator. The county attorney has ateo lodged a complaint against Yde Domingo, an alleged bootlegger, who was arrested on the sixth of last March and placed under a bond of $500 and no further action taken. As to tho numerous padlock cases, no further action has been taken since the serving of the warrants. Now tnat the wheels of justice ore beginning to move, let them be like the mills of the Gods" and grind exceedingly fine. However, one can but surmise how much longer these cases would have lingered had it not been for the publicity given these matters by The Post. THE POLITICAL SITUATION The situation in Weber ' county ispolitical still much mixed, so far as the Republicans are concerned. There is still a strong feeling over the state that Weber county is entitled to the gubernatorial candidate, provided, of course, agreement is made on the candidate. At this time it does not that such agreement will be appear Samuel G. Dye, announced candidate for governor, has strong backing for the nomination, and it is hardly probable that his friends will consent to support another candidate. W. II. Wattia is also strongly supported for the place, although he has not announced his candidacy, and his friends seem equally as determined for his nomination as those of Mr. Dye. This is the situation as it stands today. However, there is a determination on the part of many Republicans that the party must get together on the matter of governor, and effort will be made to bring about such a conclusion. State Treasurer John Walker is an Ogden man who has announced himself as candidate for secretary of state, and he has a large following in his home town. It is conceded that if Weber county gets the candidate for governor there will be little show for Mr. Walker receiving the nomination. On the other hand, should the candidate for governor come from another part of the state, Mr. Walker's chances for the secretary of state nomination is regarded as excellent. If the above deductions are correct, there is an excellent chance that Weber county will have a major candidate on the Republican ticket. NEW FARM ERA DAWNING The day of the complete electrification of the farm is fast approaching. A report by the New York State College of Agriculture says that last year in that state electric service on farms paid for itself twice over, and 215 farms to which a questionnaire was sent reported that electricity saved 8,608 working days during the year. Speaking on the same subject the South Alabamian, of Jackson, says: Some 6,000 farnNffllies in Alabama alone have begun we use of electricity in their homes Jeyd lights in place of bad; small movers in place of hand labor. .Chtipm now turned by motor. Power saws and efficiency, in place of hand saws and broken backs, now cut wood for the kitchen stove. Good roads, automobiles, telephones and hydroelectricity clear the way for better, more comfortable homes in the country than can be had in any city. The term rural which once meant isolation, inconvenience, discomfort, is fast coming to mean just the reverse." City Authority for Regulation of speed on state highof ways within the corporate limits cities and towns lies with the munici-alitiand not with the state, it is eld in an opinion rendered Tuesday by Harvey II. Cluff, attorney general, at the request of H. S. Kerr, chief engineer of the state road commission It is pointed out by the attorney general that the authority to regulate speed within the corporate limits of a city or town was conferred upon the municipalities long before the en actment of the state road commission law. The opinion of the attorney general declares the law gives the state road commission power to adopt regulations in regard to traffic on state roads not contrary to or in conflict with existing laws. As the cities and towns were given the authority to regulate traffic within their corporate limits long before the roac commission law was passed, the opinion points out, the attempt by the commission to regulate traffic within those cities and towns would be in conflict with existing laws. The regulations of the municipalities must be reasonable, Mr. Cluff declared.

The first two named belong to the sucking family of insects wiiich suck ihe juices from the plant. The aphis works particularly on the tender shoots while the leaf hoppers work on the under side of the leaf. The rose beetle is a long snouted insect. It forces its snout in the young bud of the rose apd in this opening an egg is deposited. When the young beetle hatches into the larval form it destroys the inside of the bud, feeding thereon to the destruction of the future bloom. It may be well to give briefly the method of reproduction of thess in- sects with a hope that the public may become somewhat familiar with them, thereby increasing the efficiency of their control efforts, for I realixe that otic of the chief factors of tho failure in insect control is a lack of knowledge as to how insects multiply and the proper time to combat-themThe aphids are bom alive and they reproduce very rapidly, for it is but a short time until the new born aphid is reproducing like its mother. The family of leaf hoppers make an incision in the under aide of tho rose jenf, for instance, and into this incision it places its egg where the young nymphs hatch. The nymphs are because they are wingless, the wirgs developing at a later period. It is because the hatching pcrio l of the nymphs is just beginning and the insects are tLercfnre very tender that ihc appliaction of control measures fare given now. There have 1x.cn different formulas given in the p st for the control of these insect.!, al have had their good and bad qualities. but it hup been founllhat an application of Nicodust, nicotine sulphate in dust form, is giving wonderful success because the dust penetrates all parts of the plant and in the case of the aphis and young leaf hoppers, it adheres to their moist bodies which means their sure death. The rose beetle also succumbs to this poaeiful powder. It will thus be seen that the application of nico-duat present on all forms of ornamental shrubs, flcwer-in- g plants, etc., that are infested with these insects at tne present time is imperative if we would gain control. It will he remembered that in tho case of the Virginia creeper, which is a beautiful vine and affords such splendid shade, that eu-- h year beginning about July it is desrocl by infestation of millions of these insects. The value of the shade is destroyed and in some cases people have dug them up. Now, proper treatment as recommended at tho present time and followed up occasionally with this insect-i- ( ide and a little effort will save them all.

Although the number of apple trees in the United States has been declining since 1910, no shortage of apples has developed and commercial production is increasing. The crop of 192(1 was the largest produced in many years. This apparent paradox is explained by an increased output per tree and by the fact that the reduction in the number of trees has taken place largely in scattered family orchards and in the less favorably situated commercial areas. Apple production for the market has been increasing materially in some areas, through better orchard management, better selection of varieties, and increased bearing capacity resulting from an increase in the age of the trees. For each 100 trees in the country in 1910, there were 70 and 64 respectively in 1920 and 1925, according to the. census. In round figures the decrease from 1910 to 1925 was about 79,000,000 out of a total of 217,000,-00-0 trees reported in the former year. The ' significance of this decline is modified by the fact that in the box apple region of the Mountain and Pacific States no less than 55 per cent of the trees were not of bearing age in 1910. Dy 1920, the percentage of nonbearing trees had fallen to 13, and the same percentage is reported by the census for 1925. It would be a distinctly unfavorable augury for the apple industry had plantings from 1910 to 1925 been large enough to prevent a decline in the proportion of trees not of bearing age. Present conditions in the apple industry are in marked contrast to those that prevailed 18 icars ago. In 1910 there were 15,000 1)00 trees not of bearing age bi the box apple regions of the Moun ain nd Pacific states. As these tree can s into bearing, the producing ca acity of the region increased cnori iousl; . In 1920 the region had 175 Lrees f bearing age for each 100 repi ted i 1910. From 1920 to 1925, howcler, lAe number decreased and in 192r Btood at 151 for each 100 trees of bearing age in 1910. In the' apple regions of the East North Central, West North Central, Mountain, WeBt South Central, New England and East South . Central States, the decrease in the number of trees since 1910 has been very marked. In the 'Middle Atlantic and South Atlantic States the decrease has been more gradual and at a lower rate of decline, while in the Pacific Coast States it has been negligible. For the country as a whole the outlook is for continuation of the downward trend but at a slower rate. In recent years planting of apple trees have been to a large extent in the eastern apple region and have een chiefly concentrated in the commercial areas.

It there exudes through the unconsolidated material on the bottom of the lake, and bubbles up into the water in the form of hollow spherical or tubular masses, one to two inches in length, and of threaJs and hairs, six to eighteen inches in length. The source of these seepages appears to those who have prospected this ground to be a bed of asphalt, two or three feet thick, which is encountered eighty feet below the present lake bed, and an underlying series of asphaltic beds, three to five feet thick, which alternate with beds of clay to a depth of 140 feet at least. More recent surveys indicate that the actual area underlaid by this bitumen covers about 3,000 acres, most of which is now under about five to ten feet of water, though at the. time of the accidental discovery of the deposits, in 1861, they were largely mark. Great Salt above high-watlake, in the intervening sixty-seve- n years having risen until now the bituminous bed is almost covered. From the time of General Conners visit until about twelve years ago, this remarkable bed of bitumen lay idle. Then an effort was made to find test petroleum there, and several howholes were sunk. It was found; ever, that the maximum depth to ll which drilling equipment would penetrate the bituminous limestone was eighty feet. No oil was found and the project was abandoned. About five years ago, prospectors going over the same territory found a black, thick liquid, about the consistency of tar on a very cold day, slowly casings flowing out of the five-inc- h in the holes which had been drilled for oil Bubbles through this heavy and virtually odorless liquid indicate that subterranean gases were forcing-iout. Tests made in several laboratories, showed it to be unlike any other asphaltic or petroleum product in the United States. Within the year, a new method of mining this bitumen is being tried successfully. Holes, six feet in diameter, are dug with the aid of steel caissons dropped through the water. These shafts are sunk to a point below the several beds of bitumen. The caisson wall is then tapped, at the level of the bed, and barrels placed below the tap holes.' Into theso the bitumen flows more rapidly than 'the. gas will raise it to the surface of the ground. It is, of course, impossible to pump the product from the beds. When tne barrels are filled, they are lifted out of the caissons and are ready for immediate shipment to the makers of reclaim rubber. .

Made into automobile tires, it is claimed to be better than any reclaimed tire on the market. It is not as good as new rubber for tire manufacture, however, but is considered superior to any of the rubber substitutes. articles, ranging "For from battery boxes to combs, it is claimed to be superior to rubber from the point of cost, since the bitumen-rubbe- r can be produced at about the price of standard crude rubber.
