Kirkendal and Angus T. Wright, Ogden has su stained an irreparable loss. Others will take their places and carry on, but the counsel and personal effort of these men has gone. In a way, they occupied different spheres of action, and were active in different fields of endeavor, but in the end their work culminated in the progress and upbuilding of their home city. These men now belong to the past, their life work is finished, but their achievements will long be reflected and become an inspiration to those who follow and take up the . work they have laid aside. The lives of men mark epochs in 'the history of cities in proportion to the service they rendered their fellow men. Some men leave monuments of brick and stone, some leave financial monuments, some leave monuments in the educational, industrial and poll tical world, but most enduring of all are the monuments of unselfish service to mankind. When a man passes to the great beyond leaving a record of service in which is blended all lines of honorable endeavor, we pronounce him the per feet man. Both of these men have enshrined their names in the hearts of men who have labored with them for the public good. Both will long be remembered for the good they have done in this their home city. THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER Oregon has always been intensely interested in high. standards of journalism, and has maintained for over 60 years a daily newspaper known nationally as one of the best in Our Country The Oregonian. On May 8 it mentions the daily Gazette-Timof Corvallis, a college city of 6,762 population by the latest census, saying: a model for country "It is well-nig- h newspapers to follow. The term country newspaper is not employed in disparagment either of the Gaette-Timor its field. It is merely common usage in the craft. The fact that many country newspapers are more faithful to the ideals and obligations of newspaper work than are many metropolitan newspapers. As a general classification there are included in country newspapers, small city dailies such as the one at Corvallis, Oregon, (merger of two weeklies), and all weekly newspapers published in country communities. The paragraph also pays a compliment to the ideal of the country press. es es General Survey of the Agricultural Situation (By LeRoy Marsh) The general agricultural situation in Weber county from a standpoint of insect infestation is below normal. For instance, last year there was used for cutworm control over 100 tons of poison bran mash in the control of these worms, while this year the infestation has been so light as to almost be negligible. It is true there has been occasional sporadic outbreaks in some of the tomato fields, but generally speaking very little damage has been caused. The potato flea beetle has also caused some damage to the newly set tomato plants, but wherever these have been thoroughly sprayed with arsenate of lead, tar soap and nicotine sulphate, good control results have been obtained. So thoroughly have the peaches and apricots been sprayed for the peach twig borer that it is doubtful whether they will have to be treated for the second brood. The Codling Moth infestation in the apples and pears is undoubtedly about the same as other seasons. The beet leaf hoppers from the present outlook does not give any reason for uneasiness, because of their numbers being few and the beets having had such a splendid start with the seasonable weather, so it is anticipated that not much difficulty will be experienced from the leaf hopper. The grass hopper situation is somewhat different. It will be found that there will be a heavy infestation of hoppers in those localities which are their breeding grounds. It ia well known that when the parisites that prey upon the hoppers are in abundance the hoppers are held down, but this year, it is evident that the hoppers have the upper hand, and we must be prepared to treat them with poison bran as soon as the wild vegetation begins to die. There has been a little root rot or damping off of the sugar beets, but this trouble is below the average season. It would be seen, therefore, in a brief survey of the agricultural situation generally speaking throughout this county that so far as insect and plant disease troubles are concerned that we are in very good condition; of course, circumstances may arise that will change these calculations materially, but they are based on the situation as we see it at the present time. It is the policy of the department of agriculture to be conservative in its statements and give the actual facts as they exist. It might be well in closing to state that the control of all insects as well as plant diseases in practically all cases depends upon how quick we begin control methods in these matters. Negligence often takes a tremendious toll, while if taken in time, would have prevented great ! and trouble. . s LENA Friday, May madesin pmups.rr.sir.': Business and Professional Womens clubs, is a prominent practicing attorney in New York City.
