returned from Yoa-
sent by the commis-
sioner in response to requests of citizens
to investigate the pests destroying hack-
berr.v tms. and to recommend methods
of control, to better the situation u> much
as possible. In connection with the trip
Air. Miller today gave out the following1
fctau menu
"Th«.' insor ;. tint arc seriously threat-
ening to destroy t lie valuable hack berry
trees of Voaki:-if their ravages are not
< hecked, end the shade tree borers, a pest
which is Joins :-rtat damage to the shade
trees in many parts if this £?ate, espe-
cially in the cities and towns. U is a post
which deserv. s the attention of and the
destruction by every lover of trees.
"The prot. lion of shade trees against
insects has been for s< vera! years a
problem of rapidly ii"Teasing importance
in this State. In me first place, our birds
lire constantly becoming le.>s. especially
in cities, tin;., giving insect< a better
chance to do their destructive work.
Many of our most d • liable trees ar_*
liable to flow destruction by obscure in-
fect pests, whiel aro understood little, if
at all, by those immediately concerned.
Trees which have grown for years, be-
coming more attractive and more valu-
able year by year, begin to weaken and
decay, the owner not knowing why. This
is usually due to borers or scale insects,
the presence of w hich have not been de-
tented or suspected, but whoso injuries
might have been prevented if the farts
had been known hi time.
Cily tre^s, espp< ally, often have a hih'd
time to exist, since many have to grow
Tinder adv. -,*.' c nidHion It i«j qiilio
usual for the root system to be largely cut
off from oonnectii n with the surface by
pavements, etc., thus reducing the breath-
ing space. It also happens frerjuentl.
that when digging trenches for water, gas
or other pipe lines many roots are cut
and much of a tree's feeding surfa< e i3
destroyed. Furthermore, lesk: Kas'pipes
poison the sail, sometimes sufficiently to
kill a tree.
"Then again, it is not generally under-
stood that a tr »• makes a continuous
drain upon the soil and teat < ach year
some of the plant food originally in it.
is exhaust;.':, aid thus the amount be-
comes less year by year. \* a tree in-
creases in size, it therefore finds increas-
ing difficulty in securing sufflcent food
and moisture to Jv - p it in health and
vigor.
"Another important factor that often
weakens trees is improper pruning. In
removing branch* s never have a stub,
but cut them off at the shoulder; that is.
where they join the larger branches or
trunk. Then keep ti e wounds painted to
shut out moisture and disease. In this
way the w- unds will heal over quickly,
whereas a. stub or stump will never heal,
but a decay will set in which gradually
weakens the tree
"From the entomological or insect
standpoint, the matters are' import an:.,
because many inse* ts do not attack trees
until they show signs of weakness, and
this is especially true of borers, ^ When
a tree becomes thoroughly iiitestcd bv
borers it is a difficult matter to save it.
Hie thing to do is to prevent attack as
nui'"'i - possible by keeping the tree in
a 1 ealth> ;ruwlng condition. This ap-
pli s as a general rule, and one of the
l-.v, methods of preventing Insect injury
is i i k. e| tr> c.- in as thrifty a condition
;;S possible, <.;> that tllCrc is plenty of
plant food and moisture available.
••There ore several different kinds or
borers attacking shade trees, some of
the adults being beetles, while others are
moths, mo t of which resemble wasps
a great deal. The adults of the various
species lay their eggs at different times
of the year; some in the spring, others
during summer, and still others in late
summer or early fall. The work of the
larvae or borer proper of the different
species is very much alike*: that Is. they
lice under the bark and often girdle the
tree. W hen the bark Is removed you an
readily see the tunnels where they have
been working. Frequently a small amount
of sawdust on the trees reveals their
presence.
REMEDY FOR BORERS.
"As stated before, borers do not like
healthy trees, so the first important tiling
to do is to try to keep the trees in a
vigorous condition by the proper atten-
tion. Most haokberry trees have a rough
bark and these are qutya subject to the
attack ot' borers. They afford good places
for the adults to deposit their ogt-. The
rough trees should bo tiiorougly scraped
once a year to get rid of that sealv bark
Be especially careful with the still
healthy and unlnfested trees to prevent
borers from getting a start. Most people
make the mistake of not doing anything
to a tree until It is beginning to die, and
It, is then usually to late to sa>e it.
Whenever the work of a borer Is noticed
an attempt should bo made to dig him
out.
PRE VE X TAT 1VE WAS11E
"There are several good remedies reo
ommended, all of which are to prevent,
adults from depositing their eggs. Some
of the most effective are as follows:
"Formula No. 1—Half a pound of laun-
dry or whale oil soap dissolved in hot
water; half a pint of carbolic acid; three
pounds good stone lime (slaked); dilute
with enough water to give it the consis-
tency of thick paint; add a handful of
salt to every bucketful to make it stick:
a little Portland cement also helps to
make it more adhesive.
"Formula No. 2—'Thick whale oil or lye
soap, to which a pint of crude carbolic
acid is added to every ten gallons.
"Formula Xo. ,3—Forty pounds stone
lime, enough water to cover, half a pound
of salt or small amount of cement, one
gallon of milk.
"Since the various species of borers lay
their eggs at different tinvs tho trees
should be kept tiiorougly coated through-
out the spring and summer, aft< r the
rough bark lias been scraped off. At
least three applications should be made,
one in March, June and early .September.
The entire trunk should be covered, from
a little below the surface of the soil to a
short distance above where the first
branches start, because a great many
borers work at this place.
"If these directions are carefully fol-
lowed and the work is thoroughly done
the borers will have a hard time doing
damage, thus saving valuable trees.''

that they conspired to destroy tiie Fiereo-

Messrs. Seal;, and Greer expressed to
the Attorney General tho desire that
Governor Colquitt be present at the
meeting in the Law Department to hear
their reprtmentations. Mr. Walthall then
called on the Governor. The Governor
said he did not care to participate in ttie
discussion of whatever legal questions
might be involved. Later in
Scaly called on the Com nor, but this j
visit, it was announced, wus merely "so- 1
cial," the Governor not discussing the
business that brought the Magnolias
president to the capital.
The visitors produced affidavits, sign-
ed bv Texas directors of the Magnolia
company, to the effect that none of its
business or activities has been in viola-
Hun of tin Texas antitrust laws. These
affidavits were drawn categorically to
answer the several phases ot the Federal
indictment, and dented the existence or
intention by the company or its officers
of au alleged coi)*plrao> in restraint of
trade, ete. They told Mr. Walthall that
they were desirous of facilitating any in-
vestigation he might institute and stood
ready at any time to assist him in the
matter, with books# records, a<.counts or
any'oher course such probe might take.
Mr Sealy also mentioned that personally
he had not been concerned in any such
action as was charged in the Dallas in-
dictment.
Attorn* General Walthall merely
heard tin -o statements lie -aid tonight
that he did not indicate when oi where
he would inaugurate his investigation, it'
he does investigate, nor did he express
h.mself as to what effect, if any. the

on frovernor Colquitt today with reference
to the desire of (hat company to enter

recently to obtain a permit to operate in

plainly announced It was his view the

days visit apparently was "without re-

APPLICATION NOT APPROVED.
James L. Storey of Houston, Texas at-

presented an application to the Hailroad
Com mission that railroads be permitted
to issue transportation to inspectors of
tint Pullman Company by number instead
of on their passes bearing their name,
i'ddrese. i-nd employment. The matter
was at once referred to the Attorney
Oenorul, win advised orally that such
.method would l.e in violation of the anti-
pass law. which requires tree transporta-
tion to bear the Identifying description,
as above, of the bearer. The commission,
accordingly, (lid not grant the applica-
tion.
ft was desired that transportation be

was considered that much of their useful-
ness on Inspections is lost if their identity
is known, and the attorney said if their
credentials were merely numbered in ob-
taining transportation it would facilitate
their work.
