P. W. Claassen Reports Control o San Jose Scale In Southern Part of State
P. W. Clausen of the department of entomology returned yesterday from an inspection tour of the fruit trees in the southern part of the state where he has been working with some twenty counties that have been bothered with the San Jose scale the past few years.
"Where instructions have been followed that have been sent out by the department of entomology, I find that the disease of the trees is well under control," said Mr. Claassen this morning. "We are devoting most of our attention to the nursery, and we pray for the scale and, if the fruit-growers will follow instructions, the disease will soon be stamped out."
Mr. Claassen also visited several places where the chinch-bug movement has been started and found that it has been killed. The department of entomology is encouraging the burning of all dead grass and trash in the winter time, so that the bugs will find a place to live during the cold weather.
"I am afraid that there will be no peaches or apricots in Kansas this year. Many of the trees have already buddied and there is no show conditions. It is impossible to make a prediction as to the apple crop."

GAS NOT REGULATED FOR THE CONSUMERS
Prof. H. C. Allen Offers Explanation for High Heat and Light Bills
"The only reason that I can offer for the high gas bills of last month," said Prof. H. C. Allen of the chemistry department this afternoon, "is that the pressure on the mains may not be regulated for the best interests of the consumers. That is, the pressure on the hill varies from three to seventeen inches water pressure. In the morning people will turn on the gas and leave it all day. When the temperature raises in the middle of the day, if the gas company does not reduce the pressure the consumer will burn more gas than he needs
"The heating value of the gas cor sumed in Lawrence is good. It is evaporated easily."
Prof. J. D. Newton was formerly of the faculty of the School of Engineering. He died in Chicago shortly after leaving the University. The insurance company is contesting the payment of the policy on the ground that fraud was practiced when the policy was taken out.
Professor Allen is just starting out to assist the Public Utilities Commission in its investigation of the gas situation in Kansas. He will make chemical analyses of gas from all over the state and report at the hearing of the gas companies before the commission February 24.
A number of faculty members of the University were called to testify in the case.
