Other states are giv- ing attention to the plan and the St. Paul Pioneer Press, in suggesting that Minnesota be included in the number, says: If the experiment is undertaken here, we have an incomparable place for the encampment at Fort Snelling. That post is near to the two largest cities, and embryo soldiers could there drill, shoot, ride, run, maneuver to their heart’s content with the ut- most ease. It must be borne in mind that the plan of the business men’s volunteer training camp contemplates no con- nection with the Minnesota National Guard. When a sufficient number of men have indicated a willingness to devote a period of time to military training, the United States army will detail officers for that purpose. If the idea is taken up energetic- ally, we know of no reason why an encampment shanld not be hetd ac +ure-snelling this summer. The post is virtually empty, and a business men’s camp there would not inter- fere therefore with the activities of the regulars. But even if the nor- mal number of soldiers were at the post, the grounds at Fort Snelling are so spacious as easily to admit a volunteer regiment’s maneuvering there. The time is ripe for a movement in Minnesota on the order of that in New York, and we do not doubt that enough men could easily be enlisted to warrant the co-operation of the United States government.

A. O. Preus, state auditor, esti- mates that before the end of the ore year the 2,000,000 ton mark will‘have been passed. - The record shipment in Minnesota was 2,875,982 tons in 1913. “It is inevitable that future annual shipments will grow rapidly,” said Mr. Preus, “for, according to the rec- ords, there is an admitted tonnage of ore on state properties aggregating 144,000,000. The deposits "~ making up this huge tonnage are contained in the area covered by forty-seven leases, which on the average have thirty-four years to run, thus mak- ing the average annual output re- quired to exhaust these mines about 4,250,000 tons.

[Prepared by the United States depart- ment of agriculture.] The department of agriculture has warned the farmers to be prepared to meet the attack of the fall army worm, ‘which is coming east and north from Texas. When they first appear the worms are very small and feed beneath mat- ted grass, etc., but they- grow rapidly and suddenly migrate in myriads to the corn or sorghum fields. If the ground beneath the corn rows is grassy the worms will probably orig- inate there and feed there until partly grown before attacking thecorn. There is danger, therefore, that before the farmer is aware of their presence he will find his corn stripped to bare stalks and his alfalfa to bare stems. ‘Where a close examination of a corn- field shows the presence of the fall army worm actually attacking the corn the department recommends dusting them with powdered arsenate of lead, using three to five pounds per acre, mixed with two or three .times its weight of flour. This precaution is, of course, out of the question on forage crops or on corn afterward to be used as fodder on account of the danger of poisoning stock. In such cases 100 pounds of wheat may be mixed with a couple of pounds either of paris green or pow- dered arsenate of lead, preferably the former, and the whole mass worked into a stiff dough by the use of three to four gallons of molasses and the Juice of half a dozen oranges or lem- ons added thereto. If this is sown broadcast on the ground where the worms are at work they will feed upon 1t and be killed. This sworm, it has been found, will come to the pol- soned bait from distances of from five to ten inches. In alfalfa fields the immediate cut- ting and curing of the alfalfa is advis- able as soon as the infestation has been discovered. This will not only save the hay crop, but will cut off the food of the fall army worm and check | thereby the development of another generatlon, which may be many times more destructive than the first. As soon as the hay has been removed from the field the ground should be rolled with a heavy roller or brush I3 x * * x X * * * * * * * * * x x * x * x * x * * x x * x x KKK KKK KKK KK KKK U dragged, or the poison bait can be used. The habit of the moths of descend- ing an inch or two into the ground in order to pass into the pupgl state is of great importance in their control. It has been estimated that shallow culti- vation will destroy from 50 to 90 per cent of the insects at this time, the ef- ficlency of the measure depending upon the thoroughness with which the work is done. In alfalfa the use of the spiked tooth harrow or the alfalfa cul- tivator is best unless it is known that disking Is not injurious to plants. Cultivation of the ground between the rows of corn has been found to de- stroy nearly all of these pupae, thereby. preventing the development of another generation. Ordinarily there are from three to four or even five generations of the fall army worm in the course of a-year, the damage done increasing as each successive generation spreads. ‘When flelds are threatened with in- vasion, but ‘have not as yet become actually infested, a deep furrow should be plowed out around the entire cir- cumference of the field. Into this fur- row the advancing worms .will fall. They may then be killed by dragging a heavy log through the furrow, or in sections where firrigation is possible the furrow may be filled with water and a small quantity of kerosene sprin- kled over the surface. This will kil the worms almost instantly. » The fall army worm when a full grown caterpillar is about one and -a half inches in length. The body is striped on a ground varying in color from a pale, yellowish brown to black, more or less streaked and intermixed with dull yellow. On each. side there is a broad yellow undulating line more or less strongly mottled with red. When very young, however, the cater- pillar is nearly black. The worm will attack almost any form of vegetation that is encountered and owes its name to the fact that, except in the. extreme. south, it does not appear until very much later in the season than- the common army worm, which it closely resembles.
