Government Warns Farmers to be Prepared to Meet the At- tacks of ™ Destruct- est, Washington, D. C., July 12.— The presence of the fall army worm is.reparted in southern and central Texas and there is every reason to belijve that it will work its way northward as the season advances. Farmers in the line of its march therefore, are being warned by specialists in the United States Department of] Agriculture to keep a sharp eye upon their crops, especially alf- alfa, corn and the sorghums in order to prevent the pest from getting a start upon them. 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 between the corn rows is grassy the worms will probably originate there and feed there until partly grown before attacking the corn. 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 Depart- ment of Agriculture recommends dusting the plants with powdered arsenate of lead, using from 3 to 5 pounds per acre, mixed with 2 or 3 times its weight of flour. This precaution is, of course, out of the question on forage crops or jus and Profits nearly a.. growth of this institution. “The Old Reliable.” tor fodder on account of the dan- ger ot poisoning stock. In such cases a hundred pounds of wheat bran may be mixed with a coup- le pounds of either Paris green or powdered arsenate of lead, pre- ferably the former, and the whole mass worked into a stiff dough by the_use.of 3 to 4 gallons of mo- lasses and the juice of a half doz- en oranges or lemons added thereto. If this is sown broad- cast on the ground where the worms are at work they will feed upon it and be killed. The worms, it jas been found, will come to the poisoned bait from distances-of from 5 to 10 inches. Bryan Turned Down Suffs. San Francisco, July 9.—Dele- gates to the national convention of the Congressional Union for ‘Woman Suffrage were today dis- cussing the refusal yesterday of William Jennings Bryan, ex- Secretary of State, to aid in ob- taining indorsement of their amendment to the | constitution providing for national suffrage. A committee from the union called upon Mr. Bryan and asked him to speak to the delegates fa- vorably concerning the proposed amendment. In replying to the committee Mr. Bryan said: “T could never speak for your organization. ~I would never move one inch to speak for any cratic party, at the expense’of la- bor and tribulation of spirit, has taken up and solved two para- mount issues before the country —tariff and currency reform— and any body of women oppos- ing a party which makes such a record has not my support.’’ on corn afterwards to be used no rats, just go to Gosnell’s Gr ducks and gees, they eat up the corn and pop corn.

What the amount of the deficit will be no one can say at this time.’ That prophecy has come true although I thought at that time, in view of the dis- turbed business situation, that @\the deficieney would probably be than twenty-two million dollars. That it will probably be eleven and fourteen millions, and not exceed ness improvement during the last few months, and to the practice of economy by the Post Office Department. “That the European war is solely responsible for the decline in our. postal revenues cannot be denied.

Takes Over Wireless Station. Washington, July .8.—Secre- tary Daniels announced today he had sent Captain Bullard, head of the government radio service, to take possession of the Sayville wireless station in the name of the United States. It was said it would be run by the government like the « other similar stations’ under its con- trol. ‘ Neutrality violations were giv- en as the reason for the step. The wireless station at Tucker- ton, N. J., was taken over last September by the government. Both stations now are able to communicate direetly with Ger- many. . Seon Tt is said in naval quarters that there has been a conviction that German submarines were able to receive wireless messages: sent from Sayville. High naval officers have told Seeretary Dan- iels that they could not ascertain definitely whether that was true unless the navy’s own operators were in charge of the plant. That is understood to be one of the controlling reasons among others for the action of Secretary Dan- iels today. Girl Shot Married Man. Quanah, Tex., July 9.—Gar- land Radford, 23 years old, old- est son of Dr, G. W. Radford, one of ‘the wealthiest men in this re- gion, was shot and~killed last night by Miss Winnie Norris, daughter of Robert Morris, fore- man in the loeal railroad shops. Both the girl and her father were arrested. i Miss Morris*worked in young Radford’s - abstract, office last year and after some trouble, Rad- ford, who is married with one child, left here. He returned re- cently and last night. drove through the Morris place with a load of wheat. The girl met him at the gate and Radford jumped off the wagon and ran around it. She fired first with a shotgun, it was said, and then with a small ealibre revolver. Twenty-four “buekshots and seven revolver bullets were found MANY LIVES LOST IN -A- Missouri, Dlinois, Indiana - and Ohio Visited by Disastrous Storms. Chicago, July 8.—Between fif- ty and sixty-lives were lost and a hundred or more persons were in- jured in a series of violent wind and rain storms that swept over the vast reach of country from western Nebraska eastward to the Great Lake region and southward down the valley of the Ohio to its junction with the Mis- sissippi late last night and early today. Seven states were storm swept and the property damage amounts to $1,000,00@ or more. The storm, aeeording to the Chi- cago weather bureau, was sweep- ing eastward today, although with diminished intensity, and was centered over western Penn- sylvania. Tn St. Charles, Mo., where the tornado seems to have «started, three persons lost their lives, many were injured and the prop- erty loss was eqnsiderable. Four persons mét death in Tn- diana, one each at Martinsville, Vincennes, Bicknell and Putman- ville, and) many were injured. Vincennes, Terre Haute and Bra- zil suffered heavy damage and the Monon railroad was washed out near Lafayette. Three lives were lost in Tinois lon and one from Gilmore.
