REGARDING WIRE WORMS.

Various Methods Tried for DESTROYING
the Greedy Parasites.
In many sections wire worms are
very destructive to growing crops, and
1t has been exceedingly difficult to pro-
tect vegetation from them. At the
Cornell university experiment station
investigation has been in progress for
the past three years to determine the
utility of various recommended meas
ures and to devise other effective ones.
Bulletin 80 contains the account of
these experiments and Investigations
Wire worms are long. slender grubs, of
q yellowish white color, having un-
usually hard bodies; the hardness and
form of body suggested the name
They are the young click beetles or
swapping bugs. as they are often called
from their habit of doubling quickly
with swapping noise when put upon
their backs By this movement they
throw themselves some distance into
the air and come down upon their feet
There are several species of these
beetles, the young of many being per-
fectly harmless, but others feed upon
seeds and the roots of plants which
they find in the soil Destructive
species of wire worms were placed in
breeding cages, and the following
remedies were tried:

HERE LIES
MARY EMMA LEE
WHO WAS
KILLED BY INDIANS
: on TBIS SPOT, AFTER 4 HEROIC
. DEFENSE. IN JULY, 1885,

AS two hundred cavalrymen grouped
around that lonely grave every man
uncovered his head in reverence for the
dead, and the story of that young wo-
mans death has never been told around
campfire in the west without making
mems hearts ache
This is the story: There were five or
six families of emigrants journeying
across the lonely plains when they were
beset by hostile Indians Mary Lee
was girl, only eighteen years old, and
had been brought up on the Iowa line.
The family consisted of father, mother,
two sisters and a brother. The attack
was made very suddenly, and Mary,
who was riding her own horse, was cut
off from the band. When she realized
this she turned and rode away and was
pursued by seven Indians This was
about o'clock in the morning. Her
horse carried her thirty six miles before
he became exhausted and when he fell
she made her way to the crest of the
mound and there scooped out shallow
rific-pit, piled stones up around it, and
prepared to die fighting.
The Indians were three miles behind
her when her horse gave out She had
a light Winchester rife. which was
fully loaded. but no extra cartridges
Her first shot killed an Indian, and her
second crippled another for life. The
other five dared not charge her posi-
ton. On the second day she killed an
other Indian and the other four posted
themselves in positions and waited for
hunger and thirst TO conquer her. On
the third day they were Joined by TWEEN
ty of their band, but the girl was not
attacked On this day an Indian, who
was creeping up to spy upon her, was
shot through the right lung and the
others contented themselves by drop
ping fire at long ranges to harass her.
On the fourth day not a shot was
fired. The weather was terribly hot
and the sun glared down on that mound
until the grass withered and shriveled
and seemed about to fame up On the
fifth day, an hour after noon, the girl
shot herself through the head and was
dead before any one reached her. af.

riors who was there and he told me that
she had been almost roasted alive by
that fierce sun. She had neither food
nor drink, and was little better than a
skeleton. The Indians simply stood
about and looked down upon her. She
had wealth of golden hair but
they did not scalp her. She
had rings on her fingers, but they left
them there They did not even take
her rife nor the saddle from her dead
horse.

no scalp
That was her eulogy. Two or three
years later her scattered bones were
collected and buried by a surveying
party. and today her dust mingles with
the sterile soil fifty miles from the near
estdweiling of one of her race. Bronzed
and bearded Indian fighters. reckless
and desperate cow boys, stern-faccd and
taciturn pioneers have whispered the
name of Mary Lee around the evening
campfire a thousand times since fer
death, but ever and always with gentle
tongue and a swelling of the heart. She

nothing is growing, and that they feed
and thrive upon buckwheat mustard
and rape. Therefore it is not worth
while to lose the use of the land for a
season, or to grow these crops to de-
stroy them
Of the insecticides tried kerosene
was effective when used in sufficient
quantities to thoroughly permeate the
soil to the depth of several inches, but
this makes it too expensive for ordi-
nary practice. The same was found
true of bisulphide of carbon, salt,
kainit, muriate of potash, lime and gas
lime. The poisoned dough seemed not
to attract the wireworms at all OF
the methods of trapping employed,
punches of fresaly-cut clover dipped in
paris green water and placed about the
field under boards destroyed a very
large number of the adult beetles, but
none of the bats attracted the larvae.
II this method could be carried out
Systematically for a term of years it
would doubtless be effective; but as
the Larvae remain in the larval state
three years or more. as observed at the
station and by European writers upon
the subject, it would prove very slow.

discovered, also has the same disadvan-
tage, as only the third year Larvae are
destroyed by it. 10 July of the third
year of their existence the Larvae
changes to soft white pup@ resembling
the adult beetle in form, and in August
the adult state is assumed, but. strange
TO say. the insect remains until spring
in its cell in the ground. ANY disturb
ance during this time proves destructive

p.owed and kept thoroughly stirred for
three or four weeks after July 20 all
these adults will perish and autumn
sown crops may be put in. II this
method of procedure is followed for
three or four years the soil will become
nearly free from the wireworms Short
rotations of crops can be planned to
bring this about

THAT "BEGGARLY MAJORITY"


The ex-organ is just as sore since its
enlargement" as it was before, and 1t
doesn't like to hear any ks about
the recent Republican walk-over which
swamped its own faction together with
the rest of the Democratic party. Stirred
to impotent rage by a few calm figures
which Gov. Ladd presented to the Gar
field Club banquet Monday night, it re-
fers to the Republican vote of the 9Th
inst. as "beggarly majority" not
worth Growing about. But considering
that it Is the first majority either party
has secured since the Bourn amendment
there is ample reason for congratulation
that it's on the Republican side. The
fact is, for three years the Democracy
have claimed the State and for three
years the Democratic vote has dwindled.
Gov. Ladd, who fought the first cam
paign following the adoption of the
Bourn amendment, reduce1 the Demo
cratic plurality of April, 1889, just
about 75 per cent. in his two succeeding
campaigns, and it only needed one more
election to wipe it out altogether.
If you want to learn the effect Of a red
flag on Needless bull just talk honest
election figures to the ex-organ. You
won't get hurt; on the contrary the ex-
hibition will be amoosin'.

The problem of pauperism with the
increase of population is yearly assuming
larger proportions. Its proper treatment
is one of the social questions which de-
mands close and careful study. Over.
seer of the Poor Cummings, in his an
nual report for 1891, (City Doc. No. 81
gives many facts and makes many sug-
gestions which should be carefully con-
sidered. There is no denying that
pauperism is an expensive cancer in the
body polite. Its cure cannot be ex-
pected at once. Extirpation must be a
slow process, yet there must be constant
effort to lessen dependency. accomplish
ing two objects at the same time; inn
proving the morale of the community
and lessening the drain upon the public
funds.
Charity there must be, but it should
be dispensed in way which will not in
tensify the evil. Mr.. Cummings ap-
pears to have been duly sensible of the
responsibilities of his Office his duty
towards dependents and towards the
public. The statistics attest his faith
fulness, amply vindicating the policy
pursued, especially in the way of aid
bestowed through labor. The establish
ment Of woodward for this purpose has
proved measure of wisdom. 1t has
materially reduced the expenses Of
the department, and, what is
better, has preserved the self
respect of scores of people by keeping
them off the pauper roll. Its laborers,
it is true, are paid from the city treas
ury, but for every dollar received there
is an equivalent. Of work. While the
yard is apparently non-paying it has
more than paid for itself indirectly, in
all probability, by deterring many shift
less and idle persons from seeking relief.
The yard also is bugbear to the pro-
fessional tramp; he avoids the city be-
cause he knows he will have to work
after his lodging in the station house. If
our citizens rightly estimated the value
of the wood yard, it would receive a
more generous patronage and be made
to pay directly.
Our citizens should more thoroughly
familiarize themselves with the affairs
of the charity bureau. The report of
Mr.. Cummings is calculated to give
them an excellent understanding of its
workings and should be read and di-
gested.
