EVIL IN THE WHEAT,
Western New York Devastated by the
Deyourinp Worm

Western New York Devastated by the
Devouring Worm.
The weevi has appeared among the
wheat fields of Western New York for the
fret time in 40 years and is doing untold
damage to the crops. Almost half century
ago the pest swept through the wheat fields
Of this section of the state and devastated
them. There is hardly field in Orleans
county which is not affected and in many
instances the heads of grain is fairly alive
with the little worm.
The appearance of the weevil has about
paralyzed the farmers, for while a good por.
ton Of this years crop will be marketable
il is certainty that next years crop will be
almost entirely demolished. A great many
OF the farmers are already beginning to
make preparations to put in rye this fall in
preference to wheat. This is their only
salvation.
The weevil is a worm about the size of a
pin and varies in length from to 3.l8 of an
inch. When 1t begins to feed on the kernels
of grain it is of dull green. Later 1t changes
to bright yellow. 1t burrows into the
grain when It is in milky state and con.
sumes the interior, leaving nothing but the
shell.

Full Military and Medical History

Disability Act of June 1890.
Commissioner Lochren, of the Pension
Bureau at Washington, issued an orde. di.
recting that hereafter in making calls upon
the War and Navy Departments, for infor-
nation regarding the service of applicants
for pensions under the Disability act Of
June a. 1890, request shall be made for
full military and medical history of the sol.
lier.
Hitherto these calls have asked only for
the dates of the soldiers enlistment and
discharge. This new order is important,
from the fact that II shows a purpose ON the
part Of the pension officials to make more
searching inquiry than :formerly into the
causes of the applicants disability. and as
certain from official sources whether it may
not have resulted from his own vicious
habits This information is material, az
under the act of June 27, 1890 such appli-
cants are specifically barred from receiving

have received some money from the inter.

are said to be weak spots which may yet re.
quire liberal extension of credits. Other
cities have drawn less from New York be.
