WIRE WORM KANS AS.
It is Destroying Thousands of Acres
of Wheat in Saline County

Secretary Coburn, of the state board
of agriculture, received a letter from
William Miller of Saline county, a few
days ago, stating that a worm was de-
stroying thousands of acres of wheat in
that locality. He enclosed several
specimens of the worm, and asked what
could be done to stop its TaVages.
Secretary CObuTn sent the specimens
on to Chancellor Snow, asking his opin-
ion concerning them. He has just re-
ceiVed a lengthy reply from Chancellor
Snow, in which the latter states that
the worms are what is popularity known
as the wire worm, and is the larva of
the chick or swapping beetle. He says
there is 40 poison known that will de-
stroy them, and that the only method
of dealing with them is by a rotation of
crops, and by poisoning the beetles be-
fore they lay their eggs, which is also
a difficult matter.
Mr.. Miller says that this is the third
year he has seen the worm, but it has
never before done any great amount Of
damage. This year thousands of acres
Of wheat will have to be resown on ac-
count of it.

TOPROCEED AGAINST HART
A Wichita Attorney May Prosecute
superintendent of Reform School.

P. A. Rohrbaugh, a Wichita attorney,
threatens to prosecute superintendent
Hart, of the state reform school, for
cruelty to children, or at least that is
what he told Ex-Governor Lewelling.
Rohrbaugh's grievance is based on
the story of L. J. Miller, the boy who
ran away from the reform school, and
who reached his home al Wichita after
being four days on the road Rohr-
baugh was a friend Of the Miller family
and the boys stories of cruelty on the
part OF uperintendent Hart and some
of the attendants aroused him. He
made a complaint to the Wichita hui
name society, and also wrote to Gov
ernor Leedy, asking that Hart be COM
PEELED to resign.
The tone of Rohrbaugh's letter made
Governor Leedy angry and he replied
that if he was convinced that Hart was
as cruel as Rohrbaugh intimated he
would not allow him to resign, but
would fire him instead. Leedy furth-
ermore said if Rorhbaugh had evidence
of Harris cruelty it was his, Rohr-
baugh's duty to see that he was prose
cuted.
Upon receipt of this letter Rohrbaugh
told Lewelling that if the humane soci-
ETY. did not bring action against Hart
he would do so himself.
