THE WORM AND THE FUTURE

THE WORM AND THE FUTURE.
Tidings come from some sections
of the "Black Belt" that the insect
pest with them assumes more
serious phase every year. Wheat is
infested with something that causes
much of it to fail at heading
time. The pine trees are in many
places entirely stripped of leaves by
a worm which appeared last year in
considerable numbers, and broom
sedge alone seems to defy insect life.
Such echoes as this, we believe,
are coming from every agricultural
section; certainly with us of the
Underwater it is growing more serious
every year. Garden trucks, fruits
and even shade trees, without the
closest attention, are sure to fall
prey to some species of insect life,
many of the varieties of these in
sects having never before been known
in this section. When thinking upon
these subjects we cannot refrain
from impressing upon the people
the great damage that the English
sparrow is doing to the rural Sec
tons. Disdaining to eat bug or a
worm himself and living almost
wholly upon cereals and fruit, he
drives the intoxicating bird from
his native haunts. 1t is too we'll
known to gainsay it that robins, the
mockings and bluebirds appear in
fewer numbers each year-in fact,
the valuable bluebird has disap-
peared altogether from some locali-
ties where the pestiferous sparrow,
with his incessant cbattering, annoys
such of these birds that he canno,
whip to so great extent that they
are driven to seek nesting places else
where. When a sparrow finds an
other bird nesting he gathers his
friends and they hover about the
alien nest chattering and quarreling
and sometimes pecking at the sit
ting mother.
It's estimated that each and every
robin is worth a fifty-cent piece to
the farmer because of the insects be
destroys. And right here rises a
question, should not all good clti-
zens seek to prevent the killing of
the robin by boys, and some men
who like to pose as sportsmen? We
have often thought of the great
good that our youngsters could do
the country in trying their guns on
the English sparrow, or of seeking
the eggs of insects for destruction.
Along our county roads nearly every
tree at this season of the year is
matted with the larvae of noxious
insects, the blackberry leaf in par
ticular being loaded down with the
eggs of the horse-ily, May-hy and dog
fly. School children, in their jaunts
along the road, could kill myriads of
these embryonic pests and save suf-
fering man, beast and vegetation a
great deal. But how many or our
adults have the thought to impress
upon their children the desirability
OF crushing out the pest and of pro-
tecting the lives of useful birdsl

One of the names connected

1t turns out that this is the same
man who was sent out by the
republican national com mittee in
1896 to make a series of campaign
speeches in Dakota. His first
appointment was in Milbank, and
as a glowing account of the ora
tor had been sent to the local
committee nothing was spared
to advertise the meeting and get
out good crowd. The speaker
proved to be an egotistical know

with American politics as a tur-

speech, which was at Webster,

hearty appreciation of the public
