WORM AFTER WHEAT
Nebraska Winter Cereal Men Some
what Frightened.
PROF. BRUNER REAssUREs THEM
Cold Weather, He Says, Will Do Much
to Exterminate the
Pest.

Special to The Journal.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. S.-Winter wheat
growers in various parts of the state re-
port damage from the ravages of an in
sect pest resembling the army worm.
Specimens of the worm have been for
warded to Professor Lawrence Bruner
entomologist of Nebraska university, for
investigation.
Much damage was done last fall while
the wheat was growing, but the cold
weather in December stopped the ravages
of the pest for a short time and then it
commenced again, but was again stopped
Bruner replied to an inquirer:
In reply to your favor of the 24th inst. will
say that the worms you sent proved to be
caterpillar somewhat closely related to the
fall army worm. l think, however. that the
severe winter will do much toward destroy
lug these pests. At any rate, If you see
various kinds of birds in your field do not
disturb them, they will no doubt destroy
large numbers of these worms.
They are so nearly grown now that very
shortly after warm weather they will become
fully so and go into the ground before doing
much damage to the small grain. No culti-
walton method can be adopted that will be
of much use in destroying them, unless soon
after the ground thaws in the spring you
should go over the field with a roller In this
manner you might crush them.

LIMIT MEMBERSHIP
Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce
Proposes to Do 1t,
FOLLOW MINNEAPOLIS EXAMPLE
Values of Membership, 1t Is Be.
lieved, Would Be Enhanced
Very Materially.

Milwaukee, Feb. 8.-There is movement
on foot here to limit the membership IN tne
Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce WIN
the rapidly increasing demand for MEMBER
ship steps may be taken shortly by the board
of directors to raise the price of them or 10
limit them. This, if done, will be only 1ol-
lowing the example OF the New York ex-
change, Chicago and Minneapolis boards OF
trade and other commercial organizations
of the country, and such is the standing OF
the local board on other marts Of the coun-
try that should the directors take this step
memberships of the Chamber of Commerce
would, according to the statement OF mem
bers, double, if not treble, in value in a
very few months.
New memberships can be purchased a.
present for the sum of $1,000, but when the
old certificates of membership, which have
advanced from $40 to $6S3 in less than six
months time, reach the par value, it IS
believed that they will in less than a month,
! some action will be taken towards raising
the price of the same in view of the in.
| creasng benefits accruing to all members OF
the organization.
The wonderful advance in the values Of
Minneapolis memberships in the past year.
and the recent advances in Chicago have been
noted here with considerable interest. The
local traders believe they can make their
| memberships advance in proportionate degree
by limiting the number that may be issued.

New York, Feb. S.--The stock market
mas grown broader and stronger this week
after several checks. The first of these
was the postponement on Monday of the
supreme court decision in the Northern
Securities. case. The large engagements
OF gold for export was another. Confident
predictions that the supreme court will
refuse jurisdiction in the Northern Securi-
ties case were made the occasion for buy
ing stocks later. Continued ease of money
IN spite of gold exports was favoring
influence. Many rumors of new financial

troll OF the Metropolitan Street railway.

LESS FEEDING NOW
But Considerable Wheat Was Used
That Way.

Peabody, Kan, Feb. 81. L. Heath of
this vicinity, a we'll known stockman, says
the feeding of wheat in his vicinity has large
ly fallen off recently because corn is cheaper
than wheat. Farmers had large amount
Of wheat on hand and fed it literally as long
as it was cheaper than corn. Cattle are in
good condition, but there are not many ex-
cept those full feed. Farmers who had
little feed held it and roughed their cattle
along in order to have the feed to fatteI
them the latter part Of the winter when it
was expected prices would be better The
acreage of wheat, Mr.. Heath says, is very
large, and it was in good condition when it
went under the snow. If the wheat comes
out in good shape in the spring the acreage
Of corn will necessarily be very small.
