INSECT MAN IS BUSY
WORK AT RATLIFF FARM
Experiments This Summer Have Been
EminentIy SuccessfuI-Much is
Learned of Certain Breeds of In
sects.

w. ]. Phillips. special representa-
tive of the United States agricultural
bureau, is meeting with success in his
work at the insectory on the farm
of Walter Ratliff, north west of the
city. Mr.. Phillips is continuing the
experiments begun last summer when
the experiment station was establish
ed. The work will be conducted until
late in the fall. when the cold weather
has destroyed the most of the insects
that are common to this vicinity.
Mr.. Phillips is combining his atten-
ton to the insects that prey upon the
wheat, oats and barley and clover,
timothy and wild grasses. The in
sects are regarded as destructive to
the crops and the government has es-
tabliShed stations at various places in
the country to study the small Great
ures. The object is to prepare life
history of the insects from actual OBJ
servation and if possible devise some
method for frustrating the rigors of
their attacks upon the grain and
grasses.
is conducted from a collection of hun
dreds of insects that are confined in
twenty-five cages. Insect life in all
stages is represented by the contents
of the cages. Freshly laid eggs are to
be found and also mature insects that
are ready to begin the work of de-
vascation upon grain and grass. AS
soon as certain kinds of insects reach
a certain stage of maturity, they are
sent to the government insectory at
Washington. Here they are placed
under microscopes by experts employ
ed for the work and their future devel
opment is watched. Investigations
are conducted at regular intervals, sc
that after an insect has reached ma
turity, the government has a history
of it's existence from the time it was
in the form of an egg. 1t is claimed
practical benefit will be the result OF
the investigation and that within E
| few years plans will be devised fol-
the destruction of the pests.

Indiana farmers have a new peril
to contend with. known as "quack
grass" which is spreading over the
state and endangering all crops. The
pest is reported from various coun-
ties, and an agitation has been COM
menced by the farmers institute
which 1t is hoped will arouse all far
mers to the necessity of waging a
warfare of determination.
"Quack grass" looks like timothy
when young, but an easy way to dis
tinguish it is to examine the roots.

throws ont an army of root stalks,
which, IL cut in two. will sprout at
every point. Pieces of the root car

start growing whenever they touch
the soil. thus greatly increasing the
infected area.

WILL BEGIN THEIR
INSPECTION TO-DAY
Slaughter Houses, Meat Mar.
kets and General Sanitation
To Be Investigated.
WORK TO BE THOROUGH
DR.. DAVIS SAYS THAT If ANY
VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW ARE
FOUND, PROSECUTIONS WILL
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW.

Slaughter houses, meat markets and
the sanitary conditions of the city and
county in general will be inspe cted
this morning as a result of the recent
order issued by DR.. J. n. Hurry, State
Secretary of the Board of Health.
DR.. T. Henry Davis, president of the
State Board, will have charge of the
local investigation and will be assisted
by Oscar Mashmeyer, Thomas Gibbs
and John Seaman. DR.. George Grant
will have charge of the county inspec-
ton.
The committee will make a special
of the products of the slaughter and
packing houses and as to the sanitary
conditions which surround these oper-
ations. Also the sanitary conditions
of the meat markets will be looked
into. The point which will claim the
closest attention is that of the pre-
paratlon of the meats which are cam
ed or stuffed and strong endeavor to
detect the uses of chemicals or other
foreign substances in them will be
made. In case that any of this is
found the committee will send for an
expert who will come from Indiana
polls and make an analysis of the
samples.
If they are found to contain any
foreign substances the firms or parties
will be prosecuted. The law says that
the use knowingly of any substan-
ces not absolutely necessary to the
meat will hold the users responsible.
DR.. Davis stated IF we find any of
this in Richmond we won't fool with
thew as they did at Indianapolis, but
will have EN- in court on the jump"

Weather Affects Produce.

Local buyers say they notice the
effect of weather of the last two or
three days on eggs that come in from
the country. There is an increase in
the number of sun-hatched eggs. The
same prices are being paid. but the
market is weak.
There is a diminution in the mar
ket supply of butter, although it is
plentiful in thecountry. The shortage
is temporary, due TO inability of far
mers to market it until after harvest
ing. The quality, dealers say. is not
as good as usual because the usual
time is not being ta,,en with butter
making.

PURE FOOD LABELS
CONFERENCE AT AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT ON SUBJECT.

Representatives Of the meat packing in
ference today with Acting Secretary Hays,
DIR. Wiley (chief of the bureau of chemis-
try and DR.. Melvin (chief of the bureau Of
animal industry of the Agricultural De-
partmenD about the labels for their prod
ucts which they will have to use under the
meat inspection law and pure food law.
Both the meat inspection and pure food
laws provide for the use of labels on arti-
cles which come under those acts. Natural
ly the pure food law requires many more
labels than the meat inspection law. 1t is
the desire of the manufacturers, however,
in the preparation of their labels to kill two
their labels fill the requirements of both
laws. The meat inspection law will go
into effect, so far as the labels are con-
cerned, on the LIST of October, while the
pure food law will not be effective until
the LIST of next January.
The manufacturers of meat products hope
to be able to prepare their labels by the list
CT October, so that no change in them will
be necessary when the pure food law goes
into effect. 1t is a big task, for there are
hundreds of labels, each kind varying in
some particular from every other.
1t was discovered at the conference that
the labels heretofore in use by the packers
would have to be changed materially: The
changes involve the consideration of a
great mass of details, all of which had to
be gone over at the conference. 1t was the
opinion of the packers that they would be
able to prepare their labels by October 1, so
that they would conform to both the meat
inspection and the pure food laws, thus
avoiding the difficulty of getting out two
sets of labels.

MIGHTY hard. ON ToGs.
Service in Philippines Puts Scouts in
Debt

Nearly every enlisted man of the Philip
pine scouts in the Island of Samar Is in
debt for clothing overdrawn. This de-
plorable situation is due to hard service
in the mountains where the troops travel
frequently over country where there are
no signs or semblance of trails. Men are
compelled to carry an extra pair of Shoes
but after marches from ten to fifteen days
they return barefooted or else their shoes
are worthless and their clothing is usually
in similar condition. officers keep close
watch on all clothing, and no man is per-
mitted to throw away any part of his uni
form without the authority of a. commits
stoned officer.
Commenting on the insuficiency of the
clothing permitted for the scouts Brig.
Gen. James A. Buchanan, retired, late
commander of the Department of the vi
sayas, Philippine Islands, in his final re-
port to the War Department, says it is EVIL
dent to his mind that an increased allow
ance is necessary. He recommended fur
Their that continuous service pay be given

three months after discharge. The pay
of a private of the scouts is $50 per
month. just one-half of that of the Ameri-
can private of the line.
