MORSE DENIED BAIL.

New York, Nov. 10.-Bail was de.
nied Charles w. Morse, the fianancier.
who has been sentenced to 15 years.
Imprisonment at hard labor, at the
closing OF the United States circuit
court Of appeals today and it now
seems certain that the former multi
millionaire must remain in the Tombs
prison at least until December. next,
when argument on the writ of error
that has been granted may come up
One ioophole is left open to Morse's
counsel In tho decision, and that Is
that the judges decided that while
bail was denied. It was done 30 with.
out prejudice to renewal of the appli-
cation after a bill Of particulars is
fled"
Morse had been hopeful of gaining
his release from the Tombs today and
the denial of bail came as a hard blow.
His wife and son Harry encouraged
him In the belief that he would be free
by nightfall.
While Morse tried to hide his dis
appointment. he felt too cast down to
do so.
There Is one feature of the case that
Is particularly disagreeable to Morse
That Is that no matter how long he
Is compelled to remain a prisoner in
the Tombs the time will not count as
part Of the 15 years he must serve in
the federal prison at Atlanta in case
he loses his fight for new trial.
Judge Hough gave his reason for
refusing to admit Morse to bail. that
the case was not an extraditable one
and that 1t would be easy for Morse
to furnish bail through a bonding com.
pany as the prisoner was worth s22..
100000. Morse in an affidavit pre-
sented to the judges Of the United
states Court of Appeals yesterday de-
MED that he was a millionaire.

INFORMATION FOR FARMERS.

Methods OF Dealing With Corn Wee.
wills and Other Insects Injurious TO
Stored Grain.
During the growing season corn is
attacked by various insect pests.
While this plant can Withstand insect
attacks quite successfully under ia
vorabie conditions of growth, yet it
succumbs very easily under adverse
growing weather. While these pests
that attack the growing plant are
huctuating from year to year it must
always be remembered that when the
grain Is harvested and carried to the
cribs 1t comes face to face with the
granary pests. Unless proper pre-
cautions are taken every season
these granary pests cause enormous
losses to the stored corn--losses far
greater than are inflicted by the pests
that attack the living plants in the
fields. Every practical farmer knows
that these stored grain pests are
ever present where ever corn or other
grain Is stored in cribs that are not
weevil proof. This problem OF "weevil
in corn" is vividly before the farmers
now as is plainly shown by the letters
reaching the Station Entomologists
laboratory on that subject
We are here summarizing and dis
cussing the methods used by practical
men for controlling these pests and it
Is hoped that every corn grower will
practice as many of these methods as
possible not only this winter but
every year. We will then be able to
save at least the larger portion Of the
ly
1t appears superfuous to emphasize
the nature of the damage by stored
grain insects, but briefly stated. IL
amounts to the following: Infested
grain Is unfit for human consumption,
serious cases Of illness caused by II
having been reported. 1t is undesirable
for stock food, it having been expert
mentally proved that horses are injur-
ed by 1t. 1t is unfit for seed because the
young terminating plant is deficient
in food supply and diminution of the
crop is very apt to be the result
The principal insect enemies to
stored grain in this State are the rice
weevil and the Angemois grain moth.
The former is we'll known, being a
blackish beetle with long snout or
proboscis having four more or less dis
tinct red spots on the back. The wee

from crib to crib or between the crib
and field. The rice weevil has well
developed wings and knows how to
use them to advantage. OF the wee
wills it is therefore, the rice weevil
that chiefly concern us.
The other notorious pest is the grain
moth, which resembles q small but
