AMONG the enemies which the

AMONG the enemies which the
"a farmer has to combat perhaps
none are more troublesome
than insects. Nothing is more
aggravating than to have promising
crop of fruit or grain attacked by
horde of bugs" and greatly injured
II not entirely ruined.
Insects, like weeds, are very difficult
to deal with If you go at them one at
a time, but If properly managed they
can be easily held In check. From
the standpoint of the damage they do,
insects may be divided into two
classes-those which attack field crops
and those which are injurious to fruit
and garden crops.
There are number OF insects
which attack corn. While these are
seldom present in large enough num-
bers to destroy any considerable part
of the entire crop, the money value
of the damage they infict on the corn
grown on a quarter section each year
amounts to no small sum.
One of the most important of these
pests is the corn root worm. The
eggs. which are laid In the cornfield
during August or September, hatch
during the next June or July. The
worms when full grown are about
one-third Of an inch long and as big
around as PIN They bore up inside
the roots, injuring them so badly that
the growth of the plant is seriously
checked. Often, too, the roots are SO
weakened that the corn blows down
badly. Some time during August the
worm goes through a transformation
called pupation. which changes 1T into
a small light green beetle. This bee
tie feeds on the silks and tips of ears
and lays eggs for the next years crop
of worms.
Another insect which lives on the
roots OF corn is the root louise. These
lice are very small and helpless. They
are kept through the winter in the
egg stage In ant hills. In the spring
after they hatch they are placed on
the corn roots by the ants. The ants
are very fond of a sweet fluid which
is secreted by the lice. and they take
care of them for this purpose.
Other insects which do more or less
damage to the corn crop are the stalk
borer, wireworm, white grub, bill bug,
cutworm, etc. These insects live and
multiply In grass land and from there
find their way into the adjoining corn
fields. They do the greatest damage,
however, when the grass land is
plowed up and put into corn.
The damage from nearly all insects
affecting corn. small grain or grass
can be readily prevented by good
system of rotation This is especially
true II clover is used, since such in
sects as cutworms and grubs do not
work to any extent on clover. The
frequent blowing Of the ground and
change Of crops where rotation Is fol
lowed are fatal to most insects. Dam
agp from these pests will be still fur
Their reduced II the soil is kept so well
supplied with plant food that the
plants can get a quick start in the
spring. Treated in this way, they are
more vigorous and better able to with
stand insect attacks.
These remedies, with the exception
of the last. cannot be applied to or

The principal insect that attacks the
apple is the codling moth. These in

or cocoon, which they spin around
themselves. These cocoons are hidden
beneath the bark and under rubbish.

GERMAN EMPRESS
CHEERS WRIGHT
IN RECORD FLIGHT
Alarmed as Aeroplane Sways in
nd-COurtiers Amazed
at Sight.

BERLIN, Sept. 30.-In the presence
of the empress, Prince Oscar and other
members of the court, Orville Wright,
the great American aviator, made a
record breaking aeroplane fight at
Potsdam today. Gliding into the air
from a perfect start, Wright steered
his machine upward until he had
reached an altitude of about fifty feet,
when he began to encircle the parade
ground In long, graceful loops.
Generations of repression did not
serve to prevent the royal spectators
from showing their wonder and delight.
The empress clapped her hands, waved
her handkerchief and cheered as the
,nrri,a'' ~,ided his strange new craft
through the air The machine was
always under perfect control, and as 1t
took the turns it heeled to the wind like
a cup-racer.
Unused to such spectacle the
watchers believed Wright was Falling
when the first turn was negotiated, but
as the craft righted and other turns
were taken in the same apparently free
and easy manner their anxiety was dis
sipated.
. Wright finally brought his machine
gently to the ground within a few feet
of the place from which he started. The
empress thanked the American for
making it possible for her to see SC
wonderful sight and expressed the
greatest interest in the machine itself.

ARMY SERGEANT,
AIDE OF WRIGHT,
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Strain Of Responsibility Too
Great for Governors
Island Soldier.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-Worried by
the responsibility of assisting the
aeronauts, Wilbur Wright and Glenn
H. Curtiss, in preparations for their
aeroplane flights at Governors Island,
Quartermaster- Sergeant James Caron,
of Company l, Twenty ninth Infantry.
committed suicide in his bunk outside
the redoubt at Fort Jay by shooting
himself through the head with rifle.
Caron had been delegated to assist
Wright and Curtiss in the preparations
for their flight during the past two
days, and this seemed greatly to ex-
cite him. During the late afternoon
yesterday when Wright was preparing
to fly he frequently turned to a soldier
near him and asked.
"Why don't that fellow go up? I
can't stand it any longer"
After Wright had made his last flight
last evening, and the crowd of visitors
had left the island, Caron went to his
bunk, and, as he was turning in. said
to his roommate:
Harris, old boy, good by"
Then Caron reached over to one side
and grabbed his rifle, and before Har-
ris could prevent him, placed it to his
head, and fired. He died almost in
stantly. He served four years in the
Philippines and during his service had
received several medals for bravery.

POLICE SAY HE is THIEF

Samuel Harris Declared to Have
Made Confession.

The capture of Samuel Harris, alias
Harry Berkman, who is locked up at
the Third Precinct station, seems to be
an important one for Plainclothesmen
Brex and Adubato, who arrested him
on charge of poisoning six horses be-
longing to Nathan Zemel, a charcoal
merchant at So Vincent street
Harris has been identified by New
York police, and is said to have served
several terms in prison. He was sent
to prison, the police claim, from New
York for a crime committed by him
on November 10, 1906, when, they say,
in company with another man, who got
away, he was arrested while trying to
crack safe in Allen street, New York,
that contained $4,000 in cash and sf0,-
900 In jewelry. In this case Harris was
caught in the act and sent away for a
term Of years.
In a third degree session that Harris
had with Brex and Adubato today ii IS
alleged he admitted that he had been
arrested number of times, but re-
fused to tell anything about the poison
ing of Zemels horses. He said that he
had been in the neighborhood of Zem-
els house on Sunday afternoon, but
claimed that he was there to size It I'D

that he was crook, but did not want
to be classed with the bum crooks
who poison horses. He was held for
further examination and today was
shown before detectives from Brooklyn
and Jersey City in hopes of finding out
his history.
