Agricultural Short Course
At State Normal University, Normal, Illinois.

A one weeks short course in agri-
culture and household science was held
at the Illinois State Normal university
last week in which about 400 persons
were students, 1t was the third week
of a series of short courses in agricul-
ture that are being held by the State
Farmers institute and the state nor
NAL schools and universities The
courses are free to all and the instruc-
ton is the best. DR.. s. A. Forbes.
state entomologist, is one of the in.
structors in these courses, and the fol-
lowing are a few of his remarks to
classes in economic entomology:
THE BILL BUG.
81 choose corn insects for these les
sons because corn is the most impor
tant crop to the Illinois farmer.
"The first is the corn bill bug. This
insect ia an important one, but little
known. 1t Injuries the young corn
plants In the spring by making little
holes In the leaves and stalks in
way to diminish the vigor of the plant,
to kill some Of them. and to cause some
of them to grow UP barren.
Now If one sees black beetle with
its six legs clasped around the corn
stalk, and with long, curved beak or
snout buried In the soft stem. of the
young corn plant, he may know that
the plant is being hurt, He may know
that if this injury is extensive, If there
are great many plants in the field
that show this leaf injury, or finds
many of these bill bugs, he may know
shat that field was in timothy last
year and not plowed in the fall The
injury to the leaf indicates an injury
to the plant The presence of these
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-12-28

beetles on the young plant indicates
that injury is in progress.
HOW BILL BUG WORKS.
THE long beak of the bill bug is a
part of the head, and the mouth is at
the tip of the bill The insect does a
large internal injury to the plant, the
sappy substance has been eaten out,
and the solid substance of the plant
has been destroyed. To the base of
each of these jaws is a little thread
like structure that extends upward in
the beak and is notched like a saw
tooth, and as it works up and down
pushes things upward, but never down
ward. All the animal needs to do in
order to swallow its food is to chew it.
The little holes bored in the leaves
was done when the leaves were young
and not yet unfolded, and just one
puncture made all the holes.
PLoW FIELD IN FALL.
zone can readily come to the infer
ence that, as a protection against this
particular kind of injury, a farmer
about to put a timothy or any other
grass field into corn, should pillow it in
the fall as early as possible, rather
than in the spring. There is an occa-
sional occurrence of this kind of in
jury In blue grass.
INVESTIGATING A FIELD.
I'VE went to a field where these in
sects had done great injury ard found
1t had been plowed from timothy in the
spring, In a neighborhood. We kept
track of the field and when the corn
was shucked the corn was harvested
from the injured ears separately and
with the sound ears harvest
ed, making the comparison by weight

of corn per 100 ears. The field had
lost about IS percent of its crop as a
consequence of that injury. Corn grow
ing on timothy land is more likely to
be infested than corn growing on
other land, and now the whyfore.
This insect originates from a grub just
big enough to lodge in the hulled out
bulb of a timothy plant. The grubs
change to black beetles in the course
of time. The grub Injuries the timothy
crop, and in one field this year in Knox
county, 80 percent of the timothy bulbs
had been followed out by the grubs
of these beetles. And so this is a bad
place to plant corn unless the field was
plowed in the fall The grub comes out
an adult beetle in the late summer and
early fall. When the winter comes
on the beetle nestles in the rubbish on
the ground and hibernates till spring
when the eggs are laid. And that is
why fields should be plowed in the fall
for corn.
CORN ROOT WORM.
THE corn root worm is another in
furious insect which works at the root.
The eggs are shaped like hens eggs,
and under the microscope are covered
with little pits. six-sided. The corn is
never'injured by them the first year on
new ground. They may be found in
August and September feeding on the
silk Of the corn. When they first come
out of the ground the pollen is the first
thing they eat and collect where the
leaves join the stalk They lay their
eggs in the fall, apd then go abroad
and search for food when the corn IS
gone, but always return to the corn
field to lay their eggs. The female
goes into the ground and lays her eggs
one to five or six inches down in the
ground. Early in June the eggs hatch
and the young grubs attack the roots
of the corn, and as soon as the corn
root is big enough they penetrate It.
as they are shaped like a pin. They
leave brown burrow in the root

which dies as fast as they burrow it
and they travel from one root to an
other
ROTATION EVADES INJURY.
only old corn ground is infected by
these corn root worms and in order to
evade it rotation is necessary. You
may know when the corn in the early
summer comes up and is not even, that
there are several things that might be
the matter. But if the roots are found
dead with rotten, stubby ends, then you
may know the worm has been there.
The roots have the appearance of hav-
ing dried up and withered away in
stead of being eaten. They keep up
their work two or three months. Later
in the season the corn loses its hold
on the ground and when a heavy rain
comes it falls over and does not rise
again. From Farmers Institute Bull

WANTED MASONIC SECRETS
Husband Wouldn't Tell, So Wife Sue
 Him For Divorce

From the New York World.
 When Justice Maddox, in the supreme court, Brooklyn, yesterday ordered Harry B. Maher to pay his wife s60 counsel fee in a separation suit she has brought against him, 1t developed that the dulcet tone of his wfe's voice while she was hello" girl was that which had first fascinated him. But, Mather says, shortly after marriage the sweet tune changed to one of discontent. He also denies her charge of cruelty.
 Mather met his wife in October, 1899, when he was secretary of the Columbia theatre. Brooklyn. She was then at local telephone exchange. They were married in 1906 and spent their honey moon in Washngon. While at the cap ital Mather ayers his wife said to him: Now, Harry, you know there shouldn't be any secrets between husband and wife. I want you to tell me all you know about the Masons and the terrible things they do. I really can't be happy unless you do."
 Mather declined to disclose the secrets, and he asserts his wife tossed her head petulantly and said: T know a Mason who will tell me-" Mather says he boxed his wife's ears and left the room. After this spat the couple went to Somerville, Mass, Mather being employed in Boston. Later they went to live with his par ents, and one week instead of giving his wife his pay envelope immediately Math- CT says he first paid their board and handed over the' balance. He asserts his wife flew into rage and said:
 "n I can't handle our money, I know what I can do can go back to the New York Telephone company any time want to. That office Is full of grass widows and women who have left their husbands"
 bi xutf fa do ot tempt to carry out her threat, but an- noyed him in every way possible Once, he ayers, she threw a carving knife at him. Next, Mather detclarets. another man appeared on the scene. This man, he says, peddled milk and was student at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech noogy.
 Subsequently Mather's wife left him and went to New York. The case has been set for trial next month.
