The green tobacco worm has seldom
if ever been more troublesome to the
tobacco growers of this state than the
present season. The long drouth seemed
to promote the Matching and develop
ment of these pests, which in some
fields were destined to consume the en-
tire plant unless growers used vigorous
methods to prevent. A dealer who has
Travelled the growing districts of seven
counties recently, informs the writer
that he had been in localities where
farmers employed boys to pick worms
in the fields, paying &c per hundred, the
boys earning So or more per day at this
work. 1t is most unusual thing for
Wisconsin farmers to be troubled much
with the tobacco worm and vastly more
damage generally results from grass
hoppers, but this year the green worm
has it over the grasshopper. The lat
ter pest, however, has not been idle by
any means. While the dry weather
was on and the fields presented nothing
fresh and green the hoppers took to to-
bacco and corn in such numbers as to
leave their indelible impression.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

1t it needed anything more to put a
final crimp into the tobacco prospects
OF the present season it has seemingly
come to us in the storm of last week
which swept the state with unusual
violence. The terrific WIND which ac-
companied the storm, with broad strips
of hail, appears to have done more
damage than was at first believed. So
much of the standing tobacco was wind
whipped or Frustrated that the per-
centage of rags" in the cured leaf
promises to be beyond the usual COM
putation. The hail belts, too, cover
larger areas than generally follow such
storms, and in localities the damage is
so serious as to preclude the harvesting
more than cutting stock. A'dealer who
has ridden country districts quite thor
oughly since the storm is confident that
fully go per cent of the standing fields
show injury from this storm. The
climax now would be an early frost to
put Wisconsin out of the reckoning as
producing anything like binder crop
this year. Misfortunes never come
singly, tits said, and the tobacco grow
ers Of this state seem to have full
measure of them this season. 1t is the
nearest thing to crop. failure we have
ever yet experienced.

Few of the delinquent ones don't
know Frank Fritts. Frank is a math.
tutor, and living UP to the precepts of
such a following, he despises poetry,
or, at least, so he intimated when he
saw his roommate studying Words
worth. Some time ago, his roommate
bought r. w. Services Spell of the
Yukon a little book of verses. One
day he missed the copy and it was
nowhere to be found. Finally the story
got out that Frank had taken the
book home to Chester, and n rainy
afternoon had hitched up the old mare,
put up the family umbrella and driven
over to a certain neighbours farm where
he remained all afternoon before the
open hearth reading the poems very
softly to a pair of big blue eyes.

THE NCOMPREHENSIB DIS
 TANT STARS

Sunlight is reflected from the moon to us in one and a fourth seconds. The interval covered by the flight of light in one year is, of course. 1S6, ,000 times the number of seconds in a year Yet the light of the very near est star in the whole heavens takes several years to reach us! The first star of the Centaur is about four and. one half light years distant. Mir Edward Irving has taken pains to give us an idea of what this dis tance means Some spider thread is so extremely fine and light that a single pound of it would be long enough to reach around the earth. To reach our moon would require nearly ten pounds of it. To go to the sun would take 3,712 pounds. Neptune's distance would require fifty-six tons of it, but to reach the nearest star would take a half million tons" Suppose we adopt a scale with the moons distance equal to one inch On this scale the sun will be over thirty-two feet away, but the distance of the nearest star will be 1,63e miles-from New York to Denver.
 After d discussion of the extent of the inverse, simon Newcomb, whose word is the last on astronomical mat ters. concludes that the light of the faintest telescopic stars is between three thousand and four thousand years in reaching us.-N. w. Mum ford in outlook,
