On Behalf of the Old Trail.

A bulletin recently issued by
the Highway department of the
State Board of Agriculture con-
tains a letter written by Mrs.
William Aull of this city, repre-
senting the D. A. R. in behalf
of the Santa Fe-Boone's Lick
route. This letter undoubtedly
had large influence in the Sc
lection of the route. 1t follows;
To His Excellency, Governor Her
bert S. Hadley, Hon. Curtis
Hill, State Highway Engineer,
The Honorable State Board Of
Agriculture
A land without memories is a
land without history; a land
without recognized history is as
a land blank Of memories. A
land with an overlay of rich
experiences whose people neg
lect to record lastingly for the
pride and uplift of posterity does
an irreparable injustice to the
race of men.
America is as old as Asia,
Africa or Europe; Missouri is as
old as Palestine. The markings
left her by her ancient peoples,
the mound-builders, are be-
ginning to be valued and pro
tected from the hand Of the de-
spoiler, and are now cherished as
volumes in the great library Of
Time. SO, too, with the history
and racial life of the American
Indian. And this because where
ever any human has left its
traces on the bosom of mother
earth there is left also an in
eradicable interest and charm
for all who come after. There
is indestructible magnetism in
the favored spots of ground
where has been Lived the lives
of adventurous people, where eff
fort and achievement have haC
play, where success has height
ened endeavor, and where the
tragedy of failure has brought
out tears and patience to the
tired, but never despair.
Such a magnetism as this
resides now in the Old Sante Fe
Trail. 1t cannot be Outsed in
favor of any later experiences, ii
is the soul of which the Trail is
the body. The trail has been

Fall Army Worms Busy.

ton at Columbia, is receiving
daily a large number of in
quiries concerning a worm which
is doing great damage to wheat,
rye, and winter oats in various
parts of the state. Referring to
this pest Leonard Haseman, Sta
ton Entomologist, makes the
following statement;
"The small variously marked
caterpillar which is injuring
wheat, rye, alfalfa and other
field crops is the so-called Fall
Army Worm. This pest has
three generations each year
though only the fall brood is of
Importance. The unusually dry
summer has permitted the pest to
multiply rapidly without being
checked by disease and parasites.
This insect breeds ordinarily in
pastures and meadows where its
work is of little Importance. But
this fall, wheat was sown en-
tirely too early and when the
fall brood Of moths appeared in
September they found an album
dance Of young thrifty wheat on
which they Deposited their eggs
and where the caterpillars are
= now at work.
J.. This caterpillar viii often mi

= which appears in mid summer,
q 1t destroys all of the leaves but
' is not apt to eat out the bud or

e since this is still quite low in
the ground. For this reason,
past records seem to show that a
field may be completely stripped
at this time and still come out
r and make almost a perfect crop.
l should therefore, not advise re-
sowing unless the buds and roots
are found to be actually dead.
4 Unfortunately, remedies are

/, trolling this pest. When it
shows tendencies to migrate, sur
, round the infested area or field
, with one or more deep bitches q
plowed burrows. The wall
next to the field to be protected
should be as nearly vertical as
possible. Post holes every few
feet in these bitches will help to
collect the caterpillars where
they can be killed. When the
ground is level and fairly firm a
heavy roller will crush myriads
Of the caterpillars and not in
jure the wheat. A heavy drag
can be used to advantage on
fields that have been badly strip
ped by the pest, since it is then
less apt to drag out the grain. A
brush heavily weighted has also
been used to advantage. The
use of a poison is out of the
question where they are generally
distributed over a field though
it will help where they are yet
confirmed to a small area.
"From samples received by
the College Of Agriculture it
would seem that the pest will
soon have completed it's feeding
when it will go into the ground
to make a frail cocoon in which
it purpates and passes the win
ter. In our breeding cages here
they are going into the ground
and in fact many have already
pupated, so it is not likely that

that way came of necessity the

guard of the stalwart, determin-
ed man with a gun on his shout

hind him, began to broaden and
fix the trail into a permanent
highway, a way worthy of inn
mortal perpetuatiOn.
This is a day of returning to
the use of roads, and it is more
than likely that other States
owning the trail in part will mod

tions, and shall Missouri be a

history? If 50 the traveller for

points of interest but of height

that should the Santa Fe Trail be
made the State Highway, that in
terest in Missouri will be height
