~HE week has worked a wondrous

~HE week has worked a wondrous
change in the summer resorts.
The great army of pleasure
seekers have come down from
the mountains and gone to the seashore,
where there will be gayeties yet for an
other week at least. Many have gone
from the Northern resorts to the noun
tains of Virginia and North Carolina for
the remainder of this month, which is
so glorious in the mountains.
The Presidents vacation time was short
indeed this year, and is almost at an
end. 1t is Mrs. Taft's purpose to re-
main at the Beverly cottage through the
month of October and return to the
White House about the time the Presi-
dent comes back from his Western trip.
No definite announcement has come from
the summer White House as to the plans
OF Miss Taft for the winter, but II is be-
neved she will not be a part of the Wash
ington gayeties except at vacation times.
She is Eenouncing much for the sake Of
her books, but this is only one of the
sturdy traits of the Presidents daughter.
1t was not her choice to remain away
from school last year, but her father
needed her in the absence of her mother
from the social affairs, on account Of the
latter's health. And being at the White
House for the season, 1t was impossible
not to take an active part in the pleasures
of the young people. So she had her
debutante season, unrivaled in brillance
except for that of Miss Alice Roosevelt,
now Mrs Nicholas Longworth. Miss Taft
has always carried Off the honors of her
classes and it is expected she will make
a brilliant record at Bryn Mawr when
she graduates. Her vacations. of course.
will be spent at the White House, and
then the gayeties will make almost a con-
tinuous round.
1t is expected that Mrs Taft's nieces,
the Misses Anderson, and her sisters, Mrs.
Anderson, Mrs More, and Mrs. Laughlin,
will take turns about in staying at the
White House during the winter so as
not to leave the first lady of the land
without one Of her woman relatives. al
though her health is so much improved
that it is not a necessity for her TO have
any one with her.
The President and Mrs. Taft, FEho are
spending much time motoring about the
North Shore made an interesting trip TO
Nahant on Friday to call upon the for
mer Vice President and Mrs. Levi P.
Morton, who are with their son-in-law

Half a township of fine crops near
Westhope was wiped out by hail last
week. Much Of the wheat, good for
Is or 20 bushels, was ready for the
binder. Not half the farmers carried
hail insurance.
Black rust is doing considerable
damage to the wheat in this part OF
the state. While much Of the wheat
IS filing nicely, the rust is going to
cut down the yield and the grade con-
siderable. This Is bound to effect the
price Of wheat, which already has
been forced up a few notches.
The farmers are now hoping for
sunshiny weather. They say that
plenty of rain has fallen for the pres

were worrying somewhat for fear that
what wheat and oats are in shock
would be damaged. ,:jr4.~.

WORMS RUIN ANDERsoN'S CORN
FIELD.

John Anderson from north of the
city, has 2O-acre field of corn which
has been practically ruined by worms.
He does not expect to get more than
four or five tons of feed from the
whole field. This is not more than
one-tenth Of what he should get. The
worms are shiny yellow, evidently the
same kind that are boring into the
potatoes. He believes they are what
are termed wire worms. They start
ed to- eat the kernel two days after
IT was planted and in some cases the
growth was not entirely stopped, but
a very weak plant was the result,
many finally dying. He has counted
as MANY as eight 81 81 ten worms around
each plant ana n pulling up the
plants, he HAS found the worms crawl
ing out from under the roots. TT.
