The Pioneer Express publishes else
where paragraph from the Lancaster,
Minn., Herald relating to a prairie fire
which destroyed several stacks of hay.
Last week we made trip on the pra,rle
west of Macarthur and Jollette and
the amount ofhay in stacks exceeds any
thing we ever saw there before. But
strange to say not over ten per cent of
the stacks are protected by fire breakes.
1t is safe to say there are ten thousand
tons of good hay, that took weeks of
hard labor to put up, which is exposed
to the first fire that comes along, and
soon the frost will prevent the plowing
of fire breakes. Take warning.

CORN WEEV|L PEST
 IN SOUTH ALABAMA
Entomologist Investigates Conditions and Makes
 Recommendations

Auburn, April 2-(Special.) )-An investi- gation of the extent of injury by the rice, of 'black" weevil in corn, by the chronological force of the Alabama Poly technic institute, has revealed the fact that the pest is more prevalent by many times in South Alabama than in North Alabama. distinct line of division, ac- cording to w. F. Turner, assistant in en- tomology, separates the two sections in degree of infestation. The line runs, ap- proxmately, through Tuscaloosa, or a little to the north of Tuscaloosa.
 MT. Turner has just returned from a undertook for the purpose of Investigating corn weevil conditions. similar trip through South Alabama was taken about six weeks ago.
 In the course of the trips, although they were conducted almost altogether for pur- poses of investigation, MT. Turner en- deavored to instruct the farmers as to the points which have been found the most effective in the fight on the corn weevil
 "The most effective of these is late planting" said Mir. Turner. Late plant ing means maturity and this shortens the period in the fall during which the weevils may multiply and damage the stored grain. Weevils begin their at tack on the corn while it is in the field, and as soon as the grain begins to harden. They are carried to the cribs or store houses with the corn and there continue to breed until cold weather comes on. Then their activity may be entirely checked for some months if the tempera ture runs below a certain point. But in spring time those that live through the winter begin feeding and laying eggs for another generation. Checking the breed ing of weevis in the fall therefore, means a great and permanent reduction in weevl in jury to a corn crop before it is all disposed of or during storage"
 Beyond this, little has been definitely determined in the war on the weevil, ex- oept that bottom corn Is less vulnerable to the attacks of the pest than is upland corn, and that corn of higher attitudes IS less vulnerable than corn of more south ern sections, partly because of shorter seasons and colder weather.
 Mr. Turner gives 1t as his opinion that farmers in the southernmost section Of the state have lost about 15 per cent of their corn because of the weevil al though, he said, they have protested to him that the loss is not more than or 6 per cent In North Alabama. he says, the loss is about 1 or per cent at the pres ent time.
 pr. w. E. Hinds, head of the depart ment of entomology, is endeavoring 10 enlist the interest and cooperation of the farmers of the state in the war on the corn weevil He is sending out thou sands of letters giving information and enisting the interest of planters in the control of the insect pests of cron.

 The judge disallowed a map drawn by B. G. Mcclellan showing the lay of the ground at the scene of the tragedy, but another diagram furnished by the wit ness, was allowed. This was introduced by the defense, together with bullet riddled block to show that the Kennedys had been active participants in the shooting.
 The father of Leon Dyer, the star wit ress in the Pearce- Kennedy feud case Eere, says that he has attended school but one hour in his life, and he will not allow any of his children to go to school, for what he can't teach them, he says, he does not want them to know.
