one or two or three deep burrows

collect in the furrow and can be killed
with kerosene. If post-holes. eight or
ten inches deep, are made at intervals
in these burrows, they form traps into
which the worms fall.

A BAD ARMY WORM.
BY r. L. Washburn, Division
of Entomology, Minnesota
University Farm.

J. !. !. !. 4 I" + !. + !. i :.
This old,time Minnesota pest has ap..
peared in destructive numbers this
season, and has destroyed all prospect
of seed from at least four-fifths of the
timothy crop in Central and Southern
Minnesota besides greatly reducing
the value of the timothy as hay crop.
The army worm is a cut worm, oc.
curing in enormous numbers in a
given locality and generally ION the
march, from one field to another, eth:
or impelled by hunger or the attacks
of parasites or both. Though suffering
from many parasitic insects (perhaps
so per cent are parasitized) and from
the attacks of such nocturnal providers
as shrews, skunks, etc., man has to take
prompt measures against them when
they appear as abundantly as they
have this season.
The larvae, or caterpillars, or
worms" are, when full grown, about
one and one-fourth inches long and
vary in color from green to very
dark brown or even blackish, but al.
most Invariably showing character
istic stripes on back and sides. This
description applies to Heliophila al
bilinea, Hub, the species in question
In every case of infectation, as far
as we have been able to ascertain.
these caterpillars have come from old
timothy fields that have been allowed
to run a number of years, four or
more, without being plowed.
If farmers would plow up their timo
thy fields at least once in three years.
it would be of material help in pre-.
venting their outbreaks. The attack
last year is another argument for fall
blowing and proper rotation of crops.
When full grown, they go into the
ground one to two inches below the
surface, and turn into mahogany col.
ored pupae, from which the yellowish
brown moths emerge later. The fe:
male moth lays eggs on the leaves OF
grasses and grains. which eggs hatch
into the aforementioned worms.
Many letters, complaining of this
pest, have reached us from st. James.

SAVING tho Union.

Until we had a national game It was
silly, according to Ellis Parker Butler
in Success Magazine, to speak of the
loose group of states as nation. The
people had too much time in which to
talk politics, and whenever they talked
politics they became angered, and
whenever they were angered they
wanted to secede or knock spots off
each other. There was no one great
unifying spirit. There was too much
