L b. Eubanks, of this city, wrote

mology and received the following
reply:
Dear Sir-I have your letter and
the express package containing a
jar OF caterpillars. This is the
same caterpillar which we have
been receiving numerous inquiries
about within the last week Or two.
II Is the so-called Fall army worm
This particular caterpillar is close
~ related to the true army worm
and to the various species OF cut
worms. II Is seldom that this par
ticular caterpillar does much in
a...., 81 f..lI nrana ItLa the trttN
army worm it Is usually controlled
by various insect enemies and dis
eases, but when II has a chance to
increase rapidly II does great
deal OF injury to crops before Il
can be checked.
The life cycle OF this caterpillar
Is very similar to that OF the true
army worm, there being three com
plete generations each year, one I'm
early spring n In July and the
third usually about the middle OF
September. They breed normally In
sod though they are also very fono
OF wheat, rye, millet and other field
crops. II n notices them In time
while they are yet confined to a
portion OF the field, he can easily
check them by the use 80 Sitcnes
which a be plowed around the
infested patch and as soon as the
caterpillars begin to migrate they
will fall into the bitches where
they can be easily destroyed, but
where they have spread over an
entire field there Is little chance
OF checking them In that field. II
they seem to be migrating ditches
will prevent them from getting In
to other adjoining fields. From the
samples which you sent I would
infer that the colony Is almost
mature. Most OF the caterpillars
seem to be full grown though I
found a few small fellows among
them. In the particular case which
you mention ! would advise you
by all means, to thoroughly cub
tivate this field within the course
OF the next three weeks; or at
least before frost, since the cater
pillar completes It's growth and
goes In the ground and transforms

TUBERCULOSIS DAY-APRIL 30.
Churches Asked to Observe the Day
100 Kentucky Ministers to be
Enlisted.

April Both, has been set aside this
year as Tuberculosis Day. and will
be observed by 100000 churches IN
the country in a manner similar 10
that of tuberculosis Sunday" in
1910, when over 10000 sermons were
preached on the prevention of con
sumption. The Kentucky Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis states that ii will make
a special effort to enlist every one
Of over 1900 ministers in Kentucky
to give their cooperation in bring
ing this vitality important subject be-
fore the members of their respective
churches. 1t is estimated that in this
way over 100000 persons in Ken
lucky will be enlisted in this move
ment.
In one respect tuberculosis Day"
of this year will differ from 'Tuber-
culosis Sunday" of 1910. Instead of
requesting the churches to give TO
the tuberculosis cause a special Sun
day service, the State Association is
this year going to ask that meetings
at which tuberculosis and its pre-
vention be discussed. be held on
Sunday. April 30th, or on any day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
The object is to get as many peo-
pie in Kentucky as possible to think
about this great problem at the
same time.
II is conservatively estimated that
there are In Kentucky today at least
q, 900 persons suffering from this
disease In some form or other.
The State Association is planning
/ to distribute educational leaflets in
connection with this day and IL Is
earnestly desired that the public will
take an active part in stamping out
this preventable disease which sends
over $500 OF our citizens TO an early
grave every year and causes an
economic loss to our state Of over
! $l3, 000, 900 annually.

THE SKOVGAARD CONCERT
How the Combination worked-Every
Number the Best Of its kind-Small
Contingent Of the Audience not
With Their Kind.

The combination worked, worked
to perfection-the fifty thousand dol
lar hand and the thirteen thousand
dollar violin. One hardly expects any
advertised program to be as good as
promised for the reason that he has
SO often been disappointed. II, how
ever, he chances to find one better
than advertised the pleasure and en-
joyment that he gets from 1t seem
to be enhanced, and it may be truth
fully said Of the program Saturday
night that 1t was as good as promis-
cd, even better and much bet
ter than anybody expected. Not only
did the combination of the hand and
the Stradivarius work, but the
entire combination worked. By that
is meant that there was no weak num-
Der on the program. Mr.. Skovgaard
is what he processes to be, musical
artist. and, more than that, he is
a master of his art. His first two
numbers which were the first num-
hers ON the program were announc-
cd as classical and his audience was
asked to attempt to appreciate them,
at least to respect them because they
were classical, and they we're appre-
ciated by a goodly number of tho
audience, at least. In his other num-
bers, which were hardly less classical,
he touched the common cord and
found his audience almost as sympa-
thetic to his touches as the strings
of his instrument.
Any appreciation of the program
would be imperfect without giving
much credit to the accompapist, Miss
Alice McClung. Indeed her place,
while not as important as that of the
violinist, was filled comparatively Wit
as much skill, and a number Of
persons have been heard TO say that
she was the most sympathetic and
most nearly perfect accompanist they
had ever heard. Her rendition OF
LISTS Polonaise No. was enthusias
tically received.
Miss Warner, the vocalist, was hot
with the party owing to sickness. but
her place was filled by Miss lizards
II is doubtful whether Berea eyel
heard deeper, richer and sweeter sing
ing than Miss lizards contributed Il
the program. She was free from the
usual affectation and one would thin
that hers was the music OF th'
heart and the soul.
But something else ought to o.
said, not of the program, but OF thu
audience. An audience is a part o
the concert. 1t has an importan
part to play. and why shouldn't :
lie taken into consideration in an!
appreciation or adverse criticism o
