Experiment Station Director
Gives Suggestions About Ex-

DR.. e. D. Ball. director of the expert
ment station at Logan. has issued a
bulletin on the army cut worm, or al
| falfa worm. He describes the actions
| OF the worm and advises some methods
OF extenminating it. The army cut worm
| takes its name from the fact that many
travel together in large number In the
Same direction in search OF food. This
| march ends with the first alfalfa field
encountered. 1t is said certain sections
OF the state have suffered from the worm
and as they hibernate farmers are warned
against them and are told how to keep
them from alfalfa fields. In reference to
the methods TO be used against the worm
DR. Ball says:
when IL once gets into growing crop.
migrating swarm of Them can be
stopped by ditch full Of water, into
which they will fall and pile UP. From
buried. The water does not kill them
and II they. dry out, once. are as good
trench a foot in depth with the side
perpendicular or slightly overhanginG will
serve to stop them and by digging pits
along the trench they will fall into these
and can be buried. On grain fields where
the grain is small large number can be
killed during the warmer part Of the
day by running a roller over them. In
alfalfa fields there is little possibility OF
destroying them until the alfalfa is cut
BY cutting the alfalfa and getting 1t off
those that remain can be destroyed by
dragging with a brush drag which Is
heavily loaded with rocks. This will
crush them into the ground and destroy
most Of them.
1T has almost invariably happened that
where they become so numerous as they
are this year that their parasites In
crease so rapidly that the latter usually
destroy the pest so that scarcely O. sin
gle worm is left to reappear again next
season. In the case Of the Tooele out
break there were none seen after they
went into the ground.
1T is very probable that the parasites
will be able to handle this outbreak. BY
examining the caterpillars little later to
the season we will probably be able to

DEPLORES THE TENDENCY
TOWARD ANGLOPHOBIA

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
1t Is unfortunate that G. c. Tanners
hatred of anything British is so great
as even to render the possibility of In
ternational arbitration with England
obnoxious to him. Possibly an arbitra-
ton treaty with Ireland. If such were
possible, or some other nation. would
from his point OF view be more accept
able. 1t would also appear that COM
bination Of the United States with Ger
many for the humiliation of England
would to some extent appease his vio-
lent Anglophobia. 1t Is so unfortunate
that every act Of England, friendly or
otherwise, toward other nations, Is al
ways construed by certain people to be
reeking with dark and subtle machina-
tions, which is the inference drawn
from the letter. Even the friendly de-
sire for international peace must have
some Interior motive directed against
some friendly nation The special en-
phasis placed upon the word foreigner,
In speaking of which we are virtually
the same race of people as the govern
ing classes OF this country, Is an eX-
preston which is often carried to child
ish absurdity. l consider ii would be a
great triumph for the cause OF human
fly IL the two greatest Christian nauons
upon earth were to use their utmost
endeavors for the glorious cause or
peace. BERNARD BROCklNGTON.

DEATH OF COL. THOMAS w.
HIGGINSON.

A link with the distant and most
stirring period of United States his
tory is broken by the death of Col.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, who
has just passed away at his home in
Cambridge, where he was born eighty
seven years ago. His friends and con-
temporaries were such men as Long
fellow, Whittier, Holmes, and Emer-
son, while his classmates in the prep
aratory school were James Russell
Lowell and w. w. Storey. The
precocity of his mind was shown by
the fact that he was graduated from
Harvard with honors before he was
eighteen years of age, while the YER
satility of his talents was illustrated
by the varied fields of thought which
he made his own in the course of his
long life. He was a conspicuous figure
in the free state movement of the
early fifties, and as its candidate ran
a losing race for Congress. When war
broke out he took up the sword with
the same zeal with which he had
welded the pen.
The very list of his literary works
covers many pages of photography,
He was a facile and vigorous writer
and was held in high esteem.

CONCERNING THE CRIES
OF STREET VENDER

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The average vender has a family to
support He must exercise his vocal
organs to announce his coming with
fruits, vegetables, etc, for our house
keepers. Why must this method be
forbidden. THE day sleepers may not
be disturbed" Is the reply. How is
1t. may I ask. that the continual re-
curing shrieks and groans, and
chugs Of auto and motorcycles and
reckless shouting and jeering of idlers
is permissible at all times. 1t is we'll
to be consistent, is it not? Careful
chauffeurs and drivers do not have
to sound sharp notes of warning that
only distract and confuse pedestrians
The vender's plaintive cry is music
compared with the Internal street
rackets We have to. endure all day
and far into the night.
Where one person inveighs against
the yender's cry. thousand there are
VINO Will sustain 1t. Just think of orr
army OF housekeepers who cannot
spend their precious moments watch
Ing. They will indorse that cry with
out a moments hesitation. 1t has the
ring of enterprise even in weariness
and no laudable enterprise should he
nipped In the bud in these days of
stress and anxiety. MRS. GEORGE.

RECORD OF A HEROIC RIVER.
MANS LIFE.

There are unique characters among
the rivermen as among the seamen.
These freshwater seadogs have
their legends and traditions, their
stories of high courage and narrowing
adventures. One of them has just
passed away at Louisville, and here
in Washington there are records show
ing 5000 lives to the credit of Capt,
Billy" Devan and his crew. This
quaint old character was in charge of
the only inland life-saving station in
the country and for many years he
spun yarns in his little shack on the
Ohio river front for the benefit of the
newspaper men and other congenia1
spirits.
One of them, writing in the Louis
vile Times, recalls Captain Billy's'
dream of paradise in which the typical
Kentucky imagination pictured crys-
tai stream meandering through per-
ennial beds of mint, a frosted glass
and "a finger or SO of Bourbon" And
under the mellowing influence of this
dream partially realized he often
whiled away the winter evenings OF
the long summer days recalling, in
a modest way, the stories of his ad-
venturous career. Six thousand souls
rescued from the raging waters of the
ohio-for the great waterway is full
of menaces and terrors of which the
great deep knows nothing. Six thous'
and tragedies averted and as many
lives prolonged, as chronicled in the
musty Washington archives! How
few of us can boast of any such
service to humanity in any form.
Perhaps if he had died, like some
heroic Jim" Bludso, in one of those
river nightmares of flood and fire, he
would have enjoyed "Jim" Bludso's
fame. He is none the less heroic fol
that he passed away peacefully in bed
at a green old age, and his should be
"one Of the few, the immortal names
Which were not born to die"

GEORGETOWN TO MAKE WAR
ON INSECTS.

Residents of Georgetown, operating
through the Georgetown Citizens As
sociation, have taken up the sugges-
tion of The Times that the various
civic organizations of the District
spend the summer fighting flies and
mosquitoes. The association will ad-
journ over the hot weather, but it has
arranged to leave a committee on the
firing line to give battle against the
insects that spread disease.
Georgetown has set an example that
other communities in Washington
could we'll afford to follow. The health
committee of it's citizens association
is preparing a circular which will be
put in the hands of every householder
1t will tell how to fight flies and mos,
quitoes, by preventing the accumula'
tion of water in low places, in cutters
in tubs, cans or other receptacles, and
by keeping yards and alleys clean. The
circular will appeal to the civic pride
of residents and its distribution will
be followed by public meetings and
by systematic inspection by volunteer
committees.
If every one of the 'thirty-two citi'
zens' associations of the District would
inaugurate and carry through a SINH
lar program this summer Washing
toms death rate, thing of shame to
every inhabitant of the Capital, would
be materially lower.
