and in some instances on alfalfa many of the worms can be des- troyed by the use of rollers or drags. In alfalfa that would be injured by rolling or dragging. ths plants should be cut for hay
 When the worms are forced from the fields bu this means. many can be killed by means of drags or by blowing them under when they make their way to other fields. Immediately after cutting, alfalfa fields should be thoroughly disked. This will kill many of the worms before they can leave and will break up and destroy the cells of those that have gone into the ground for pupation.
 The method of destroying the insects when they are in the quiet stage in the ground to which reference has just been made is of importance next to the use of arsenicals in checking the pests. In fact, in many cases it is by far the most effective means that can be followed.
 Fer fields threatened with in. vasion but not actually attacked, a deep furrow should be plowed out around the entire circumfer. ence of the field; into this the caterpillar will fall, when they may be crushed by dragging a heavy log through the furrow. If the soil is such as to be some what impervious to water, this furrow may be partly filed with water, on the surface of which a small quantity of kerosene may be poured, which will kill the worms almost immediately when they come into contact with it.
 Since the worms seem invaria- bly, to to consume the grass and other vegetation growing in fields before attacking either corn or cotton, it should prove an impor- tont method of protection to spray or dust grass and weeds in corntields threatened with at- tack with arsenate of lead ac- cording to methods d V S e d above.
 Throughout the greater part of the South there is likely to be another destructive brood of the army worm which will come from the transformation of the present generation in the soil. Therefore every effort should be made to break up the pupal cells, so that the next brood will not appear. This can be accomplish ed by the use of blows, cultiva- tors, and harrows. Wherever any crop which can be titled has been injured by the fall army worm it is advised that further | injury be prevented by sthe use If cultivators and harrows. Much good can also be accomp- lished by blowing fields or DOT tions of fields where all of the crop has been destroyed. The treatment of bare places about cultivated fields in this way will be of assistance.
 To summarize the situation, the Department recommends the speedy application of arsenical poisons and the working of the ground wherever practicable, in order to prevent further dam age.

CHINESE QUEUES NOT SOLD.
Those Cut Are Kept 20 he Buried
with Their Owners.

Experts in the human hair trade In
Hongkong say that IL buyers of human
hair in the United States expect a great
oversupply as result OF queue cut
ting in China they are likely TO be
disappointed. Instead OF an oversupply
the changes now going on are cutting
on the chief sources OF supply in China.
and there is likely soon TO be a decided
falling away.
Contrary to the general impression
In the United States and Europe, the
queues when cut are not sold. This 10
an absolute rule, so far as South China
is concerned. says Consular and Trade
Reports. and It Is the custom all over
those portions of China from which the
writer has been able to secure reliable
data on this subject. The queues, when
cut are preserved. according to the
general statement, for burial with the
owner.
The chief supply has come from Chi
nese barber shops where, in the course
OF shaving portions OF the heads OF
customers, considerable long hair is
accidentally removed. Now that the
queues are cut, however. Chinese bar
bers have no more long hair to dispose
OF than BARRIERS In the United States.
A contraction of the supply in Hong
kong already is apparent, and but for
the hesitancy of American and other
foreign BARRIERS to meet the market
, here, the prices for supplies locally
would have gone up. As 1t Is. prices
here are remaining firm in spite of an
indisposition on the part OF foreign
buyers to meet them.
The declared value of exports of hui
man hair from Hongkong to the United
States In 1911 was $292.75S. as COM
pared with $695.137 in 1910, $327.559 in
1909, and $4,000 In 1908. Shipments
from the Hongkong market In 1911 to
all countries were much larger in vol
ume than the year before. aggregatins
1.759.833 pounds In contrast to about
1900, 900 pounds In 1910.
A great proportion OF the shipments,
however. was of low grade hair. used
for various purposes other than false
hair--for example, new haircloth.
mattress filling. and the like. 1t Is
doubtful II the total value of the sea-
sons shipments will exceed $4,000
gold, as compared with an aggregate
of l,500.000 a year ago. There Ii
every indication, however, that prices
will range much higher for 1912.

wife, dead, no doubt, through the brutal

that the duke had been shocked at the

HONEYMOON FASHIONS CHANGE
Several Recent Expeditions Were In
deed Strenuous Ones

The day of the honeymoon, of bill
ing and cooling in quiet country re-
treat, seems to be on the wane and
the era of the strenuous honeymoon
to be ushered in.
Within the last six months, we
have read of one couple who spent
their month of honey" in 1000 mile
cycle ride in France; of another who
scaled a round score of Alpine peaks
in the interval between the altar and
the Homecoming: and of a third who
had the time of their lives" among
the grizzlies and other wild beasts
in the Rocky mountains.
1t is not long since Mr.. Fleischman,
an American millionaire, returned
from an adventurous honeymoon
among Arctic snow wastes and ice
bergs.
"Forty-seven days" he says, eve
spent ramming steadily against the
gathering ice in an effort to land on
the northeast coast of Greenland"
In bridal rig of sheepskin, lined
with leather, Mr. Flelschman and his
bride dispatched 80 reindeer, 100
seals and % polar bears; and when
at last they returned to Cincinnati
it was to declare that their little trip
had been worth every penny of the
$4,000 it had cost.
Even more strenuous was the hon
eymoon of the Comte de Lesdain and
his bride, who left the altar on a per
ilous Journey from Pekin to Calcutta
climbing mountains 10000 feet high
tramping through desolate regions
where for two months they saw nc

swollen rivers as by a miracle, living

OUR MALE POPULATION

Census Bureau Figures Have II That
There are 1886 Men in Vermont.
The government census bureau has
issued statistics for each geographic
division, state and territory of the
United States in regard to the distri-
button of the male population q
years of age and over according to
color, nativity and parentage and, in
case of foreign-born whites, a further
distinction as to citizenship as
shown by the last census returns.
The potential voting strength Of
each state and territory is expressed
by the number of its males Il years
of age or over, excluding the foreign
born who have not been naturaliZed,
but by this is not meant the actual
number of voters Il represents,
rather, the number of males who
from the age standpoint alone are
eligible to vote.
In 1910 the number OF males Of
voting age in the country was 26,-
999,151, as compared with 21,1S4,299
in 1900.
