METHOD OF FIGHTING
ARMY OR CORN WORM.


OF late there bas been q serious
outbreak Of the southern grass or
army worn In various parts of the
state, especially In south Missis.
sppi, and reports are to the effect
that this insect is making great
ravages on the corn crop In this
county.
This insect should not be con-
fused with the cotton army worm
that was so abundant in the sum
mer and fall of 1911. According
to a circular sent out from the
Mississippi Experiment Station,
"this is one of the well.known in.
sect pests of the southern statos.
1t is liable to occur any time and
is capable Of doing great damage. +"
HISTORY AND APPEARANCE.
''There are, beyond doubt, at
least three and possibly as many
as six generations of these insects
each year in Mississippi. The
eggs are laid in masses upon the
food plants and are seldom no.
ticed. They hatch into WORMS
or larvae and they usually 60 un-
noticed except when very numer-
GUS and, even then. until they are
nearly grown. At that time they
are about an inch and a quarter
long; they vary in color from light
brown to black, but always have
stripes running lengthwise. These
stripes vary in color, but are usu-
ally yellow. A very few hairs
are always present, and small
black spots can always be seen if
the worms are closely examined
When full grown these worms 60
into the ground and transform to
the pupa stage just below the sur,
face of the ground. In about one
week the adult moths appear.
These moths fly at night. They
have dull grayish- brown fore
wings and white hind wings.
METHODS OF CONTROLLING.
''In case of hay crops it will
usually pay to begin using the
moving machines as soon as the
worms are noticed. The moving
will destroy many of the insects,
and, as the hay become dry, it is
not relished by them SO that usu.
ally most of the crop is saved.
\, "In gardens and even with corn
and other field crops, hand pick
ing usually pay. Prof Morgan,
now of the Tennessee Experiment
Station, states. 'As these cater
pillars feed in the cool of the
morning and evening, they may
be found on the outer leaves of the
corn, and with a stick and wide
mouthed vessel great quantities
can be hand picked. To or three
pickings will relieve a field almost
entirely and will be the means of
saving the CROP
{"Arsenate of lead. Paris green,
or other arsenical poisons may bel
used either in the powdered form
or mixed with water. When
Paris green is used in the dry form
it should be mixed with about fifty
parts -four, lime, or road dust.
When mixed with water, one
pound of Paris green may be
mixed with $50 gallons of water
and about two pounds of lime
should always be added to pre-
vent the Paris green from burning
the foliage. Arsenate of lead can
be applied in the same manner,
but two pounds of this substance
should be used instead of one of
Paris green. Care must be taken
not to use the sprayed plants as
food for man or beast until one or
two good rains have washed the
poison off. After that, there is
practically no danger.

Mr.. Bryan's Choice

Mr.. Bryan evidently is not yet con-
WINGED that Governor Harmon is out
of the race for the presidential nom
nation. He continues to devote
much time to the task Of showing up
the governor as an instrument OF
Wall street. leaving the inference, on
the theory that a good general never
wastes ammunition on vanquished
foe, that he still finds some potential
danger In the Harmon hosts. 1t
probably would require as keen an
observer as Mr.. Bryan to distin-
guish 1t.
But Mr.. Bryan has not revealed
himself entirely to his friends. The
most he has told them is that he is
for "a progressive democrat" That,
OF course. includes himself, for be
claims patent right on any kind Of
progressiveism, no matter what party
label 1t bears. And there are several
others who have received his appro-
bation-Clark, Wilson. Gaynor and
Kern. He has even eampaigned for
Wilson and Clark, for Clark in Will
son states and Wilson in Clark states.
Another mere suggestion that Mr..
Bryan would not look with entire dis
favor upon his own nomination.
And II is highly probable that the
Nebraskan's choice will not be re-
yealed until the last moment in the
convention. He knows the futil.ty
better than any can tell OF him OF a
premature announcement and he
probably has satisfied himself thot,
as things now stand. no avowed can
didate has much prospect Of getting
two-thirds of the delegates So Il
becomes the part OF q prudent
prophet OF reform to hold himself In
readiness for the largest service to
his party. that OF falling under the
yoke OF the standard even for the
fourth time when It becomes apparent
that no other man can. without his
approval, land ths said yoke.

Exsmplifying Lincoln's Vision.

Standing on the field OF Gettys-
burg. Abraham Lincoln saw through
the mists OF war and aisunior the day
when the contending armies. or their

again on this battle-ground. but meet
in peace and union to dedicate here
the unfinished work" OF civil war.
The United Confederate Veterans &C
cepting the Grand Army Of the Re-
public's invitation for joint semi
centennial celebration OF Gettysburg
In 1918 10 an eloquent answer TO the
prophetic appeal that these dead
shall not have died In vain"
No one may now doubt that Lin-
coins vision was q real one. that
what be said was other than what he
felt and solemnly believed. So there
must have been concealed beneath
that melancholy face that day the
vivifying consolation that Just back
Of the days dark cloud lay the sun
Of q new era. We have not had TO
walt for this reunion OF former foes
upon Gettysburg's ground. drenched
In their common blood. for the ex-
employing OF this vision. but that
eomins-together under such peaceful
auspices OF the feeble and faltsring
veterans will be an Impressive lesson.
Heavy depletions will have been
made between now and then In both
these lingering lines and for many
this reunion viii just about sound
taps. What n privilege for the men

Of meeting on this pivotal battlefield

lowed memory given II by Lincoln's
few but immortal words! And what

Incipient Insanity.

Special treatment of insanity In
ineipient cases Is to be administered
by q new phychopathic hospital In
Boston, on the theory that. taken In
Its earliest stages. insanity. like
tuberculosis and other forms OF dis
ease. can be cured. Undoubtedly the
theory is sound. What proportion
Of insane persons could be restored
to sanity II properly treated imme-
diafely after arrangement is not
known. but 1t certainly would be
very large.
Ths causes Of insanity are 50 d.
verse as TO make the disease. II
It may be called such. extremely
difficult Of treatment and yet It Is
admitted that science has never been
put to the supreme test In Its effort
to restore q dethroned reason.
Usually. as once was the case with
tuberculosis. insanity was simply sc-
eeptsd as hopeless and the patient
confined In an asylum, not to be re-
stored to nationality, but only 10 be
cared for In q humane way until he
died. That theory the modern prae-
titioner combats. He denies that the
average case Of mental arrangement
is necessarily permanent or incur
able He contends that insanity in
its ineipieney Is no more hopeless
than pulmonary tuberculosis. Why
should 1t be. since many cases Of
insanity at first are simply forms OF
nervous prostrstion, superinduced
BY over-exertion. perhaps. In the
most ordinary pursuits Of business.
which involve cares. anxieties. and I'M
eertaintiss likely to weigh with great
stress upon q nervous temperament.
Insanity Of that sort Is wholly
different from what 10 regarded as
hereditary insanity. To cay nothing
OF the humanitarian aspect Of scien-
tifIe effort to defeat mental aberra-
ticn, success would mean tremendous
Ieeonomic gains. for every individual
