Trading was chiefly of a scalping nature in the early session, although some little liquidation came from both sides. Crop reports from the eastern belt were still unfavorable and checked short selling. At the end of the first half hour prices were 7@S points under yesterdays close.
 Futures opened steady. July 13.3o @13.35; August, 13.3oc bid; septem- Der, 1277c bid; October, 12.5S@12.59c; December, 12.57@125Sc; January, 12.61@1262c; March, 12.69c asked; May, 12.77@12.7Sc.
 At the middle of the morning the market strengthened on complaints of grassy crops in many parts of the western belt and reports of worms in important sections of Arkansas. The forecast predicted more showers for the eastern belt but promised fair weather for Oklahoma and West Tex as, all of which was unfavorable and increased buying orders. Late in the morning the new crops were or 6 points over yesterdays close July at the highest was still 2 points under that level. At noon prices were 2 points under that level.

NEW WORM BADLY
 DAMAGES CROPS
PEST HAS APPEARED ALL OVER THE COUNTY AND DESTROYS YOUNG CORN AND
 COTTON,
Government Agent Suggests Rapid and Shallow Cultivation As the
 Only Remedy.

A new worm, which distinguished itself by attacking everything in the crop line, has made it's appearance in Jefferson county and is giving the planters and farmers great concern. The appearance of the new worm is very general all over the county and reports are coming in from all dis tricts of the damage being done.
 The worms have . mania for young corn and completely destroy it after attacking. Gotten is also suffering much damage, sorghum, peas, peanuts and even grass is destroyed by the pest and unless some remedy is found immediately all crops will be badly damaged.
 J. E. Rogers, in charge of govern ment demonstration work in Jeffer- son county is at loss for method
 Up until the time this new worm appeared, a week ago yesterday all crops have been in fairly good condi- tion, and cotton was fruiting as fine as I ever saw. The pest attacks the squares, the bloom and the boil, and also he goes into the stalk, tops and cuts the small limbs and appears to want to get into the peth.
 'In the young corn all the blades are eaten off and the stalk is prac- tically destroyed. The older corn is attacked at the root the worm eating off the brace roots and bores in the stalk near the ground which causes a good many stalks to fall down. The corn and especially the young corn is being damaged most.
 Several remedies have been tried and proved unavailing. Paris green seems to have no effect on the worm by reason of their rapid breeding. l know of one instance where Paris green was used immediately after the appearance of the pest it had no eff feet whatever as the corn was destroy ed where the poison was used the same as where it was not.
 "The only remedy I can suggest is fast and shallow cultivation

Immediately the change appeared,

The result gives us the hope
that the thoughtful voters of the
nation may now at last unite to
give the country freedom and en-
terprise and a government re-
leased from selfish and arrogant
influences devoted to justice
and progress.
There is absolutely nothing
for the honest and e~nlighten-
ed business man of the country
to fear. Nc man whose bust
ness is conducted without VIC
lation Of the rights of free com
petition and without such pri-
vate understandings or secret
alliances as violate the principle
of our laws and the policy of all
wholesome commerce and enter
prise, need fear either interfer-
ence or embarrassment from the
administration.
Our hope and purpose is to
bring all the free forces of the
Nation into active and intelligent
cooperation and to give to our
prosperity a freshness and spirit
and "a confidence such as it has
not had in our time.
