AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
The Army Worm

1t is not generally known that
there are two army worms in Ken
lucky, looking somewhat alike in
the caterpillar or worm stage and
doing similar mischief, the one dur.
ing the Spring, the other during the
fall months.
In we'll grown examples of the
Fall Army worm the head is largely
black, with a sharply defined white
inverted Y-shaped mark on the
front. Young examples of this
worm are more like those of the
common army worm, the sides, of
the head being netted, but the IN.
verified white Y is evident and to-
gether with the broadness and
sharpness of black stripe along
the lower part Of each side will
serve for their recognition, A fea.
ture of the habits of the tall army
worm is also characteristic. Unlike
the common army worm it does
not travel persistenly in some one
direction, but spreads outward in
all directions from the spot on
which the eggs are placed. The
adult moth placing these eggs meas

Taft Helped the
Little Business

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Iust
why the business man and wage
Garner should vote to support the
Taft administration will be shown
by the President in a statement he
has written for the October issue ot
American Industries. Mr.. Taft
says in part:
81 have every confidence that ]
will receive the support Of the great
army of business men in this COUNTY
and of that large portion of labor
which is employed by these compar-
atively smaller concerns and indus
tries.
"My policy has been perfectly
consistent and undertaking. have
maint aimed, and the Supreme Court
has upheld my contention, that
combinations effected with the pur-
pose of acquiring a monopoly were
illegal. And when the Department
of Justice has acquired evidence of
such an intent | have instructed il
to bring suit and if the evidence
warranted to institute criminal
proceedings.
"The aggregate capital OF the
comparatively smaller business men
producers and manufactures will
far exceed that of the so-called
trusts. or those who may be tempt
ed to form trusts, and the employ
ees of the former will far exceed
those of the latter. And these
smaller business men and their en-
ployees represent the bone and sim
ew of the industry of the United
States To them | look for support
in the coming election, because |
have served them faithfully and
have safe. guarded their interests
against those who, actuated solely
by seIhshness, would have injured
them"
