WARNING AGAINST

ing the corn crops of the south and
west, the experts of the department of
agriculture today sent out a warning
against the inroads of the southern
root worm and the western corn beetle,
two pests that have kept them awake
at night and which have curtailed the
crop output in those two great produc-
ing sections. The habits of both have
Just been catalogucd, after lengthy
investigation by scientists in the field,
who virtually have slept III the rustling
corn fields.
Rotation of crops is advocated as the
cure for the southern visitant, whose
destructive work is accompanied by
working principally around the roots
Of the young corn. lIe is the more
dangerous of the two, and the female
of his species is even deadlier, for she
uses the hollow stalk Of the growing
corn in which to cradle her young.
The same precaution is advised in
fighting the western pest, which, de-
partment experts say, lis regarded as
one Of the easiest pests TO control un-
der crop rotation methods. Also he
is sociable creature. ''The worm is
about the size of the striped cucum-
Der BEETLE according to the scien-
fists, "has yellowish green color and
black eyes. He is most likely to be
observed feeding on corn during late
August or September, although they
frequently enter farmhouses at night,
being attracted by the lamplight. -
The eradication of both, however, is
urged by the department in the inter
ests Of greater food production.

concerns of the country. was at work at
tempting TO defeat currency legisla tlon

If he believes it necessary the presi-
dent will issue a statement bearing on
the wors of this lobby. just as he called
the attention of the country to the in
sidous lobby which he said attempted
TO defeat Democratic revision OF the
tariff

working through the country banks in
an effort to crystalline opposition to the
pending bill and create an organized de-
mand for a central bank,
Attitude of President.
President pro tenn. Clarke of the SEN
ate, Majority Leader Kern, Democratic
Whip Lewis, Chairman Owen OF the
banking and currency committee, and
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky were
called to the White house to discuss the
situation.
After the conferences It became appar-
ent that measures were to be taken to
get the Democrats of the senate be-
hind the currency bill as party meas
ure. The White house took the atti-
tude that the determine ton of the SEN
ate banking and currency committee to
conclude its hearings ION or before Octo-
Der 25" showed that the Republicans of
the committee, with the aid of two or
three Democrats opposed to the bill,
were controlling the sltua ton and that
the Democratic majority should at once
take steps to demonstrate It's RESPONSE
bility for the legislation.
The senators who conferred with the
president all took the position that as
the Democrats were responsible for the
currency legislation they should take the
matter into their hands II was indi-
pursued was to withdraw the bill from
the consideration OF the full committee,
where it is now tied up, and turn it over
10 the committee Democrats, as was
done in the house. BY this method If
the committee Democrats were unable
TO agree on the bill, 1t could be taken
direct to the Democratic caucus although
senate leaders were doubtful as to the
outcome OF a currency caucus under pres
ent conditions. II would however, be
a choice between submitting the bill to
the full committee OF Republicans and
Democrats or taking ii into caucus
