A newspaper man made Q t0-mtls
motor trip In Psttis county the other
night to ascertain the extent OF the
damage done TO crops by the army
worms. The pest does its work al
night. 1t begins Just before sundown
and continues industrlously until sun
rise. In some sections whole fields Of
corn have been eaten down into the
roots, while In adjoining felds not
worm has appeared and the yield gives
promise Of being far above the aver
age in these latter fields.
Hundreds OF acres will have to be
replanted. This can be done as late
as June rs and. with favorable sea
son, a good crop will be gathered. The
worms also have damaged the crop Of
timothy A number Of farmers were
out engaged In cutting and stacking
the hay. The same il also true OF
clover. It has been said the worms
will not molest red clover. but this
has been disproEed In Pettis county.
Miles of pasture have been eaten
here and unless q good rain comes
soon stoclmen will be found rushing
their stock to market. Along the DAD
ways traversed on this trip we're mil

Continuous Cultivation
Wins.

Living in q drained country
does not free one from the nee-
sssity OF conserving surface
moisture. The lack OF water Is
more often . limited factor in
plant growth than we Missouri
ans believe. Every year enough
water falls to give US abundant
harvests. Last year with its
drouth, we had more inches OF
rain than many places have in
an ordinary year. The secret OF
their success is continuous culti-
vation. Corn and other crops
should be cultivated once every
week or at the very outside oncs
every ten days even If no rain
has fallen since the last cultiva'
ton, or il the ground is free from
weeds. The dust mulch does
not need to be deep. Two o.
three inches in clay soil, ant
somewhat deeper in sandy soil
will prevent the escape in mois
ture. II this mulch is not KEEP

moisture continues to escap
