Terminal Work at Davenport.

1.-The city of Davenport with popu-
lation of $4,000, lying opposite Moline
and Rock Island. Ill, and about mid
way between Minneapolis and St. Louis,
which is under special charter, in 1910
secured the enactment of law by the
state legislature. authorizing the ere
alton of a Ievee commission and the is
suance of terminal bonds. Before plans
were drawn or work was begun the
senior member of the commission. W.
d. Petersen, made a trip through E.u-
rope inspecting the terminal basins,
warehouses, docks and handling facili-
ties on the inland waterways of Ger
many and France. Work on the Daven-
portterminal has been in progress since
1911. Up to the present date nearly
one mile of sea wall has been built and
more than twenty acres of land re-
claimed This work has cost S150,000
1t is estimated the entire Improvement
will cost about $4,000. which will in
clude the building of three miles of
sea wall and the reclamation of 141
acres of land. This reclaimed land
will be worth, conservatively estimat-
ed. not less than $3,000.000.
The first section of theh indus
trial terminal has been completed.
This contains thirteen units of 10000
square feet each, which will be leased
for twenty year periods at rentals
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 per year The
second section of the industrial termi-

The army worm is a native insect
found in greater or less abundance
every year. When conditions are
especially favorable it increases rap
idly. 1t usually breeds in pastures,
meadows, bottom waste land or in
rye and wheat fields. When dry
weather cuts short its food supply, it
is obliged to migrate in search of
fresh food and will destroy any culti-
waited crop which comes in its way
The army worm, at this time, is about
half grown and will measure from
one-half inch to little over an inch
in length. 1t is marked with light
and dark stripes running lengthwise
of It's body.
In the control of the army worm,
prevention is most effective. If crops
are rotated so as not to permit sod to
continue in a field too long or so as to
break up waste lands regularly, the
breeding Of the pest can be largely
prevented. At this time, however,
remedies and not preventive measures
are necessary.
The Missouri College of Agriculture
recommends two methods of check
ing the army worm. The one consists
of the use of roller, weighted brush
or drag run over the infected portions
of fields so as to crush or grind up as
many of the caterpillars as possible
This method can be used only in q
relatively few cases on account of in
juring growing crops. The second
remedy is ditch used as trap into
which the migrating worms fall whert
they can be killed with coal-oil or BY
burning straw or similar material il
the ditch. The ditch should be from
eight to ten inches deep and can bt
made by first blowing deep furrov
and then using a shovel to square W
the side next to the crop to be pro
tected. The army worm is clumsy
caterpillar and has trouble in climb
ing up straight wall. Hogs ant
poultry help to reduce the army
Spraying with Paris green or othe
poison is effective where it can b,
used. The pest usually migrates TO
from ten days to two weeks. 1t feed
rapidly SO remedies should be apple,
at once.
: Missouri farmers will do their com
munities favor by reporting all out
! breaks of the army worm to tn
