SPLITWoRM PREVENTION
Department of Agriculture Gives ad-
vice as to Tobacco Pest.

Lexington, Ky-Adyance excerpts
of an agricultural bulletin on How
To Prevent the Tobacco Splitworm"
have been received here. Transplant
the tobacco crop as early as possible
in order to mature it before the ap-
pearance of the most destructive gen.
Grafton of the tobacco splitwor1n. The
bulletin advises, when the early infec-
tation is very severe, it is recommend
ed that the infected leaves be PINNED
off and destroyed; also, destroy all
tobacco stubble as soon as the crop
is harvested, to prevent the breeding
of a alternating generation; clean up
and destroy all trash in and around
fields and tobacco barns; do not fol-
low potatoes by tobacco if the infecta-
ton of tobacco has been more severe
in such cases than where different ro-
tation was followed; grow potatoes as
far as possible from tobacco fields.
In Cuba and the United States the
splitworm is known on tobacco as a
leaf-miner only. Only -the older tobac-
CO leaves are affected. unless the in
festation is very severe, and in these,
the lower leaves, grayish, irregular
blotches are produced. which later
turn brown and become fragile, so that
the tobacco is unfit for wrappers.

(By Ernest w. Heinz

Frankfort, Ky.-There seems to be
no doubt that the legislature will at
once begin considering bill to amend
or repeal the indeterminate sentence
law. One bill to repeal the law is now
pending, but new bill will be intro
duced. The prison population at the
Frankfort Reformatory is 1,496, of
whom 1850 are under contract in the
prison shops. Two hundred are eligi-
BILE to parole and it is probable that
400 more will be eligible in the next
six months. Under the decision of
the court of appeals requiring paroles
at the end of the minimum sentence
of all prisoners who have conformed
to the rules of the reformatory. list
of convicts at Frankfort and Eddyville
eligible to parole has been made up
by the prison commissioners, though
the mandate in the test case of De
Moss will not be issued for thirty
days.
All the prisoners at the Reformatory
have been anxiously awaiting this de
cision and expectancy could scarcely
be suppressed when news penetrated
the prison shops.

Interest was injected into the argu-

bill of Representative Duffy prelim-
mary to final action upon it, Harry
Meyers, of Covington, asserting that
he was approached by the representa-
tive of a Chicago book concern and
asked what it would take to remove
his opposition to the measure. The
author of the bill stated that following
his election as a member of the gen
eral assembly, he was visited in Hop
kinsville by the chief lobbyist" of a
book company, who offered $3.50 if he
would aid in an effort to see that the
concern received a square deal" dur
ing the present session of the legisla-
ture. In a speech Mr.. Duffy charged
that a book company, referred to him
as ''the school book trust" had done
everything in its power to bring about
the defeat of his measure. Debate on

Cumbre, Chihuahua-Cha bones
and several metal~buttons and buckles
from clothing were the only traces dis
covered of the bodies OF the 80 or
more passengers and crew of the train
wrecked in the Cumbre tunnel of the
Mexico & Northwestern railway. At
least Is Americans persisted.
A rescue party, equipped with oxy-

the effects of the smoke and fumes OF
the stil[smoldering wreckage, made
their way from the south portal of the
tunnel over the wreckage of the burn
ed freight train to the locomotive and
forward cars of the passenger train.
Nothing remained of the cars but the
metal frames and trucks, and it is be-
lieved that the bodies OF the impris-
oned American and Mexican passen-
gers must have been destroyed by the
intense heat.
The wreckage is buried under from
five to ten feet of earth and rock from
the caved-in walls and roof of the tun7
mel. 1t is possible that this covering
Of earth may have protected some of
the bodies, but little hope is enter
tanned for the recovery of any of them
in view of the evidence of the intense
heat developed by the fire famed by
the draft through the narrow bore.
