HOW TO RID ALFALFA
FIELD OF CUT WORM

Ames. June 17.-Some of the alfalfa
fields in southwestern Iowa have been
attacked by a ~variegated cut worm, a
pest which appeared last year also, in
the anne section of the state. The az,
ricultural extension department OF
Iowa state college has sent Its repre-.
.%sentatives into the infested region to
make a study of the situation and to
give help in fighting the worm. Prof
H.. E. Summers, state entomologist
advises the use of sprays, either ARISEN
tie of soda or paris green. Usually
the damage is not discovered until at.
ter the first crop is well advanced and
not much can be done to save that,
ie~xcepting to cut 1t as soon as possible.
Then the entire field should be spray
ed.
To make the a%rsenical spray, dis
solve one pound of commercial arsen-
tie Of soda and a half gallon Of cheap
molasses in so gallons of water. To
make the paris green spray mix q
pound of the poison with two pounds
Of lime and dissolve In $50 to 200 gal
Ions of water, using the larger amount
of water II the spraying machine
throws a coarse spray. About 30 gal
Ions of spray are necessary TIC. an acre.

Washington, d. c., June 17.-Almost
any day now, late some afternoon af-
ter the New York stock exchange has
closed, the long awaited decision Of
the interstate commerce commission
in the matter of the proposed increase
In freight rates, may be expected. The
general opinion seems to be that the
roads will be given at least a portion
of the horizontal raise which they are
asking. But unless the verdict Is \
compromise between. two sets Of opin-
ion within the commission, /. seems to
be pretty likely that the decision will
not have the undivided support of the
commission.
The confidence being expressed that
the increase will be grantsd does not
seem to be entirely justified by a close
examination of the testimony taken
before the commission. Early in ths
hearings the shippers made z. sorry
showing, and it seemed to be a fore
gone conclusion that the railroads
would have little difficulty in making
their case.
But when Clifford Thorne of the
Iowa state railway commission, enter
ed the case in behalf Of the shippers,
there was a mighty change, and before
the hearings Wee over at a Two or
the members of the commission, in
Guiding Chairman Harlan, expressed
doubt whether the railroads finances
are in need Of the millions of addition
al revenue which will be added by any
general increase In rates.

BLAKESbURG man
IS FOUND INJURED
ALEX MILLER DISCOVERED LYING
ALONG SIDE OF ROAD BY
A NEI0hHOR.

B~lakesburg, June 17.-Alex Miller, a
bachelor, aged 80 years and living
about three miles northeast OF here
was found lying along side OF the road
within a quarter of 2 mile Of his home.
Tuesday evening about $3.50 by r. s.
Finks, a neighbor who was returning
home from this place. Miller was
found to be severely injured and 1t Ia
supposed that he was thrown from tho
horse which he was riding home from
Blakesburg, although his condition Is
80 serious today that he Is unable to
tell how the accident happened.
He was hurried to his residence
and when physicians arrived 1t was
found that he had his left leg broken
in three places, several ribs broken
and was very badly bruised about his
head, shoulders and body. Miller lives
with his hired man on a farm and his
parents live Just at the edge OF town;
From the nature of his injuries n
the tracks and marks on the roadway
it is thought that he was thrown from
the animal and catching his foot In the
stirrup was dragged for some distance.

SUNDAY DANCING
AT INTERURBAN PARK

Centerville, June 17.-Whether the
interurban railway park two miles
from town Ia to have public dancing
Sunday afternoons and nights or not
has been a matter of public concern
and agitation for the past week or two.
till public sentiment * expressed itself
that the park management announced
that the Sunday dancing would be
eliminated. 1t will be continued every
other night during the week. The
park has been a popular resort for Sun
day school and church picnics and the
more conservative element were very
much opposed to the introduction Of
Sunday dancing.

EBERHARDT
SEEMS

~ .-.EL-.
st. Paul, Mimi. June 17.--1ncom'
plete returns today from yesterdays
statewide primary election indicate
a close fight for the republican nom
nation for governor with the posi-
bility that Gov. E%berhardt has been
defeated by w. Il. Lee, the so-called
anti-machine candidate.
One of the surprises OF the election
was the large vote polled by D. W,
Lawler in the race for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination in which ne
was opposed by Congressman W. s
Hammond, but Hammond had a fairly
safe lead and was expected to be nom
mated.
Hugh T. Halbert undoubtedly has
received the nomination for governor
on the progressive ticket. He was op.
posed by e. N. Westerlund.

JOHN HARLAN DIES
AT HOME

Stockport, June 17.-This commun-
ity was thrown in deep grief this
morning at TAO o'clock when it's old
est citizen. Uncle John Harlan, aged
80 years, 6 months and a few days,
passed away. His death was
caused from the infirmities of
old age. He had been in
bed for the past two months OF more
He was a patient sufferer and passed
peacefully away. He came to Iowa in
1875, at the age of 60 years, and had
been a resident of this state ever
since, about ~thirty-four years. He had
been married twice and leaves four
grown sons, Samuel and e. T., of this
city; George of Atlanta and Elvin of
the state of Washington.
John Harlan was born In Wayne
county, Ind, January "a, 1921, and was
married the first time in 1912. The
remains will be taken back to Indiana

ent Of eleven children.

Testimony of A. H. Smith, president OF
the New York Central, when the latter
had claimed that the cFadit OF rail
roads is at a low ebh and that N In.
crease is needed to revive that credit.
said rather sharply:
DO you not think that this has
something to do with 1.-THE pFoelam-
alton from the housetops that 'theM II
a crisis here, that things have sone to
the devil, and that the bett0m has
dropped out?"
This may or may not indicate Nc
Chords attitude. Smith admitted
that railroad profits were greater last
year than tver before, but said that in
the last quarter Of 1913 business had
started on a general decline that has
continued. He said that In his railroad
after paying all charges and dividends
there was a surplus of $11, 00O, 900. but
this. he said, was not enough.
Including all phases Of the situa.
which embraces everything and is tho
figure out Of which you pay dividends
and accumulate surplus, do you nCt?"
asked Chairman Harlan.
Yes, sir" replied Smith.
"And for that year." declared Har.
Ian, "the financial results of the enter
prise were better than they have ever
been"
Thus two Of tho leading members Of
the commission expressed opinions
which could not be taken o. friendly
to the contention of the railroads
that they need the money to bolster
their credit.
