KILLING WHITE GRUBS
More Than $12,o00,O00 anna
Done to Crops by Insects.
This Years Brood Due to Be Very De-
structive In Three Years to Corn
and In Two Years to Tim
othy and Small Grains.

White grubs, wherever not con
trolled by cultural and rotation meth
DDS. have caused millions Of dollars
loss this year to corn growers in
northeastern Iowa, southern Wiscon-
sin, and northern Illinois, parts of
Minnesota, the southern part of Michi-
gan, and northern Ohio; also in north
eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern
New York, parts of Connecticut and
New Jersey. A recent survey Of the
infested areas in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illi-
nois and Michigan, by government
received from the other infested
states, estimates the damage to be
more than $1,000 900.
This particular species of the white
grub which is SO destructive in this
section has a three-year life cycle and,
unless controlled, will do some dam
age in two years and will again be
highly destructive to corn, timothy,
potatoes and strawberries in this re-
gion in three years.
i view vi CACoC IA
ogists especially urge farmers in that
region to begin to apply these meas
ures this fall. The measures are Of
three kinds:
(1) Killing the grubs Matched in
the ground by blowing and disking in
the fall.
GU Destroying the May beetles
while in flight.
90 Rotations Of crops which will
prevent the planting Of corn in the
third year after a crop of timothy,
small grain, or on ~weed-covered land.
This rotation is recommended be-
cause the May beetles in two years
will lay their eggs in such land, and
the resulting white grubs unless con-
trolled will be particularly destructive
to corn or the other crops, the roots
of which they will attack during the
following summer.
Fall blowing next summer and fall
(1916) will be especially effective in
destroying grubs of the 1914 or de
%structive flight and should be univer
sally practiced in the g~rub-infested
districts.
Try to get chickens to follow plow
harrow and cultivator to reduce grubs
and other obnoxious insects. Fifteen

Talks OF Support of Potential Sol.
dlcrS.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 14.-The
United States has plenty of material
for volunteer army of 1,25O,00 and
all that is needed is a plan for uti-
lizing it, Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
said T. re today in statement on the
nations preparedness for war. The
chief need, he declared, was officers
He advocated training college students
In their junior and senior years along
the same lines as now are being used
at the military camp Of instruction
here.
Gen. Wood said the country has
three sources from which to draw Of
icers from private life. First of these
he asserted, were men who had been
in the regular service or militia. Sec
ond, he would obtain officers from a
list of men kept by the war depart
ment who have qualified by examina-
tions. The third source would be
from schools or institutions in which
some military training is given.
For an army of 100000, Gen.
Wood said, the nation would need
10000 officers. From these, 1900
should be chosen each year for Spec
ial grades of the service. These men
eventually would have become the
officers for volunteers.
Referring to military service Gen.
Wood said:
NO one has right to consider his
discharge Of duty as a soldier as VOL
untary. This duty is an obligation
binding upon all who mentally and
physically are fit, and within certain
age limits. A man has no more right
to speak Of volunteering to discharge
his duties to the nation as a soldier
than he has to talk Of volunteerinc
to obey any moral law or pay his
just debts"
Gen. Wood also took a strong stand
against waiting until time Of war to
organize a volunteer army. He as
serted such a plan would be about as
effective as waiting until a fire broke
out to organize volunteer fire COM
pany, Soldiers enlisted at such times
he said, would not know what was
expected of them.
