Cut Worms.

Frequent requests have been re-
ceived relative to injury caused by
worms in alfalfa fields. These worms
are the common cut worms which are
more or less prevalent every year.
The brownish moth lays the eggs
for this generation late in the summer
or early fall on grasses. The young
cut worms hatch and feed upon the
adjacent vegetation. With an abun-
dance of food the small larvae attract
very little attention, burrowing in the
ground during the day. and feeding
winter the larvae, which are about
half grown, burrow into the soil and
hibernate, coming up again the next
spring and feeding upon whatever veg
citation is at hand. Their depreda-
tions continue until the middle or lat
ter part of May, when they become
full grown and burrow into the soil
about two inches, and there transform
to pupae and adult. About The mid
die or latter part of June, the moths
emerge and cause no little annoyance
by entering houses and fluttering
around the lamps at night.
Under ordinary conditions preven-
tion is the best remedy. Flowing in
the late fall or early spring. with fire.
quent disking or narrowing, will be ef-
fective. In areas where the worms are
concentrated, an application of arseni-
cal bait will prove effective. A good
! formula is as follows:

mo GENIUS IN THIS WAR"
tStcphen PhiIIipA, In the I,ondon DoiI, Mai,

At first sight 1t might appear some
what Of an irrelevance that one whose
chief business in life has been to write
poetic plays should put forward any
personal impression on the grim busi-
ness of tho present war But | have
been lifelong student OF military
history. and especially of the strategy
of the long struggle with Napoleon. so
that an IMPRESSION. which put for
ward In all humility. may carry with
it n certain interest. And this is tho
apparent lack in so vast n shock of
numbers Of any towering, individual
genius on either side.
use the word apparent adviscdly.
for the simple reason that tho chief
operations In this war take place be-
hind SO thick veil and calculated OBJ
security OF silence that for all one
knows some really great and maGnif-
cent military feat may have been ac-
complishcd by 'somc one. somewhere"
In any case, no such reflection can be
made on the actual lighting forces of
the English empire. for the obvious
reason that they occupy Il COMPARE
lively insignificant part OF the great
allied line, and their comma ndcrs can
in no sense he given the free hand ana
initiative which arc essential to any
daring military coup. The fact how
ever. remains that after nearly a year
OF inccssant fghting this huge bust
ness seems 10 have settled down into
mighty lockjaw OF mediocrities.
1t Will, of course. be answered that
TINS is warfare entirely under new
conditions: that those conditions arc,
by tho allies at any rate. only be-
ginning to be graspcd. and that there
lore all former standards and COM
parsons with the past are out of place
This Is n war, II Will he said. Of un-

Individual initiative. But this reply
is Oelicd by the whole course of mill

always Will be. the prime business of
military genius, possibly even to ere
ate new battle conditions. but. at any
rate, instantly to recognize and in
stantly adapt himself to those condi-
tons. however novel bv which he Is
faced. II he fails thus 10 recognize
and 10 adapt himself. he is. by that
very confession, no genius at all.
Some Historic Example,
In ancient history the crossing OF thu
Alps by Hannibal may be taken as an
instance Of entirely new and over
whelming obstacles being confronted
and overthrown.
Again in recent warfare the ability
OF Napoleon. SO to maneuver from his
base that he could strike al any mo-
ment at any point which he deemed
vulnerable, created q new tradition In
tactics.

Necessity and Right

n DAY or two ago, discussing the German
invasion OF Belgium and the diplomatic
interchange by which that violation of neu-
traity and pighted faith was preceded. we
endeaVored to show in what manner Germany
constructs her military necessities Invasion
OF Belgium was justified by the assertion that
France was preparing to march across Bel
GUM 10 the Rhine. OF which intention on the
part or France Germany declared She was in
possession OF Uncomfortable evidence"
That "incOntestabe evidence" has never
been published, indeed any evidence
whatever on this point. On the contrary
France had declared to Belgium to England
and TO the world that Belgian neutrality
would not be violated by her-that she was
resolved faithfully TO respect that neutrality.
Nevertheless, and despite all pleading and all
warning. the Kaiser persisted in his purpose
Invasion was necessary" and. therefore II
was right
II is worthy OF note perhaps, that the bar
barities of submarine warfare arc excused by
a plea equally mendacious--the plea that is
that England is starving Germany. Not only
is this not fact. for no one in Germany has
suffered from any lack Of lfe's necessities
but the orders in council, on which the state
ment Is based, followed rather than preceded
