EXPERT ISSUES WARNING TO
FARMERS OF PESTS GREAT
EST ACTIVITY.
FINDS TWO TO SQUARE FOOT
Immense Damage is Feared to Crops
mo Means Of determination
Is known-Feeds on
Any Root.

Madison.-Farmers Of Wisconsin
are being warned against white grubs
and the damage they cause by their
sharp jaws and omnivorous appetites
This warning is being sent out by
Prof. j. G. Sanders of the department
of economic entomology and chief
nursery inspector of the University
of Wisconsin. Prof. Sanders has
just returned from Grant county,
where he says he found an average
of two of these grubs to the square
foot.
When it is considered that when
corn is planted in hills, say three feet
apart, and in rows an equal distance,
giving each hill of corn nine square
feet" he said, st will be seen this
means eighteen of these grubs to the
hill. How long that hill will last
after the. grubs start work is only
matter of the size of the hill It's
ultimate destruction is unavoidable.
j wish to warn the farmers of the
state against using land devoted to
sod crops last year for hill crops this
year. This is the year of greatest ac-
tivity of the three year grub, and if
corn. tobacco, potatoes and other hill
crops are planted on ground where
the June bug laid its eggs last year
they will be utterly destroyed.
Almost every kind of root is fit
food for these grubs. They have
even been known to attack the roots
of fruit trees when other food was
denied them"
Prof. Sanders then explained the
life history Of the grub. He says
the eggs were laid early last spring
and the larvae did comparatively lit
tie damage. Burrowing deep into the
ground, they withstood the winter
weather and this spring came up to
the surface to feed on tender roots.

TEUTONS TAKE TARNOW
pUKLA PASS is ALSO CAPTURED,
VIENNA CLAIMS.
German Offensive Is Maintained From
the Baltic to Roumanla and In
France and Belgium.

London, May S.-The Germans, in
consort with their Austrian allies, are
putting forth an effort the extent of
which has never been approached in
the history of war.
Throughout virtually the whole
length of the eastern front they are
engaged with the Russians, while in
|. the West, in addition to their attacks
around Ypres, they are on the offensive
at many points. At other points they
are being attacked by the French,
British and Belgians.
Far up in the Russian Baltic prov
inces, heretofore untouched by the
war, the Germans are attempting to
advance toward Libau and Riga; on
the East Prussian frontier they are
engaged in a series of battles, and
with big gun are bombarding at hong
range, as they did at Dunkirk. the
Russian fortress of Grodno; in Cen
trail Poland they have had to defend
themselves against a Russian attack;
in western Gaiicia they are attempting
with all their strength to smash the
Russian flank and compel the Rus
SLAMS to abandon the Carpathian
passes, which they gained at such
cost during the winter
In this western Galicia battle the
Germans claim to have made still
greater advance and to have crossed
the Wisloka river, which is well to the
east Of the Dunajec river, which UNI
til a few days ago formed part of the
Russian front, and to have put their
hands firmly on Dukla pass. The Aus
TRANS announce the capture of Tar
now.
In conjunction with this attack from
the west the Austrians are attempting
to drive the Russians from Lupkow
pass, farther to the east, and with sue
cess, according to the German account.
In ALL the Germans claim to have TAX
en- 10000 Russian prisoners since the
offensive was undertaken last Satur-
day night. The Austrians put the
number at more than $4,000 and ex-
press the belief that the whole Rus
sian Third army will be de-
stroyed.
These reports show that the Austro-
German blow is meeting with the
greatest success on the northern
slopes of the western Carpathians, for
toward the Upper Vistula the Russians
appear to be in their old posi-
tions.
Despite the claims of the Austrians
and Germans, the Russian representa-
tives in the European capitals reiter-
ate that the victory has been greatly
exaggerated, and the public is waiting
to hear what Grand Duke Nicholas,
commander in chief of the Russian
forces, has to say about it.

LITTLE INCREASE IN BOARD
chadbourn Hall at U. of w. Crowded
Seven Years Ago Dormitory
Life Was Frowned Upon.

Madison.-Seven years ago board
could be secured in the Chadbourne
hall dining room, University of Wis
consin, for 1878 week. Room rent
was also cheaper than at present. To-
day it costs $3.50 week for meals in
the dormitory dining room. Rooms can
be secured at an average of $3.50.
But seven years ago Chadbourne
hall was in disfavor.
The hall was never filled. Today.
accommodations are in demand. Even
with the addition of the new dormi-
tory, Barnard hall, the demand can not
be satisfied. Wisconsin women are al
ways given the preference and practi-
cally fill the halls.

The Hambrecht bill providing for
the compulsory use of the Dunn cou-
pom ballot at all general and primary
elections was referred to the calen-
dar on motion to reconsider.
Income Tax Change Saved.
The bill from the excise and fees
committee, which prohibits persons
on the black list from entering sa-
looms, was ordered engrossed. The
Grell bill, which raises exemptions
of single person subject to income
tax to $1,000 and of man and wife
to $1,000 was saved from indefinite
postponement by means of substitute
amendments.
Bills concurred in by the assembly
included the Barwig bill to vacate
cemeteries in Waupun, the Mulber-
ger bill, relating to fish and game;
the bill relating to the discharge of
persons accused of misdemeanor who
had satisfied the plaintiffs; the Stew
ems bill, for closed season for pick
erel in Forest county; and several
bills which had come in from the SEN
ate committee on judiciary.
Senator Bennett of Viroqua intro
duced a bill in the senate amending
the state highway aid law to provide
for construction of highways under
the county unit instead of the state
unit system and providing that the
state shall pay one-third of the cost
of such highway Improvements IL
they are approved by the state con-
sulting engineer. State aid for any
one year is limited to 100000. The
bill appropriates $4,000 annually,
to pay the state expenses of admins
tering the law and the salary of the
state consulting engineer, who is to
receive $4,000 a year. The county
commissioners, who are to be paid
by the several counties, are each to
receive.a salary of 81 900 a year The
bill in the main follows the Michigan
state highway aid law.
Jitney Legislation at Madison.
The jitney has invaded the legisla-
ture. 1t came in a mysterious man
ner. A bill was introduced from the
senate committee on judiciary which
claimed to be measure regulating
the granting of franchises by cities
and villages. 1t provided that no
franchise to use streets should be
granted by any city or village until
the franchise had been submitted to
the railroad commission. A permit
is held to be the same as a franchise.
1t was some time before members
of the railroad commission were
aware that the. jitney was liable to
be Inloaded onto them. One of the
commissioners in looking over the
bill one day was struck with the idea
that this meant jitneys and began to
study the bill further.
Some railroad men who were
charged with being at least godfather
to the bill denied the impeachment,
but admitted that with few amend
ments the bill might be able to cover
the problem of jitney regulation.
Since that time it has been rumored
that substitute amendment had
been prepared which covers the lit
neg problem. The ones who are
worrying now are members of the
railroad commission, who see in the
passage of the bill if it should pass,
that their work will be doubled, at
least in annoyance, If nothing else.
