ACTUAL DAMAGE TO OUR CROPS
As COMPARED WITH TOTAL, SLIGHT

The concensus of opinion among the
experiment station men, the depart
ment station men. the department Of
agriculture's field man, who is now at
the MOccasin station, and others, is
that no danger is to be apprehended
from the cut worm in Fergus county
this year. Most of the damage done
so far has been by the plant louise,
although the wire worm has also done
some harm. AS for the plant louise,
which constitutes the only real men,
ace to crops at this time, climatic con-
ditions are all that can now be relied
upon to rid the infested sections of the
pest. It has done considerable dam
age around Kolin and in that general
section. Elsewhere it does not seem
to have caused any trouble. Summing
up, it is estimated that out of the
whole immense grain acreage of Fer
gus county, total of 1,4O 0acres has
sustained more or less damage In
some cases this is slight and in others
so heavy as to practically destroy a
few fields, which have been replanted
with flax.

CLAIM NAGEL IS
OBJECTIONABLE
RAILWAY EMPLOYEES DO NOT
WANT HIM cN THE MEDl-
ALTON BOARD.
IS TRUSTEE Of THE BUSCH ESTATE

WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Federal
Judge Martin P. Knapp, chairman of
the board OF mediation and concilia-
tion now handling the western railway
wage dispute, conferred with Presi
dent Wilson today over protest which
the railway employees have made
against Charles Nagel, former secre-
tary of commerce and labor and a
member Of the arbitration board.
The protest is based on the fact that
Mr.. Nagel is trustee Of the Busch
estate OF st. Louis, which is said to
be large holder Of railway securities
President Wilson. it became known
tonight, possibly supported the efforts
OF the board of mediation and concilia-
tion to stop the protest against Mr..
Nagel. w. s. Carter and Warren s.
Stone, representing the $4,000 engi-
neers and flremen involved, replied,
however, that they had taken the step
by advice Of counsel.
Mr.. Nagel is one Of two arbitrators
named by the board Of mediation and
Cancellation under the Newlands act
after the two sides to the controversy
had each selected two men and had
failed to agree on the other two.
President Wilson is taking an active
interest In the situation, partly because
it was at his personal request that the
arbitration was agreed to last summer
after it seemed that a strike Of the
engineers and firemen on SO western
railroads was certain.

can be done most readily and at least

extending the length along the river
at critical places, of the leyees. The
estimated cost is placed at $50 600 goo,
which is TO be asked of Congress at
its next session.
The information, together with a
great deal of other interesting data
has been furnished by the Mississippi
River Levee Association in a nicely
illustrated booklet The association,
composed OF prominent men of the
lower Mississippi Valley, is formed
for the express purpose of preventing
disasters such as occurred in 1912 and
1913, when the loss of property result

river was more than double the esti
