Ida Grove, July 15.-Many Ida county
farmers are complaining about the
damages being done to the corn crop
by the corn louise, which also is called
the corn milk cow This insect is
but very little larger than the bug
of the same name that gets busy on
the human head, is green in color and
works at the base of the corn stalk in
great numbers. One farmer residing
near Ida Grove brought in five stalks
from his field on which the louise had
been working, and from neighbors
field just across the road which had
been planted at the same time. He
had a similar number of stalks from
the two farms and there was almost
twelve inches difference in their length
Stalk Ground Infested.
The stalks infested by the insects
were from corn stalk ground of 1914
and that of the neighbor from ground
that had been rotated, and on the lat
ter the bug had not made its appear
ance and the stalks had an excellent
color and growth.
Farmers assert that the corn crop
on stalk ground has been injured 80
per cent, while the continued wet
weather has put the fields back at
least ten days later than the usual corn
years.
The cat harvest will commence
about the first Of next week and the
crop promises to be good. Barley has
suffered from the rains and many fields
have been badly lodged.

On plea Of guilty entered In dis
trict court Monday afternoon by N.
Cohn. the judge assessed a fine of SIS
for false and fraudulent advertising.
This is the first case Of the kind under
the new law. and the court took this
fact into consideration The court also
made the fine low because this was
COINS first offense. The complaint
was made by the Waterloo Retail Mer-
chants Association after repeated
warnings, according to the secretary,
F. A. Fenton. It appears that the de-
Iendant advertised on hand bills that
certain clothing which he was selling
vas all wool and certain suspenders
were Of silk. It is claimed by the pro-
secution that the garments advertised
as being all wool contained little wool
!: and the the suspenders were not Of
silk. There were three counts against
Cohn. After complaint was made the
case came into the court Of Justice
Walter r. French for preliminary. The
county attorney looked after the pro-
secution. French held Cohn to the ac-
ton Of the grand jury, and the case
went directly before the Judge on an
information, which Is provided by law.
The court had the right to assess a
maximum fine OF $500. but in view Of
the plea Of guilty, this being the first
complaint and the belief that there
would be no repetition Of the offense.
the amount assessed was a nominal
one.
