The department of agriculture has

to give him summary of the informa-

pecially to urge upon him the necessity
for constant vigilance in the combat
with this insect.
The true army worm is often con-
fused in the public mind with the fall
army worm, overflow worm," or
'grass worm," as it is known in some

CROSS SPRINGS FREAK PLAY
Hit by Batted BaII-lncident
Occurred Years Ago.

Monte Cross is responsible for a
story of two base runners being put out
by batted ball. While the Athletics
were playing the Browns years ago
Cross was on second and Clements on
third. With two out and three and
two on the batter, both base runners
started with the windup. The batter
hit along the third base line, winging
Clements, and the ball carromed off
the latter's shin and struck Cross just
as he reached third, both being de-
clared out as the result of being hit
by a batted ball.

The true army worm usually appears
in the fields very suddenly, and it
seems quite certain that the moths at
times fly in great numbers for many
miles in the direction of the prevail
ing winds, and alight in a body to de-
posit their eggs at some place favor
able to the development of their off
spring. This fact accounts for the sud-
den appearance of the army worm in
regions far removed from any known
source of infestation. Generally speak
ing, outbreaks of the true army worm
are more common following cold, back
ward springs and should be looked for
first in neglected portions of fields upon
which rank growths of wild grasses or
lodged and fallen unripe grain are to
be found. These should be examined
frequently and closely to discover the
small, greenish caterpillars, which
may be found in great numbers feeding
near the surface of the ground under
the sheltering Overhanging leaf blades.
When the worms are discovered at
work do not lose a minute, but attack
them vigorously by means of burning
straw over the area. If the caterpil-
lars are well distributed, the crop
should be sprayed heavily with mix
ture composed Of nine ounces of white
arsenic to. 80 gallons of water. Care
should be exercised in preventing
stock from gaining access to the poi
soned grass or grain and being in
jured or killed by eating it. 1t is far
better to sacrifice portion of the crop,
if the destruction of the pest can be
accomplished thereby, because if the
army worms are not destroyed they will

EVERY FAN GETS SEAT
Manager of st. Joseph Team
Tells of Plans for 1917.
Would Do Away With Bleachers and
Have 25 and 50-Cent Grandstand
Sections-Move Should Be
Popular With Patrons.

Manager Jack Holland of the st. Jo-
seph team thinks he has in d large
measure discovered the reason for the
small attendance at ball games in
hot weather. He has come to the
conclusion that the bleacher fans, who
are his best patrons, will not go to
the ball park on an extremely warm
a good many of them cannot afford
to pay so cents for grandstand
seat.
"Next season. no matter where l
am-whether 1t is in st. Joseph or
some other city, am going to do
away with the bleachers and have
twenty-five and fifty cent grandstand
sections" Holland said. IF l stay in
st. Joseph shall rearrange the stands
and the playing field. The bleachers
will be removed. There will be about
fifteen hundred twenty-five cent seats
in a section at the north end of the
grandstand and an addition will be
built to the south end of the grand
stand for fifty-cent seats"
This move on the part of Holland
should be decidedly popular with the
bleacher fans. Jack says that the
bleacher idea is a mistake in base
ball and that the time is coming when
the minor leagues will realize it. He
takes the stand that the bleacherite
Is the steadiest patron of the national
game and that little more attention
should be given to caring for his
comfort and convenience.

South and travels northward as the
summer advances. The western army
worm also is occasionally mistaken for
the true army worm, but it occurs in
destructive abundance only throughout
the regions west of the Mississippi
river. The true army worm is prob
ably a native of North America, al
though it is also found in South Amer
lea. 1t occurs throughout most of the
United States east of the Rocky noun
tains, including the states bordering
the western banks of the Mississippi
and the Missouri river. 1t also has
been found in New Mexico, Arizona
and California.
The loss in money to the farmer by
army worms in the past has been ex-
ceedingly great, and although no exact
estimate is possible, 1t is safe to say
that in the eastern states alone many
millions of dollars worth of grain and
forage crops have disappeared down
their throats during the past thirty
years. The army worm Injuries crops
In but one way, and that is by eating
away all the tender portions of the
leaves, the immature seed, and sprouts,
and when numerous 1t may even de-
YOUR the plants down to the very
ground. The more important and by
far the most conspicuous injury is al
ways inflicted by the nearly full-grown
caterpillar, whose greed and capacity
for food are almost unbelievable. The
pupa takes no food. The moth sub
sists principally upon the nectar gath
cred from flowers.
The army worm feeds by preference
upon grasses, both wild and cultivat-
ed; next, upon the grasslike grains,

In case the worms are crawling in a
body, surround them with a furrow or
ditch and crush them with log drag
as they fall into it. If shallow post
holes are sunk in the bottom OF the
ditch at intervals of about 20 feet, the
worms will crawl along the ditch bot
toms and fall into the holes, where
they may be destroyed by crushing or
other means.

REASON FOR DEFEAT

One Saturday afternoon dur
ing the spring training season
the Giants second team dropped
q game to the Waco club of the
Texas league. 1t was said later
that the reason for the defeat
was that the youngsters had
overeaten at luncheon. This
was borne out by one of the
"bushers."
1--WE did eat too MUCH" he
said, "but there was reason.
We had breakfast at eight
thirty and didn't get anything
more to eat until nearly two
o'clock. We sure were hungry"
"Do you mean to say you had
to go without food for more
than five hours?" he was asked.
Eyes, we did," he answered
vehemently.
