Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 16.-While the
average Kansan has little idea of where
the insect pests spend the winter, yet
this knowledge, say the entomologists
in the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, is of utmost Importance to the
farmer in working out and applying
methods of control.
The entopologists explain that most
of the insects in the winter season are
IN a state in which they are readily ac-
cessible to control, and that generally
the best methods of control are con-
ducive to better agriculture regardless
of whether the insects are actually
present. This is particularly true of
means employed in exterminating the
staple crop insects.
1.-The staple crop insects-the field
crop pests-spend the winter in all
stages" says James W. McColloch,
assistant in entomology IN charge of
staple crop insect investigation. ''That
is, one group of insects may live
through the winter as adults, another
may hibernate as larvae, and still
another may exist in the egg stage"
The chinch bug, states Mr.. McCol-
loeh, spends the winter as an adult in
clump forming grass, such as blue stem
and bunch grass. Burning grass is a
good practice.
The corn-ear worm winters as pupa
in its pupal cell from to inches be-
low the surface of the ground. The
'faxseed' or Hessian fly pupa may be
found in early sown or volunteer wheat
or in wheat stubble. They are under
the sheaths of the wheat stock.
The graxshopper remains in the egg
stage throughout the winter. The eggs
are in capsules at depth of from one
half to one inch below the surface of
the ground along the road side, in al
falfa fields, and in almost any unculti-
waited land
Corn. hill bugs pass the winter as
adults in the taproots of corn plants.
In combating the Hessian fly, the
most important thing, and the one the
Experiment Station has always placed
stress upon, is the destruction of all
volunteer wheat" says George A.
Dean, professor of entomology. -Four
things are emphasized: ~ the thor
ough preparation of the seed bed, ~
destruction of all volunteer wheat, 81
late sowing, and az cooperation. -

FREED MORSE,
SEEKS 100000
Max Baum, Suing Finan-
cier, Says Roses Were
His Only Reward.

Charles W. Morse, head OF the re-
Gently organized United States Steam
ship Company, a s25,oOO,oOO Maine cor
poration, has been served with notice
of a suit for 100000 brought against
him in the Supreme Court by Max {.
Baum, a real estate dealer.
Baum claims this amount for his
services in circulating petitions and in
other ways working for Morse's release
from the Federal prison at Atlanta,
where the capitalist was serving a SEN
tence of fifteen years for violation of
the Federal banking laws. Baum sets
forth it was largely through his eff
forts that President Taft was induced
to pardon Morse in January, 1912.
The real estate dealer says his SER
vices began at the time Morse was be-
ing tried here. He investigated the
Jury and found, he says, that one OF
the jurymen had been intoxicated
while hearing the case. An appllca-
n
made on this ground.
According to Baum, he was retained
by Morse both at conferences and by
letter, and was promised he would be
made wealthy beyond his widest
dreams" if he succeeded in bringing
about the financier's release from the
penitentiary. A bunch of American
Beauty roses, sent to his wife by Mr..
and Mrs. Morse following the fnan-
cier's release, was all he ever received,
he saws, besides letter of thanks.
Baum says he used his influence with
Masonic friends, obtained the names of
prominent men on petitions and had
other persons of influence communl-
cate with President Taft on behalf OF
Morse.
The plaintiff says he has been unable
70 sec Morse since his release, and
process servers have been trying TO
serve Mrs. Clementine G. Morse, the
fnancier's wife, in the suit since last
fall. Il required three months OF al
most constant vigil to serve Morse at
his Office, 27 William Street. Mrs.
Morse will be made a defendant as soon
as she can be served.
Mr.. Morse, when talked TO over the
telephone at his apartment IN he Ala
media. Broadway and Eighty-fourth
Street, said:
Baum won't get a cent. His story
about my promises to him and the
American Beauty roses sail bosh. MY
attorney, Kenneth Mackenzie. OF u
William Street, has asked Baum for o
bill o. particulars for the services he
saws he rendered for me; hut I'll bet he
never offers anv such bill"
Former President Taft was quoted a
few months ago as saying he suspected
fraud had been perpetrated IN induc,,
ing him to sign pardon on the ground
of i'll health, but he had been unable to
confirm this suspicion. Custln ID. Har-
rison, one time deputy warden IN the
Atlanta prison, now dead, was authority
for the statement Morse offered TO make
him wealthy if he would permit pri-
vatc wire to be run from Wall Street to
Morge's cell.
