Prehistoric Man.

The life habits of prehistoric man,
as well as his antiquity on earth, are
known almost entirely from fossil re-
mains of various sorts. The data, how
ever, are very Scanty and Insufficient
for strictly logical deductions. Tools
and hunting weapons, bones of tropi-
cal fauna and remains of man are
found in the gravel beds of western
Europe. Apparently man antedates
the glacial period as this tropical
fauna there was previous to the ice
age and because remains of glacial
fauna, together with human remains,
occur in later geological deposits. Thus,
the antiquity of man becomes a ques-
ton of the date of the ice age, and
that occurred 10000 years ago at least.
The implements OF prehistoric man
form basis of division of early in
dustrial development into the stone
age, the bronze age, and the Iron age.

worm also is occasionally mistaken for
the true army worm, but 1t 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
:ca. 1t occurs throughout most of the
United States east of the Rocky noun

md California.
The loss in money to the farmer by
srIuy worms in the past has been eX-
ceedingly great, and although no exact
estimate is possible, it 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 cultlvat-
ed; next, upon the grasslike grains

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 body to de-
post 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.

Nation Wide System of instruction Re-
suit of Cooperation by Uncle Sam
With States and Local
Communities.
A new parsonage in the rural life Of
the United States is the county agent.
It has been through the county agent
in the past few years that Uncle Sam
has been distributing the stored up
knowledge that has been acquired
through years of research work by the
government agricultural experts and it
is through the county agent that Uncle
sam expects To further expand The
great educational work that is being
done among the farmers and their fam
HES throughout the country.
The county agent is the agricultural
general physician Of his ncighborhood.
If farm Is sick and run down, he
visits it, diagnoses the cause and pre-
SCriboS the remedy
The nationwide system of agriCul-
tural instruction, in which the county
agents play 50 important part, has
been made possible by cooperation be
tween Uncle Sam and the various
states and counties.
During the last fiscal year nearly
$J,OOO,OOO has been spent in the fur
thcruucc of this enterprise OF this
sum II little more than S2,OOOOO came
from the United States treasury; about
Sl,2OO, 900 from the various state treas
uries II little less than 81 600, 900 from
county moneys $225,O from the state
agricultural colleges and the remainder
from miscellaneous sources.
Year by year for seven years more
federal money becomes available un-
der the terms Of the agricultural extern
sion act. Ii the states contribute the
Share required Of them, more than 49,
100000 will be spent annually by the
final year 1922.
