RAILROADS SHOULD


QUITE number Of farmers are be-
ing delayed in their wheat planting
because they can't get their fertilizer.
Complaints are being made that fer
tilizer has been ordered for some time
and the railroads claim they are una
bic to furnish cars TO have it shipped
in.
The farmers Of Audrain county are
anxious to follow the advice 10 plant
as big 2 crop Of wheat as possible so
as to do their part in the direction Of
winning the war; but unless they can
get cars TO ship fertilizer in, their ef-
forts VIII be failure. It seems to
tie writer as though the railroads
Should make an extraordinary effort
70 furnish cars for this purpose, at
once. Later On it will be too late.
The railroads have promised to CO.
operate, and this is one Of their op-
portunities.

u. S. BUREAU CHIEF
NAMES STRANGE WORMS
THAT INVADED MEXICO

A clipping from the Ledger of re-
cent date, telling Of strange collect
ion of worms that were discovered on
the walks on East Monroe street,
was sent to the Bureau of Entomology
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. The following is from
L. c. Howard, chief of the Bureau:
81 have read the clipping from the
Mexico, Mo-, Ledger, in regard to
the pest of slimy worms. From the
description there is little doubt that
these so called worms were the larvae
of one Of the midges of the genus
Sciara. Several species have a curl
Gus habit Of travelling in armies so
close to each other as almost to form
one mass. They have been called
worm snakes. Allied species in Eur
ope have been termed army worms'
but in this country the term army
worm is applied to a caterpillar.
The species involved in these masses
probobly have been feeding upon de-
caying vegetation"
Yours truly,
L. o HOWARD,
Chief of Bureau.

We were satisfied, all the time, that

that it was only postponed The
Senator did not want the meeting 70
be held at q time when Senator Stone

Senator Stone TO name a convenient

HEAR 'EM H0LLER "HUR-
RAH FOR WILSON ~

AS the Ledger suggested a fex
days ago, the statesmen with their
cars to the ground are beginning to
hear a small voice from Missouri,
which came pretty near developing
into loud noise in the southeast part
Of the State, on account Of the atti-
tude Of some Of our so-called repre-
sentatives, regarding President vii
son and his war policies. Nov, just
observe these gentlemen climbing
upon the house-tops crying aloud
their loyalty to President Wilson and
his policies and the Government in
the war with Germany. What was It
Abe Lincoln said about fooling part
Of the people all of the time, but no.
being able to fool "all the people al
Of the time?"
