 Thus far in the drive our residents have responded nobly. having already purchased $5S.22O worth of bonds This Is exclusive of the Alaska Pack CTS association purchase of $7l .5Uo. and the kennecott Copper corpora tion's $100.O00 subscription. which brings Cordova's record up to $229.- 72O and before the drive is over this amount will exceed quarter of a million dollars.

 Although Cordova has helped dp it's part to furnish the boys that Uncle Sam needs to win the war. those of us who have not been called upon to fight must do our share to see that these boys are not only supplied with then necessary implements of warfare but that they are properly clothed and fed.

ARMY WORMDAhGER
IS POINTED OUT

Gainesville, Fla, Aug. 5.-(Special.)
That the army worm situation has
improved materially in the last three
days, but that further trouble is to be
expected the coming week, is the sub
stance of the situation as announced
by Mr.. Wilmon Newell, plant COM
missioner, last night.
In all cases where representatives
of the department of agriculture and
of the state plant board reached the
infested fields before the worms reach
ed large size, the crops were saved.
The application OF powdered lead ar
Senate with dust sprayers resulted in
killing from so to 90 per cent of the
worms with one application. The eff
ficiency Of the treatment used has
proved highly gratifying -
However, worms which matured be-
fore the poison was applied or which
matured in fields that were not reach
ed in time have now entered the ground
to pupate. The pupal stage lasts from
seven to ten days and at expiration
of this time the pupa transforms into
the adult moth. These moths, during
the coming ten days. will deposit eggs
in very large numbers on susceptible
crops. particularly castor beans, and
these eggs will produce another crop
of the young worms. In some locali-
ties few young worms of the new
generation are already making their
appearance.
In some cases farmers have reported
that the worms in their fields have dis
appeared but examination by inspec-
tors has shown that the ground in such
fields is many times literally filled
with pupae of the insect, waiting to
transform to the moth or adult stage.
Farmers should therefore continue 10
make daily inspection OF their fields
for the appearance of young worms.
On castor bean leaves these are first
detected by the appearance of small
transparent spots, where the young
caterpillars hatch from egg masses
and commence feeding in restricted
areas. In such cases the powdered
arsenate of lead should be applied
without delay.
The moths Matching from the pupae
now in the soil Will also be likely to
fly to new localities and others be car
ried by winds to points where the
worms have not yet been noticed. Far
mers in sections heretofore free from
the pest should therefore continue on
their guard and inspect fields care
fully during the next ten days or two
weeks.
The entomologists investigating the
outbreak now report the appearance of
parasites of the worm in some sec
tons. In their opinion the number OF
parasites is not great enough to pre-
vent serious damage by the next brood
OF worms. which in most localities is
considered as being the third brood
or generation of the season. Strong
hopes are entertained, however. that
Tho wi increase ranidSV
enough from now on to greatly curtail
the fourth brood and that in sections
which have already been heavily in
tested serious danger will be over by
the end of August. In the meantime,
eternal vigilance and prompt action III
infested fields will be necessary TO
save the crops.

into CAUSE DEATH
OF EDWARD V|LLER

For the purpose Of inquiring into the
cause of the death OF Ed. Villar, the
victim OF street car accident, Satur-
day night, coroners' jury has been
empaneled and the inquiry will start
at 10 O'Clock this morning in the Office
OF Justice of the Peace Will l.. John
son. In the meantime, and until the
jury makes return, S. B. Lassiter,
motorman on the car figuring in the
accident, is being kept at the county
jail. There is no charge yet against
him, but Mr.. Lassiter was transferred
to the county custody at 30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at the suggestion
fering much from the wound receiv-
ed on the leg, and walked with difficult
ty when he moved about yesterday.
The conductor, Mr.. Diamond, was al
lowed to go after the case had been
Inquired into. as it was not possible
for him to have been in any way to
blame for the accident. He had moth
ing to do with the motor operation
OF the car, and at the time of the ac-
cident was then busy on the back end
with passengers. 1t is rule OF the
company to have cars brought to
standstill thirty to forty feet from the
railroad crossing, getting the car I'M
der complete control before trying to
approach the crossing. This the mo-
torman endeavored to do, il is claimed,
but the brakes did not respond as he
had depended. He had been on the car
but few weeks, 1t is said, and was
not experienced in handling the motor
cars.
