ARMY WORM OUTBREAK

During the last few days the writer
has visited a number of farms where
the Army worm is apparently on the
increase. They have already done con.
siderable damage to uncut oats anC
there is a possibility that further
trouble will be experienced. There is
one thing that is working to the ad.
vantage of the farmers, and that is
the fact that the worm is appearing
later than usual. 1t is quite com.
mon thing for them to disappear as
suddenly as they appear and we car
only hope that such will be the case
with this outbreak.
1t is best to watch the fields care
fully and in case appearances seem to
indicate that they are increasing rap
idly and are doing considerable dam
age, steps should be taken to control
them. There are two very effective
remedies which can be used.
When confined to small areas, fur
rows plowed around those areas at
intervals of ten to fifteen feet will
serve as traps in which to catch the
worms. When the furrow nearest
the marching worms becomes filled,
the dirt can then be turned back and
most of those which are buried will
be unable to get out. When the other
burrows have caught their share of
the worms they should be filled up in
the same manner. In this way an out
break in small areas can be very sue
cessfuly controlled.
The poison bait method is most
effective where the worms are distri-
buted over large areas. A mixture of
one pound of white arsenic with one
bushel of wheat brand, moistened with
one gallon of water in which has been
dissolved three-fourths pound of salt
and one cup of molasses, is the best
remedy on large areas. More water
may be necessary to give the mixture
the consistency Of mixed mash.
This should be sowed in the path of
the advancing worms and will catch
practically all of them if applied IT,
ward evening. This is the same MIX
ture recommended for grasshopper
contral, except that bran proves more
successful in the case of Army worm
than does the sawdust.

LEE COUNTY AND
RAILROAD BONDS
They are Nearly All Paid OF Now,
and the Big Original Issue
Will Be Extinguished
Soon

In 1857, the year of Black Friday,
and the bursting of numerous booms,
including some big ones hereabouts,
Lee county issued S450,000 in bonds
to give to railroads to build through
this county These bonds were at
eight percent.
BY the financiering methods in
vogue then, accrued interest and
costs brought the total up to SS26,400
in 1870, even after $252,415 had been
paid on them.
On March /, 1870, the issue was
refunded at SS26,400 and at six per-
cent interest On March /, 1895, the
balance amounted to S660,000 and
bonds to that amount were issued
bearing Az percent.
On March /, 1900, there remained
unpaid $550,000, and new bonds were
issued bearing 3& percent.
There now remains unpaid but
$4,000, the last of which will mature
on Dec. /, 1920.
Since Dec. 81, 1915, or little over
three years, $135,00O of these bonds
have been paid.

The Heroes Now at Home.

A project to send all of the men
invalided home to New York to meet
the regiment failed to pass the Iowa
legislature. 1t was promised that
these men and all soldiers of all units
at home discharged, should be taken
to Des Moines to the celebration at
the states expense, but nothing def
mite ever came of that, insofar as is
known here.
Some of the best men in that best
regiment, the 16Sth infantry, have
been at home on account of wounds
and gas for several weeks, and while
they were as good fighters as those
not unlucky enough to get wounded,
it looks now like they will not have
chance at the big demonstration at
Des MoineS.

This is change from the former

Keokuk had nearly seventy men in
this most famous regiment of the
army, during the days that it made
it's high reputation.
Now, as nearly as can be ascer-

are left to come home with the Rain
bow division in the 16Sth infantry.
The old Keokuk Company l. is in
another division entirely, with its
officers about all Of Keokuk that is
left in it.
Sixty-seven men were transferred
out of the old Company l. to the
16Sth infantry, and these went to
France with the Rainbow division.
Three-fourths of them are at home
wounded or otherwise invaded, or
have been transferred again. Only
remnant of the Keokuk bunch are
left in the famous 16Sth to sail from
