Insect Specialists
Plan Control of the
Wheat Joint Worm

On July 18th, Insect Specialists
from the Bureau of Entomology,
Washington, D. c., sand from State
Board of Entomology, Knoxville,
Tenn, held conventions in Greene
vile and Caney Branch with the
wheat growers for the purpose of ac-
quainting them with the life-history
and method of control for the wheat
Joint worm, an insect which has been
doing considerable damage to the
wheat in Greene county for the past
three years. These conventions were
we'll attended and proved to be very
interesting. Many questions were
asked the specialists who answered
them in a very practical manner. In
brief, the suggestions recommended
were as follows: The adult of the
joint-worm is small bee which would
hardly be noticed In the field. In
May, the eggs of this insect are de-
posted usually at the second joint of
the growing wheat; these being push
ed into the tissue, soon hatch into a
small grub which feeds upon the stalk
causing it to enlarge and later as the
head of the grain develops, the stalk
begins to harden and become brittle
hence the cause Of the falling OF
wheat. This insect passes the sum-
mer and fall in the stubble and
matches the following spring to re-
infest growing wheat. This insect is
very easy one to control if coop,
Grafton of all the wheat growers car
be obtained. 1t is necessary to turn
under the stubble some time during
the summer or early fall-disking is
not sufficient. As this fly is scatter
ed by the wind foA several miles, il
is highly important that all the in
tested stubble be turned, hence II
would be desirable not to SOW grass
or clover in your wheat, the stubblt
of which should be turned each sum
mer or fall to abate the injury result
ing from the wheat joint-worm. II
some parts of Greene county, full!
one half of the wheat crop was los
this year from the injury of the whea
! lioint-worm. In other places, 80, ~
10 and per cent of loss has result
ed. 1t is highly important, there
fore, to give cognizance to this Jest
and take drastic steps to controlling
it before it becomes generally estab
lished, not only throughout Green
county but all of the wheat growln
counties of the State.

u. S. Capital
Wrought Up Over
Mexican Trouble

WASHINGTON, July 21.-While
the state and navy departments today
awaited further information in regard
to the attack and robbery of boat
load of American sailors from the U.
S. S. Cheyenne in the Temesi river,
near Tampico, Mexico, July 6, the
Mexican government through its en-
bassy here informed the state depart
ment that it would "omit no efforts
in the prosecution and punishment of
those responsible for the murder of
John w. Correll, an American citi-
bzen, and the attack on his wife in the
Tampico district late last month.
The message from the Mexican gov
ernment replying to representation
made by the United States immediate
ly after the attack on the Correll fam
lily was reported, however, did little to
lessen the gravity of the situation ex-
isting since yesterday when news of
the attack on the American sailors
reached the state department. Off
cials made no attempt after the mes
sage relating to the Correll attack
was received to minimize the serious
ness of the situation resulting from
the assault on the sailors who were
dressed in American uniforms and
were in a motor launch at the mast
head of which was an American flag.
The message from the Mexican gov
ernment in the Correll case as made
public last night by Acting Secretary
of State Phillips, said
"The Mexican government will
omit no effort in the prosecution and
punishment of those responsible for Q
crime so odious, in the clearing up of
which it will exhaust all means at its
disposal"
In regard to the attack on the
American sailors-an incident which
eclipses all other matters in interest
in the capital today-it is expected
the state department after receipt OF
further details will ask the Carranza
government to apprehend and punish
the asailants. If unable to carry out
this request the Carranza government
next will be asked to disavow the at
tack
! Additional information is expected
: by both departments within a very
few days probably today. At thu
navy department it was said tina
there had been nothing received to in
dicate whether the note of inquir!
addressed by Secretary Daniels lat
yesterday to Commander Earl Pee
Finney of the Cruiser Topeka at Tam
pico, who reported the attack, ha
! been received by the office.
Some delay in the receipt of an ar
swer to the secretary's message of ir
quiry was anticipated. Because of ii
ability to communicate directly b
: wireless with the TOpeka-the exis
ence in the Gulf of Mexico of whs
is known by radio experts as "sta
2 ic."
While Commander Finney undoub
edly has investigated the affair tho
oughly, it was pointed out that
view of the request for fuller RI
port and result of investigation" h
might deem it expedient to inquil
before replying.
1t was learned today that the poir
on the Aemesi river where the Anne
lean sailors attacked is only thre
miles in direct line from the ou
skirts of Tampico Officials here
close touch with the Mexican situ'
ton estimate that there are at lea
200 Cananza troops IN the Tampic
district.
