Cutworms in Fields
Do Great Damage to
Crops in Nebraska

Unless drastic action is taken at
once to destroy cutworms working
on Douglas county alfalfa crops a
great loss may be experienced by
farmers, according to County Agent
Maxwell. Never in the history of
the state have crop-damaging insects
been so numerous as this spring, &C
cording to Mr.. Maxwell, and of all
the cutworm has been doing the
most damage.
Where there are considerable
numbers of these worms some
method of control should be adopt
ed" said Mr.. Maxwell. 1t has been
found that pasturing infected fields
with hogs will solve the problem
where a large enough herd of hogs
is available. Another method of
combating cutworms is to mix a
mash of 50 pounds of bran and ?
pounds of Paris green with a gallon
of cheap molasses, the juice and
ground-up pulp of six lemons, and
enough water to make stiff dough.
This mixture should then be scat
tered over the field.

HOUSE EFFECTS
BILLION SAVING
IN ONE MONTH
Floor Leader Monde|| Issues
Statement Following the
Passage of the Sum-
dry Civil Bill.

Washington, June 2l-(Special
to Bee)-Floor leader Mondell OF
Wyoming upon the passage of the
sundry civil bill in the house ISSUED
the following statement;
THE special session of the sixt.
sixth congress has been in session one
month. During that time the house
of representatives has considered
and passed the six general supply
bills and the railroad deficiency and
general deficiency bills which failed
i'll the closig hours of the last con.
gress at the end of three months ses-
sion. In the consideration aud the
passage of these bills the house has
effected a saving OF approximately
81 100000 in the amouts carried
in the same bills which, failed in the
session that expired March 4th last.
The savings were i'll the main on
three bills, though there were some
reductions on all, and on these
three bills, the army, navy and sun
dry civil, the reductions were i'll
round figures approximately as fol-
lows: on the army appropriation bill.
$40C ,000, 900; on the navy appropria-
ton bill, $225,000,0OO; on the sundrv
civil appropriation bill, $5S5.QO0, 900.
In addition to these reductions
the bill to supply, deficiencies i'll
railway revenues as it passed the
house carried $750,000,00O instead of
81, 200,0O0,000 as estimated by. the
railroad administrations reduction
of $450,000,000. These savings taken
all together total nearly $l.50Q.000.-
900 as the approximate net reduction
on appropriations by this first ses-
sion of the republican congress
below the proposed appropriations
of the-closing session of the demo-
cratic congress and the estimates.
Unprecedented Record Claimed.
mot only has the house made an
unprecedented record during the
80 days of the session in disposing
of appropriation bills, but the bills
have received careful and business
like consideration both in COM
mittee and on the floor. The re-
auctions have not been made reck-
lessly but after due consideration.
Notwithstanding the very great
savings that have been accom-
plished i'll the appropriations it can
be said without fear of successful
contradiction that no legitimate es-
sential or useful public service has
been injuriously curtailed by the re-
auctions that have been made. The
army and the navy, and the civil
services of the nation will all be
adequately cared for and provided
under the appropriations that have
been made by the house. 49,.
At the beginning of the session
the Republican majority of the house
in conference promise speedy ac-
ton on these appropriation bills and
also prompt consideration of a pro-
gram of legislation and investiga-
ton.
Pledge Splendidly Kept.
There can be no question but what
this pledge has been splendidly kept
as far as appropriations are con-
cerned and in the matter of legisla.
ton the house has considered and
passed the woman suffrage aresolu-
ton, the daylight saving repeal and
the bill returning the wires to their
owners and the various committees
of the house are actively engaged in D
the cons. deration of other important
legislation"

Apple Tree Injured by Rabbits-Not.
How the Bark Has Been Eaten.

destroyed and one band will generally
suffice to grow tree past the danger
stage from rabbits and mice. though
the borer danger is ever with us, writes
Lewis Hillara in Inland Farmer. After
the tree is larger other means will be
better for combating these.
The screen wire should be wide
enough so the rabbits cannot reach
above it even when there is a heavy
snow on The ground. Two feet will be
enough usually, and where heavy SHOWS
seldom are deeper than a few inches
they will not need to be as high as
this. We should remember that the
deeper the snow and the longer it is
on the ground the worse the danger
from rabbits, for they get very hungry
at such times, as they can reach very
little food.
Before going to the orchard we
should cut the wire into strips three
times the diameter we want the bands,
and this we regulate according to the
size of the trees, but we should allow
for a couple years growth. A foot
strip will give a band between three
and four inches when the lap for fast
enlng Is taken out, and this Is very
good size.

PUREBRED SIRE
ON EVERY FARM
There Is No Longer Any Place for
Inferior Bull in Any Ameri-
can Herd.
fine PROFIT FOR PRODUCER
Steers Sired by Purebred Bulls Bring
Top Prices at Chicago and Omaha
Markets on Account of Good
Quality and Size.
By FRANK D. TOMSON.)

Whenever the producer of scrub or
inferior stock comes into competition
with the producer of purebred or
high grade stock he loses. Every day
at every beef market the lesson of
good breeding Is taught and the man
who has stayed with the scrub bull
pays a high tuition for his schooling.
There is no longer any place for the
inferior bull on the American farm.
The prevailing costs are prohibitive.
On the other hand the prospects for
the producer of the higher standards
of both beef and dairy cattle were nev-
er so bright.
Many a load of steers has been sold
during the past year on the several
leading markets for $3.50 to 1924 per
head. 1t is easy to see that the pro-
ducers of such steers had fine profit
coming if they carried them through to
the marketing date. 1t is certain that
no matter when they disposed of them
they were assured of a profit for it is
such that attract the feeder. 1t will
be understood that good breeding and
good feeding were the basis of these
high prices. The steers We're by pure
bred sires and their dams in many
cases were by purebred sires.
Purebred Sire Responsible.
1t is long list of shipments that
have gone from the feedlots of Iowa,
Nebraska, Dakota, Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Indiana
and other states and brought their
owners around $500 per head. But the
purebred sire was back of each ship
ment and was the primary cause of the
lucrative prices. Out in Montana a
ranchman decided to use purebred
Shorthorn bulls on his range cows and
when two carloads of the steers by
them went to the Chicago market they
carried two important things-extra
weight and quality. They attracted
the buyers and sold for SIS per hun
dredweight, the record for rangebred
steers. Another well-known ranchman

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 90
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for .
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
