SAVE YOUR CORN AND
FROM Cur WORMS.

A serious outbreak of cut wormssin
La Grange, Union and other town
ships threaten the corn and hay crop
of Harrison county. The cut worms
first made their appearance in the
alfalfa fields and meadows and, are
now migrating in great numbers to
the corn and oat fields On, several
farms visited by County Agent Ham
mans and Mr.. Albert Hartzell, speci-
alist from the State Agricultural
College Of Ames, the injury was un-
usually severe and unless steps are
taken at once to combat this pest, the
hay and corn crop of this county will
suffer.
The parent moth laid their. eggs on
the grass stems in the spring. The
worms which are now appearing in
such vast numbers require several
week to complete their growth. After
the insects have destroyed the grass
crop they migrate to the corn and;oat
fields in enormous numbers and in
very short time lay waste acreages.
Efforts are being made by the Farm
Bureau office to obtain state aid in
the control of this pest, but unless
steps are taken at once by the farm
ers in the infested districts it is fear
ed that this aid will reach them too
late to save the crop.
Fields that have been invaded may
be saved by plowing trench around
then. and digging holes at intervals
Of Is to 20 feet. These holes should
be at least 10 to ~ inches deep. The
side of the trench toward the corn
field should be vertical. The worms
viii no. be able to cross this tren.h
and will collect IN the holes where
they may be killed by sprinleling
kerosene.
Corn fields where the worms hive
gained ii foot hold may be saved by
applying the poison bate CT the fol-
lowing portions
SO pounds of bran,
pounds of Paris Green.
Sufficient water should be added to
this mixture so that it can be- appf, il
by hand. The above formula is
enough to cover from seven to eight
acres and should be applied late in
the afternoon or on a cloudy day. j.

A FINE ART EXHIBIT.

The art exhibit recently held at
st. Patrick's school was revelation
to the greater part of the large NUM-
Der who attended. Comparatively
few have realized that it was posi-
BILE to obtain such high-class instruc-
tion in art in this city.
The visitors were delighted with
the magnificent display of oil and wa
ter colors, and the china painting.
This section of the instruction is
an advantage that our citizens should
not overlook.
Students are admitted without re-
gard to religious convictions, in fact
we are informed that the greater num-
Der of the art students are not men,
bers OF the church under whose aus
pices the school is conducted.

THE FARMER AS A BUSINESS
MAN

No other industry has gone for
ward as fast as farming Americas S
foremost business. During the last
ten years the farm methods have been
revolutionized. The automobile, the
tractor, the cream separator, the tele-
phone and dozens of other machines
have done away with old, tedious la
bors.
All America knows that farming is
a real business, that the farmer is a
business man. He should not deprive
himself of the labur-saving devices
and comforts that are known to, men
in other industries. Thousands of
farmers are practicing scientific
farming in their fields. They under
stand crop rotation. They are plow-
ing deeper. And they are getting 100
per cent returns from their endeav-
ors. Yet there are not enough farm
ers who have put that same amount
of efficiency into their "office work" !"
Yes. office work. For every farmer
should have an office. He should
have desk and keep a set of books
and records. Here is the way the
Prairie Farmer talks to it's readers in
an editorial:
Charming is business. The man
who makes the greatest success of
farming is the one who runs it on
business principles. He knows where
his money goes, and how much it
costs him to produce his crops and
feed his cows. He may not feel as
much at home in his office us lie does
in the steer lot, but he knows that the
time he spends there keeping his ac-
counts or writing out letters on his
typewriter is time spent to good adj
vantage. He knows that this office
work is just as effective as that in
the field"
The core of this office work should
be typewriter, the greatest piece of
office machinery ever invented. No
merchant, no lawyer, no manufactur-
er-no man needs typewriter more
than farmer. Why shouldn't
farmer have printed ietterhead?
Like the banker, the lawyer, the store
keeper? Why shouldn't his letters go
oat to the world with business-like
appearance?

A UNIQUE RECORD.

Recently there was held in Mis-
souri, Valley memorial services for
Dallas Shelton, son of Howard Skel-
ton, who died while in military SER
vice.
The death Of this young man has
revealed unique record in the Skel-
ton family. There were twenty two
men bearing this name and related to
these Harrison county Skeletons, in
the service. And their service flag
now contains twelve gold stars.
That is surely grievous loss.
Nevertheless it is q record to be proud
of. 1t recalls and justifies printing
in tribute the famous letter Of Abra-
ham Lincoln to the Widow Bixby.
The letter follows:
Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
c., Nov. 81, 1864.
Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Mass.
Dear Madam have been shown in
the files of the war department a
statement of the adjutant general Of
Massachusetts, that you are the moth
er of five sons who have died glor-
iously on the field of battle. l feel
how weak and fruitless must be the
words of mine which should attempt
to beguile you from the grief of a loss
so overwhelming. But l cannot re-
frain from rendering to you the
thanks of the republic they have died
to save. pray that the Heavenly
Father may assuage the anguish of
your bereavement, and leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved
and lost, and the solemn pride that
must be yours to have laid so costly
a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Very sincerely and respectfully,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
