league Of nations an issue in the
next, campaign are ready to demand
that candidates now in the race for
the republican presidential nomina-
tion declare themselves Immediately
on the league, it was learned today.
Letters have been prepared to be
sent all candidates who have not yet
taken definite stand. These in
clude Governor Frank o. Lowden OF
Illinois and General Leonard Wood.
Lowden will be quizzed first. He
will be asked to tell whether he IA

league as 1t is established by the
pending treaty, and what he would
do about withdrawal il elected presi'
dent.
Inquiries to be directed to the can
didates are to be SO framed, 1t Is
understood, that the aspirants for
the nomination will find 1t hard to
ignore them.
Neither Wood nor Lowden has so
far made any definite statement.
Senator johnson Of California and
Senator Poindexter of Washington
are irreconcilable foes of the league
and have made their positions clear.

ginia is IN favor Of the Lodge reser-

On the day Pomerene was to re-
port on his conference with Lodge
at meeting Of democratic members
Of the foreign relations committee
called by Senator Hitchcock. the
ranking democratic member, Senator
Shields. Tennessee, who. voted for
the Lodge reservations, was the only
democratic member not invited to
this meeting.

by the senate and the leadership IN

INJURIES CORN CROP
Doing Much Injury to Corn, Cane and
in Some instances to
Cotton Also

Upon a recent visit TO different
oints in Louisiana by a representative
of the Department if Entomology, it
was found that the rough-headed
cornstalk borer was doing a great deal
of damage to the cane and corn, and
in some instances had attacked cotton.
After further investigation 1t was
found that the greatest damage
done by this insect was in stubbIe
cane, and to the corn that was plant
ed on land that had neen in sod the
previous yea or land that had not
been cultivated last fall.
As a result of the serious damage
done by the rough-headed cor11stalk
borer, there has been a great many
inquiries as to control measures for 1t.
In short, the life history of this in
sect is as follows:
It passes the winter in the adult
stage, alternating in sod land, and
other places where it had bred the
previous summer, such as land that
was planted in corn or cane. In the
spring 1t begins to damage the cane or
corn by eating into it at a point Just
beneath the surface of the ground.
After feeding for a while, mating
takes place, and the eggs are deposit
ed in the ground. In about two weeks
the eggs hatch into. what is common
~ known as grub worms. The grub
worms do not do any damage, as they
feed on decayed vegetable mater that
is in the soil. From the grub worm
they change into the pupa Or resting
stage. It is in this stage that the In
sect is easiest killed. From the pupa
stage, the insect changes to the adult
stage. This latter change takes place
during the latter part of summer and
early fall. Thus the complete life
cycle is passed beneath the surface of
the ground. Therefore there is no
chance of controlling it by poisoning,
or by spraying. The only way we have
to control this insect is by cultural
methods.
In controlling the rough-headed
cornstalk borer, the first thing is to do
away with the favorite breeding
grounds, which in low, wet sod land,
along ditch banks, fence rows, etc.
Second, pIoW and harrow the land in
late summer and early fall in order to
kill the insects while they are in the
stage. BY this cultivation the
farm implements will kill the most of
them. and a great many will ge ex-
posed to weather conditions. which
will result in their death. During the
summer hogs can be turned into the
field or pasture and they will gorge

KEEP THE GARDEN
GOING ALL SUMNER

Gardeners should interpret literally
the old adage, Don't let the grass
grow under your feet according to
Miss Ola Overbey. garden specialist,
Extension Division, Louisiana State
University, who advises that frequent
shallow cultivation be practiced for
keeping down grass and weeds and
also to conserve the moisture for the
vegetable growth.
"A mistake that many gardeners
make" says Miss Overbey, is to neg
lect spaces where vegetables have
matured and passed their stage of
usefulness. Such vegetables should
be removed to make room for other
paintings, such as peanuts, black-eyed
peas, late okra, pumpkins, cucumbers,
etc. If none Of these is desired, plant
the vacant spaces to eowpeas and
thus be fair to the soil"

It is believed that he went
back to investigate a charge OF

promptly and while near it, the
charge went off, injuring him.
He has not been able to tell how
it happened yet, nor is his con-

Left This City Last Saturday for
Union Bay
Mammoth Scow Load Of Supplies Taken
Down. Log on Extensive
Scale.

That the Kenfield-L -Lamoreaux
company of this city is gcin z
to carry on logging operations
on quite an extensive scale this
winter was borne out last Fri
day afternoon when a scow load
of provisions for their Michigan
camps left this city.
1t was the largest scow load of
provisions that has ever left this
city and, contained tons of hay,
feed, provisions and horses.
The loading of the scow was
done under the direction of Alex
Gackowski, manager of the Ken
field-Lamoreaux company, and
Frank Downs, and it took a
crew full day and a half to get
the supplies aboard.
The scow left this city last
Friday evening at $50 o'clock
in tow of the tug ]. B. Williams
and arrived at its destination
early Sunday morning where the
supplies were unloaded.
The Embellishments COM
pany expect to have a crew of
upwards Of Is men nc their
Michigan camps and che plan Is
to cut about two q half million
feet during the winter months.
These logs will be RATED or
scowed to this city and cut in
the mill of the Kenfield-Lamor-
eaux company, formerly the
Lake Shore Lumber company
mill.
This amount Of timber. to-
gether with other timber which
this company has either pur-
chased or is logging will give
the mill in this city a good sea-
sons cut and will insure the en-
ployment Of an extra crew Of
men by this company.
