WORMS CONTINUE
DEPREDATIONS IN
FIELDS OF CORN

COLUMBUS, Ca, July 1.-THE
army worm is responsible for the de-
Struction of vast areas of corn and
hay in this section, according to Farm
Agent jenkins, following an investi-
cation in several of the big fields
made barren by millions of these
pests in Muscogee county during the
past week.
Mr.. Jenkins says the worms have
covered many sections of Alabama,
and that they have just crossed the
Chattahoochee river at this point.
They have worked great havoc where
they attacked the corn, all ages and
sizes being cut and literally eaten up
by the pests. All grass is also be-
ing devoured by the worms.
~ Arsenate of lead is suggested as
remedy by Mr. Jenkins, who declares
that this will destroy the pests. A
number. of the larger farmers Of
the county are already using this
preparation Fifty gallons can be
made from one and half pounds of
arsenate, by adding two pounds of
lime.
: The wesms are multiplying rapid
ly and spreading in many sections.
While there fis much concern among
the farmers! it is believed by many
that they will be able to combat the
pests. Already heavy damages have
resulted in several sections, the city
farm having lost some $4,000 worth
of food

Unexpected opposition to the pro-
posal OF leading members of the House
immigration Committee that Amer
ica's doors be closed to immigration
for two years developed in the House
to-day. when an attempt was made to
expedite the passage of the measure.
AS "a result considerable doubt ex-
lists whether the proposed immigra-
ton ban can he passed through the
House except after long fight. The
impression had prevailed that an over
whelming majority of the House be-
lieved some immediate action of this
kind should be taken.
The first evidence of opposition came
when Representative Siegel (N. Y.) le-
man1ed that he be allowed two days
TO file a minority report against the
immigration suspension bill as proposed
by Representative Johnson (Wash)
chairman Of the Immigration Committee.
Previous plans were to bring up the
bin under special rule.
Mr. Siege said the rush to enact the
immigration ban was due 10 anti-Jewish
propaganda. initiated largely BY Henry
Ford. He declared the Johnson bill was
reported out of the committee with no
hearings. and that It was a hodge
podge legislative attempt" which should
not be enacted.
The point about the whole proposi-
tion liz the fear that large numbers of
Jews are flocking into the country" Mr.
Slegel said. "Otherwise a comprehen-
sive measure would have been reported.

lation 20 handle the japanese or Mexican

AT present there are seventy-six

ganda."

Senator Harding pushed through a

chiefly TO whether the days conferences
had developed any Cabinet possibilities.
Senator Harding was reminded OF talk

said he had not yet offered a Cabinet
position to anybody.
