Injury to Fruit
There las been much specuta-
! ton as TO the amount OF injury was
done to the fruit in the freezes a
the lattar part OF the week. The
writer inspected his orchard OF 25l
trees and noted that so far as he
could find there was no fruit alive
or the peach, plum. c;rorry or peat
trees and but few apples. Perhaps
ten per- cent Of the Rome Beauties
were alive and to s percent OF q
few varieties like Black Twig and
Yorks were get alive but may yet
drop off. The early Strawberries
that were in bloom wero killed but
II is not believed the later ones
were injured.
Although the young shoots Of
grapes with their buds were MI
killed back. yet most comments
overlook the fact that the craps
! produces fruit only on the nav
growth. and when killed back. II
has habit Of putting out again
with new crop OF bloom md fruit
SO there is likelihood of grapes.

PERlLED BY COAL STRIKE
Wisconsin Rail Commission Asked for
Aid to Relieve Higher Rate Need.

Madison, Visibility service in
Wisconsin is being seriously menaced
by the continuance of the coal strike,
according to representations made to
the State Railroad commission by E.
J. Cadby. secretary of the Wisconsin
Utilities association, who urged i'm
mediate relief from the coal shortage
and high prices to relieve the utilities
from the need for asking increased
rates.
Mr., Cadby told members of the com
mission that continuance of the strike
not only endangers utility service. but
also all other branches OF industry de-.
pending upon coal. He said that un-
less action was taken a coal panic
would result this winter because OF
the shortage OF the supply available to
Wisconsin househciders.
Report made to the utilities associa.
ton after a comprehensive survey
shows that companies have only q
three or four weeks supply available
and that additional supplies must be re-
ceived within the next week or utility
service may have to be discontinued.

CUT WORMS
DESTROY CORN
One Thousand Acres Have Been
RepIanted Twice in District
Near Sergeant.

Austin, Minn.-Throughout Southern
Minnesota thousands of acres of corn
must be %replanted. In and around Sar-
geant there are at least 1000 acres
that have been replanted to corn twice
this year, and some fields have been
%replanted three times. The late plant
ing OF corn will not give the farmer
anything better than fodder or en-
silage. Most of the farmers who have
lost their crops by reason of the bugs
and worms will seed to b~uckwheat.
County Agent Leidenstein says that
bugs and worms have been unusually
active this season. The weather
seems to have been of the kind that
makes for the health and appetite Of
these pests.
Ben King. a prominent farmer, has
found something different in the way
OF d pest, one that has not been re-
ported before ana one that the books
on destroyers OF corn do not enume-
rate. Early planted corn escaped its
ravages. He has sent samples of the
hug to the state entomologist for
classification and relief.
The cutworm has taken its share of
the corn crop, but its days are now
practically over for the season.

Lafayette visited America for the
last time In 1924. From the hour in
which his advent was heralded by a
rainbow enveloping and tinging Fort
Lafayette, just across the Narrows,
until he set sail for his native land,
he was feted and lionized. All the
chGrch bells of New York shouted !;
New Havenites forgot their puritan
zeal primness and Joined Justify. New
port, X. l. forgot that its most valued
bell had been given Trinity church by
an English queen and set it ringing
louder, even, than when 1t was pre-
sented by Queen Anne on her ascen.

proved that the bell she cast herself
In 1887 for her Baptist church was
capable of welcoming reverberations /;
and the largest in the town, weighing
nearly 5000 pounds, outdid itself be-
cause 1t was cast by Paul Revere of
Middlesex county fame.
Welcoming Peals at Boston.
In Boston Lafayette heard Revere's
t%rst-cast bell, hanging in the New
Brick church. Those of Christ church,
Old Brick church, as well of those of
the Old South assured him of their
welcome; while Kings chapel outdid
them all. The Harvard college bells,
already old, were not remiss.
The ovations continued throughout
the South. Entering Charleston, pre-
coded by a troop mounted on white
horses, Lafayette rode with his son,
George Washington Lafayette, and the
same little boy, now Major Huger, who
played with his French sword and at
tempted to rescue him at Oimutz. Per
haps Lafayette never had a happier
moment than. thus riding. he heard
st. Michaels' bells once more. His
Charleston friends may have told him
of the sad days when Major Traille Of
the Royal artillery claimed those same
bells as his perquisites when the Brit
ish had entered the city and Of the
anxieties experienced until. through
the good offices of London friends,
they were returned to their tower.
Paid Honors In the West.
At st. Louis he heard of the small
bells carried by Father Marquette IN
the Northwest; by De Smet In the
further Northwest Ooh, how great the
country grew as Lafayette listened
even. possibly, of the padre who was
building a chain of missions on the
western coast and ringing a bell when
ever he founded a mission. Pierre
Chouteau was a busy man. but he knew
many things and the gallant visitor
must know how wonderful the western
world was-how muc greater than he
knew when he fought for its liberty.
