On Friday last the Oakland High
school team journeyed to Masontown,
West Va, and won an exciting game
by the score of % to 20. The locals
took the lead early in the game and
managed to retain it until the final
blast was sounded. Pollock was the
high point-getter for the home team,
netting six goals from the field.
On Monday night the same team
went to Salisbury, Pa, where they
were defeated in hard fought game
by the tune of SO to %. Oakland
showed a good brand of password,
but was unable to cope with the
stronger quintet. The outcome was in
doubt until the last quarter when the
Salisbury boys seemed to take new
9life and Gagged field goals at will. The
Sscore at the end of the first half was
II to II.

Find No Trace of
Highland Cashier

PLATTEVILLE-F He'll, dep
uty Z. S. Marshal of Madison, was
here Sunday after searching various
places for a clue to the whereabouts
of Grover ELAN, formerly cashier of
the First National bank at Highland
which was closed about a year ago.
Soon after his disappearance more
than two months ago his parents re-
ceived a letter from him and sister
at Dodgeville admits receiving one
letter. Since then no trace of the
missing man has been found. Accord
ing to relatives he could not have
had a great deal of money on his per-
son when he departed.
The q. S. authorities look upon
Elam's disappearance as a violation
of good faith. He was suffering from
burns met with in an automobile &C
cident and was permitted TO remain
at home until he had recovered al
though he was wanted in connection
with irregularities in the bank funds.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES
Army Worms Still at Work

Although the season is getting late
for the first brood of Army worms to
work they are still doing damage in
some sections of Grant county. Every
few days we learn of new outbreaks.
However, we feel certain that the
ravages of the first brood are nearly
over. Weather conditions will control
to a great extent the damage to be
done by the second brood. In this Sec
ton we will have at least two broods
a year. The danger of the second
brood depends entirely upon weather
conditions. If we have dry, warm
weather their damage will not be as
serious as if it were dark, cool and
damp. This is true due to the fact
that the Army worm has its natural
enemies or parasites that prey on
them. Most of these parasites belong
to the fly family. With the proper
weather conditions for the develop
ment of flies will mean that the nat
ural enemies will in most cases take
care of the second brood When we
say flies we do not mean the ordinary
house fly, but a certain class of fly.
However, you can see if weather con-
ditions are not beneficial for the de-
velopment of these parasites, that our
second brood of the Army worm may
do considerable damage. With this
fact in mind it seems wise that we
take steps to do all we can to kill
off the worms of the first brood.
We are pleased to state that the
control of the Army worm by the use
of poison bait which we have recon-
mended is proving very satisfactory
over the county and we sincerely
trust that all those who are having
outbreaks of this pest shall take steps
to protect their crop and at the same
time check the possibility of a second
outbreak later on this summer. We
have reason to believe that the Sec
ond brood will develop and start ac-
ton some time during the latter part
of July or the first of August.
The Army worm can be stopped so
why let it clean up your corn or your
small grain crops? Take steps to
eradicate them if they make their ap-
pearance on your farm.
Corn Root Lice
1t seems it is rather difficult for a
farmer to get a crop without some
pest hindering it's development. Every
year some form of pest makes its APP
pearance in some fields over this Sec
ton. However, many of these pests
may be controlled by the proper me-
thods of culture. This year we have
the grub; we also have the cut worm
and lately we have been affected with
the Army worm.
The refraining from sowing timothy
for hay and the spring blowing of
sod will do much to control cut worms
and grubs worms. 1t is found from OBJ
servation that the grub worm seems
to relish timothy and that the adult
of the white grub usually deposits
eggs in the timothy field. Glover sod
and alfalfa sod very seldom, when put
into corn, show serious results from
grub worms.
Last but not least of the pests that
are bothering us this year is the
corn root louise. These are hard to
see as they work under the ground
and are very small. However we are
finding many fields infested with corn
root louise. They are in the corn for
the first time following timothy or

FOrgets Dinner Time

Peter Casper plowed corn July 4th.
Peter became so absorbed in his work
that he forgot to stop for dinner and
kept right on until $50 p. M. Mrs.
Casper called up one of the neigh
bors at two o'clock and asked them
if they had seen anything of Peter.
The neighbor said he would go out
and inquire, so he did, and came back
and said that Pete was still blowing
as contentedly as could be. Now this
was all right; there was no need of
stopping for dinner and losing per-
haps two hours, and Pete no doubt
plowed a lot of corn in that time and
the team will live through this ordeal
and never know the difference in a
day or two.
