Web WORMS MAKE
GRAND RUSH ON
SUGAR BEET FARMS
LYON. REDWOOD AND COTTON
WOOD FIELDS INFESTED WITH
DESTROYERS; EXPERT HELP
CALLED FROM UNIVERSITY.

A voracious army of sugar beet web
worms was reported eating its way
through several fields OF Lyon and
Redwood counties last week at the
rate of 80 rods day.
Clarence Nickel, agricultural ex-
tension entomologist of University
Farm was called from st. Paul to
superintend farm forces in EXTERN
mating the pest.
Reports from farmers stated that
the travelling army of green was
stripping weeds and devouring corn
in places up to the third and fourth
leaves.
The first reports came from farm
nine miles east of Marshall. Still an
other host was discovered shortly af-
terward on five farms in Redwood
county and worms were reported at
work on places in Cottonwood. Efforts
thus far to stop the advance have,
for the most part, proved unavailing.

GIVES SUGGESTIONS FOR
SUMMER CARE OF CATTLE

It is the most comfortable COW that
produces the most milk in summer,
states the LarroWe Institute Of AMI
NAL Economics. Instead of turning
his COWS into the field to swat flies
and loaf in the shade, the dairyman
will find that he can get more milk
from them by feeding them on grain
in the cool of the barn during the
heat of the day and then turning
them out at night to Craze.
Following are some hints to the
dairyman on the summer care OF his
cattle, as given by the Institute:
1. Cows need lots of water. Keep
it always available in a quantity
they want.
2. Provide shade during hot wea-
ther, preferably in your stable in
the heat Of the day.
8. Let your cows Craze at night
when it is cool, but be sure that they
can get water.
4. Screen your stable II you can,
to keep out flies.
5. Spray your COWS in summer
with good fly preventative.
6. Be sure they are free from lice
and other vermiA.
z. Remember, a COW must be
comfortable and well if she is to
produce milk up to her capacity.
Such care requires little effort but
it pays dividends.

Bullet Removed From the
Body of Ex-Service Man
Injured in October, 1918, But Sup
posed He Had Been Struck by
Piece of Shrapnel

Tuesday morning Joe. R. Pauly,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Pauly of
this city was relieved of a bullet
which he has carried since 1918. The
presence of the bullet was not known
to the young man until after the OPP
Grafton at the City Hospital Tuesday
morning.
For the past several years he had
considerable trouble with his right
arm, but did not know the cause of
the grievence.
Joe was with the American forces
over seas for eleven months and par
ticipated in three offensives. On Oc-
tober 8, 1918 he was in the St.
Quinten Sector, near Bellicourt, b.
haine, France, and that day received
two wounds, one in the leg from
shrapnel and another in the back. He
was taken to a hospital where his
wounds were dressed. The one on
the back received little attention as
it appeared to be only a "crease. !"
Three months later he was released
from the hospital and was returned
to the United States where he was
discharged. '-.. ..--.
This "souyineer" that Joe secretly
brought home is evidently sniper's
ball., and he received it while prone
on the ground. 1t passed through his
KNAPP sack, entered on the left side,
passed between the skin and spine and
under the right shoulder blade and
lodged under the right arm.
