Insect Pests Persistent
in ONSLAUGHT on Grain

Even when grain has been harvest
ed, despite the onslaught of various
insect pests, the product is not free
from attack. In fact, some of the
most serious damage is done to grain
after it has been placed in storage,
for the insects which attack at that
time bore from within. The larvae
are inside the grain seed and their
presence is not disclosed until the
damage is done.
Any one of 46 species of insects
may damage stored grain. With the
exception of the aforementioned ma
jor pests-the rice weevil, the gran
airy weevil, the AngoumOis grain
moth and the lesser grain borer-all
stages of these insects feed principal
ly on the outside of the kernels
Their presence is readily detected
and they ca. be removed from the
grain by tanning and screening. They
do not usually attack grain that is
unbroken and in good condition, but
quickly follow after the attack of
one of the major pests and help com.
plete the work of destruction.

Insect Pests Carried
by Currents of Wind

In the belief that wind is an i'm
portant factor in the spread of in
sect pests. the Department of Agri-
culture is studying wind transporta-
ton Of insects.
An unexpectedly large number of
insects were found at high attitudes
when the department scientists
placed traps on the wings of air
planes. Many insects caught in the
traps were found to possess little or
no power of flight. The conclusion
was that such insects were trans
ported by air currents. Small bal
looms were also released with return
tags and brought information as to
the normal direction of air currents
from various districts in the South.
The results shed light on the migra-
ton of leaf-worm moths.

The Corpse That Came Back

Battery ID of the One Hundred and
Twenty-fourth artillery. Thirty-third
division. was moving up toward the
front by train from BesancOn. Dur
ing the night journey horse became
frightened, broke its halter rope and
proceeded to make things lively in
that car for all concerned. Private
McAllister tried to catch the horse,
whereupOn the wild-eyed animal
planted it's heels in Private McAlliS-
ter's chest, gave mighty push and
Private McAlister went sailing out
through the side door into the night.
1t was some time before the acct
dent was reported to the major who
stopped the train and sent kilograms
back, directing searching parties to
look for the corpse and give it proper
burial. Eighteen hours later Battery
b passed that way and saw the body
still lying along the track, whereat
there was much Indignation at the
negligence of the French who would
allow the body of an ally to lie un-
cared for.
But that night bedraggled soldier
appeared in Battery DIS camp, stag
gered up to Lieutenant Plantz and
saluted, "Sir, my names McAllster,'
he said, Il have the first sergeant's
permission to say that l didn't 20 A.

apOlogetic) I'm sorry about it but
couldn't help it. | sure tried to take
care of it, but didn't know the horse
was going to boot me. I'll sure pay
you for it, lieutenant" "Pay me for
what?" asked the puzzled officer.
"Why, you see, when that bl ,ody horse

Too Late to Save Them

90 Late I'D gave HCh
Armistice day is day of "elevens."
World war hostilities ceased on the
eleventh hour of the eleventh day of
the eleventh month of the year. To that
series may be added one more eleven
the story of the II American sol
diers for whom the Armistice came too
late.
On the afternoon of November II.
an afternoon that was crisp and dry
as if in mockery of the gloomy, wet
days of the last fighting, surviving
members of the Third battalion of the
One Hundred and Third infantry
gathered around an open grave on the
slopes of the Cote de Caures in the
Meuse-Argonne region. In it, shoulder
to shoulder as they had fought, lay the
bodies of II American soldiers COW
cred by an American flag.
The previous day their comrades OF
the One Hundred and Third had found
the bodies of the little group for whom
the Armistice came too late. Its COM
mander, Lieut.. Herbert Peart, was sit
ting beside tree, bullet through his
head. In one hand was pencil. In
the other was a piece of paper on
which was written Captain Cabot ::
7:10 a. m. Am held up by machine
gun fire on left. Have located four of
them. Also on my right" There the
message ended in a scrawl.
About him lay the bodies Of his ten
men. The roster of their names is
typical of the cosmopolitan makeup
of the A. E. F. They were the follow
ing: Corp. Leon leBonville, Privates
Charles Worth, Frank Klavikowski, J.
McGiven, John Elliott, f. r. Snow,
Albert o. Abraham, Charles w. Bar
gall, William Whitney and Moses w.
Neptune. They had died fighting to-
gether only few hours before the
Armistice was signed and few hours
after that event they were being buried
together in the same grave.
