sons farm on the National Pike
between West Jefferson and La
fayette, caused damage to a silo
and contents of hay, estimated at
approximately $1,000.
The fire, according to firemen
who answered the call at 2:3O
o'clock Monday morning and re-
manned on the job until 7:30, is
thought to have been caused by a
spark from the gasoline engine
driven motor that got into the air
duct and set fire to the chopped
hay in the silo that was being
dried by a blower.
Firemen, according to. report
were called back again on Monday
afternoon. By their efforts they
saved the cattle barn attached to

Small Wasps May
Kill Worms Soon

Army Worms, coming into Mad
ison county from the southeast, are
causing considerable damage to
crops, especially corn, and farmers
in the infested areas are waging
all-out war on the pests.
Agriculture experts named sew
eral means of combating the
worms which feed on young corn
and other crops. A small wasp
which is expected to hatch soon is
expected to stem the tide but many
farmers are using insecticide
sprays to kill the worms at the
present time.
Many white clusters of parasitic
cocoons are being found on the
ground. These will hatch into small
wasps which is an enemy to the
Army worm, Moore said. The min
nature wasp, plus the Tachina fly
will prevent army worm damage
after the next 10 days or 2 weeks,
since they will be in abundance by
that time and will kill the Army
worms.
1T is important the next 10 DAYS
to 2 weeks to make daily check
on your corn, wheat and oat fields
for army worm damage. If YOU
notice them in your hay fields, it
is recommended to cut your hay
and spray the aftermath growth.
especially if you have a corn field
nearby. Also spray the fence rows
with toxaphene spray, 8 pints of
500 solution in the amount of
water your spray puts on per acre.

members voted to sustain the
Presidents request but the major
ity voted to ask the Congress for
