Special consideration is being given the corn show, in view of its rapid growth the last few years. A full attendance of members and others interested is desired. Fertilizer Prices Should Be Lower This Fall The department of agriculture has announced that it has reached an agreement with the manufacturers of mixed fertilizers whereby these goods should sell next fall for about 30% less than the prices of last spring. A schedule has been issued showing the maximum f. o. b. prices' at which the principal fertilizer grades at the three great centers of fertilizer distribution, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Carteret, N. J.,* to dealers and to farmers ordering 30-ton lots may be obtained. The matter of supply and prices of unmixed fertilizer material available to farmers for direct application to soil or for home mixing is still under investigation by the department and an announcement of the agreements is expected soon.

Army Worm History On account of the widespread interest in the army worm at this time, the following brief description of the life history of this insect is published: The army worm belongs to a large family of insects known as the noctuidae, or night flyers. Grass lands being its natural home, it is present to a limited extent every year. The mature insects are dull brown moths, having a peculiar white spote on the center of each front wing. The body of the adult moth is about threefourths of an inch in length. The eggs, which are usually laid on the terminal leaf sheath on grasses and grains are small, globular and white. The eggs are deposited, in straw stack bottoms, hay ricks, old corn shocks, -and even two-year-old corn stalks lying on the ground in the meadow. A single female lays from 50 0 to 700 eggs, wmen accounts for the rapid increase of the worms under favorable conditions. The eggs hatch in eight or ten days. After feeding on anything of succulence, the larva is grown in 25 or 30 days, attaining a length of one and one-half or two inches. When young they travel like a measuring worm, are dark, naked caterpillars with longitudinal stripes running the full length of the body. A very marked broad stripe on each side is characteristic. The pupa stage, which lasts about two weeks, is passed on rubbish on the ground. The adult emerges and begins to lay eggs again in 6 or 8 days. There are usually three broods during the season. _ The combination of trenches and bran poison are proving entirely successful in handling these dangerous pests. I Check Up the Oats Smut This Week Now is the time to check up on the results of the use of the formaldehyde treatment on the oats to determine whether or not it was profitable in preventing smut. By stooping down in the fields of grain, one may get a fair idea of, the degree of infestation. As usual, I treated fields are showing much ! less smut than those which have been left untreated and it seems but| a matter of time before smut pre-, vention will be a common farm operation.

Farmers Issue a Paper The first number of the Organ-: ized Farmer, the official publication of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ association, has made its appearance. The number is a example of what Indiana farmers can do in the field of literature as well as a faithful record of the aims and accomplishments of the state federation.

By the Agreement of December 2, 1899, among the United States, Great Britain and Germany, the Samoan islands were divided between the United States and Germany, Great Britain retiring and accepting compensation for her retirement in -the form of colonial concessions elsewhere in the world. This agreement ended a long series of outbreaks and disorder in the islands amounting to a state of civil war, due, It was charged at the time, to the intrigue and aggression of the Germans. A large factory for the manufacture of underwear is to be established in Manila by Filipino and Spanish capitalists. The organizers plan to obtain the necessary machinery in Spain and the yarn used in the making of the goods is to be bought in the United States.

politics, were others arrested. , f . The deeda of the white cappers of old, the Klu Klux Klan and the night riders were not more startling than those charged to the men arrested during the day. I As the warrants were served the defendants all gave bonds'and will be arraigned at the fall term of the circuit court. The action of the grand jury had 'been Hinted at for some time and it was known that an investigation was in progress, but it was not known that such prominent men were involved. There was great surprise throughout the county when the names of the men were made public. The scene of the attack was in Jackson and Monroe townships, where a number of the old Order of Dunkards reside. Repeatedly they were solicited to buy bonds,, but consistently they refused. They argued that they were opposed to war and would not buy bonds to support war. < Then, one night, something happened. A long line of automobiles drew up in front of the home of Daniel Miller at the midnight hour. The automobile lights were darkened and there was no honking of horns. The cold March wind was whipping across the prairie. Miller was summoned from bed, taken out of doors in his night clothing and threatened with various kinds of violence unless he purchased SI,OOO worth of bonds. When he refusedr the visitors, said to have numbered about twenty, started to wreck his home. Five windows were broken and the house was painted red and yellow. All of the men in the party were armed and all wore masks. They fired revolvers into the air as they worked, and the reports could be heard for miles. , Miller’s dog began to bark, and one of the party shot the animal. Miller was then informed that he would have a few days in which to buy bonds, and that unless he did so the visitors would come back and take him to the creek. The next ’day Miller made a purchase of bonds. . _ The home of Charles Flora was visited next. The porch and house . were painted red and yellow and three windows were broken out. I Flora was compelled to buy SSOO worth of bonds. Henry Wise refused to buy SSOO worth of bonds and his home was painted red and .yellow. The next day he bought the bonds. The home of Daniel Musselman also was painted by the night riders, but it was said that Musselman did not buy any bonds. The mbst sensational work of the night riders was at the home of the Rev. Henry Leedy, a Dunkara preacher. He was taken from his bed in the early hours of the morn-
