ARMY WORMS DAMAGE CROPS

Prof. J. J. Davis Warns Farmers to Take Preventive Measures : ' Now

In order to prevent serioug damage to small grain and corn, Indiapa's farmers are urged by Prof. J. J. Dayis head of the entomology department of Purdue university, to take immediate steps to combat army worras. Appearing in great numberg on the southermost borders of the state, the worms have spread as far north as Rensselaer and are expected to ipvade the northernmost parts of the state within the fext week to ten days, Professor Davis says. Heavy infestations of the voracious bests have been reported generally from the entire southern half of the state, and Prof, Davis expects a contin uation of the outbreak perhaps in the northern end of Indiana. The worms migrating jn army formation have been taking their most serious toll in oats, wheat and corn fields, and in some cases, where the proper control measures wete not adopted aaf

gor the appearance of the vaml have completely destroyed crops. . Fortunately according to Prof. DaMis, 1f detected early, the army worms. jmay be readily controled and damgze to crops prevented through the pse of poison bran bait. The bait can pb: prepared by thoroughly mixing one pound of Paris green, crude arsenic pr sodium arsenate with 26 pounds 'pr bran. Two quarts of cane or feed 'lng molasses is then diluteh with two }ulons of water, and the diluted mo.Bses is then mixed with the poisonel bran, ' /

~ The resultant mixture should be amp enough to mold in the hand, put not soppy. In preparing the mixure, thq bran used should be free Jrom shorts, and Davis advised gainst the use of lead of calcium ar'nate as the poison tlement as thay Eck the quick action of the recoinpended poisons. ~ In using the bait, Davis recommend 1 that the braan be strewn in the in rested areas at the rate of ten to welve pounds an acre. ; Kromwell Defendant in Dam";e Suit Among the cases to be heard durJg the present term of court is that i Ethel Sims of Fort Wayne against fie town of Cromwell for $lO,OOO famages.

Crops Show Uniiorm Improvement Uniform improvement was reported in all Indiana grain crops, pastures and tame hay, with the latest forecast on wheat being a yield of I_’)s bushelg per acre and a total production of 37,835,000 bushels as cowmpared with last year’s production of 30, 922,000 bushels according to the crop report of conditions as of Jupe 1, made by M. M. Justin, agricultural statistician of Purdue university in co-operation with the bureau off agricultural economics of the U, S. department of agriculture. Winter ,wheat condition was reported as 83 per cent -of normal three points above last month and seven points above the ten-year (1923-32) average, although the usual change is a four-point decline, . The improvement in condition was mnearly uniform in all districts of the state with the exception of the south central area, which wag puly slightly off. 2oe N uE Y

Rye condition reporttd as 86 is one point above last month's report and five points above the ten-year ave:age (1923-32), yield of 1256 bushels per acre js forecast and a total production .of 2,338,000 bushels. Oais were reported to be 78 per cent norimal, five points a.hpv?last year. Wet weather during April and early May lhindered oats seeding, especially in 'the north central and northeastern districts, according to Justin. BarleY .condmon wag estimated to be 83 per 'cent of normal, mine points hjgher than a year ago. ~ Tame hay condition of 76 {s an improvements of 11 points since May 1, as the average change is a decline of four points. Favorable weather for the grass hays has overcome some what the deficiency of clover stauds resulting from last year’s dry weather and §he heaving of both clover and alfalfa last winter, Favorable weather since last summer has done much to improve pastures. Pasiure condition was reported to be 87 per cent of normal, 14 points above last month and 7 points above the average

Apple trees bloomed well and a good set of fruit was reported, with its. condition being 78 per cept of mor mal as compared with the ten-year average (1923-32) of 61, which indica}te’s the hopeful outlook for the crop Justin gave the peach crop ag being 69 per cent of normal, 23 per cent above the average. A production of 368,000 bushels of peaches ig estimated, while last year's estimatg was 10;000 bushels. Good crops of pears and cherries are also reported. . There was no great change in the number of cows being milked, the pumber of hens and pullets of laying age being kept, nor in the phhduchion of the cows and hens as compared ;wi:th the figures given by the ferm Feporters a year ago. : 1

heriffy Allowed From 15 to 20 Cents Meal, Based On VYolume

Food allowances for prisoners in onnty.’d.ll were fixed by William P. osgrove, chief examiner of the state oard of accounts,

" The allowance schedule, which beomes effective July 1, was fixed afer a comparative investigation of food sts for four years, - Mr. Cosgrove s authorized to fix the allowance a law passed by the 1935 legisla-~ re. The allowance is for not more than ree meals a day -and is exclusive of »deral prisoners. The new allowjace represents a 2.5 to 3 per cent Icrease over last year,

* In counties with less than 200,000 population, the sheriff is allowed 20 :;m a meal for 1,240 to 1,860 meals, 5 cents for 1,860 to 2,480 meals, 16 p:nts for 2,480 to 3,100 meals, and 3,00or more meals, 15 cents, _ Sheriffs in counties with more than 00,000 and not more than 300,000 sopulation are allowed 13.6 cents a

b al, and in counties of more than 00,000 population, 125 cents a meal. Y Mr. Cosgrove met with represntaiveg of the sheriffs’ association, who id they were satisfied that the new 'lowance was the best that could be htained under the law.

“ As an example of increasad prices, Ir. Cosgrove pointed out that the rice of potatoes a bushel had inreased from 50cents to $1.40 since 934, -

In counties having a populatioy. of ess than 200,00 the total allowance or 800 meals a month would be $160: 500 meals, $297.40; 2500 meals, 47950 and 4,600 meals $791.

There are enough motor vehicles or everyone in the United States to ake a ride at the same time, accordng to registration figures compiled by ke U. 8. hureau of public roads. Registrations during 1936 reached n all-time high of 28,221,291, of hich 24,197,686 were passenger vejcles and 4,023,606 trucks and tracor trucks. There figures have been ~creasing at approximately 150,000 a .onth this year.

The buregu said registration in 1936 ncreased nearly 2,000,000 over 1935 nd surpassed the former all-time igh of 1930 by 1,700,000 vehicles. Toal registrations are expected to reach “e 30,000,000 mark some time next ear

Some idea of the number of automofles and trucks csn be gained by asuming that a highway wide eaough o acgmmddate all could be bhuilt rom New York to Los Angeles. It ould take a 37-lanewhighway with

n automobile for each 20 feet, Every state showed an increase in egistration over the previous year egistrations in 16 states increased 10re than 10 per cent over 1535 figres. The average increase for the ntire United States was 7.8 pe: cent. (Registration receipts amounted to 369,783,000 Trucks and tractor 'u!s composed less than 15 per cent f the registrations but accounted for early 24 per cent of the receipts.

New York state led both in the num er of vehicles, 2,459,642 and in reeipts, $46,291,000. ?@lltornh had alost as many vehicles, 2,327,984 but eceipts were only $21,087,000 Iless han half those of New York. Pennsylvania with 1,913,118 vehiles was second in recelpts with $35,31,000. Ohio was sourth ' with reeipts of $23,356,000 from 1,777,048 egistrations, and Michigan had an in-~ ome of $19,737,000 from 1,372,676 veicles. . :

Illinois followed closely with reeipts of $19,410,000 from 1,659,750 egistrations. Texas wag the only othr state with more than 1,000,000 moor yehicles deriving revenue of $l725,000 from 1,478,124 registrations.

isregard of Signs Cause Aceldents Failure to observe the caution and arning signs placed along the state ighways for the protection of motorts, is a frequent cause of accidents, Ear] Crawford, chairman of the state ighway commission, pointed out afer studying a report from the bureau

traffic. : A recent survey by the bureau hich wgs establighed several weeks g 0 to study traffic problems on the tate highway system and promote reater motoring safety, has shown hat at ong. intersection whe“e there ave been several aaccidents and death ess than halfqof the drivers came 0. a complete stop before en.ering the utersection. More than 50 per cent of he drivers disregarded or only parti--Ily obeyed the “Stop” sign placed : gxe distance back from the .intertion. . Some of the drivers who did not ring their vehicleg to a full stop, enered the intersection at low speeds nd could have stopped in case of an _mergency bat 10 percent of the traf- .'¢ .entered the intersection with no egard for the stop sign and at too

st a speed to have stopped in apy mergency. It is thig.class of drivers Asregarding caution-and stop signs long the highways; that. i 8 responsile for a majority of the accidents eported almost daily, the hureay of raffic survey discloses. B _ Accidents occur most fequently at -laces on the highways where the anger is not readily apparent and it at such places that the caution and g signs erected by the highway ommissioy are magt valuable., There _re; comparatively few accidents At .oints where the danger is obvious to he driver without the presence of
