OPEN DAY AND NIGHT!
The board of county commission
ers at their session this week de
cided to submit to the voters of the
county the preposition of whether
or not the court house should be
placed in shape where it will be able
to withstand the effects of the
weather and that the amount that
will be needed for this purpose can
be .secured.
The matter of repairing the
court house has been thoroughly
discussed with expert architects and
the amount necessary to place it in
first class shape has been estimated
at $10,000 and for which amount
the voters will be asked to give their
approval. t
The general expression of the lev
el headed residents from all sections
of the county has been that the
building should be repaired while the
cost would not be as excessive as if
it i allowed to continually run down
as it has in the years gone by.
The building is one that is a credit
to any county in the state and
while its original cost was $80,000,
at the present time it would require
at least $250,000 to reproduce the
building in anything like the present
structure. It is a strictly business
proposition in repairing the build
ing as it means the ultimate saving
to the people of at least a quarter
of a million dollars that must come
if the present building is allowed
to go to rack and ruin.
The matter will be submitted at
the constitutional amendment elec
tion on September 21st and as a
measure of economy on the part of
the taxpayers should receive their
earnest and thoughtful action in its
favor as it means the preservation of
the structure which has been built
by the county to house its county
government.
COX A BIG CANDIDATE, I Al C A I CA UCP Uf ODM
riLi riLi n iii-u iiukini
HITCHCOCK LIKES CHOICE '
Washington, D. C, July 6. Sen
ator Hitchcock gave out the follow
ing statement " today.
"The nomination of Governor Cox
been made. It insures a vigorous
campaign and it promises a probable
vietorv. Of all the candidates be
fore the convention he was strongest
in the doubtful states. Whiles loyal
iu his support of President Wilson's
administration, he inherits none of
the enmities and antagonisms which
inevitably attach to candidates in
any way connected with the admin
istration. "I served with Governor Cox in
the house of representatives for sev
eral terms, have known him for
nearly twenty years, and believe him
to be a man of high integrity, tre
mendous energy and unusual ability.
He possesses the faculty of making
friends and holding them. His re
markable success during the three
campaigns in Ohio gives some indi
cation of what he is likely to do as
candidate for president. He is a
progressive, forward looking demo
crat, liberal and broad minded. He
has demonstrated to the people of
Ohio that he is a fine executive."

'.he webworm, which ha been
causing damage to Colorado crops,
has been reported to be injuring
the Nebraska corn crop in fcur coun
ties, according to Prof. M. 11. Swenk,
state entomologist. Its appearance
was first " reported in Sarpy county
June 28. Immediately thereafter
reports of its damage came from
Butler, Seward and Lancaster coun
ties. The worst damage so far reported
is near Ulysses in Butler county.
One farmer found an entire field
heavily infested with the worms.
The injury seemed so bad to him that
he decided to plow up the corn. Pro
fessor Swenk advised against this
on the ground that the damage
might not be .as great as it seems.
Some damage has been reported in
Lancaster county, about ten miles
northwest of Lincoln.
Professor Swenk does not look for
extensive injury to the Nebraska
corn crop. It is too far along. The
attack of the webworm is a warn
ing, however, he believes, of what
may happen later in the season.
This is the first time that the first
brood of webworm has caused any
damage in Nebraska. It is the third
brood that usually works the largest
injury in this staet. This brood
comes in September and attacks the
alfalfa.
Webworms eat the corn leaves and
then spin a web over the injured
parts.
Reports of serious damage to cab
bage by a pest known as the Harle
quin cabbage bug also have been re
ceived by the state entomologist.
This is a new pest in Nebraska, and
from the progress which it has made
this year it may do extensive injury
to cabbage and other vegetables in
years to come.
Between June IS and June 30 the
state entomologist received reports
of inquiry by this bug in Dundy,
Hooker, Frontier, Custer and Valley
counties. One man reported fears of
losing his entire crop of 11,000
plants. The bug infested several
areas in eastern Colorado last year
and at that time crossed the line to
the town of Sanborn, Dundy county,
where it destroyed fifteen acres of
cabbage for on grower. No other
reports of its presence in this state
last year were received. This year,
however, it has invaded the state
proper, moving rapidly in a north
easterly direction and it is now
present in at least five counties.
The bug works rapidly, sucking
the sap out of the plants. Once it
has entered a cabbage patch little
can 1)0 done to save the plants. A
10 per cent kerosene emulsion will
j destroy the very young bugs but
nothing has yet been found that will
kill the adult bugs.
The United States department of
agriculture, which has been study
ing the pest in the southern states,
where it has done extensive damage
for years advocates cultural methods
of fighting the pest. Cabbage stalks
and other remnants of the crop, to
gether with all weeds and rubbage
in the vicinity of the infested patch,
should be burned in order to pre
vent the bugs going through the win
ter. Trap crops, such as mustard,
rape and other earlj- vegetation,
have been used with some .success.
The Harlequin cabbage has been
until recent years a southern pest
only. It spread,' however, eastward
along the Atlantic ccst, doing great
injury to cabbage and other garden
crops, and extended its operations
north and west, entering Kansas and
Colorado a few years ago. From
Colorado it crossed the line into this
state.
