In response to the
Herald regarding the
black worms which
some crops, t ounty
Neuswnnger mode
statement:
Sugar-Beet Web Worm.
During the past week several far
mers have reported the presence of
small, greenish black worms or cater
pillars in various crops which in some
cases are causing considerable dam
age. The worms have first been
found on lamb's quarters, Russian
thiRtle and pigweed, attacking them
in the order named.
"The insect imiuestlon, is the sugar-beet
WebWOrn and Is capable ot
becoming very destructive when the
conditions are favorable for its de
velopment. These worms winter as
larvae and produce rue moths or
millers of the Urol generation, which
have been present by the thousand
this spring. The millers seek out
such weeds as lamb's quarter, RU4
slan thistle and pigweed on whicn
they deposit their eggs.
"From these eggs are Hatched the
WortM which arc attacking the crops
at the present time. Feeding near the
ground at first they are almont In
variably overlooked by the farmer
until serious damage has been done
The worm usually consumes all or tn
food near the place it was hatched,
and later they mass together and
crawl away In search of food, resem
bling the army worm in this respect.
This first brood of worms will mature
during the present month and give
rise to a second brood of moths in
July.
"The moths of the second brood
will lay their eggs largely in fields of
alfalfa, and corn especially where the
lamb's quarter. Russian thistle nnfl
pigweeds were cleaned out by the
first brood. This second brood of
worms is capable of doing much
damage. They were very destructive
to the sugar beet fields of western
Nebraska in 1804 and 1911. A third
brood may appear in August, work
ing on the same crops miring ma?
month and the fore part of Septem
ber. "At the present time the worms
are attacking practically all crops,
but showing a preference for such
weeds as lamb's quarter. Russian
thistle and pigweeds, and later turn

ho corn, in anuition to most vege

Washington, D. C. Appreciating
the important role the potato has
played as a substitute for wheat dur
ing the past year, representatives of
the Cnited States food administration
will start next week on a circle tour
of the northwest to make a survey of
growing conditions and the situation
in general as it affects growers, deal
ers and distributers.
The old potato crop is practically
oft the market, due largely o the suc
cessful drive made by the foot! ad
ministration last spring to Increase
consumption. On April 9 fewer po
tatoes were being eaten than any
time since January 18, according (t
reports of shipments published by the
bureau of markets of the United
States department of agriculture. In
January 300 cars were being sold
daily throughout the whole country.
With the tightening of the wheat
shortage a drive to popularize the po
tato was begun In April by the food
administration. By April 30 the tu
bers were being marketed at the rate
of 54 2 cars a day, which jumped to
552 cars daily for the week ending
June 8. The housewives of the coun
try had taken hold by cutting down
on bivad and serving potatoes in the
101 tasty ways taught them by r.he
food administration, 'vne result was
a clean up in the market, a stimula
tive profit to growers and handlers
and the utilization of perishable food
that might have spoiled if neglected,
it is pointed out by officials.
To take one city as an example, in
Providence, R. I., 50,000 families
were eating only 106,000 pounds of
potatoes daily in January, or only a
bit more than two pounds a day for
eaeb family. By April these Rhoda
Islanders had gone to 188,000
pounds daily, or close to four pounds
per family. The average for the first
half of May was nearly five and a half
pounds a day.
By its system of careful grading
the food administration feels that it
has done much to standardize po
tatoes and to prevent waste.

there were no borates at all round.
"The chemical witnesses for tie

quantity, or that washincs from
tarred roads micht have caused the
injury (they produced, however, no
evidence on these points, and indeed,
had not even tested for their pres

worn out by excessive sewage treat

establish that it was only the borates
that were soluble in water and could
be removed at any time by washing
with water that could do any narm to

the soluble borates, and thus wore

forward the results of experiments
conducted by him at the Woburn ex

boron compounds on plant life in a
soil proved actually destructive of the
growth of wheat or barley, while
amounts of one-tenth that quantity
(0.0043 per cent of borax) showed a
retarding influence.
"These witnesses combated (he
methods employed by the chemists
for the defense in estimating the
amounts of possible Injurious boron
compounds, and their statements that
the borax would be washed out of the
soil and could not be retained by it,
nor were capable, when in the lorm
