iBEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, MAY 30, l'JlS. I : ' : A FIFTY MILLION- IS STATE'S TOTAL IN LIBERTY LOAN Complete Returns Received in Omaha Show Nebraska Close to Top of Nation's Honor Roll Nebraska's total subscription to the third Liberty loan was $50,513,450, ac cording to complete returns just finished by State Chairman T. C. Byrne. "This was an oversubscription of 58 per cent, as the state's quota was only $31,942,800," said Mr. Byrne. "This is a splendid record and puts Nebraska close to the top in the honor roll of state subscriptions to the third Liberty loan." The figures further disclose the fact that 244,484 people in the state bought third Liberty bonds. As the population of 'Nebraska is estimated it 1,277,750, this means that about one person in every eight bought a third Liberty bond. So the commit tee's aim to "put a bond in every home" has apparently been achieved. The per capita, subscription to this loan was $39.54 in Nebraska. The Chamber of Commerce bureau of publicity has compiled a compila tion of figures on Omaha's and Ne braska's responses to the three Lib erty loans so far floated. These figures show that the state subscribed to $102,866,350 of the three loans. Its total quota on the three was only $79,582,800. It, therefore, oversubscribed its quota by 28 per cent. On the first loan it oversub scribed by only 6 per cent, on the second by 12 per cent and on the third by 58 per -cent. This increasing ratio, those in charge of the campaign say, is due to the fact that the people are being educated to the value of government bonds, their safety, etc. Omaha's Great Record. Omaha has' the proud record of having subscribed to more than dou ble its quota on each of the three bond issiKs. Its total quota for the three issues was $12,814,800. It bought $31,395,500 of the combined issies of Liberty bonds. , Its 6versubscription is 145 per cent:. Omaha w'll rank either first or second among the cities of the 10th federal reserve dis trict and will stand very close to the very top among cities of its own class in the nation. The per capita holdings of the issues of bonds in Omaha are figured at $156.97. The per capital holdings of the three issues of the bonds in the 4whoIe state are $85.14. , Here are the state and city figures on the three Liberty bond issues: Nebraska. Over s'tlon. Quota.

CUT WORMS PLAYING f HAVOC WITH CORN Fields in Douglas, Sarpy and Other Counties Damaged, While Potato Bugs Are Getting Busy. Cut worms and potato bugs are pro-German agents and must he erad icated. They are destroying the food we need. Corn fields in Douglas, Sarpy and other surrounding counties are suf fering from the attacks of the cut worms. In cool weather they work under the ground, rut the stalk off a few inches beneath the surface of the earth and kill the plant; in dry weather they come to the surface of the ground and cut the stalk off just above the earth. In that case it usu ally grows again. When the weather is real hot the sun helps by killing the worms. The Omaha Welfare board is help ing patriots win the war against these pro-German pests. They advocate the following method for killing-the cut worms: Make a poison bait by mixing one tablespoon of Paris green with a quart of bran mash soaked with sweetened water. Scatter on the ground near the plants. I he disadvantage of this method is that chickens and birds will also eat the poisoned bait. Potato bugs are best eradicated bv the application of poisoned liquid to the plants. One pound of lead arsen ate mixed with 16 gallons of water will spray all of the potatoes on an ordinary city lot. fans green spray is made bv mix ing a half pound of Paris green with 16 gallons of water and adding a half pound of lime. Agitate while using and apply two or three times a sea son, as it washes off easily.
