The Corn Ear Or Cotton Boll
Worm.
i This is the worm so frequent
ly found in the tips of ears ol
icorn and which later appears ir
the cotton bolls as the cottor
| boll worms.
CONTROL MEASURES: Fa!
breaking would Hbe one of the
\ most beneficial means for con
trolling this pest if it were car
ried out on a large scale. In or
der to have its best effect co-op
eration in a community would be
necessary. If everybody in a
community would find it possible
| to break all their corn and cotton
lands to a depth of about six
j inches each fall conditions would
be greatly improved. Since the
j moth is rather a good flier the
I effect of fall breaking on a farm
.would be greatly offset on ac
count of the lack of such a prac
tice on a neighboring farm. The
most reliable means of controll
ing this pest on both corn and
cotton is to bend all efforts to
getting an early crop- Corn
particularly should be planted as
early as possible- It should not
be planted so early, however,
| that there is danger of a setback.
[Plant good seed and plant varie
ties that do well and then do
'everything possible along the
lijie of cultivation to stimulate
;the plants to rapid growth. The
j object is of course to hurry the
! plants along so that they will
I mature before many of the
moths have developed. Late
i com suffers from the com ear
jworm because most of the field
,corn has hardened up and is no
I longer fit for food. Moreover
i more worms have developed and
more moths will appear with the
result that there will be a con
centrated attack of an increased
generation centered on the late
corn- Cotton suffers from the
attack of this pest at the time
that the field com hardens up
cause there is not enough of the
, tender corn left for the next
generation.
| \
The pest can be easier con
trolled on cotton than on corn.
The cotton can be poisoned with
arsenate of lead as recommended
for the cotton army worm.
Where the boll worm is a serious
pest this practice is a good one.
Aside from this one 'can plant
com as a trap. To about every
25 rows of cotton one can leave
a skip and later plant about 5
rows of corn. It should be plant
ed at a time so that it will come
inf A dill/ uiVinn f Un fi nlrl AAtm
dens up- Moths which are com
ing from the field corn will then
attack this corn in preference to
the cotton. This trap corn
should be cut and fed to stock
[before the worms attain a
growth of over 11-4 inch. Other
wise the worms will leave the
ears before they are fed only to
go into the ground and emerge
later as moths to deposit eggs
for a larger generation.

Carbajal, who although ex
pecting the disbanding of the

proposed, to mobilize the Consti

als will retire to Mexico City.

nxv/oi, pxviiiunciit Jet wyex s ill ;
Northwest Arkansas, has been
appointed by State Bank Com
missioner Davis as special depu

| of liquidating the Bank ofi
| Rogers, which closed its doors
! Thursday. Commissioner Davis, j
| Deputy Commissioner Covey and j
j Examiner Phillips are now in ;
i Rogers looking after the affairs ;
j of the defunct institution.
The Bank of Rogers was the
j depository for Benton county
funds, having made the highest
interest bid. It is reported that
about $42,000 of the county’s
funds are tied up in the bank,
but it is fully protected.
Sheriff F- B. Galbraith of Ben
iton county, made final settle
ment with the state Friday, pay
; ing in a balance of $56,000. He
reports that crops are in a
j splendid condition in that sec
tion of the state. There is
promise of a most abundant ap
,ple crop, and the trees are so
j heavily loaded in some sections
I that many of the young apples
are being knocked off- The grain
crops are also very fine.

Responsibility of Directors
j “It is inconceivable that these
wrongs should have gone or
, without interference if members
of the board of directors hac
! been true to the faith they owec
the stockholders_When these
directors were negligent and se
Irious losses resulted therefrom,
they were guilty of a grave dere
Uiction of duty and breach of
trust that wa^ morally wrong
and criminal in its fruits,
Directors should be made liable
to civil and criminal laws for the
manner in which they discharge
their trust.”
So wrote the interstate com
merce commission Monday in its
momentous decision in regard to
the extensive probe the commit
tee conducted into the New Ha
ven railroad.
The report, covering about
30,000 words, declared the man
agement of the road to be the
worst in history, and that the di
rectors of the road were “crimb
nally negligent. Along with the
report the findings of the board
pointing out in particular where
laws had been violated in three
states were sent to authorities
in those states, with the future
prospect that action would be ta
ken.
The New Haven management
has been rotten. Of that not on
ly the probers, but the general
public as well, are certain. But
committee, quoted above, ap
plies not only to the New Haven,
but to the corporations, banks
and similar business combina
ions the country over.
Those directors pleaded that
they were dominated by the late
J. P- Morgan. Yet the probers
hold that this was no excuse.—

Board To Finish Appointments.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 18.—Another
meeting of the State Board of
Election Commissioners will be
held Monday morning for the
purpose of making appointments
for Jefferson, Monroe, Bradley,
and Hempstead counties. It is
possible also that the appoint
ments in some of the other coun
ties, notably Poinsett, will be re
considered, as strong pressure is
being brought to bear upon the
members of the board.
In Monroe county, Senator
Harris has asked to be heard in
opposition to the recommenda
tions made by the committee.
Former Speaker R F. Milwee,
nominee lor snenrr, nas aireaay
been heard favoring the ap
pointment of the regulars- In
Jefferson county there is also a
contest on, and the members of
the board have not agreed among
themselves.
The board is holding up the
Hempstead county appointments
to enable the retiring board to
make recommendations, so that
the state board may not be ac
cused of favoritism in the coun
ty seat contest which is becom
ing very warm in the county
