"You fellows did not lose anything," declared the chief victim. He was after my roll. He has followed me from' Wichita, Kan. This is the third time he has tried to get it, once in St. once in Sioux City and this time." His statement was borne out by the fact that the stick-up made no attempt to go through his pockets, but, at once cut the suspenders from theOveralls.

U') Hudson. S. Aug.

in the northern section of Union county and southern portion of Lincoln county are the first to report the appearance of the army crop pest which for many years had not appeared in South Dakota. The worms first attacked oat fields, to some of which they did extensive damage. The worms cut the oats off and the kernels drop to the ground. On the Swanson farm, near Alcester, the owner burned a 20-acre oat field in which the worms were working, believing that by doing this he could destroy them. But many of them must have escaped, for they have since attacked corn on the Swanson place.

On the farm of Frank Cable, near Hudson, the worms started leaving an oat field to go into the corn, and Cable promptly started to plow around the oat stubble. When the plow made the second round the first furrow was filled with the worms, on their way to an adjacent corn field. After plowing a wide strip around the oat field Cable burned the oat stubble and, in this way, believes he haa annihilated practically all of the worms and anticipates no more trouble with them on his farm. On the farm of W. J.

Bulow, near Beresford, the army worms attacked a 12-acre field of rye and badly damaged it. Army worms resemble cut worms and travel in armies and, when a field is attacked, it usually is the case that it is destroyed and the worms move on to the next field. In the south the farmers who are each season bothered by army worms, protect their crops by plowing a deep furrow around the field with the straight side toward the field to be protected. It Is claimed the worms will crawl into the furrow, but will not crawl up the straight side to get out and are destroyed by the millions by dragging a log along the furrow. Pioneer farmers of Union and Lincoln counties report that this is the first time the army worm has appeared in southeastern South Dakota during a period of 30 years.
