If i ; . , ttmftfc H . Official OrgaiVdf the Republican Party, in Knox County: .. r New Series: Vol. 2. No. 2. BARBOURVILLE, KENTUCKY, FRIDAY, OCT., il, 1912 Vol. IX. No. '35 i. 0be Tlonnfai Vs ft 2 '1 :- i4-- J.r Rv e t Powers Opponent Has Lost His Head Mr. H. U. Seavy, tlio Bull Moose or Progressive candidate for congress, need this language in a speech at Williamsburg the other day: " "Caleb Powors has recently emercrod from Drison and is now urging the voters of the district to sbaro with him the odium of the past. Electing a man to Con gress does not make a man guilt less of a foul crime." Shame on you, II. II. Seavy, for uttering and re iterating tho Goebolite lies of the past. If you hope to capture 'Qoebelito votes by reiterating Goobolitn lies you will fall far short of the mark. Caleb Powers' Democrat ic opponent, Ben V. Smith, years ago took the position that Powers was a guilty assassin and that tho Kepublican party was a well-wisher to the dastardly deed and that it too, along witli Caleb Powers, ought to be doom ed ond damned. Mr. Seavy, youare too recent a convert to tliat doctrine to get very many Democratic votes. You need not expect them. It is true that you have never been for Powers. You said to Mat thew Mitchell, a traveling sales man who Uvea at Barbourvillc, Ky., that you had always been aguinst Powers and that you never was for him. Of course that ought to help you some with the Qoebelite vote, but eveiy true Republican in the district might to and will vote against you. You charge that Culeb Powers is asking the voters of the dis trict to share with him the od ium of the past; that he recently emerged from jail. Was it any disgrace for our Ilevolutionaiy ancestors, fighting for Independ ence, to be overpowered by su perior numbers and thrown in jail? Was it any disgrace for the Federal veterans in the late war to be incarcerated in Anderson ville and Sibley prison? Is there any odium attached to their names because in lighting to save the Union they were overpower ed and imprisoned by men fight ing to destroy it? Caleb Powers fought in as holy a war and as noble a cause as any of the ancestors of tho past. The Goebolites of the State tried and did rob us of our liberty and deprived us of our sacred and inborn rights to cast our votes for the candidates of our choice and have their vote counted as cast. In the election of '09 the Goebelites threw out and refused to count the entire vote of the city of Louisville and Jefferson county and the entire Republican vote of tho county of ''I 'Johnson and tho county of Mar- "tin. Galub Powers fought the robbery with all the strength oi his young manhood and with all . the" vigor of his impetuous -o il. Later when some crank had lul led William Goobel and the Goo belitea of the St a to sought to de stroy the Republican party in the Commonwealth becaiiho of thut crime, Caleb Powers endured eight long years ot infamous in carceration and fuced death itself without a tremor to the end that the Republican party that had honored him should not be destroyed, and stigmatized as ' a party of assassination. Mr. Seavy, is thoro any odium in that? Is thcre-any disgrucv in thut? The Republican puit of' this district stood back of PoVers like a stone wall. in tint 1 awful fight. Ih there any odiu 1. hU disgrace attaching to thein fight? Mr. Seavy, you talk like a Goebolite. You conduct your self like a mad man. Tho Re publicans of this district will bury yon undor mountains of ballots. You cannot abuse Caleb Powers for tho fight ho made and slander us for stand ing by him in that struggle and thou expect our support. Who arc you, and whero have you boon, and what havo you boon doing that the Republicans of this district should take you up and send you to Congress and de feat and repudiate nno of our own mountain boys who has been tried in tho fiery furnace and found to be 21 carats fine? You are not a uativo mountain man. You are foreign to our soil. You have never helped us fight any of tho battles of the past. You confess that you came to Ken tucky 20 years ago, and coAfess further that you never even at tended a political meeting in all that time until you became a candidate. You are posing as the laboring man's friend and as the people's candidate and yet for the last 20 years you have been connected with the L. A: N. Railroad Company, one of 'the huge corporations of the laud, while Caleb Powers for the last 20 years has been battling for the people's rights. The people will not forget those things on Nov ember o. Caleb Powers will car ry 11 out of the 15 counties in this district over both Seavy and Smith. Gentlemen, you have tried to jointly make this race against and defeat Caleb Pow ers. You had aR well got ready to jointly take a trip up Salt River. Your baby is named. Just call Ii i 111 him Dennis. Atlvt.

A2.1W r Taft Helped the 9 Little Business WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-Just why the business rann nnd wage earner should vote to support the Taft administration will be shown by the President in a statement he has written for the, October issue of American Industries. Mr. Taft says in part:- "I have every confidence that I will receive the support of the great army of business men in this county and of that large porton of-labor which is employed by these compar atively smaller concerns and indus tries. "My policy has been perfectly consistent and undevinting. I have maintained, and the Supreme Court tins upheld my contention, that combinations effected .with the pur pose of acquiring n monoply were illegal. And when the Department of Justice has nrquircd evidence of such an intent I have instructed it to bring suit and if the evidence warranted to institute criminal proceedings. "The aggregate capital of the comparatively smaller business men producers nnd manufactures will far exceed that of the so-called trusts, or those who may be tempt ed to form trusts, and the employ ees of the former will far exceed those of the latter. And these smaller business men nnd their em ployees represent the hone nnd sin ew of the industry of the United States To them I look for support in the coming election, because I have served them faithfully and have safe-guarded their interests against those who, actuated solely by selfishness, would have injured them." AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION The Army Worm It is not generally known that there are two army worms in Ken tucky, looking somewhat alike in the caterpillar or worm stage and doing similar mischief, the one dur ing the Spring, the other during the fall months. In well grown examples of the Fall Army worm the head is largely black, with a sharply defined white inverted Y-shaped mark on the front. Young examples of thi worm are more like those of the common army worm, the sides, of the head being netted, but the in verted white Y is evident and to gether with the broadness and sharpness of a black stripe along the lower part of each side will serve for their recognition. A fea ture of the habits of thi lall army worm is also characteristic. Unlike the common army worm it does not travel persistency in some one direction, but spreads outward in all directions from the spot on which the eces are placed. The adult moth placing these eggs mens ures only one nnd a quarter inch (1.2o inch) expanse of wings, ns against one and three quarters (1.75 inch) for the spring army worm moth. Its colors are pnle brown, the front wings with nn obscure whitish dash on the middle and another at the tip. The hind wings are white, with a fine irides cence and a narrow dusky edging. A variasiott of the moth, quite com mon in Kentucky, has nearly uni form dusky brown Iron wings. The Fall Army Worm has done mischief this season in Madison, Woodford, llullitt, Carrol and doubtless other counties in the State, Hungarian millet, rye, nnd alfalfa have mincred most, in some cases several ncre being largely eaten up by the woruiH iu u lew duys. The first brood npi eared about August 0 nd by the 21st , bnd gone into the soil for pupation, , emerging ns moths about eight days later. September 18 worms repre senting n second brood were re ceived Irom Woodford County, where they were' destroying alfalfa. September 20 worms of the jarae brood were received from both Car roll and Madison Counties, where they were working on rye nnd nlfal 'fa. These worms are now three fourths grown and will in a few days go into the soil for a period, to emerge later as adult moths. From what is known of the history of the insect, it is evident that n third brood will appear this fall, (in October). This insect is believed to come from the South during the summer, and to be destroyed- by the severe northern winters. The suddenness of its appearance in large numbers nnd the rnpidty' with which it de stroyed fields of alfalfa and rye in which it became established, found farmers completely unprepared to deal with it. Yet it is not entirely beyond control by those who know its habits. Where one of the early broods has matured and gone into the soil for pupation it is almost completely at tne mercy of the farm er it he can plow up the land nt once and thus break up the cells in which the helpless insect lies and expose it to birds, poultry and other enemies Whether it is advisable or not, thus to dispose of a planting of rye or alfalla must be left to the judgement of the farmer himseh. Undoubtedly there are cases where this procedure is on all accounts ad visable. In any case poultry ond birds, and in some cases hogs, should be al lowed the freedom of the infested fields. In spite of our laws we are too much given to using our shot guns on blackbirds and crows when they appear on land. Both birds are especially adopted from habit to deal with the fall army worm. Spraying field crops is not a com mon practice in Kentucky. Out breaks of army worms always finds people unprepared to cope with the pests by the use of insecticides. To get satisfactory results one must go after the worms at once. No doubt t would be possible to dose a few acres of alfalla or rye with arsenate of lead (three pounds in fifty gal lons of water) so as to destroy the worms. Of course poultry and stock would have to he kept from the fiield lor a time afterward. One. or at most two. barrels of the mixture should dose an acie, depending upon the ranknes of the growth. The life-history of the insect is not complrtcly known and is being studied at the Station. Farmers whose crops are btiug injured, or have been injured by earlier broods, will confer a favor by writing of their experience to Professor H. Garmnn, care Kentucky Agricultur al Experiment Stntion, Lexington, Ky. Living exnmples ol the insects can be forwarded in small tin boxes with close-fitting covers, containing enough allalfa or other food to last a day or two. II.
