Washington Dispatch, tth. More than $8,000,000 damage was done to crops in the South last month by the army worms, according to unofficial estimates of the Department of Agricul ture. Whether the season's second brood of the insects, already ap pearing in South Carolina, Ala bama, Georgia and other States, will increase this loss is of much concern to government experts. All the means at the depart ment's disposal are being used to meet the emergency. Reports of the department say the army worm, at some places half a foot deep on railroad tracks, has stopped trains. The loss is placed at $1,000,000 in Georgia while in Arkansas twenty per cent of the corn and 10 per cent of the cotton planted have been destroyed. Losses also have been great in Tennes see, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. In some of these, particularly in Louisiana, they exceed the mil lion mark. Cotton, corn, sugar cane and flee crops from Louisi ana to the Atlantic have been affected. Typhoid Fever Present - The House Fly Guilty. There are about twenty cases of typhoid fever in the county. The source of infection of many of these has been carefully inves tigated. Upon analysis the drinking water is found to be good, with few exceptions. The dairy products are not the source ot present infections, it seems that the house fly is guilty. A good per cent of the homes in which typhoid cases are. found are not screenea. in many in a stances the dishes, linen, and excretions from the sick room are not disinfected. Care should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease by contact, by flies, by contaminated drink ing water, or by infected dairy products. The typhoid germ al ways enters the system by moutn and laboratory findings show that they may be present in the sys tern for twenty months after re covery from the disease. B. W. Page, Co.
