In the Mulin section nlone, ap proximately 100 acres of second growth alfulfa have been, stripped by hordes of nrmy worms, Frank W. Sexton, acting county agent, re ported this morning following a survey of the situation yesterday afternoon. Heaviest losers between Morrill nnd Malin are J. I.. Jacob, i!9 acres of second grow'sa hay; E. D Smilh; 35 acres, and Frank Lnmplot, ap proximately 10 acres of hay. Tho ranch of. Frank KIJiuis was being assailed by the destructive worms Into yesterday afternoon. Potatoes AVi'Hil Out Two rows of . potntoes on tho Jacob ranch were wiped out by tho worms. Only tho second growth of hay which is just beginning to crowd through thu soli In tender shouts, was wiped. out. The con sumption of thu new hay does not necessarily mean that . tho second hay crop Is destroyed, Mr. Sexton said. Tho roots ore still intact nnd new alfulfa will grow in the place of tho alfnlfit sacrificed to the army worm blight. Tho danger lies In tho army worm hordes consuming tho alfalfa as it stuns to grow, thus Impeding any chanco of growth. No reports of grain fields being destroyed by the army worm have been received at the county agent's office On one form north of Klam ath Falls a crop of lettuce wus wiped out us well as several acres of hay. To Flood Fields Farmers on tho Klamath project informed Mr. Sexton that they would try flooding tho Infected fields in tho hope of drowning out thn pest. If this falls, then the poison formula advocated by the county agent's offico will bo fol lowed. Tho army worm Infestation Is general throughout tho agricultural sections south of Klamath Falls and In somo sections north of Klam ath Falls. To Seek Aid Unless irigntion or poison checks the nrmy worm menace,' assistance of experts from the Oregon Agrlcul tural collego wilt.be asked. First reports were to the effect thnt tho worm was tho cut worm. Investiga tion disclosed that it was the army worm which was causing tho trouble. Although tho two destructive worms look almost exactly alike, they carry on tholr destructive ac tivities differently. Tho cot worm gnaws plants off close to tho roots, whereas the nrmy worm iguores tho stalk nnd strips tho foliage of tho plant clenn. ; ' . Pl.ANF.S HOP OFF OMAHA, Neb., July 21.

BITTER HATRED SHOWN Henry Kirk and John Trud en Shoot Until one Drops Survivor Kills Self IirtAWLKY. Calif.. July 21. (IP) Hatred longer than tho passing years and stronger than man's love of life drove John Truden and Henry Ken dig Kirk into tho duel and suicide pact revealed yesterday In the find ing of their bullet-pierced bodies and a letter by Trudeu relating how they had died. ' What caused that bitter hatred, however, was as deep a mystery to day as it was when the lifeless Tru- don was discovered propped against a rock near the Jncquam bathing pool near San Diego. Tho letter stuffed in Truden's pocket, told "all whom it may concern that H. Kirk and J. Truden Of, the lTrti-'.ri'i1 hotel, Im perial, CallfbrnfaT'mei the 'nfght"" of July 17 to fight out their differ ences with .38 calibre colts purchas ed for that purpose." letter Is Left At the break of day on July IS they turned their backs on each oilier with tho agreement that at 12 paces they were to turn and, when Truden had counted three, to fire ut will until one of them was dead. "At tho word two. Kirk opened fire," said tho letter, "his shot grazing my right hip so that I could feel It. At three I fired and missed, Kirk fired again and missed and ran a few paces with me after him. Ho turn ed nnd wo fired at the same time. My bullet scored tho mark." Kxplainlng thnt they had been enemies for six years, but dropping no hint of the origin of their feud, Truden concluded his letter with the remark that ho intended to fulfill his promise for tho suicide duel con tract and kill himself, "ns soon as I leave tho valley," the heat of which ho lamented, "even though I am headed for a much hotter one. ac cording to William Jennings Bryan." A stranger who was arrested when he walked into the coroner's office asking to see Kirk's body at an hour when tho general public had no ink ling he was dead, was later released when he acknowledged that he had lernncd of tho affair through the landlord of- the hotel where Kirk stayed.
