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. ; ' .

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.
