CHINon BUGs.--It is now believed by
farmers that the early start, forwardness
and uncommon growth of stalk and blade
will prevent any great ravages of the chinch
bugs this year, and that wheat will prove
an entire success, except for accidents of
weather. The old stock Of chinch bugs
DO no injury. 1t is the new brood, which
matches in June and natures early in July
that exhausts with wolfsh appetite The
juice Of the stalk, this during the milk age
Of wheat. 1t is believed that most fields
will npen this year some days earlier than
usual, while the cool nights and days have
greatly retarded the growth Of the insects.
Should such opinions prove correct, the
wheat product must turn out enormous.
But should there be failure by bugs, like
that Of last year, farmers will have to do
one of two things: entirely cease the rails
inc Of wheat, or else take to winter wheat,
which latter crop may be relied upon 10 II
pen near two weeks in advance Of spring
seed wheat. People cannot afford to lose
another almost entire crop by the bugs as
happened last year-besides keeping up
seed. Even should there be a good crop
this year, so as to enable more general
preparation for stock raising, there will be
a less confidence in wheat, thann any 9th
er crops and pursuits. Farmers are only
neglecting stock because they have not the
capital to use in buying stock sheep, young
cattle, brood mares, hogs, DC, and laying
out Of their capital so invested for one or
two years, or until their stock begins TO
increase. The hope is that farmers will
have good crops this year to enable them
to engage in that more substantial and
never failing busness-stoek raising. One
or more millions Of dollars in Grant Coun-
ty depends upon the chinch bugs; If they
ruin the crops again, the people will be
held back to one, two or three years Of
want, shift and hard times.
