Beware of ChufaS.

HARRELL's STORE, June 10, 1873.
Editor Farmer and Mechanic.
Last year | planted II acres in Chutas and
was we'll pleased with the result, but this
spring have not been able to get any stand
of corn where the chutas was planted on
which | herewith enclose. | have planted
this ground three times, and had come up
beautifully each time, and now there IS not
one blade to be found within fifty yards of
where the chUflS grew, the ground is full of
these bugs, and [ have finely abandoned the
idea of corn and planted it in peas. The bug
thrusts his bill into the stalk of the young
corn and sucks the life out of it. Several
of my %nelghbors say their experience is the
same as mine, they having been entirely
unable to get corn to stand on the same
ground where chufas grew last year. One
of my neighbors planted chufas again.in the
same place, and reports that this same bug
has killed all the chufas. This is the expe-
rience of every one so far as | have heard
who planted on stiff land, some who planted
on light sandy land do not complain. This
bug is not a new conner, but has been here
for years; but it is certainly raised and en-
couraged in some way by the chufas, to an
extent never known before.
| write this to put my brother farmers on
their guard, and would advise those who
have not tried chufas to wait awhile and see
what people say one year from now, for |
fear that in this instance all is not gold that
glitters. If my experience next spring is
the same as this | shall have no more chufas
about me. [ got a splendid stand of corn
on all my land except this one piece, and
have the best crop in ) years SO far.
Crops are good generally, and farmers are
beginning to lay by corn.
With best wishes for the success of your
excellent paper, | am yours respectfully,
A. S. CoLwELL.
The 'bugs" sent are female beetles of
the group Brenthide. They live under
bark. and in trunks of old trees. Harris
Treatise on insects says little has been printed
about them, though common in Middle and

distinguished for some peculiar and
striking talent. He was the centre
of the circle in which he lived, his very
smile was gladness, and his life was music
and sunshine and flowers. Thus gifted, and
endowed with such versatile talents, he bid
fair to rise to the foremost rank in his pro-
~tessiOn, and but for his untlnely death in
1921, at the early age of thirty-one years,
would have been justly prominent in the
history of the State.
Col. John ID. Jones, whose signature is
attached to the papers, was born at Love
Grove, near Wilmington, in 1890. His ia
Their, Col. David Jones, was an officer in
Gen. W~ashlngton's army, and was with him
at the crossing of the Delaware where he
gained distinction and was promoted to the
rank of Colonel. He married Annie Morris,
a connection of Robert Morris, one of the
signers of the Declaration of independence,
and removing to North Carolina settled in
the vicinity of Wilmington, where his son,
John d., was born. Col. Jones the SOM
was reared to the practice of the law, but
early abandoned it for the more congenial
pursuits of literature and agriculture. He
held the pen of a ready writer, and it was
his delight to go back into the past history
of the town and IN a style of great purity
and infinite humor record the transactions
and traditions of the olden time. He was a
member of the Legislature from the county
of New Hanover in 1871, and represented
the borough of Wilmington in 1919, 30, 81,
and again in 1888, in d time of great politi-
cal excitement, he was again solicited to be
a candidate and was elected almost unani-
mously, there having been but thirteen votes
cast In opposition and was also a member
of the convention of 1888, which framed the
new constitution of the State. He was
chosen Speaker of the House during his SER
vice in the Legislature and presided over its
deliberation with great ability and dignity,
and was offered the nomination for Cover
nor, but declined it on account of i'll health.
OF a modest and retiring nature, he shrank
from tn. turmoils and cares of public life.
In debate, he was always courteous and
urbane, quick at repartee and prompt to dis
cover and to take advantage of any point ex-
posed by an adversary, but never indulgn ne
In personalities or STOPPING to the arts OF the
demagogue. He was an accomplished
scholar, a gentleman of fine presence and
great dignity of character, distinguished for
kindness of heart and generous sentiments,
free from guile, and ~scrupulously regardful
of the feelings of others.
After his retirement from political life he
accepted the position Of Naval officer at the
port of Wilmington, and subsequently was
| elected President of the bank of Cape Fear,
which position he held until failing health
compelled his resignation. He died at
Greenville, $. c., in 1856, while on a visit
to his daughter, the wife of Gen. Waddy
Thompson, a member of Congress from that
State, and subsequently minister to Mexico,
and his remains now rest in the burial ground
of the Episcopal church in that city.
