FRIDAY, March 80.

RIDA1t march OO-
1t has been suggested by several
prominent farmers that the most stren-
uous endeavors should be made TO burn
up all the old rubbish on the farms,
and especially the prairie grass, to get
away with the chinch bugs. 1t is not
generally known what large quantities
there are of the bugs alive in the grass
awaiting the first opportunity to devOur
the growing crops. Under small
bunch of grass picked up by c. Gaines
berger was found full pint of the live
ly pests. 1t is thought by the hearty
cooperation and immediate action of the
farmers the severity Of this trouble may
be somewhat mitigated at least. -. The
McAuley Bros. have an extensive sign
up this morning.. The loaters have all
taken to fishing as recreation.

County Surveyor Milliken was up yes

the northwestern corner of the town site.
The right place for this road has long
been matter of dissension and discord.
and we would be glad TO see it settled.
AS it is we are informed that nearly ali
interested are dissatisfied and there is IL
able to be trouble yet. In its present
condition the road is almost q nuisance
and as every different surveyor locates
the road differently We do not see how
IT can be settled by any other way than
mutual consent, Mr.. Haesley was taken
quite sick yesterday with neuralgia of
