Chinch Bugs Playing Havoc With
COrn..Other Matters.


Dr. A. II. Bolton, the veterinary surgeon,
who has made several trips to the country
the past week, says the outlook for the corn
crop is very poor. In many heidS every
stalk is covered with chinch bugs from the
ground to the top and they nave cut the
leaves so that when the wind plows they drop
Off. He noticed hundreds of stalks in which
these INTESTINE bugs have bored holes allow
ing all the sap to run out. The odor from
the fields In the morning is very offensive, SO
numerous are the bugs. Many farmers are
cutting their corn and will feed all OF it to
their cattle that is At to eat, out In the doc
tors opinion very little OF the corn Is fit for
this. Many farmers are very much diScour-
aged.
