CHINTZ BUG MORTALITY.

Some, we might say a majority, of
our farmers are incredulous as to the eff
ficacy of Prof Shows chintz bug inocu-
lation. They don't believe that Snow or
anybody else can impart contagious or
at least an infectious disease to whole
fields of chintz bugs, inoculating them
with mortal scourge. If any farmers
in the world ought to be bright and pro-
gressive Kansas farmers ought to be.
They, of all agriculturists. are more IA
vorably situated for general intelligence,
and ought to be the last to either be led
clannishly by the nose or to be imposed
upon through prejudice or ignorance.
Prof. Snow, of the State university at
Lawrence, Kan, desires the farmers of
Kansas to send him bugs by mail which
he will infect with disease which will
everlastingly curl up all other bugs with
which they come in contact. To such as
forward him bugs, and to others, he
will return diseased bugs to be turned
loose in infected fields. 4 few DAYS suf-
flee to do the business for the winged
pests. They can be forwarded in paste
board boxes, we believe, care being
taken to punch such boxes full of pin
holes so that the bugs will remain alive.

DOES FARMING PAY?

The question is often asked. and by
men engaged in the business, and some
times IN deprecating sort of way. 1t
may be answered both ways, and truth
fully, Some people never make a sue
cess of anything. the result sometimes
of combination or series of misfortunes.
and in other cases the result of lack Of
management. On the other hand there
are numberleSs cases in this valley coun-
try where farmers have in few wears
grown rich. rising from nothing TO indie
pendence and affluence. \ number of
such instances have been mentioned in
the EAGLE from time to time and there
are many more whose success has been
as marvellous as any that have been
spoken of. Here is one:
Five years ago Robert Ogden came 10
Sedgwick county and settled on small
farm on the Cowskin out west of Wich-
ita. He had very little money to begin
with. and the first year sickness in his
family run him $500 in debt The sec
ond year he LOST as much more by dis
ease among his live stock-hogs aud
horses. The third year his wife had
the misfortune TO fall and break
her leg, which necessitsted the
hiring of help for the house work and
incurred other extra expenses. One
year he had crop failure from drouth.

ROTATION OF CROPS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Our land would last longer and give
better returns if we would adopt sys-
TEN of rotation. Alfalfa, corn and wheat
would be good rotation, and the sooner
some plan is tried and found satisfac-
tory, the better. know it is frequently
asserted our corn land will never run
out. We will some day know better,
and believe we could now increase our
yield Of corn and wheat by blowing
under good green crop. Cow peas are
extensively grown at the south to plow
under to enrich the land.
/ knew a field once that was so run
down it would not mature crop of
grain. It was sown to buckwheat and
plowed under twice the first season.
Then to corn twice the second year, and
then to wheat in the fall and clover with
the wheat in the spring, and produced
thirty-two bushels of wheat to the acre
the third year. The clover was plowed
under the fourth spring and planted to
corn, yielding forty-seven bushels to the
acre, and then, With clover, corn and
wheat for a succession subsequently pro-
duced good crops. This was in the state
of Michigan. In Kansas alfalfa will take
the place of red clover and keep up the
fertility of the soil. II. Z. BIDWELL.

The report from Rome to the effect

PROBABLY A MISTAKE.

WINFIELD. Kan, May 5, 81
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Is it true as stated in the interview with
Ex-Governor Jerome in yesterdays EAGLE
that the trade for the strip" is closed? If
so, will it be thrown open at the same
time the other purchases are? Is there
not some mistake in that part of the inter
view? j. w. c.. SPINSTINE.
1t was not an interview of the EAGLE
which stated that the trade for the
Strip had been concluded, but an edi-
torial reference to dispatch dated Kan
sas City and which reached the EAGLE
by wire. Something of the same tenor
came through a special to this paper
from Guthrie. We cannot say, there
fore, whether the conclusion Of our
Winfield interrogater is the correct one
or not, still our guess is the trade has
not been consummated, nor that it IS
likely to be for some time to come.

If the present volume of money were
| doubled, prices" might be higher, but val
ues would not, and it is value that we
want.-Nevton Republican.
Upon that theory it would be the prop
er thing to reduce the present vol
ume of money, instead of to increase it,
and the more reduced, the better. That
is the goid-bug theory to a dot, but it
don't find much sympathy with the COM
morality of the people, large majority
of whom are actually distressed because
of the abnormal increase in values
without the wherewith to purchase. The
question of value is the absorbing one to
the one who wants to sell, but volume
takes precedence with the purchaser,
and the latter are largely in the majority,
and are entitled to the first considera-
ton, unless our theory of government,
in ''the greatest good to the greatest
number" be delusion and misnomer.

The present slow and altogether nu-
certain methods of bringing malefactors
to answer and TO punishment for crimes
lis about to undergo some important
changes. The judge who falls into line
promptly will find himself able to ac-
|complish much in the way of reform,
and will certainly not lose anything in
the way of reputation or promotion by
doing so. The Galveston News covers
the point when it says we want the
courts and not mobs to punish criminals.
In order to have it this way it is neces-
|sary for the courts to overcome the
fretful delays and fragrant failures
which have been SO rife in the past.

And yet, despite all these draw backs
and burthens that seemed enough to
crush the stoutest and bankrupt a man
of wealth, Mr.. Ogden has never tagged
in energy and perseverance, and today
he is the possessor of two quarter sections

that is practically unincumbered; he has
a good, comfortable home, surrounded
with everything necessary for the con-
venience and welfare of his family his
farm is in the very best condition and is

bushels of old grain in his cribs and bins,
and as fine prospect for big crops as one
