The terrible chinch bug has come and
farmers are complaining bitterly. A
gentleman here from Kansas says, they
have a remedy, and but fer the remedy,
they could raise no wheat in Kansas.
The remedy consists in producing a
contagious disease amongst the bugs.
Some farmers are talking of changing
the program and raise less wheat or
none at all and probably that would be
the best remedy-more cows, more hogs,
more sheep, more corn, more barley,
more oats, more potatoes, more diversi-
fed farming and more good farming may
be the proper remedy, and if so, the
sooner the change the better. There is
no profit, even in good crops of wheat,
at present prices, and the bugs may be a
blessing in disguise, compelling farmers
to abandon the losing game. Paynes-
vile News.
