Prevailing Hot Wave Extends
to Nearly Every Portion Of
the Country.
Registered Over so in Many
Localities and lo2 at
Little Rock.
Heat Due to an Area of High
Barometer Prevalent in
the South.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Reports Of
maximum temperatures received by the
weather bureau show that the present
warm wave is very general and is
probably the most severe of the pres
ent summer. The officials. say it is
very unusual for the temperature to
reach such high point in so many
parts Of the country at one time.
The heat is due to an area
Of high barometer which has
been prevailing over the southern por.
ton Of the country and low barometer
in the northern part, which results in
great waves Of heat coming toward the
north. The predictions Of the weather
bureau are that the warm weather will
continue from the middle and south
Atlantic coast westward to the Missis-
sippi river, though some relief may be
expected from thunder storms in some
sections.
Among the temperatures reported to
the weather bureau during the day
were: Albany, "a; Philadelphia, "a;

Sioux CITY, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE treas
urer and commissioners of Dakota
county, Neb., across the river from

other. The quarrel arose several days
ago when the commissioners met at
Dakota City, six miles from this place,
and informed the treasurer that they
should like to see the 81, 900 now: in his
custody. The treasurer offered, in lieu
of the cash, q certificate Of deposit on
tho Sioux City bank, where the money
is kept. But the commissioners would
not have it that way. The money and
nothing but the money would satisfy
them. At their request the sheriff was

THE C:iINCH BUG.
Various Ways of Fighting This Little Ter
ror of Western Grain6elds.

Various Ways of Fighting This Little Ter
ror of Western Graindelds.
The plan of killing off chinch bugs
by scattering the bodies OF insects that
died of contagious disease has not sue
ceeded except when conditions were
just right. In wet weather and where
the bugs are massed together the disease
spreads rapidly, but in time Of drought,
where the bugs are scattered, this meth
cd is not effective. Here is what Profess
or Osborn of the Iowa college station
says in regard to this subject:
In many localities the chinch bug is
doing serious damage and many requests
for the infection material for the chinch
bug disease are being received. would
urge that in all cases where serious
damage is in progress, or threatened,
other means be adopted, as reliance upon
the disease is very likely to result in
disappointment. Its use involves week
or ten days of careful attention, consid-
cradle labor, and then, unless the weather
is just right, no good may result. Even
if the disease does spread in the field it
will be from two to three weeks after
work is begun before general destruc-
ton occurs, in which time the damage
may have gone beyond repair. With
moist, warm weather the disease is very
likely to spread without artificial intro
duction and save all the labor. For &C
tual treatment where patches of grain
are being destroyed, pillow under deep
and roll to prevent spread Of young
bugs. If crop can be saved prepare to
kill the bugs at time Of migration by
making barriers.
If the ground is dry, furrow with
sloping, dusty sides is the cheapest and
most effective. If wet, narrow strip Of
tar which can be conveniently drawn
along smooth surface BY using wa
tering pot with the rose off is advised.
Occasional holes into which the bugs
will fall as they move along the barrier
will trap them and they can be killed
with a douse of kerosene or buried
deeply.

Growing Wheat.

B. @. Buffam of the Wyoming station
gives tabulated data for three years
work in growing wheat on single acres
on irrigated and unirrigated land at six
substations in the state. The cost per
acre of preparation and sowing varied
from $2.43 to So; of irrigation, from
88 cents to 81; of harvesting, from $1.60
to 50. so; Of thrashing, from 81. SO to
So. 60 (4.6 to 10 cents per bushel). The
yield varied from 20 to So bushels per
acre.
The author concludes that "advan-
tages of raising wheat under irrigation
are ~ an assured crop; (2) larger
yields; (3) heavier and better grain;
az maintaining fertility Of the soil.
The cost of raising wheat varies from
$3.50 to $1S. SO per acre. Estimated cost
upon 40 acres or more by the use Of i'm
proved machinery was $7.75 per acre.
Profit varies from 81. 70 to $16. 70 per
acre. Average profit is &1o.16 per
acre."
