Reports q the presence oe chincb
bugs In such numbers - to cause anx-
isty comes from some sections Of Ok
lahoma Tue plan Of destroying the
bugs BY the spread Of disease among
them BY introducing diseased bugs or
the spores causing the disease into in
tested fields has proved effective In
many cases. while in very many little
or no good result has been noticed.
The conditions most favorable for the
spreading Of the disease are not all
known. but 1t is known that dry
weather is not favorable. although It
Is decidedly favorable for the chinch
bugs. The disease is known to exist
In different parts of the territory and
Its spread by natural means may help
much. The experiment station at
saltwater will not be able to send out
infected material. at least at present.
The station authorities strongly advise
farmers who find their wheat infested
TO take measures to prevent the bugs
from going into other crops. While
the ditch method requires a good deal
OF work and careful attention. it can
be made effective. The plan is to
make one or, better, two or three fur
rows around the field in which the
bugs are. or alongside the field from
which 1t Is desired to keep them, and
to keep the sides and bottom of these
burrows finely pulverized by frequently
Craving log or other large piece CT
wood through them. The hugs can
not climb up a reasonably steep fur
row eide II this is mainly dust. If wet
weather comes. or II the sides Of the
burrows are allowed to become hard.
the bugs can climb up. Some farmers
have successfully tried the plan Of
making holes In the bottom of the fur
rows with post hole auger or spade.
As tho bugs collect in these they arc
killed with hot water In some cases
boards are set on edge and the top
smeared with tar. This may be made
effective. but costs more than the fur
rows. Some have found 1t helpful to
SOW a strip of millet alongside or
around badly infested wheat field.
AS the wheat ripens the bugs will 60
into the millet strip. Many OF them
can be destroyed by plowing and roll

The steel arch bridge. now in cours,
of construction across the gorge below
Niagara Falls. to take the place OF the

world. Its span is S6S feet, and its rise
in the center. from the level of the
piers, $50 feet. making its greatest
height above the surface of the river
1872 feet. The next longest steel arch
belongs to bridge at Oporto, Portugal

physician pitched in and did duty as

the commission that he had once held.

Wednesday morning that an assistant
surgeon was needed for one Of the
regiments. Thus far whenever a
man Of any profession or trade has
been wanted tie commanding officers
have found him serving in some ca

could be found to act as an assistant
surgeon of their regiment. AS they
walked down the company streets one
Of them stopped. and pointing TO 4

was digging 4 trench around his tent,
