The C1iinch Bug Question.

Reports Of the presence Of chinch,
bugs IN such numbers as to cause anx-
5lety comes from some sections Of Ok
lal homa The plan Of destroying the
pugs by the spread Of disease among
them by introducing diseased bugs or
me spores causing the disease into I'M
rested fields has proved effective in
many cases, while in very many little
or no good result has been noticed.
me conditions most favorable for the
spreading Of the disease are not all
known, but it is known that dry
Weatner is not favorable, although it
IS decidedly favorable for the chinch
EDugs The disease is known to exist
IN different parts of the territory and
It's spread by natural means may help
much. The experiment station at

INJECTED l1ed MATERIAL, at least at present.
Inc station authorities strongly advise
farmers who find their wheat infested
10 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
winch it is desired to keep them, and
10 keep the sides and bottom of these
burrows timely pulverized by frequently
drawing log or other large piece Of
wood through them. The hugs can
not climb up reasonably steep fur
row side it this is mainly dust. If wet
weather comes, or if the sides of the
burrows are allowed to become hard,
the hugs can climb UP. Some farmers
hava successfully tried the plan Of
making holes in the bottom of the fur
rows With post hole auger or spade.
AS the bugs collect in these they aro
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 it helpful to
SOW strip of millet alongside or
around a badly infested wheat field.
AS the wheat ripens the bugs will go
into the millet strip. Many of them
can be destroyed by blowing and roll
ing the ground. .

very opening OF the discussion the OPP
ponents Of annexation quite unexpect-
sedly scored a point by preventing an
aye and nay vote on taking up the
resolution. w hen. Mr.. Davis, chair
man Of the foreign relations commit

president declared, as usual, that no
objections being raised the resolutions
& would be considered. There being no
OBJECTIONS the resolutions were taken
up. a minute, or two later Mr.. Frye
demanded an aye and nay vote on the
question: Mr.. w 1lite Instantly made a
point of order that an aye and nay
vote could not be taken ON a dead
issue, the resolutions were already
before the, senate on unanimous con-
sent. The point Of order was, Of
course, maintained. I'm the afternoon
a motion was made to adjourn, and,
like flash, Mr.. Davis demanded the
ayes and hayes, the motion, the vote

having gained his point in developing
the numerical weakness of the Oppo-
sltlon, Mr. Davis readily agreed to,
enter a motion for an executive ses-
sion. The proceedings of the day in
dlcate clearly that there is to be no
debate upon the Hawaiian question in
the ordinary acceptance of the term.
lu is not the purpose Of the friends of
annexation to consume time in making
speeches. Believing that the senate
mas already in executive session thor
oughly discussed the question they will
permit the opponents Of the project
to occupy all Of the time. This plan of
campaign is not satisfactory to the
latter, and during the session consid-
cradle bitterness was manifested at
times. The speakers were Mr.. Morrill,,
the venerable senator from Vermont,
and one of the Republican opponents
OF annexation, and Mr.. Bacon of
Georgia. Mr.. Morrill, covered the gen.
eral question, while Mr.. Bacon dis
cussed the power of congress to annex
territory by legislative act, maintain
ing that such annexation was uncon-
stitutional. -

The house passed the general def

occasioned little debate and it passed
