GREEN BUG IN WHEAT
Oklahoma Pest Has Invaded
Sedgwick County.
SETTLES ON THE HEADS
Farmers Do Not Regard the
Insect as Dangerous.

Farmers in Sedgwick county are bring
ing the startling news to town that a
small green bug has visited the wheat
fields in the county, and it is feared by
some that the pest viii cause great dam
age TO hard wheat, which cannot be har-
vested for several weeks yet Some OF
the wheat growers fear that the pest is
the Hessian fly. but this belief is dis
PEELED for the reason that the green IN
sect does not fly and also that it does
not operate in the same manner that the
Hessian fly does.
Mr. Martihson, a farmer, living in De-
lano township. was In the city yesterday
and stated that his wheat is thick with
the pest. The little animals are de-
seribed as being green, but cannot fly,
and are Of various sizes. In some respects
the bug resembles the pumpkin bug The
pest gathers on the head of the wheat
stalks and between the meshes of the
grain The Hessian fly works altogether
differently. II lays the eggs on the stalk
near the ground IN the fall and in the
spring the young absorb the substance.
The green bug invaded the Oklahoma
wheat fields some weeks ago, and the
alarmists were terribly worked up over
its appearance.
Mr.. Martinson says the pest is thick IN
his neighborhood, but he does not believe
they are dangerous. and he is not losing
any sleep over their appearance, as wheat
will be ready 70 cut next week How
ever, some of the farmers who have fear
ed all along that something would come
up to darken the bright prospects Of
record-breaking yield, do not know what
to think, and are taking matters seri-
ously.
Farmers in Oklahoma and other parts
in Kansas, who have had considerable
experience with wheat pests, say the
green bug, which is apparently a new
thing in this part Of the country, are
not damaging 10 crops, and, as the in
sect has been in Oklahoma for some
weeks and no reports Of damages, It is
taken for granted that they are not wheat
destroyers. For curiosity Mr. Martinson
is contemplating sending some OF the
pest to Manhattan to be analysed
Soft wheat is too near ripe to be dam
aged much, but if the green bug is de-
structive, it might harm the hard wheat,
which will not be ready for harvest for
several weeks.
Mr.. MartiRson says that the farmers are
making. arrangements TO begin cutting
wheat the latter part of this or next
week. AT present and until a general
harvesting is begun, there will be no
scarcity of hands. but already a large
number are coming from other parts Of
the state.

PARKERSBURG. W. Va, Sept. 2s.-
The joint discussion between Hon. A. B.
White and Hon. John II. Holt, the op-
posing candidates for governor, will be
held at the city park, In the open mir,
next Thursday afternoon. beginning at
. o'clock. That arrangement was made

representing w. e. r. Byrnc, sscre-
-tary OF the Democratic state commit
toe. land Hon. James X. Hall, acting In
behalf Of the Republican state commit
tee.
The local arrangements were at first
turned over to the county committees
of both parties for joint action and de-
ctsion. but the Democratic committee
refused TO act. The reason for refusal
was not given In the correspondence Of
the chalrmen Of the two committees,
but n member Of the Democratic coun-
ty committee stated that the commit
tee lid not ask to have the joint dis
cussion held here: that they did not
want 1t held here and so stated TO the
Democratic state committee.
Despite the local committees effort,
the state committee forced the matter.
1t Is said that there Ia considerable feel
ing among the Democratic managers
here. over the ignoring OF their request
by the state committee. and the real
reason for this request was the belief
that q repetition OF Judge Holt's home
speech here would do their cause more
harm than good.

One OF these was at Boac, on the west

have started from Santa Cruz on a gun

has been captured. for the despatch
