ADVICE
To Ohio Farmers
On the Destruction of
Chinch Bugs.
The Ohio Experiment Station Is.
sues a Bulletin.

The Ohio Experiment Station is re-
ceiving letters indicating an extensive
outbreak of chinch bugs in certain parts
of the state, and in response it is
sending out small packages of fungus
culture in the hope that it may be of
service in injecting the bugs with a
parasitic fungus, which, under favora,
BILE conditions, has been found to be
very destructive to these pests.
This fungus, however, requires moist
weather and masses Of insects for sue
cessful operation, and 1t Is feared that
1t may not act with sufficient prompt,
ness during the prevailing dry wealth
er. The following remedy Is therefore
offered as probably better adapted to
existing conditions, this remedy hav-
ing been suggested in 1895 by Prof.
S. A. Forbes, State Entomologist, of
Illinois:
dissolve one-half pound hard or
soft soap in one gallon of water, and
heat to the boiling point. Remove
from stove and add two gallons Of coal
| oil, churning the mixture with a good
force pump for Is minutes. When the
emulsion is formed, it will look like
buttermilk.
'To each quart of this emulsion. add
10 quarts of water, and apply to the
corn in a spray-preferably before 10
a. m. or after 3 p. m. The bugs should
be washed off so that they will float in
the emulsion at the base of the plant.
A teacupful to a hill is generally suf,
ticient, but the quantity must vary
with the number of bugs infesting the
corn"
The progress of these bugs though a
field may be obstructed by making a
shallow V-shaped trench with the cor
ner of hoe and filling it with coal
tar, the tar to be renewed in two or
three days. They may also be destroy.
ed by plowing them under and har-
rowing and rolling. These two meth
DDS were successfully employed by the
Ohio station in 1888.

RICH MISER
Was Caught Stealing His Neigh.
boris Corn.

Bowling Green, o., July 30.-Wil'
liam Bailey, wealthy farmer living
near here, and owning 100 acres OF
good land with several good oil wells
was arrested charged with stealing
corn from a neighbor's crib. Eugene
Sly, into whose crib Bailey had broken
has been missing corn and other grain
for some time. So his hired man fixed
IA trap for the burglar, and Sunday
night they landed Bailey. Bailey
when caught, protested that he was
only borrowing the corn for a horse
which had been taken sick in the
night Bailey is known as miser, but
was a prominent man in this vicinity
AS Bailey is charged with breaking in,
to the crib, his offense, If proved, may
land him in the penitentiary.

DEADLY
Is the Reconcentrado
System.
If Continued Would Soon Depop.
ulate Boer Country.

Chicago, July 30..-"The horror of
the situation in the Boer reconcentra-
do camps of South Africa is appalling.
Men, women and children are dying
at rate that would mean the exter-
mination of the Boer race in nine
years. The people are cooped up in
unsanitary quarters, where they are
unable to secure sufficient food or
clothing, with disease making terrible
ravages among them"
Thus was the situation in the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State depicted
last night at the Christian Reformed
church by Rev. Herman d. Van
BrOckhuizen, late pastor of the lead
ing Dutch Reformed church at Pre-.
toria. He has come to the United
States to raise money to alleviate the
sufferings of his countrymen who are
hIi1dled together in refugee camps
1t is the intention of Rev. Brockhui-
zen to travel through the country
speaking in churches of various demon.
nations, and describing the real situa
tion throughout South Africa. The
funds he is able to secure will be
sent direct to Pretoria.
Regarding the outcome of the strug
gle, Rev. Brockhuizen is still Opt
mistic. He believes that the Beers
will continue fighting until they even
tually tire out Great Britain.

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of Nj. A. Hogarty, of Lexington,
Ky, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed color,
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was yellow jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, aid he
writes: "After taking two bottles !

Kidney complaints usuaiIy commence
with cold chills, especially in the back

The pain extends to the bladder loins
and thighs. The urine becomes highly

looks red or blood-like, with brick dust

stringy or milky and filled with albu-
men. When these conditions are allowed
to continue they result in one ore more

Weak Back, Rheumatism, Gout, Dia-
betes, Brights Disease, Gravel, Irritation
of the Bladder, Scalding of the Urine,
Swelling of the Ankles, Dropsy or some
other form of Kidney or Urinary Trouble.

WIDE AREAS NEED RAIN.
Late Planted Cotton terminates Poorly The
Southern Corn Crop Uneven.

(By the Associated Press.)
washington, May 1.-THE following is
the Weather Bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions:
While the week has been abnormally
cool in the upper Mississippi and Missouri
Valleys, with frosts more or less damag
ing in the Missouri Valley the temporal
ture conditions as a whole have been ia
voTable, but the area needing rain is much
greater than in the previous week, and
the effects of drought more serious, es-
pecially in the Gulf States. In the South
ern States, the corn crop is very uneven,
has made slow growth, and is generally
in need of rain, although showers have
afforded relief in sections.
Seeding of oats continues in the ex-
IRENE northern districts, and harvesting
has begun in Texas and Florida Over
the greater part of the Southern States
the crop has suffered much from drought
and is now needing rain in the lower Mis-
souri, Valley.
In the western and central portions
and over a considerable area in the east
ern part of the cotton belt rain is much
needed for cotton. That planted since

THE MIGHTY EXODUS
The Governors Proclamation
Disperses Book Agents
But Few Are Still Left in Raleigh to Watch
the Pot Boil, if There is to be
Any Boiling.
1t is a mighty exodus.


The official statement of the State
Board of Education has had the effect of
dispensing the army of book agents and
attorneys who have been in Raleigh for
some days They confidently expected
the board to render it's decision on Mon
day and give out the list which had been
adoDted. Instead the Board adjourned
to date not given, and dispersed the
book men by this proclamation:
THE Commission is in possession of all
the information which it desires, except
as to prices of books, and will have no
further interviews with book men or
their representatives except as to prices
and then only when the Commission asks
for prices
That proclamation was not unlike the
one Bill Arp tells about when he said
after reading Lincoln's proclamation to
dispense he went out into an old
field and tried to dispense himself, but
found it hard job. The book agents and
attorneys left the city as noiselessly and
as quickly as if they had been removed
by an airship. But a few yet remain to
watch the pot boil, if so be they are per-
mitted to see it boil, if there is any
boiling to be done.
The book companys managers, agents
and attorneys carry on the book contest
as if it were a campaign in which each
company was running for election against
opposing candidates. They all manage to
convince themselves that their particu-
lar books are the best and that the hope
of the future generation is wrapped up
49, to-. hot
the selection of some other books would
be an irreparable injury to unborn gen
erations. Starting in with that idea-the
idea of a contest between book houses
they pitch the campaign along that line,
and unless you stop to think, you are apt
to be deceived into thinking that 1T is
the interest of the book houses and book
agents that are at stake, DOR that it is a
candidate who is running for an office.
But the people are not interested in the
contest like the book agents. The sub
commission, composed of able and hon
orable teachers and school officers, did
not have the view OF the case that the
book agents take. They were seeking TO
serve the children primarily, and the
book houses in their estimation were not
to be considered. Their recommendations
represented their honest convictions. The
same is true of the State Board of Edu-
cation. 1t is composed of able and hon
orable public officials, charged with an
important and responsible duty. They
are seeking to do what is best for the
schools and the children, and with them
the interests of book comeanies and book
agents should be and is of no considera-
ton in comparison with the needs of4the
schools for North Carolina boys and girls.
