PROFESSOR Washourn REPORTS on the nav
ages Of chlnch Bugs.
ST. CLOUD, MINN.-Professor F. L..
Washburn Of the agricultural station at
st. Anthony Park has just returned from
a trip thru central Stearns county. He
reports that the damage from chinch bugs
in Maine Prairie township Is the worst Of
any point in the state.
Scarcely a field Is left unchanged, and
the bugs are now working In the corn.
Probably two-thirds Of the corn In the
townships Of Maine Prairie, Lynden and
Luxembourg will be ruined. A peculiar
fact in connection with the working Of
the chinch bugs Is that they seem to have
avoided corn fields left uncultivated and
allowed to grow up with pigeon grass"
The same Is true Of fields that were left
unfertilized with manure, while the farm
er that worked hard to keep his field clean
of weeds and fortified them Is the one to
suffer all the damage The bugs have
also caused damage In the territory east
Of st. Cloud in Sherburne county.
