! Last fall the great abundance OF
bugs and the serious nature Of the
damage reported indicated that a per.
liod Of chinch bug trouble was at hand
and the reported injury to wheat and
barley this spring has only served to
strengthen the impression. The
heavy rains occurring just at the
Matching time have, however, lie.
stroyed many of the young, and II
continued throughout the Matching
period may do much to prevent later
trouble. Parasitic fungi, thriving. as
they are under the unusual moisture
and attacking both adults and young,
are working toward the same end,
Last fall not less than rs counties
Lying mainly within the eastern part
Of the wheat belt reported chinch
bugs in serious numbers, and this
spring at least twelve have reported
the cinch bugs injuring the wheat.
Is is therefore probable that, unless
the damp, rainy weather continues
throughout the Matching. season and
parasitic fungi take hold generally,
tie young bugs will, with the harden.
ming Of infested wheat and other
grains, march into adjoining corn
fields and do greatharm. Unfortunate
ly, the present knowledge off chinch
hug warfare shows there is no practi-
cable method Of destroying the bngs
in wheat save as nature herself,
through the agency of dashing rains,
destroys the Matching young and en-
courages the growth Of parasitic fungi
on young and old.
There is, then, danger tnat in
many localities the chinch bugs will
march from ripening wheat into near
by corn fields, and the question is
how to prevent this disaster. For.
tunately, many experiments have been
performed along this line and an
abundance Of data made available.
When the bugs set out in search Of
food the farmer can prevent them
from passing into his growing corn or
other grain by erecting and maintain.
ling barriers between the field from
which they come and the field toward
which they are going. In general.
there are two types of barriers-one,
the dust line, especially useful in dry
weather, and the other the petroleum
or tar line, especially fitted for wet
weather. The best type of dust bar
rier may be constructed as follows:
Plow strip 6 to 10 feet wide between
1.-THE infested field and the field to be
protected; thoroughly and deeply pull.
verb the strip with disk harrow:
then reduce the surface to dust by
dragging a brush or other instrument
over II: drag short log 3 or III inch
in diameter, or a triangular trough,
made by mailing two boards together
ind loading with stone, leugthwise
along the dusty strip as near as prac-
ticable to the infested side until a
deep furrew has been made; dress up
the sides with hoe so that no pass.
age ways may be left. dig postholes al
least II inches deep in the bottom Of
this fuTow at intervals Of 20 #. The
bugs will collect in these holes, where
they may be destroyed by pouring
kerosene upon them. After long
time the slope of the furrow wall will
be lessened by the dragging down Of
the dust particles under the many
