Topeka. Kansas-Prompt action by
farmers in the Kansas wheat belt is
necessary to secure immunity from

threatened with a ravage from these
insects. Last season chinch bugs did
great damage to corn in Kansas.

materially injured growing wheat in
Kansas. Some estimates place damage
at one third of the promised crop.
When this heavy coating of sleet fell
and froze into a solid covering of ice

where the ice has melted many plants

Thoney was easily the star OF the

when the team reached Cincinnati on

he was laid off. Being sent into the
game to bat for another player in one
of the hone contests he turned first

make second and slid back to the mi

right leg, which compelled him to stay
out of the game for the remainder of
