Hamilton Made Flight in the Rain

New York, June 12.-Such a little

harbor in his aeroplane.
In making his preliminary run the
machine bumped into a surveyor S

and his mechanics began to wind up
up the loose ends.
1t rained all day long, but good

shortly before o'clock when the
weather had moderated somewhat and
there was almost no wind. and the
heavy moisture laden atmosphere was
just what an aviator likes, Hamil-
ton wheeled out his machine. warm

Seven times he circled the island
at a height of perhaps 200 feet, and
then came down with a dive like a
falcon STOPPING to its prey. Twice he
ventured out over the water to chase
ferry boats, while the passengers
craned their necks to see him pass
above and the captains footed theil
whistles.

Consequently letters were sent among the
farmers, asking for boxes of sound bugs.
These bugs were to be given the disease and
returned with directions for spreading it. The
response was surprisingly immediate Boxes
OF bugs poured into the express offices and
yet more boxes of bugs Farmers from neigh
boring states heard of the offer and they, too,
went bug hunting. The express companies
worked overtime. The assistants in the ento-
molog1st's office became mere undertakers for
bugdom. The mouldy bugs were sent out on
their benefcent mission Of destruction Then
the results came in. They varied; they did,
indeed. Some thought the entire entomolo-
gist's Office should be fitted out with golden,
glorious halo as the rescuer Of its country;
others alas! thought FOOLS cap would fit the
case more exactly.
But although the disease project could not
be called complete success, means were
found which make it possible to raise grain
even in the very worst of the chinch out
breaks. The barrier methods and sprays with
kerosene emulsion will catch them every
time. Just after harvest the scarcity of food
In the wheat fields arouses in the chinch an
instinct to migrate. On foot 1t sets out to get
an appetite for corn. This is the time to make
ridge beween the infested field and the field
the chinch desires to infest This is done by
blowing a backward furrow which is packed
with light roller or by hand and has a line
of tar poured upon it from a can with a
tubular spout. Post holes are dug at intervals
Of about twenty feet. BY keeping the tar
line fresh his chinchship cannot cross, but will
follow it to the posthole, into which he speed
lily tumbles. 1t then is merely pleasant recre-
alton for the farmer to travel. out and pour
weak solution Of kerosene upon his accu-
muated enemies. Kerosene Is an excellent
death dealer for these pests. When they get
into the cornfelds the farmers Of Illinois sally
forth with an emulsion containing four per
cent. of kerosene and half as much whale oil
soap mixed by five minutes simple beating
with stick. This is f1irted by hand upon the
corn in the cool of the day when the insects
feed most thoroughly and when there is less
danger of injury to the corn. Sometimes
single application does the work; when the
infestation is very bad two and even three
may be required.
Now let US talk about corn exclusively for
a while. With that staple at its present price
and with the grave gentlemen who produce
statistics as hens produce eggs-the louder
the cackling, the smaller the statistic-assur
ing us that it is on its lofty perch to stay, 1t
seems that the farmer will lave to cultivate
automobiles and bad habits as obesity cures
for his bank account But halt! Nature pro-
vides several There is the weather, more ex-
asperating and with less regard for poor

or,np Tho vav tn conquer q pair OF these
precious rascals that DR.. Forbes has made
his most valuable single contribution 10 SCI
ence. They are the corn field ant and the
corn root-aphis or, as 1t Is better KNOWN
the corn root louise. For long time they
were the particular scourge OF the corn
grower who supposed that they operated each
on its own account Through the research OF
Dr. Forbes it is now known that one is help
less without the other. The resourceful and
Industrious ant Is entirely unable TO extract
the coveted sap from the corn root, and the
stupid aphis would If left to itself, starve IN
the very presence Of the corn. But the ant
can carry the aphis to the corn root and de-
post it thereupon; the aphis can extract the
sap and then exude it, thus passing 1t On to
the ant Therefore it was not problem of
extermina ting two foes but of outwitting the
clever little ant. Were 1t banshed, the aphis
would soon disappear. The wretched little
soft-boded hunk O. creation can do nothing
for itself except lay eggs and suck corn sap.
The ant gives it home in it's own burrows,
matches it's eggs for it, carrying them to the
warm surface IL they are slow, bearing them
farther into the ground If they threaten to
hatch before its food supply is ready. And
this protection extends through the aphis' life.
IT, because of blowing or other inadvertence,
the ant finds it's charges scattered, it will
cheerfully collect them and reconstruct its
home if that has been molested also. The ant
has nothing else to do and it is active as
an outraged Puritan conscience. However,
methods of control have been found. The use
of the disk and crop rotation will exterminate
them. The root-aphis refuses entirely to oc-
cupy ground planted to oats, SO this crop Is
of the greatest Importance In clearing fields of
them. Also by disking two or three times
with a 20-inch disk in spring, especially on
sunny day when the ants are likely to have
their charges near the surface, they will be
killed and scattered and their nests so broken
I'D that even the enthusiastic little ant cannot
reconstruct the colony.
Another enemy of the corn that DR.. Forbes
has caught by cultivation is the bill bug, as
certain beetles are called because of their
long, hard shouts, which they poke into the
farmers business to ruin 1t. This time the
cultivation must be with the pillow instead of
the disk and in the autumn instead of spring
and in the fields of grass where the bill bugs
breed. These bugs are distinguished by
beligerency which is only equaled by their
strength Of claw. One variety appeared In
Illinois which looked so large to the harassed
farmers that it was christened elephant bug"
