FEAR CHINCH BUGS
Agricultural COllegeWOu!d Swat
the Festive Pest.
Farmers Are Warned That Bug
Family Is Thriving.
DID NOT WINTER KILL.
Bunch Grass of All Kinds Is
Alive With Them.
PlOW and Burn Is the Advice
of X. S. A. C. Experts.

| Manhattan, Kan, JAM, 19.-The
chinch bug, which shortened the corn
crop by one-half in some portions of
southern Kansas last summer, has es-
| tablished winter quarters mainly in
| bunch-grass. Recently one such clulnp
of bunch-grass eight inches in diam
| eter was found by actual count to be
| sheltering not less than 10000 bugs.
Should the bugs pass the winter safe
| ly and find next spring and summer
favorable, they will damage wheat
and corn to the extent of millions OF
dollars.
Bug infested grasses should be
burned off as soon as they are dry
enough to burn to the surface of the
ground. This procedure. If generally
practiced between now and the time
the bugs emerge from winter quarters
next spring, will go far toward pre-
venting serious harm from the chinch
bug next summer" This is the state
ment given out by T. J. Headlee, head
of the department of entomology in
the Agricultural college. Circular No.
5, now ready for mailing, gives in de-
tail the results of studies from which
these statements are drawn. 1t may
be had for the asking.
Chinch Bugs Winter in Bunch Grass.
The threatening mass Of bugs are
wintering in bunch-grass, blue-stem
and other clump-forming grasses
commonly found along fences and
roadways, in neglected portions of
cultivated fields, in pasture lands and
in native meadows. The bugs appear
to find the clump-forming grasses es-
pecially favorable as winter quarters.
Following the rain late last fall,
those bugs which sought winter quar-
tiers in bunch-graSs and other grasses
of similar habit showed no signs of
injury, while those that sought pro-
To- Fol a <xy17 fn6
owing to it's nature compelled them to
lie close to the ground, were soon
found to be dying with chinch-bug
disease. Although in numerous in
stances diseased bugs were collected
and placed in punches of grass filled
with bugs, the disease did not spread.
Dry Spring Means Heavy Crop Loss
Possibly next spring and summer
will be rainy. If so, the bugs may
die off and do little harm. On the
may be dry. If so, the bugs are likely
to do large damage. The farmer must
not rest assured that in the event of
dry weather and the appearance OF
great numbers of bugs. he can pre-
vent the damage they would do by.
DR.. Headlee reports that during the
past season the chinch bug fungus
was present from before harvest time
to November 18th, in parts of Sum-
ner county, where corn suffered dam
age of one-half. Indeed. during the
month of October, it was found in
every cornfield examined When the
bugs are abundant the farmers can
not<therefore afford to place their de-
pendence in chinch bug fungus and
other natural agencies whose action is
dependent upon weather conditions
over which no man has control.
/ The best results from burning the
ug-infested grasses will follow only
where all the land owners in an in
tested district adopt the measure.

His vast operations in wheat pro-
duction during the past season can
perhaps be comprehended' easier
through some figures. Here they are:
His wheat fields aggregated an area
of eight miles long and two miles
wide
This is equivalent to Ga farms of 100
acres each, the average size Kansas
farm.
1t took ten carloads of wheat to seed
his fields.
He manufactures his own steam
plowS with which to break the soil.
Each of these plows can turn so acres
day easily.
1t required $50 harvest hands a
month to gather the crop.
Four threshing machines were kept
busy for a month threshing the crop,
1t required 100 freight cars, 1000
bushels capacity, each. to move his
crop.
After gathering this crop Mr.. Fike
sowing $4,000 acres OF wheat for the
coming years harvest. This will give
him a wheat area this time ten miles
long and two miles wide.
When James N. Fike arrived here
20 years ago in a covered wagon,
drawn by two small ponies, and ac-
companied by his plucky wife and two
small sons, it was far from his ambi-
