square miles of farm land in North
ern Sumner county was burned over
last fall and winter. The crops har-
vested on the burned area last sum-
mer, 1911, showed marked improve
ment over those in the surrounding
territory. A farmer in the burned
district, says that destroying the
chinch-bug-infested grass made him
nearly $1,000. In the II IL square
miles a saving of about 900 on the
wheat alone must be attributed to
this burning. This is more than. it
cost the state to carry on all its bug
investigations.
DIR. Headlee and his assistants
have learned that the bugs establish
winter quarters in clumps of bunch
grass and patches of big blue stem.
Bunch grass is seen as a feature in
every part of the state infested with
chinch bugs. 1t was learned, also,
that while some bugs sought shelter
in weeds and piles of rubbish and
crevices of some sort, practically
