His remains were brought to

K. D. Smith noted a small bug
feeding on the green aphis
which are such pests on cucum-
ber vines. This bug which has
nearly exterminated the aphis in
his garden are small, about one
half inch in length, of the largest
seen. In shape they are built on
the reversed plan of a torpedo
oat destroyer, being broad at
the front and taperiug towards
the rear. In color they are a
steel gray in the smaller ones,
which are presumably the young
er ones, to blue gray in the
larger specimens. This color is
cut around the body with three
bands of orange color, the front
stripe being broader than the
next one behind it and the last
one still narrower. They have
three legs on each side all we'll
to the fore. They appear to be
hearty feeders and industrious
in obtaining food, but are slow
in motion, and not very sure
footed, 1t seeming to take them
some seconds to become secure
when placed on a fresh leaf.
If any reader is acquainted
with this bug we should be pies
ed to have its name, family his
tory, and habits.

2,s1l,OOO,OOO Bushels

Washington, Aug. 9.-This
years grain crops in the United
States will be far in excess of
last years yield. 1t was esti-
mated today by the department
of agriculture. It will be bet
ter than the average crop for
the last ten years, and in the
case of number of products,
will make a new record, if pre-
sent estimates are not over
thrown by conditions at present
unforeseen.
This country's crop is esti-
mated at 2,s11,OOO,OOO bushels,
and will be the largest in the ma
tons history, with the excep-
ton of the years 1906 and 1910,
the former being the banner
year, with 1927, 100000. AS
for the wheat crop, estimated at
$50, 100000 bushels, that will
rank fifth in size during the last
twenty years.
The oats crop will be the
largest the country has gather.
ed, surprising by $1,000, 900
bushels that of 1910, the previous
record. In barley, too, this
year will esta blish a new record,
the estimated yield of 202, 900, 900
being 24.OOO,0OO greater than
that of 1906, the previous best
year.
The yield of rye, $4,000, 900
bushels will equal that of 1910,
the former record year.
Of potatoes, which will amount
this year to 37l, 100000 bushels,
only 1909, with its $4,000, 900
bushels, produced a larger
yield.
