Chinch Bugs Threaten Wheat

Copper Screen Stolen From De.
sire De Backer.

! Chinch bugs are threatening to
] damage the wheat according to re-
ports received today by sLevi Stanley,
who has about 400 acres of wheat
| near Williamstown
| The chinch bugs are getting bad.''
said Mr.. Stanley this afternoon.
While l do not think that the bugs
will kill the crop from reports, I have
| received 1 fear that considerable
| damage is being done to the wheat.
Another danger is that after doing all
| harm possible to the wheat the in
sects are liable to leave the wheat
! field and attack a near by corn crop.
Millions of the bugs will get on a
/ wheat or corn stalk and sap the life
out. 1t is hard to combat them
The chinch bugs seem especially
numerous this season.
The effectiveness of the Anti Horse
Thief association recently organized
north of Topeka was shown last
night. Within half an hour after a
theft, the guilty man who had escap
ed to his house was tracked and had
confessed.
He had taken copper screen used
for straining spraying solution from
Desire Debacker, living about two
miles north of Topeka on the Central
avenue road. Mr.. Debacker notified
the members of the A. H. T. A. of his
loss and learned that a certain young
man had been seen with what ap-
peared to be the screen. Members
of the organization went to his
house. He was getting ready for bed.
He at first denied the theft but later
confessed. He had pounded the cop
per up making the screen useless and
intended to sell it for junk. However,
the people. concerned will not prose-
cute. The robber is young man
and he will be given a chance to
work out the amount of the theft
about $40.

wrecking his own business embez
zling other peoples money and com

in half a dozen other large concerns
Men came from other states to buy ol
him. and he sold in ear load lots. The
elevator company appeared to be in
Ia flourishing condition, and no thor
ough investigation OF the books was
ever made. Other members OF the

and Agar cashed them and bought
grain from farmers and dealers.
SO smoothly We're things kept rum

days after Agar.s disappearance in

picion of a shortage was entertained.

WEST URGES
QUICK ACTION
TO SAVE

The much discussed report made
: by Prof L. Haworth, state geologisl
of Kansas, to the public utilities com
mission OF Kansas City, Mo. IN re-
gard to the gas supply in the mid
continent field, is given prominent
place in the motion filed in the Unit
ed states supreme court by Attorney
General Charles West for an advance
ment by the court of the Oklahoma
gas piping cases.
Attorney General West had con
tended in former pieadings that un-
less the matter were hastened To a
decision the cause of action would
be removed, in that the gas wouls be
piped from the state so thoroughly
/ that there would not be enough left
TO fight over. This contention is sup
ported by two of the conclusions
reached by Professor Haworth in his
report, in which he says:
The properties of the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company particularly. aid of
other pipe-line companies generally,
are handled in manner which tends
to shorten unnecessarily the life Of
the field and ultimately reduce the
profits of the companies.
"Shond the present methods OF
handling properties and. gas be con
tinued, two more winters, or three at
most. is as long rs we may expect
gas TO be delivered to Kansas City in
sufficient quantities to equal present
domestic consumption, unles future
of new gas far exceed
present Indications"
On account of these two conclu
sions. Professo. Haworth's eport
was made the object of a bitter at
tack by the gas producers in Oklaho-
ma, who claimed that conditions had
been exaggerated Haworth stood his
ground but claimed that equaf from
inence should be given TO his last
three conclusions. which had not
been so generously quoted.
Should gas be denied all factories
and reserved strictly for domestic
use. and should gas properties be
handled in a scientific manner, the
entire community now reached by all
pipe lines should have a satisfactory
supply for from FIVE to seven years.
Further Developments should ma
terially add to the present gas supply,
but no substantial facts are at hand
the discovery Of new fields
within reach Of Kansas City at all
commensurate with those already de-
veloped.
conditions now are such that the
human element enters into the prob
lem of gas delivery about as much
as does the supply of gas, which rem
ders all estimates for the future
more untrustwerthy than they you'd
were this problem OF ordinary es-
timation.
The Haworth report, covering
more than sixty pages, is printed In
