Burn the Grass.

Manhattan, Kans., November ,. Ii
the farmers on every section of land
will cooperate in the burning of
bunch grass and big blue stem, 9S5 of
1000 chinch bugs wintering there can
be killed. The bugs are leaving the
corn fields now for their winter
homes along fence rows and in patches
of grass. Examination will show
where burning is necessary and CO.
operation with your neighbors will
make it an easy matter. November
is the time TO burn the grass.
Repeated experiments made by bug
men at the Kansas Agricultural
College in various sections of the
state show that fall burning is the
one certain way to prevent the posi-
bility of bug invasion the following
summer. But to make fall burning
successful, cooperation of farmers in
neighbOrhood is necessary If Jones
burns his grass and Smith, across the
road, doesn't, the bugs will emerge
from the Smith grass next spring and
attack crops Oh both farms.
A sweeping fire, or back fire or a
side fire may be used. The side and
back fires are used in burning over
meadows that have been kept moved
or where there is not heavy growth
of grass. In all cases the grass should
be burned as closely to the ground as
possible. The closer it is burned the
greater number of bugs are killed. If
the grass is burned to within one
inch of the crown 90 to 100 per cent
of chinch bugs are killed, expert
mentS show.

COL. T. r. is STILL ANGRY
He Says New York Papers Suppress
ed News Of His Campaign

Oyster Bay, n Y, March 31.-Col
Roosevelt reached home tonight from
his campaign trip through the central
states, which began last Tuesday
night. He spoke in eight states He
said that he was well pleased with
his trip and believed it would have
practical results.
Col. Roosevelt gave out statement
in which he said that a majority OF
the New York newspapers had sup
pressed news relating to his cam
paign and that on this account people
in New York did not realize chow
deeply stirred the country has been
by the infamy of the socalled primar
les on Tuesday last in this city" He
asserted that 1.-THE men who had Mr.
Taft's interests in New York in their
keeping, in the most bare-iaced man
ner cheated the people out of their
right to an honest vote"
The statement also referred tC
President Taft's speech in Philadel
phia last night:
Last night Mr.. Taft said that pros
perity was coming, and that We
should do nothing to check it," Col
Roosevelt said in the first place
| do not believe that permanent pros
perity will come through OF by dis
honesty; and in the next place be
lieve that this country cannot afford
to accept prosperity as the price OF
dishonesty and corruption such as we
have seen in the last few days"
Col Roosevelt said he was to re
main at Sycamore Hill until his de
parture on Tuesday for his campaign
trip into the South.

BRYAN WILL BOLT
Unless Platforms Of Both Parties are
Satisfactory

Washington. March 31.-That VIII
liam j. Bryan will bolt unless both
Presidential candidates and platform
are to his liking is the information
received tonight by several Western
Senators and Representatives high in
the councils OF the Democratic party.
This means that he will bolt the
nomination of either Judson Harmon
or Oscar w. Underwood. His declar-
alton that he would not go to Balti-
more II the Nebraska delegation was
for Harmon is, these congressman
say, the preliminary step. They do
not go so far as TO assert that Mr.
Bryan has entered into any negotia.
tons with the men who are threaten.
ing a bolt from the Republican party,
but they say their information is that
Mr.. Bryan will be quite willing to
form an alliance with any radical Re
publicans who may bolt the nomina-
ton of President Taft.
MIR. Bryan regretted bitterly the
position he assumed In the campaign
of 1904 when for the sake OF party
regularity he supported the candidacy
OF Alton b. Parker, and has told his
friends that he would never be put
In the same anomalous position again.
His own presidential ambitions being
out OF the way, there is nothing to
prevent his following his preferences
and he does not intend, II is said, to
support another Parker.
The peerless leader has already
said he would support either Wilson
or Clark, but Il is understood here
that, along with the Wilson managers,
he believes there Is practically con.
spiraoy between Clark, Harmon and
Underwood. to prevent the New Jer-
sey governor from getting the neces'
sary two.thirds OF the delegates to
the Baltimore convention. Particu-
larry is this true In the South, ac'
cording to Wilson headquarters.
