RECOMMENDS SNOW INFECTION

Topeka, July 3.-Gov. Hodges to-
day sent out instructions to the
state entomologists Of the university
and agricultural college to begin a
war upon chinch bugs, and he gave
instructions for them to draw upon
his contingent fund for whatever
expense might be incurred. The
recent increase of chinch bugs all
over the state. and their spread to
corn fields where serious damage
has been done, has alarmed farm
ers everywhere and attracted the
attention Of the governor.
The instructions to State Ento-
mologists Hunter of the university
and Dean of the agricultural col
lege carry the recommendation that
they employ the Snow chinch bug
infection as well as any other mea-
sures that local conditions make ad-
visable. The Snow remedy consists
of setting free bugs that have been
infected with a disease peculiar to
that insect. It has been demon
strated that the contagion spreads
rapidly among the bugs and Is eff
fective in reducing their numbers.
Numerous other ways of fighting
chinch bugs have been used with
varying degrees Of success. In some
localities farmers have been obliged
to burn pastures and fields Of
grain in order to save corn
fields adjoining.
There threatens to be incalcul-
able damage to corn, for which pros
poets are otherwise fine" Governor
Hodges said today, "for the chinch
bugs have been spreading rapidly
IN the past few weeks. At the rate
they seem to be multiplying now
hey will make a difference of mil
ions of bushels in the corn crop II
hey are not arrested. MY contin-
rent fund is at the disposal of the
state entomologists and am urg-
ng them to spare NO effotr in max

Removal Of Duty WIN KIN tho Bee.
Sugar Industry.
IS OPINION OF AN AUTHORITY
Manager OF Beet Sugar Company
Declares Factories WIN Close
Next Year II Reduction
Comes.

Syracuse, July 3.-According Il
e. H. Gerecke, manager OF the La
mar, Col, factory OF the American
Beet Sugar company. II the beet
sugar industry is forced out of ex'
istance in Ahe Colorado Arkansas
valley approximately 100000
annually will be taken from the
people OF that section. The same IL
true to a slightly lesser extent OF
the Kansas section of the valley, he
says.
"There are now approximately
SIS, 900 acres in the Colorado section
Of the valley devoted to sugar beet
raising" said Mr.. Gerecke. This
land, under present tariff conditions,
Is worth SIS per acre for beet rails
ing. With sugar on the free list
the company would have to close
down its mills and the land would
have to be put back into alfalfa,
for which 1t would be worth $40
per acre. There you are $4,125, 900
for beets, as against 81, 900 for
alfalfa.
1.-THE sugar beet industry annual
ly furnishes employment to about
5000 persons, distributing vast
amount of money for labor besides
that expended in the purchase Of
beets from the raiser. Under pres
emit conditions 1t will continue to
grow, but If the tariff is taken from
sugar 1t will shrivel and die. The
company will shut down its five
factories, as it will not operate them
at a loss"
These conditions in Colorado are
practically duplicated in the ex-
treme western part Of the Kansas
Arkansas valley and the beet rails
ing sections of both states are
watching the sugar tariff fight with
intense interest. Mr.. Gerecke
brought considerable encouragement
with statement that even II the
tariff should be taken off the COM
pany would buy the beets contract
ed for this season and run the mills
until they were consumed, though
he declared no factories would re-
open next year. He has been con-
nected with the industry more than
twenty years and is looked on in
this section as an authority.
