years. Seemingly, the r~eappearance
OF the chinch bug as a scourge is as
sociated with the periodical droughts.
Past records show that it also tends
10 move eastward. 1t usually first
appears as a pest in Kansas and in a
year Oh two begins to attract atten-
ton in Missouri, and later in the
states east to Ohio.
Record Of Present Outbreak.
This is the third year the present
outbreak has attracted attention in
Missouri, and even four years ago it
was at work in Kansas. Two years
ago it was scarce, though in some
cases it did injury to wheat in the
west-central counties of the state.
Last year it had advanced cro Mis-
souri, and was attracting attention in
Illinois. The main injury last year
was in the w~est-central counties,
though some occurred in central and
n~orth-central counties.
Development ard Life Cycle.
The chinch bug lives through the
winter as a mature insect in open
fields and meadows which are heavily
covered with sod and trash. 1t also
lives in woods, under leaves, in corn
shock, in straw, weedy fence rows
and other protected places. With a
mild winter like the past, practically
all the chinch bugs live through, and
are ready to fly in search of food in
early spring. They usually first at
tack wheat, though not in~frequently
they will injure the early corn.
These "winterover adults" suck SAL
from the plant for a time and then be
gin to lay small eggs at the base 81
wheat plants, and from these hatcf
small, active, red bugs which also be
gin sucking sap. AS a rule, these
young bugs are just about mature
when the wheat is cut, and, being de
priyed Of the sap of wheat plants
they move on foot to- cor fields
meadows and other growing crops
Those which reach corn soon com
plete their growth and lay eggs for {
second brood Of young, which feed OF
the sap of corn and mature and late
go into winter quarters.
What Can BE Done?
In the early part Of the year, whilt
the chinch Tugs are feeding upon tn,
wheat, the farmer must stand by ant
see his crops destroyed. But whei

For a Minute He Was conclIiatory.

TUT q WIlutC TIC was ScHIitiahSiya
This story is told by an old miner
just returned from Alaska: mike
and I we're prospecting far away from
camp when night overlook us. We
decided on a short cut. We came to
a canyon deep and narrow, and after
some delay we found a fallen tree
across the canyon. Mike stepped
boldly on and started to cross. The
bark scaled, almost causing him to
fall. He made another attempt; he
gingerly picked his way, muttering as
he went: Sure and Gods good, sure
and Gods good, and the devil amt
a bad fellow at all, at ALL He re-
peated this until safely on the other
side, where he turned and shaking
his fist at some imaginary foe ex-
claimed: 'Aw! g'wan wild the

Nutritious wild Rice.

The wild rice which grows in lakes
in the northern part of the United
States and in the southern part Of
Canada has a long black grain and is
quite different in many respects from
the true rice familiar to everybody
Wild rice is best known to many per
sons as a favorite food of wild ducks
and other water fowl, but 1t sells in
some cities at two or three times the
price of ordinary rice. 1t is consld
cred the most nutritious grain grown
In North America.

wheat but in fax, oats and barley, the
same splendid conditions obtained.
Rains in all parts of the country came
at the right time and the best Of

vailed in all parts.
The hay crop raj excellent. AL
falfa, clover and timothy grasses were
good, and many farmers are now cul-
tivating these splendid folders.
The homestead shack is giving place
to comfortable residences. Large
barns are being erected where the i'm
~provised log and mud stable gave shell
ter to the few head of cattle that the
early settler may have had in his pos
session. Fields are fenced, roads con-
structed and great fields of grain and
pasture land are always in evidence.
