OF financing and marketing the Egyp-
tian cotton crop. The Egyptian bale
of cotton has been accepted as the
worlds standard, and it Is a well
known fact that American cotton
growers are losing large sums of
money as a result of their failure
to properly bale and grade their cot
ton. 1t is even claimed that in the
United States one half of the real
value S the cotton crop is lost to
the farmers through poor selling
methods, and lack CT financial facili-
ties. In Egypt the government has
established the Bank of Egypt.
which has done much to assist the
cotton growers of that country in
the important task of financing their
crop. The sub committee will Sc

From almost every section of Ok
lahoma comes complaint about the
damage being done to the small grain
crops by chinch bugs. 1t is too late
now to do anything that will protect
the wheat and oats. After a field has
once become thoroughly infested it
is impossible to apply any remedy.
| If greater attention had been paid
last fall to the governors proclama-
! ton calling upon the farmers of the
state to destroy the alternating
places of The chinch bug, we would
not have been confronted with such
serious situation at this time. Our
attention from now on should be
turned altogether toward saving the
corn, milo and other sorghmms.
In the spring the adult chnch bugs
that have hibernated during the win
ter fly to their food plants. Most of
the danger to the corn and kafir corn.
however from the young bugs that
crawl from the green fields about
the time they begin to ripen. An ef-
fort should be made by all farmers
to check this invasion. In some bad
ly infested districts there is danger
of an almost entire loss of corn and
sorghum crops unless some effort is
made to hold the insects in check
Several methods are to be recon-
mended, but all of them require work,
and none of them are really effective
if they are not followed up persist
emily.
A strip OF land a rod or more wide
may be plowed between the corn or
kafir field and the point of invasion.
This will serve to check the crawling
bugs, if it is narrowed frequently |
so that a dry mulch is maintained |
The narrowing should he done during |
the hottest portion of the day Young
chinch bugs can not crawl in hot dry |
dust.
Where crude oil or tar is available
a good barrier could be made by run
ming a line Of this material around
the field to be protected, or by using
it in conjunction with the dust mulch
mentioned above. The oil or tar
must be renewed frequently, how
ever, during rainy or windy weather.
Some farmers give their crops good
protection by running a lister furrow
along the outside of the field, and
keeping the bottom and sides of the
furrow in a fine dust mulch state by
dragging a log or brush in the fur
row once or twice a day. The crude
oil may be made use of in connec-
ion with the lister furrow, by put
ing a line of it on the furrow ridge
lext to the field from which the
'hinch bugs are migrating.
Perhaps the most effective way to
guard against an invasion of the
'hinch bug is to sow a barrier crop
n sorghum around the field to be
This should be sown early
,nough in the season to assure
,ood heavy growth before the chinch

A large measure of protection may

good work against the Venice and

especially effective and has twice
gone the route without difficulty. He

his wildness and has also developed

record with the seconds shows no
wonderful pitching. He was logged
for fourteen safe blows by Venice last

all Callahan wanted to know. The
number of hits secured off Doc, mean
