Plan to Foil Chinch Bugs

Columbus, Kansas, May H.
Planting strips of cane as a
tramp crop" between wheat and
corn fields as the best means OF
fighting chinch bugs is urged by
H. E. Smith, government ento-
mologist, who is here after max
ing a survey of conditions in
Oklahoma and Southeast Kansas.
Cane planted now, he says,
will be grown by wheat harvest.
The bugs then will invade it on
their way from the wheat to the
corn. By blowing the cane un-
der deep and dragging the bugs
will be disposed of.

A car Of Ford autos at
Hoods.

Our farmer friends bave now
reached the point where they
virtually admit that the prospect
for a big wheat crop is the best
ever seen in this section. The
bugs were enough to scare them
for a time, but the recent rains
did damage to the little bugs and
the eggs, and if nothing further
happens to the wheat it is going
TO yield heavily. Oats are COM
ing along nicely, too. Corn IS
tlp all over the country, and is a
good stand, Grass is coming as
fast as it is possible for it to
come, and it is singularly free OF
weeds so far.
