WILL HOLD STOCK
Pawnee County Farmers See
Better Times Coming.
Benefit by Past Experience of
Former Prices.

Larned. Kan, Aug. 1S.-ThOugh
western Kansas cattlemen are facing
a bad feed shortage this winter many
of those who are more far sighted
have decided to hold their cattle and
profit by the market lessons learned
during 1911 and 1912. The drouth of
1911 made corn and feed scarce and
high during the following winter. Cat
tie markets were glutted. In 1912
the market went up but only those
who had held their cattle through the
winter profited by the high prices. The
lesson learned has caused many of the
larger cattle holders to discontinue
shipments at least for the present.
1t is believed here that the present
lull in the rush of cattle to eastern
markets from Pawnee and adjoining
come within the next two weeks. A
rain during that time would save much
of the corn for feed and insure con-
siderable kaffir. 1t would also cause
farmers to SOW their wheat early,
which would mean early and good
wheat pasture for stock and a staving
off of the expected food shortage as
long as the winter remained open. In
this belief cattlemen are going on the
theory that rain must come soon as
the precipitation in this section is
now over so per cent. behind the
twenty year average at this season of
the year.
Cattlemen are pitting experience
against the present drouths persist
ency but it is hardly a game of chance
as should rain not come in time to
pasturage the big herds can be
shipped to market before the coming
of winter and the exhaustion of the
food supply now on hand.

SHOOTING OVER MONEY.
BurIingame Man Killed in Quarrel
Lynching Feared.

Burlingame, Kan, Aug. 1S.-Thomas
Williams shot and killed Moses Will
liams here Sunday morning following
quarrel over lome money. The slayer
was arrested after he had run a block
from his home and taken to the city
Jail. He feared lynching, so was taken
to Lyndon by City Marshal J. A Reed
and lodged in the county Jail.
According to the story told by Thorn
as Williams, he and the dead man had
a quarrel sew" raj days ago over some
money. Moses followed Tom to the
latter's home and was ordered away
but flourished a knife as he replied:
Shoot me if you want to-
Tom grabbed a .3S Winchester rifle
and shot his .ictim the bullet going
through the breast and passing through
the body, emerging from the back. The
man died in d short time.
A brother of Tom and his brothers S
wife were in the house at the time. 1t
is understood the trouble resulted over
a crap game.
Coroner F. E. Schenck will hold an
inquest this week. Tom Williams was
u quarter breed Creek Indian and came
to Burlingame from Oklahoma about
three years ago Moses Williams has
been working on farm for ten years.

The old man started with horse and

banker told Mr.. Moffatt that he knew
of over $4,000 which the old gentleman
has out at interest. The 10 acres in

KILL CH|NCH BUGS
State EntOmOlOgist Finds VAL
liable Parasite.
Lays Its Eggs Inside Those OF
Kansas Pests.

Manhattan, Kan. Aug. 1S.-A bug
expert of the Kansas Agricultural col
Iege has discovered what entomolo-
gists long have sought-an insect
which destroys chinch bugs. The in
sect makes a business of destroying
chinch bug eggs by laying its own eggs
inside of those of the chinch bug.
The parasite has been found in every
wheat and corn field examined near
Manhattan. OF 3,101 chlnch bug eggs
collected between April 2S ana June
10. 21 per cent. were destroyed by the
parasite. of 116 eggs collected at
Crawford, Kan, 16 per cent were
parasitized.
1t is believed at the agricultural col
lege that this is the first parasite on
chinch bugs ever discovered. James
w McCulloch, assistant entomologist,
who found the new insect, sent specl-
mems to the United States department
of agriculture for Identification. Re
porting after an incomplete examina-
ton of the chinch bug destroyer, one
of the experts in that department gives
1t as his opinion that the new insect
represents not only new species, put
also a new genus. Two hundred ana
seventy-five of the new parasites nSHe 1S
been bred out at the college. The
length of the life cycle has been found
to vary from ten to eighteen days, de-
pending upon climatic conditions.
The college entomologists will con-
tinue investigations of the parasite and
will determine how widely it is dis
tributed in Kansas. If it proves TO
be present only in certain regions, and
if continued experimentation shows
that it is an efficient destroyer art1-
fetal distribution througout the state
will be undertaken by the agricultural
college. The new parasite is partic-
uIarly promising, G. A. Dean. state en-
tomologist at the Agricultural college,
saws. because of the high percentage
of parasitism in the eggs already in
yestigated An insect which destroys
90 per cent. of it's host is very efficient
Under wider distribution 1t is likely
that these parasites will destroy
larger per cent. of the chinch bugs,
Professor Dean says.

ALFALFA SEED CROP GOOD.
Republic County Farmers Thresh
Enormous Crops.

Norway, Kan, Aug. 1S.-The al
falfa seed crop in Republic county is
reported to be one of the best in
years. Besides getting an enormous
first crop and a fairly good second
crop of hay, the majority of farmers
are leaving the third crop for seed.
Dry weather, it is said, produces a
better seed crop than wet, hence this
has been an ideal year for securing
good seed crop, and in every locality
farmers are making the most of it,
realizing that it will be to their profit
later.
