Will Kill Them.

A rumor has been making the rounds
that the grain dealers of Kansas will
take some action relative to attempt

Rumor also had it that the bugs are

err and a member of the E. NJ. Jolley
Grain Co. stated this afternoon that in
the first place the chinch bugs are
doing no damage, and in the second
place there is nothing to be done this
time of the year. These bugs have
survived the winter and their function
now is to lay eggs. If the weather
is favorable to their Matching there will
probably be good sized crop of young
bugs in the course of a few weeks.
If the atmosphere is damp and chilly
