when the migration is the heaviest
One man can tend to one-half to three
fourth of mile of barrier. The bugs
usually begin to cross about 4 O'CLOCK
in the afternoon and reach the maxi
mum between and 6 o'clock. On
cool days the movement begins
earlier. A few bugs are sure to get
across the barrier and infest the ad-
jacent fields. These may be destroyed
by soap spray of eight pounds of
laundry soap dissolved in 50 gallons
of water, or by flaming the infested
plants with the gasoline torch. The
methods described have been very
effective on the college farm.
During recent years numerous tests
have been made with the fungous dis
ease which destroys chinch bugs and
other insects in large numbers every
year. The results seem to indicate
that this disease is only effective
when the climatic conditions are right.
The experts at the agricultural col
lege recommend that farmers do not
attempt to introduce this fungous into
their fields.

lege, remained alive during the win
ter and will continue their destruc-
tive work this summer. Unless some
steps are taken by farmers to safe
guard their crops, the loss will be
greater than 1t was last year, Pro-
lessor Dean says.
Several methods may be used sue
cessfully to arrest their migration.
These should be put into force be-
fore the early crops have matured.
After the bugs have once entered the
small grain fields there is no way to
prevent injury, but it is entirely pos
sible to keep them from passing into
the. corn, kafr and sorghum.
The dust barrier and the road-oil
barrier are methods commonly used
to destroy the bugs. The first is use
.ful in dry weather and the latter
when the soil is wet. A dust barrier
is made by plowing a strip of ground
about ten feet wide between the in
tested and the non-infested fields and

by listing deep furrow and then
dragging with heavy log. The bugs
fall into these burrows when they pass
from one field to another and may be
destroyed by gasoline torch or by
dragging log through the furrows.
The torch is more effective.
The road-oil barrier is constructed
by plowing sharp back furrow be-
tween the fields and working up "a
ridge on this by dragging a trough
over 1t. On the bottom Of the trough
a pole Is placed which will leave
groove on top Of the compact ridge.
No. Z road-oil is placed in this groove
in sufficient quantity to make a line
one-half to three-fourths Of an inch
wide. After the bugs have fallen into
the groove they may be destroyed by
the gasoline torch. Coal tar can be
substituted for road-oil but 1t is more
expensive and must be renewed more
frequently. The road-oil barrier is
for use in wet weather when the dust
barrier is useless. 1t should be placed
between the dust barrier and the non
infested fields.
The migration Of chinch bugs from
wheat to corn fields usually lasts from
one to two weeks, and during this
time should be stationed with
torches along the barriers at the time

NATIONAL AID FOR THE PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
IBy W. s. Gearhart State Highway Engineer.l

In general, can see very little JUS
: tifcation for national aid for high
. ways, except the following:
Cd 1t would encourage states that
{ have not heretofore taken part in the
movement to enter upon highway con-
struction.
(2). 1t would create a coherent sys-
tenn of through travelled roads, of in
terest not only to the states individ-
ually, but to adjoining states, and pos
sfbly in some few cases, to several
states
(3) II would distribute the cost
in such a way that construction might
be encouraged because the cost was
not all paid directly.
(4 1t would standardize highway
construction if an efficient national
commission we're formed, and would
lead to better and more uniform con-
struction.
Too many persons favor national
aid because it seems to give some
thing for nothing, and not because
the scheme they suggest is equitable
or because more economical results
Will be obtained. 1t has seldom been
found that the expenditures OF spe
cial appropriations under government
auspices has been actually economical
or that their distribution has beer
based on fairness or equity.
i have no sympathy with the idea
of national aid for highways in the
form of a Jackpot" for political dis
tribution (such as the Rivers and Har
bors and Public Buildings appropria
tions), as it seemingly commonly de
manded, and do not believe that thu
cost of these highways will be an!
less because the cost is collected in
directly by &he general government
feel that it y sound principle tha
those who get the benefits should pa,
the larger share of the cost, and be
lieye that any law formulated shoul
he along such lines as will give a

approximately fair distribution OF
cost between the units benefited.
The plea often made that automo-
biles from other states pass through
certain states to the detriment OF
their highways is not an effective
plea to the thinking man, since au.
tomobiles passing through a state
leave much more money behind than
they destroy in the value of road sur.
facings, and it is felt that each state.
as a general proposition, should be
willing to build its roads so that tour
ist traffic would be encouraged. Ma
tional aid would, however, produce
Quickening of this construction on
the main lines, and without doubt
would be of value in this regard.
