Newspapers Print Much History.

The newspapers of Iowa not only
furnish a record of current events in
the state which will be used by future
historians, but they also contain a
great many historical items concern
ing past events in Iowa. The value
and importance of these items have
long been recognized by the State his
torical Society of Iowa, for in "The
Iowa Journal of History and Politics
there is department devoted to
Some Recent Historical Items in
Iowa Newspapers" Under this head.
ing in each issue there is list of the
historical articles which have ap-
peared during the preceding three
months, and in the January number
this list occupies four pages. The
State Historical society believes the
newspapers are doing an important
work in. thus preserving bits of local
history, biographical sketches and
other historical material which other
wise would be lost.

CHINcH BUGS DESTROYED.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 4-The
chinch bug, which in sixty years has
probably caused loss considerably
in excess of $3.50, 100000 to American
farmers, is more effectively destroy
ed during the winter months than lat
er when it has left its winter quarters,
according to the Department of Ag-
riculture. The burning of dry grass,
leaves and rubbish along the margin
of woods and fields is the best me-
thod of destroying the pest at this
season of the year.
The pest, which is distributed gen.
orally throughout the United States ex-
cept in the extreme west, has caused
particular damage to the staple grains
throughout the middle west The
greatest losses from the insect are
suffered in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken
lucky, North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Neb-
raska, Oklahoma and Texas The fact
that this bug causes such widespread
depredations makes this warming for
it's destruction during the winter of
very general Importance.
! The chinch bug when fully grown
is only about is inch in length and
may be less. 1t may be described as
| black with numerous hairs, also black.
The underwings are white. There
are two forms of the fully developed
insect, one with long wings and the
other with shorter wings. The short
wing form differs very much in habits
from the long wing form, the first
passing the winter in meadows, which
it usually attacks in preference to
grain crops. The other kind may be
observed flying about during Indian
summer in search of winter quarters
The short wing insects are not able
to fly and therefore cannot make such
extensive migratiOns to and from win
ter quarters. The chinch bug with
the short wings is found in abundance
only in the east The more dangerous

and the Appalachians.

destruction of the chinch bug. This
is particularly effective to the north.

grass is green and matted or occurs
along hedgerows and rail fences so
that it cannot be burned. Leaving
the ground bare of Vegetation permits
the bugs to be exposed to the winter
weather, and this kills them. It is
sometimes possible to clear out hedge
rows and along rail- fences, piling the
refuse to one side where it can be
burned later.

out sometime between now and spring

chinch bugs leave their winter quar-
tiers and take themselves to the fields.
In the southern part of the middle west

tive if done after February LIST and is
very effective if done in November or
December. Along with these preventa-
tive measures, all grass growing on
waste lands should be burned and es-

p,scouRAGlNG ExTRAvAGANcE

The national association of retail
grocers has voted to urge its mem
bers to discourage customers from
buying extravagantly.
This is a different spirit from re,
port just noted in a newspaper ex,
change from a near by city, that a
certain contractor had advised the
municipal government to enter on a
needlessly costly system of street
lighting. He argued that it would en-
courage people to buy what they
would otherwise not purchase!
Although the action taken by the
national body as quoted above is most
commendable, the problem how ex-
travagant popular habits are to be
checked is not an easy one. Few re-
tail merchants encourage the public
to buy beyond their needs. Almost
all purchasing is done hand to mouth.
The real cause of extravaganza is

the chinch bug before they enter the
young wheat in the early spring.
Once they have reached the wheat
they are not readily accessible. Most
of the bugs spend the winter in the
thick punches of clump forming grass
es in waste places, pasturea and
meadows along road sides and rail
road rights of way During late fall
and early winter great numbers OF
living bugs can be found on corn
husks, piles of katfircorn, etc. In the
spring, however, very few living bugs
but many dead ones may be found
in such situations. This seems to show
that the current belief that most bugs
pass the winter beneath such refuse
has no foundation in fact.
1t is very important when grass is
burned that it be dry and yet burn
slowly enough so that the heat will
penetrate the densest portions and
reach the bugs. The bugs need not
come in direct contact with the fire
MS burning in early fall and late
spring is not as effective as when
done during the winter, for green and
wet stems in the former seasons fur
nish protection to certain of the bugs
Even the most careful burning will
not reach the bugs under this condi
ton.
An important item in the destruc.
ton of these pests is the cooperation
of all the farmers in the neighborhood
1t is really an easy matter to fight
this pest II a whole neighborhood I'M

1t is the most fatal pest that attacks
grains. If it were not for the extreme
susceptibility of the very young bugs

for the fatal effect of certain parasitic

HOW BUREAU
Tells OF STORM
Government Forecasters Watch for
the Region Of Low Barometer
Which Is Storm Center.
UNEXPECTED CONDITIONS ARISE
Estimate Time in Which Storm Trav-
els According to Velocity and
Movement of Storm.

Washington, d. C. Feb. 3,-Many
people have an idea that there is
something mysterious and occult a
bout the work of the Weather Bureau
in forecasting the coming of storms,
frosts and floods. Not few think
that the observers must necessarily
get their data by reading the planets,
the stars and the moon. AS matter
of fact the forecaster of the Bureau
fOretells the coming of disturbances
in a businesslike way, very similar
similar to that in which man who
has ordered shipment of goods would
estimate the date of it's arrival.
Suppose business man had ordered
q car load of pineapples from the Ha-
waiian Islands. He would know the
average number of days to be allowed
er to make the trip to the Pacific port,
the average time for unloading and
loading into refrigerator cars, and the
average number of days to be allowed
these cars for the trip across the con-
tinent to New York. His estimate,
however, would be subject to error
because the steamship might be de-
layed by fog, or the cars might meet
with an accident.
Storms, like pineapples, as a rule
do not originate in the United States.
They come to US. some from the Phil
lipines Japan, Siberia Alaska, Canada
or the Gulf of Mexico, The Weather
Bureau gets cable, telegraphic or wire
less notice of foreign storm. Sta
ton after station, or vessel after YES
sci reports the storms arrival in its
neighborhood, so that the general di-
REGION and rate of progress can be
determined very early. In fact, the
arrival of some storms can be fore
told ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the re-
gion of low barometer which is the
storm center around which the winds
blow. This whirl or eddy moves bod
lily forward with the general east
ward drift of about $50 miles a day
in our ATTITUDES. As the lines of equal
pressure Csobars) around the low cen
ter crowd closer together, the winds
attending the storm increase in force.
The forecaster determines the direc-
ton of movement of the storm and
its velocity.
When weather disturbances are re-
ported, the forecasters know from ex-
perience about how long 1t takes them
to reach our Pacific Coast, and then
how long after they will reach the
Atlantic Coast. For example. II a

=, JAMES B. NEYN

If attorneys generally in Georgia
fully understood that to make last
minute applications for respites and
clemency in capital cases, after delib-
erately disregarded opportunity to APP
pear before the Prison Commission,
actually prejudiced their cases in the
executive eye and raised inevitably
presumption Of questionable methods
in the executive mind, there doubt
less would be less of that sort Of
thing in the State.
That Governor Slaton feels very
strongly and deeply the injustice to
him frequently involved in these last
minute appeals, is not doubted in the
least by those who talk with him up
on that subject from time to time.
Recently an attorney appeared be-
fore the Governor in behalf of a
client condemned TO death and asked
respite, Notwithstanding the fact
that the criminal concerned had been
under sentence of death for two
months and his sentence affirmed, and
two meetings of the Prison Board
had been lightly passed by without
any word as TO clemency being ut
tered. And II is a matter of record In
Georgia that one criminal was respit
ed seven times by the questionable
process of permitting Prison Board
meetings to pass and then appealing
to the Governor frantically at the last
minute!
When an attorney deliberately per
Ill 80 tnA
Prison Board to pass without ac-
ton. and then rushes to the Governor
within few days of the proposed ex-
ecution with petition for respite,
the Governor not unnaturally thinks
he is being trified with-or worse.
There may be occasional extreme
cases in which these last minute APP
peals have merit, but as a rule the
Governor views them with suspicion
and merely as attempts to gain a
little further delay in execution.
Occasionally lawyer informs the
Governor that he was 'in ignorance OF
the rule" and what the Governor then
says to that lawyer never makes him
feel at all comfortable
The Governor earnestly requests all
parties having clemency matters in
mind to obtain from the Prison Com
tplSsion the rules governing the dis
position of the same. He has stated
his very firm determination in the flu
ture to adhere strictly to those rules,
and not to vary from them save In the
gravest emergencies.
The Nashville Herald Predicts that
Congressman Randall Walker will
be re-elected to Congress without OPP
position" but that hardly seems pos
sible with Senator w. l.. Converse, of
Lowndes, actually in the race as an
avowed and open candidate, and with

however that Senator Converse is
in the race to stay, and that he will

with, moreover!
DR. f. j. Benson, OF Wilkerson Coun-
ty, Wednesday set a most excellent eX-
ample TO other Confederate Veterans in
Georgia, when he tackled an Identified

at Gettysburg, and which in after years
was returned to the State to be kept on

DIR Benson was the color bearer OF the
Forty eighth Georgia Infantry at the
battle of Gettysburg, and it was in the
thick OF that fight that he lost the col
org. Later, at a big reunion at Chatts-
nooga, he met the Union soldier who,
picked up the colors after the battle, and
this was the man who returned them.

been suggested that the flags be treated

Legislative candidates, both for the

Under the rotation system, the com

generally each new Senate contains a

DefauIting Of Debts, Resigns
and Leaves Post.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, Jan 15.-Francisco de la
Barra, Mexican Minister to France,
to-day cabled his resignation to Pres
ident Huerta and left for Switzerland.
He took this action after protesting
against the determination of the Mex
lean Government to default on its
payments to foreign nations.
Senior de Ia Barra has played a
prominent part IN the diplomatic at
fairs of Mexico since Huerta became
President, and his retirement is ex
pected to hasten the fall of the Mex
lean dictator. De la Barra, while ac-
credited to the French Government,
also was sent as special envoy to
Japan and received an enthusiastic
greeting at Toxic in anti American
circles. He returned here recently
and renewed his efforts to secure a
loan from Partisan bankers. Accord
ing to his friends, he believes he
would have succeeded had Huerta
not interfered.
De la Barra succeeded Porfirio DiaZ
as Provisional President, and served
until President Madero took Office. He
also served as Minister of Foreign At
fairs and as Ambassador to the
United States.
