the winter months than later when
they have left their winter quarters.
The burning of dry grass. leaves and
rubbish along the margin of woods and
fields is the best method of destroying
the pest during winter weather.
The chinch bug Is distributed gen.
orally throughout the United States
except in the extreme West, and has
caused particular damage to the staple
grains throughout the Middle west.
The greatest losses from the insect
have been in Ohio Indiana, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Texas. The bug when
full grown is about one-fifth of an inch
in length. 1t is black with numerous
hairs. Pasturing sometimes aids in
the destruction Of the bug. This is
particularly effective to the north
ward in the Middle west, when the
grass is green and matted or occurs
along hedge rows and rail fences so
that 1t cannot be burned. Leaving the
ground bare OF vegetation permits the
bugs to be exposed to the winter
weather, which kills them. 1t is often
possible to clear out hedge rows and
along rail fences, piling the refuse to
one side where 1t can be burned later.
1t is most advisable to get rid of the
bugs before they enter the young
wheat in the early spring. Once they
have reached the wheat they are not
readily accessible. Most of them
spend the winter in the thick punches

New York, April 6.-Thurlow Weed Barnes today, through counsel. entered in the federal district court a bill of, par ticulars in his suit for commissions ag- gregating s3,000,00o for services claimed to have been rendered in connection with the sale of southern oil lands owned and controlled by Joseph C. Trees. Michael l.. Benedum, Harry s. Grayson and the J. C.. Trees Oil company.
 Barnes stated in the bill that, for the sale of the oil lands abroad, he entered into negotiations, through cablegrams and correspondence, with an official Of the Deutsche bank in Berlin and with a rep resentative of a syndicate. The course of the negotiations, Mir. Barnes declared, in dicated a reasonable probability that a sale could be effected for a sum in ex- cess of $10.000.
 Tn making the sale of the lands to the Standard oil company, the bill declared without the knowledge and consent of Barnes, and in violation of the agree ment entered into with him, the defen- dants exhibited cablegrams and correspon- dence relating to the progress of his negotiations abroad as an argument or threat to induce the Standard Oil com pany to make an immediate purchase of the property.
