Elton Thorn Under Arrest.

Elton Thorp, II years old, formerly
Of Mexico, is under arrest at Car
rollton, ILL.,, for the murder of Lloyd
Witworth II, whom Thorp is alleged
to have stabbed to death on May End
at Whitehall, Ill. The trouble be-
tween Thorp and Witworth is said
to have arisen over their mutual in
fatuation for Helen Mancell, IA years
old. 1t is said the boys began quar-
reling in her presence and the stab
bing resulted. Witworth died as min
utes afterward. Thorp was arrested
and placed in the Carrollton jail. He
is the son Of Edward Thorp, section
foreman on the Alton.

The dust barriers in dry weather
and the chemical barriers in damp
weather should be used to fight the
chineh bug. The simplest dust bar
rier consists Of one or more parallel
bitches in which a log is kept moving.
A plowed strip well stirred is also
good. For chemical barriers, first
make a path with a hoe and run a
narrow line of tar, road oil, stock dip,
or similar repellant along the path.
Renew it often at first TO keep it
fresh.
Elder W. P. Hardesty paid our Of
flee a pleasant call Monday on his re-
turn from "Berea" Church in Monroe
Co. He reports crops are looking
fine and prospects are very good for
a bumper yield. He also says the
electric railroad is being pushed rap
idly, about one mile yet to be graded,
to reach Santa Fe. 1The citizens are
anxious and j~ubilantly awaiting its
early completion" he said,-"a grant
thing for opening up of a large ter
ritory 50 long in need of an outlet.
Surely Mexico will reap a great benz
eft therefrom. Now it is up to Per-
ry to hustle around and fill up the
short space existing between those
two points. They ought to wake up
to the situation confronting them. Be
optimistic, gentlemen, and go forward
or else die In the old rut."
Lee Duncan, formerly secretary Of
the Audrain County Farm Bureau,
has been appointed secretary 10
"Farmer" E. W. Rusk, who is farm
agent of Adams County, Ill. Mr..
Duncan went to Quincy, Friday nigh,
TO take up his new work. This is
quite a compliment to Mr.. Duncan,
who is a splendid young man, and will
mean an increase over the salary he
received in Mexico.
A warning to Missouri farmers not
to pillow up the yellow streaks in
their wheat was voiced by Jewell
Mayes, secretary of the state boarl
Of agriculture.
There is an undue alarm over the
chinch bug in some localities" he
said. "The yellow condition of the
wheat is probably due to a cutworm
that worked last fall, and which has
since disappeared. Personally, | do
not remember that chinch bugs ever
ruined a wheat crop in Missouri.
Later on, if the fears prove good, the
wheat may be plowed up, with plenty
of time to make a crop of s~oybeans,
cowpeas or millet. To pillow up now
maye be turning under dollars, for
the wheat crop promises to be worth
more to the farmers Of the state than
last years bumper yield"

Stock Notes

Washington, D. C, May BIN
local areas Of Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Nebraska, the Hessian
fly. during the past fortnight, has
been found in large numbers in the
wheat fields, according to reports re-
ceived by the e~ntomologists Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Some farmers in southern
Kansas and Oklahoma have become
alarmed to the extent Of repIanting
their fields to corn. Whether the
wheat is infested to a degree to war
rant abandonment is difficult to
judge. However, it has been the ex-
perience Of many farmers that some
times wheat which has apparently
been killed by the Hessian fly will re-
tiller, or a few tillers which are not
infested will develop into especially
large heads and yield 8, 10 or per-
haps 20 bushels of wheat. For this
reason the farmer should be very
careful about blowing under his crop,
especially at this early date. II the
crop continues to fail to snow prog
ress for another 10 days, then it will
be time to plant kafr or corn, but
only provided the field is compara-
lively free from chinch bugs.
The experience of farmers in e r
tain localities where wheat has been
killed in other years by the Hessian
fly or freezes, and replanted to corn,
is, that such corn was often Destroy
ed by chineh bugs. Therefore, if the
farmer thinks his wheat will not be
worth harvesting, and desires to re-
plant it to>corn or kafir, he should in
vestigate very carefully to learn to
what extent the field is infested with
chinch bugs. If chinch bugs are not
present in large numbers and the
field is planted to corn, care must be
taken that all Of the wheat plants are
killed in order to destroy the Hessian
ny that are on these plants. The best
method for handling a field previous
ly destroyed by the fly appears to be
that of pasturing closely, and then
blowing under the stubble. However,
the plan of crop rotation may be such
as to make it more feasible to pillow
under the heavily infested wheat for
green manure, preparing the field for
seeding this fall.
Another method Of meeting the sit
uation is to pillow under the infested
wheat and plant the field to cowpeas.
Now is the time for farmers to or
ganize to clean up the Hessian fly.
After organization all stubble should
be burned and pIowed under before
the middle of July, and all volunteer
wheat narrowed out. Wheat may
then be sowed again this fall after
the hy-free-date.
