Kansas Farmers Should Prepare Swat the Chinc

Secretary Mohler of the State Board of
Agriculture states that the reports of the
Boards correspondents indicate that our old
friend ..the chinch bug is with US in large
numbers this year, particularly in the east
ern portion of the state 1t is quite likely
that the heavy rains in May have put some
thing of a quietus their activities, and
doubtless multitudes of bugs have been
drowned.
However, it is well to remember the habits
of the chinch bug, though, and devote some
time to fortifying against bug invasion of
the Kansas corn fields when the wheat is cut
and no longer affords feed for them AS is
well known, it is the habit of the chinch bug
to move on the when the harvester cuts
the wheat. In Europe, both the Germans and
the allies are making use of trenches in fight
ing. Experience has demonstrated that
trenches, if properly constructed, are just as
advantageous in fighting chinch bugs as they
in fighting of military character.
Prof. s. ]. Hunter entomologist at Kansas
State University, has prepared an interesting
bulletin chinch bug control, which is re-
produced below:
THE chinch bug is closely associated with
the growing of small grains. Chief among
these is wheat Its well known habit of leav-
ing the wheat at cutting time and entering
the corn, and the effects of such entrance are
familiar to the grain grower
AT the time of wheat cutting the Young
chinch bugs have not yet developed wings
and it is during this time that they can be
best destroyed Plate shows ridge formed

this barrier, since in the dust they keep falling
back.
"A barrier of this kind, therefore, placed
between a wheat field and corn field as
shown in the accompanying illustrations pre-
vents the entrance of these young insects into
the corn If at this time few stalks of corn
are thrown on the wheat field side, the insects
will gather there in large numbers and can be
destroyed either by sprinking with coal oil or
the use of a gasoline torch Now should a
heavy rain occur, making this ridge less eff
fective for a few days, then tar line as
shown in plate |, be made first by drag
ging 2x4 six feet long, on the under side of
which fork handle or round pole of similar
dimensions has been nailed This forms a
track or groove to hold road oil or coal tar
This barrier should be turned back on the
wheat field for several rods at each end to
prevent the bugs from crowding around the
ends.
These measures, to be effective, must be
completed before the bugs have started to
into the corn. This migration some
times takes place even before the wheat is cut
and the farmer should be alert to have the
ridge prepared before the bugs begin to leave
the wheat
1T is, however, possible, by following the
above directions, with comparatively small
labor to starve to death practically all of the
bugs raised in wheat fields 1t is in the wing
less stage that the most damage is done If
permitted to live they will soon become
winged and fly the farm to produce

by throwing together two burrows and then
placing thereon a sort of inverted trough made
in accordance with the accompanying sketch
plate II. This trough pulverizes the ridge,
and the slanting 2x4 the inside elevates the
powdered dirt to the highest point. 1t is inn
possible for the wingless insects to crawl over

BOIL WEEVIL DISPERSION.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 15.-The
unusual storms of August and the
very rapid multiplication of the boil
weevil in Texas have resulted in q
tremendous movement into northwest
ern Texas and Oklahoma. This move
ment is probably not yet completed,
nor has it been entirely mapped out.
The indications are that over half
| of the State of Oklahoma is now (Oct.
III infested. Information has just
been received that the boil weevil is
at Vernon in Wilbarger county, Texas
and at Cache in Comanche county and
Minco in the extreme northern part of
Grady county, Oklahoma. Unless inn
mediate measures are taken by the
planters throughout Oklahoma anu
northwestern Texas it can be expect
ed that the boil weevil will do some
damage next year.
The Bureau of Entomology advises
that the planters throughout Okla
homa and the supposedly infested sec
tions of Texas begin Immediately to
plants. BY destroying the plants the
developing weevils will be killed. Two
methods of destruction are available
If the plants can be plowed under to
a or 5 inches this is the most desir-
able method of procedure, otherwise
they should be stacked in windrows
and burned as soon as dry.
After destroying the plants prepa-
ration should be made for winter
cover crop and for rotation of crops
next year.
The weevil has maintained it's posi-
tion in Arkansas and has probably ex..
tended its area little farther north
in the western portions. The entire
State of Mississippi is infested, and
the weevil is now known to be in Nc
Marry and Hardin counties, Tenn. Ten
nessee planters along the entire south
ern border should take the same pre-
cautions that have been recommended
to Oklahoma planters.
Probably only four or five counties
in the mountainous sections of north
eastern Alabama will escape infesta-
tion by the boil weevil this year. Over
80 counties in western Georgia are al
ready known to be infested and there
is no doubt but that five more will be
recorded soon. Planters in Georgia
and Alabama, whether in infested
counties or not, should take immediate
measures to destroy the cotton stalks,
and prepare the fields for winter COW
er crops.

NATURE WARNS
Against Using CalOmel.

The sickening, nauseating feeling
that follows the use of calomel is the
natural result of disarranging your
entire system. Doctors everywhere

the body sick and weakened.
LIV-VER-LAX is wonderful sub
stitute for calomel, that has all of
it's good effects and none of its bad
ones. 1t acts soothingly but thorough

THE JOURNEY.

Look! Upward scars the sun upon
his way.
Leave thy soft couch; o ne tier
stop nor stay;
But run thy course beneath the fee
ing orb;
Uplift with toll the dross of thy
poor clay.
Yet, when the day-god at the zenith
stands,
Linger a while, review the feeting
sands,
And, meath the shade of some thick
leaved tree
Enjoy the fruits of thy two humble
hands.
Haste! Rise again; thy shining guide
descends
Though weary be the path, the roao
extends
To rest unbroken, to sleep of peace,
Der which the dying beam glory
bends.

ROAD EXPENDITURES
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
This State is Far Behind Most Others
in the Amount Spent and in Good
Roads Legislation.

Clemson College, Oct 1S.-There
are now only four States in the union
that have not enacted laws providing
for State aid for good roads work. One
of these States is South Carolina, the
others being Indiana, Mississippi and
Texas. These three other States, how
ever, are above South Carolina in ex-
penditures for road work. Indeed, ac-
cording to information which has
been received at Clemson College from
the United States department of agri-
culture, this State cannot boast of it's
record in road work and is considera-
bly, behind most of the other States of
the union in this respect.
In 1914, South Carolina spent
81 100000 on road work, this money
coming from local funds of counties,
townships and districts. There were
no expenditures by the State and local
units jointly, or by the State alone.
In the same period, Indiana spent
$13,253,761 and Iowa spent $11, $685.
900. Nor does South Carolina COM
pare well with even the other South
ern States. AS against this States
81 100000, North Carolina spent $3,>
100000, Georgia, $2,5OO,OOO; Ala
bama, $2,795,000; Mississippi, $780,
900; Tennessee, $2,5OOOOO; Texas, 49,
100000. In fact, the only States on
the list which are not above South,
Carolina in road expenditures are the
undeveloped States of Arizona, Ne
vada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyom-
ing, and the diminutive common
wealths of Delaware, Rhode Island and
Vermont.
The total of all surfaced roads in
South Carolina is 4,888 miles. In this
respect, the State compares favorably
with many, since it's percentage of
surfaced roads is 17.3, making it the
thirteenth State in the union in per-
centage of surfaced roads. Three
States, Ohio, Indiana and New York,
contain nearly one-third of all the sur
faced roads in the United States, with
a mileage of $77,544.
New York has spent $50, ,729 on
it's roads and is spending $15,O00,00O
more on them in 1915. This, it should
be understood, is the amount spent by
the State government and does not in
clude the huge expenditures by local
units

Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse the stomach, remove the sour,

liver and carry out of the system all
the constipated waste matter and
poison in the bowels.

KILLED AT HIS POST.
Sidney Cohen, Sacrifice to the Public
Welfare.

Sidney Cohen, whose young life
was swept out on torrent of passion,
in which he had no share, died at his
post of duty. He was the vicarious sac
rifice of the public which he faith
fully served as a reporter for the
press. The lamentable tragedy of his
death is enhanced by it's mere waste
fulness. Defenseless and unoffending,
he was stricken down in a conflict
from which he stood wholly apart.
A finely equipped, admirably bal
anced and right thinking man, of high
character and attainment, he had al
ready made record in his profession
and effort beyond it. For the past 13
months he had been on the staff of
The Evening Post and had made 81
enviable place for himself in the com>
munity to which he was native and
whose interests were dear to him. An
intelligent and discriminating observer
and faithful and accurate reporter,
he had fine gift of expression that
gave to even his routine work a dis
tinction above the average of news
paper writing. He was, too, stu
dent of original purpose, and had done
some useful research and historical
work. Only within the past month a
monograph he had written on ante
bellum publications was published by
the University of South Carolina, his
alma mater. In his swift and tragic
death a most promising career has
been cut short.
Quiet and reserved, he was yet on.
of the most charming of companions.
Considerate, unobtrusive, self-respect-
ing and idealistic, having fine sense
of proportion and an appreciative and
expressive humor. he was held in es-
TEEN and friendship in a wide circle
and in deep affection by his intimates.
In the Office of The Evening Post he
had high place and his colleagues
here mourn him deeply and will ever
cherish the memory of his bright
mpany.-Charlesto Evening Post.
