"More Capacity
Less Horse Power"

Secretary Moher 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 uuietus on their activities, and
doubtless multitudes of bugs have been
drowned
However, it is we'll 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 corn when the harvester cuts
the wheat In Europe, both the Germans and
the allies are making use of trenches in hight
ing. Experience has demonstrated that
trenches. if properly constructed are just as
advantageous in fighting chinch bugs as they
are in fighting of military character.
Prof S. ]. Hunter, entomologlst at Kansas
State University, has prepared an interesting
bulletin on 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 we'll 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

Farmers Should Prepare Swat the Chnch Bug

this barrier since in the dust they keep falling
back
"A barrier of this kind, therefore, placed
shown in the accompanying illustrations, pre-
vents the entrance of these young insects into
the corn. If at this time a 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 sprinkling with coal oil or
the use of gasoline torch. Now, should
heavy rain occur, making this ridge less eff
fective for a few days, then tar line, as
shown in plate |, can be made first by drag
cling a 2x4 six feet long, on the under side of
which fork handle or round pole of similar
dimensions has been nailed. This forms
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
move 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 over the farm to produce
second crop.

The herd. which was condemned a
month ago after the animals became
infected with hoof and mouth disease.
was killed after every farmer and cat
tie owner within a radius of five miles
of the Barton farm had signed a petit
ton asking that the cattle be left in
quarantine. This was presented at
Washington by Robert ". Chiids. for
mer assistant district attorney and
son-in-law of Mr. Barton, but TO no

While the 200 animals at the farm

prize animals which contracted the
disease have been permitted to live
These SOC animals are now quartered

Delegation Says Aiiment Is Not Con-

600 Slaughtered.

Washington. Jan. S.-A special ex-
pert OF the bureau OF animal industry
Of the department of agriculture is
TO be sent into McHenry county Ill. to
see if it is not possible to stop the
slaughter of prize milk herds which
have become infected with the foot
aEd-mouth disease.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
NrOoman promised this TO a delegation
consisting OF Representative Copley
v. 5. Lumley of Woodstock and Ben
jamin GetzeIman of Algonquin. Dr.
Melvin. chief of the bureau. attended
the conference.
IL was stated to Mr.. Nrooman while
$50 dairy herds had been slaughtered
and more than S5,00O.0O0 worth of cat
tie destroyed, the disease had not
been stamped out through the plan
of the federal and state quarantine Of
ficers for killing and burying the in
fected animals. IL was shown that
herds of farms adjacent TO the farm
on which infected cattle were located
We're not infected. while herds miles
distant developed the disease The
plea was made. accordingly, that own
ers of infected herds be permitted to
isolate the infected cattle and try 10
cure them instead of being forced to
immediate slaughter.
Say Cures Are Possible.
Dr. Melvin and Mr.. Vrooman would
not give their Endorsement to this
plan but they promised to give it con-
sideration and will send into the dairy
district OF Illinois a special expert TO
study the situation from a new angle.
II is predicted that the wholesale
slaughter of injected cattle will be
stopped.
The McHenry county delegation
made no protest against the action of
the state or federal quarantine au
thorities. They based their appeal on
the belief that cures were possible. the
cured animal being restored to per-
feet condition both as mixer and
a breeder.

Nevertheless, it is apparent that only

The Withdrawals announced today

:. 1t is by no means certain that the
troops taken from suvla bay and An
zac will now be sent to the Balkan
area If they are, the reason un-
questionably must be the prevalence
of lively fear in London that the
Germans are to attack Saloniki end

There is an equal chance, however,
that the Suez canal Notifications need
