Another method is to pillow fur

not crawl out of it. In the case of
showcry weather when the sides OF
the furrOW IAN not be kept loose
and dry, tho bottom can be cleaned
out with shovel, making the sides
more perpendicular and tho bottom
smoother. The bugs will then fol-

casional season of heavy rains at the
right moment the chinch bug would
make it altogether Improbable to
raise grain year after year on the
same areas. Drenching rains during
the Matching season. however, prove
fatal to the young and such wet per-
iods are sufficiently frequent to keep
the numbers of the pest within
bounds
There are two forms of the ehinch
bug, known respectively as the long
wing and the short wing. The short
winged form occurs along the sea-
coast and inland along the lower lakes
to northern Illinois. The long
winged form is found all over the
country east of the Rocy Mountains
and is especially abundant in the
middle west, the section which suffers
the most from the chinch bug.
Methods OF Control.
The long-winged chinch bug has
two generations a year while it is
doubtful whether the short-wing has
one or two. The adult insects pass
the winter under clumps of broom
sedge, matted grass, leaves, or in fact

so it is important that the burning
be done in the early winter.
Migration of Bugs.
Where this precaution has been
neglected or where the negligence of
a neighbor has exposed farmer to
loss through no fault of his own,
there may be about midsummer n
great migration of tho bugs from
the wheat to the corn field. This
presents another favorable opportlln-
ity to destroy the pests. Various kinds
of barriers arc in use to t.'rn the in
NadinG army aside. One OF the most
satisfactory of these is said to be the
coal-tar' line supplemented with post
holes. The bugs will not cross the
coal-tar and moving alone the line
OF the barrier fall or arc crowded by
other bugs into the post holes. where
they can be killed at will AS the

BACKS FORD.

BACKS FORD. - 1t seems that a
great many people have made the
Ford automobile the object Of con-
siderable joke and ridicule. This car
is essentially the poor mans car. It
is not reasonable to suppose that if
we were all blessed with wealth we
would buy FOrds, but the cost of
maintenance is one of the consider
atoms in buying a car.
However, the purpose Of this letter
is not to advertise or boost the Ford,
but merely to say word concerning
the manufacturer. Too much praise
cannot be heaped- on Henry Ford.

LINcOLN'S GREAT MEMORIAL.
Please tell me something about the
Lincoln highway? Where does it be-
gin and end, and is it completed?
The Lincoln highway is the most
impressive of many memorials the
American people have raised to Abb
raham Lincoln. The idea of this me-
mortal which perpetuates Lincoln's
interest in the common people" or
iginated with Carl G. Fisher Of In
dianapolis. The Lincoln Highway as
sociation was organized with his aid
in 1913.
The national highway runs from
New York city across II states to its
termination in San Francisco. 1t is
1884 miles in length. 1t will cost
S25. 100000 and the expense will be
borne by the people of the states
through which the road and its many
branches pass. Nearly One-third Of
the highway is complete and the en-
tire road is already available for
traffic. It will be several years, how
ever. before the entire highway is
hard surfaced and boulevarded.
100000
It has been estimated that the
earth can maintain a population of
5000, 0OO,OO0-a total which will be
reached about A. D. 2100 at the pres
ent rate of increase.

Davenport, Aug. 20. special
resolution adopted by the Davenport
city council Wednesday night granted
the board of education to erect port
able building at Washington school to
be used as kindergarten during the
coming year. The request was granted
because representatives of the board
declared that a refusal would result
in the absence of many children from
school because Of lack of room or the
establishment of the kindergarten in
the basement OF the school, which was
far from desirable.
President Dahms and Director Bur-
roughs of the board were present at
the meeting and explained the need
for the building. Two Of them are al
ready III use, one at Monroe school
and the other at Tyler school. Both
are of the same type allowed in many

tirely satisfactory. Under the pro-
visions of the new building code the
