Judging from the numerous com

seems evident that the chinch bug is
threatening next years crops. over
the state generally the chinch bugs

spring, and with the unusually dry
summer just passed these increased
abundantly.
They seem to be most abundant in
the central part of the state. Through
out most of the corn and wheat belts
OF the state there are probably enough
bugs to cause severe outbreaks next
year, If weather conditions should be
especially favorable for them. A
dry fall, mild winter, with but little
snow and rain, followed by a dry

which will favor the pest. The chinch

able summer just passed, but with
plenty of rainfall and snow during the
fall, winter, and spring, the chances
viii be decidedly against outbreaks
next summer.
Since it is not possible to knew what
the fall, winter, and spring may have
in store in the way of favorable or
unfavorable weather, every farmer
should do everything possible to re-
duce the chance OF chinch-bug in
juries next summer by getting rid OF
favorable winter quarters. They winter
in dry, protected places, such as mead
ows, pastures, and waste lands, in
woods, neglected fence rows, and sim
liar places. Very few winter in corn
fields or in wheat fields. After killing
frosts have come, select a dry day
when there is not too much wind and
burn over fields, woods, and other ia
vorable winter quarters. The heat
will kill many of the bugs and expose
the rest to the winter and to natural
enemies. This pest can be fought sue
cessfully at only two times during the
year, namely: while clustered in win.
ter quarters, and while migrating from
wheat to corn in the summer. Now is
the time to get ready to fight the pest
while in winter quarters and prevent
1t from proving destructive next year

SPECIAL ATTENTION TO OIL
In Getting Farm Machinery Ready for
Work Look Carefully to Lubrica-
ton of Wearing Parts.

In getting the machinery ready for
farm operations, Prof. II. C. Ram
sower of the agricultural engineering
department, Ohio State university,
urges that special attention be given
to the fabrication of all wearing parts.
"a full Oil can to every machine" is
the way he states It. Especially on
new machinery and the farm tractor
does the use of oil become important.
Make sure that all oil holes, wei,
pumps, grease cups and bearings are
thoroughly cleaned Of dirt, grit, paint,
and foreign matter before the holes
are filed, so that waste matter can
not be carried into the bearings. Clean
wool or cotton placed in cups will
Keep out sand and grit. 1t is a good
practice to use a mixture of equal

be sprinkled two or three times daily
