TRAP CHINCH BUGS
BY FLOWING FURR0W
Insects Find It Easier to Crawl
Along Bottom Than Climb
Sides-AIso Dig Holes.

Trom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The time to strike at chinch bugs is
before they begin their migrations
from fields Of wheat, rye, or barley,
about harvest time, into the corn. Be
on guard for them. Their presence in
these crops often is hard to detect,
because the damage they do in such
fields is obscure or Of 10 apparent i'm
portance. 1t is important that the
bugs be discovered before they begin
to crawl toward the cornfields, ento-
n%ologists in the United States depart
ment of agriculture say, for the corn
then can be protected and the migrat-
ing insects trapped in the following
way:
llow a deep furrow along the edge
of the field, running the land side Of
the pillow toward the field to be pro-
tected. In dry weather the sides of
the furrow can be made so smooth and
so steep that the bugs will find it
easier to crawl along the bottom than
to climb up the sides. Circular holes
from 80 to 40 feet apart, made with a
post-hole digger, may then be dug in
the bottom of the trench. Into these
holes the bugs will fall in large num-
bers, where they may be killed easily
by s%prinkling kerosene oil over them.
A log dragged back and forth along
the furrow is useful in keeping the
bottom and sides in good condition
during dry weather.
Spraying for chinch bugs has not
proved successful, except on a small
scale and when conducted by an ex-
pert, the difficulty being that the SUBJ
stances which kill the bugs are al
most sure to kill the corn also. The
thing to do is to discover the bugs
before they reach the ORR and keep
them out Of it by the methods de-
scribed above.
Additional information regarding the
chinch bug is contained in Farmers
Bulletin G57, which can be secured free
rom the department Of agriculture.

Above all these considerations, how

VALUE OF MUSIC
IN ASSIMILATING
THE ALIEN SHOWN!

For more than a century this coun-
try has been making the experiment
of welding into one united people rep
resentatives OF all the races of all
the world.
We have been called the great
melting pot and have congratulated
ourselves that fusion of the elements
was proceeding merrily until a world
war swooped down and revealed the
fact that some OF our ingredients
were not amslgamated after all.
Now arises the question. What have
we put into the pot or what have we
left out OF it that we should be fall
ing short OF our L Pluribus Unum
ideal? The time has come when We
should in all seriousness ask our
selves what We have done or what we
are doing to make the incoming alien
| feel al home with us and to establish
him in frsternal relationship with
American citizens.
A few Federal safeguards against
falling into criminal hands and some
not always wise attentions from char
liable societies, and then is he not
left for the most part to find his own
way toward American citizenship?
Small wonder that he loses the rigLt
path oftentimes and falls into the
hands OF demagogues or, more natu-
rally. combining with his own race,
stands apart among us, forever an
alien at heart and bequeathing the
! alien spirit to his children.

DIstruat Of An Aliens.

Even the casual observer who has
lived in the different sections OF this
country must become aware OF the
unpleasant fact that the average
American regards the alien of what
ever race with dislike. distrust and
suspicion. Such terms as ''greasers."
coon" "daEo" and so forth become
impressed on our children, and they
grow up in the attitude of mind which
these epithets reflect. It is the irony
OF fate. apparently, that this land, es-
tablished as a home for all the peo-
pies OF the world. should harbor a
greater race antipathy than can be
found in any other country.
The alien. on mis- part. has his rea-
sons for despising Americans and
one OF the chief of these is the lack
OF true appreciation in the average
American for music.
Now, OF course, music has a big
place in American life. so big that we
spend approximately 7OO.O0O.OOO n
year on II, but, nevertheless, 1t is not
in the life of the people in any such
measure as II is found in other cOun-
tries. Most OF our immigrants are
from lands where music has long
been recognized as a nationalizing
force and used as such. and these
people come to US full OF the music OF
their native land.
Most especially is IT true Of the
Germans that they are keenly alive to
good music, even II they are unedu-
Gated. Naturally their impulse has
been, on arrival here. to gather at
once into musical societies Of their
own people. thus keeping alive
through music and language the spirit
and love of the Fatherland Could
we not trace TO this source much Of
the hyphenated Americanism which
is SO disturbing to our peace OF mind

Influence of Singing Glasses.

Influence of Singing Glasses.
Now. II these incoming strangers
could be gathered as quickly as pos
sible after they come TO our shores
into community singing classes in
English several good influences would
be set at work. In the first place.
music would make these aliens feel
more at home and would lessen their
longing for the land they left be
hind. Time and again IT has been the
testimony OF immigrants that their
chief reason for homesIckness in
America was the lack OF music-music
for the people, free as they had II at
home, or so cheap as to be easily
within their reach.
In the next place, they would come
into contact more quickly in such
community classes with our Ameri-
can citizens, for their is nothing like
music to bring together people Of
different nationFlitics and promote
in them comradeship and feeling Of
unity. Music is the one universal
language for high ard low, rich and
poor. and the paople OF every race
and tongue. Would IL not seem, then,
ing the people OF q democracy?
Furthermore, these singing classes
would help foreigners to learn Eng
lish more quickly and TO love IL bet
ter, associated with music which
they already love. anu through both
their affection 3nd patriotism for
their adopted country would be stim-
ulated. Anyone Who has tried learn
ing a foreign language in a foreign
land knows the benefit to be gained
from attending opera or choral con-
certs, or better yet, from Joining, II
possible, a chorus. Music helps fix
in mind the lanYu"gC under way, and
adds materially - the interest and
zeal OF the study.
Unity of Effort Promoted.
Moreover. musical training, espe-
cialIy in singing classes, promotes
physical strength. obedience to lead
ership, unity Of effort, self-control,
and enthusiasm in a common cause
qualities, everyone. necessary to good
citizenship either In war or peace.
The compulsory military training pro-
posed for our schools might very
well be supplemented by work in
music-to be compulsory also.
II was a part OF the wisdom of
Bismarck TO foreSee that the unity
and strength OF the German people
could be effected largely through
music. Should we not adopt this wis
dom In our work Of unifying AmeFi-
ca? Not for the end to which Ger.
man unity has Deen applied-God
