University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. One form has black and
yellow longitudinal stripes while an
other common form is slate colored
with three light stripes. In the grub
stage the yellow and black striped one
is beneficial by feeding on the eggs of
grasshoppers. However. when they
emerge in swarms they do much dam
age to garden and truck crops or at
times even to field crops. Grasshop-
per eggs were abundant during the
past winter and spring, so the bis
ter beetles had plenty Of food for de-
veloping and are now appearing in
great numbers.
To prevent trouble from these bee
ties, resort to driving, using dry dust
and brushy limbs to drive them out of
other crops. Where abundant enough
to warrant it, coal oil may be sprayed
or sprinkled on them as they are driv-
en- along paths or between crops. Poi
son sprays do not kill this type of
pest quick enough to save the crop
where a heavy swarm of beetles is
present. Shaking the beetles from
plants into pan of water with a lay
err of coal oil is effective where the
swarm of beetles is small.

BUY FERTILIZERS
EARLY FOR FALL USE

The general decentralization of trans
portation following the war makes it
important that fertilizers for fall
wheat be ordered early. There are al
so indications of an actual shortage
of fertilizer material because OF
transportation difficulties. reports the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture. Fertilizer companies are
having difficulty assembling raw ma
terial at manufacturing points and as
result there is probability that
some farmers will be disappointed in
securing fertilizer for fall wheat.
They should, therefore. place their Or
ders at once, either through local
dealers or in farm groups, so that a
certain delivery may be expected.
There is little doubt that wheat will
bring good price for the next two
or three years and the use Of ferti-
lizers will continue to pay good pro-
fits, even at slightly increased prices
of these materials.

PIG CLUB WORK STARTED
IN JOHNSON COUNTY

A big piece of work for Johnson
county was the organizing and start
ing Of pig club at Centerview. Well
bred gifts were purchased by the bank,
and the boys and girls who were en-
rolled in the club came to Centerview
to receive their pigs and instructions.
Twenty-six pigs were distributed to as
many boys and girls.
This form of club work was some
what new in this community and it
was only through the untiring efforts
Of the cashier Of the bank, and the
county agent that enough members
were secured for the organization of
such a club. The bank is taking a
personal interest In this move and is
lending the boys and girls money at
six per cent for twelve months in Or
der that they may make a success in
this undertaking.

INSANE HOSPITALS
FACE CRISIS

Superintendents and Boards of
Managers of the four state hospitals
for the insane are confronted with a
serious condition that is in no wise a
theory. 1t is the uncomfortable po-
sition Of not being able to make
"both ends meet" The appropria-
tons made by the last General AS
sembly for these four great institu-
tons will be short" by considerable
amounts of being sufficient to pro-
vide support and maintenance until
the close of the current biennial peri.
cd. They must be operated. They
cannot be shut down and the pa
tients sent home. They must be fed
and cared for.
The difficulty confronting the men
in charge lies in the inhibition car
ried in each of the appropriation bills
against debts being contracted for
the institution in excess of the appro-
priations made for their support for
the years 1919-1920.
Representative of the four hospi-
tails conferred with Governor Gard
ner during the past week relative to
the situation. Under normal condi-
tons, or at prices that prevailed for
food, coal, clothing and other neces-
sites when the appropriations were
made fifteen or sixteen months ago
they might have been eked out, but
not with constantly climbing advances
in the cost of everything.
The hospitals must be financed in
some way and the plans that were dis
cussed at the conference will event
ually solve the problem until the next
Legislature can relieve the situation
by making additional appropriations.

January to July, 1918, amounted to
13,000000 pesetas. during the same
period in 1919 exploration of these ar

FIGHTS CHINCH BUGS

Corn in Jasper county is very prom
Using and the farmers are putting up
hard fight to keep the chinch bugs
out of it. Under the directions of the
county agent tho farmers have used
the dust ditch as the principal weap-
on. Many farmers use two bitches on
the attacked side of the field; one of
the bitches being about five rows in
the field. Tho bugs passing the first
ditch and getting into these five rows
of corn are sprayed with kerosene
emulsion. This method of defense
seems to work very successfully.

OF all our exports, copper is the one,

many lines that 1t is vital to Europe
in peace as well as in war.
Copper has greater stability Of
price than the average man realizes.
From 1850 to 1918 inclusive Ia period
of 80 years) the average price Of cop
per metal was 1909 cents a pound.
II rose to 55 cents pound for while
during 1864. Before the panic Of
1893 had passed it fell lin 1880 to
cents; but the price of 26 cents, at
which It was sold in 1918 is a fair re-

NATION WITHOUT BREAD-LINE

~At this hour, from the Atlantic to

The foregoing words were uttered by
George NJ. Reynolds, president of the
Continental and Commercial National
Bank Of Chicago, perhaps the second
largest banking institution in the
country.
Mr.. Reynolds was talking to a staff
correspondent Of the Washington Star

purpose of putting under way a
movement 10 secure the restoration TO
the mountain states of their dominion
of the public lands. The News is not
an advocate of system of wasteful-
ness by which the waters of the land
shall be wasted for lack of conserva-
tion or the minerals and timber be
handed over to the speculator, but the
presen. system of federal domination
of the public domain is blocking the
march of progress, putting the west
forever at the mercy of the east.
The west has natural advantages
which the east once had and wasted,
and because of that waste the govern
ment today proposes to hold the west
forever in bondage for the general
good OF the country. And out of that
policy has grown a system of espion-
ageand prosecution which has held
the west back decade and will pre-
vent anything like development. The
water power which lies in the streams
is non-productive because of the
strings the government has on it. The
tremendous mineral, oil and timber re-
sources are not being fairly developed
because the government has chosen
stagnant conservation rather than leg
itimate development.
The resultant disadvantage to the
west cannot be overestimated. Our
production is not advancing as il
should; We are not the factor in the
worlds markets that we might be If
a less stringent policy were adopted.
The retardation of development of
natural resources has resulted in a
proportionate retardation in railroad
development, and the west is isolated
as result. 1t is always the victim
of every plan which originates east of
the Mississippi, for the east is provin-
cial in the extreme and hesitates to be-
lieve that the west is worthy Of con-
sideration in its plans.
An intolerable bureaucracy, built
up under Roosevelt and strengthened
under Taft, has brought about the
present conditions of sectional stagna-
tion. 1t can only be remedied by the
most violent protest Of the state. No
man in the state knows more about
the situation than does Representative
Taylor and his remarks to his COL
leaguse in the House few days ago
were both timely and pertinent. The
west has been governed long enough
by the east. There may be some nee
essity for protection against the raw
age of our forest and mines and wells
and streams, but there is no demand
for protection which goes to the ex-
tent of absolute prohibition against
development ut time when the world
Is crying for raw materials.
