Prices are falling on silks, steel,

price of mules is advancing steadily.
In the Middle West mules are about
the only commodity that is holding its

Alfred C. Burrill of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service College of
Agriculture, Columbia, Mo-, is in
Mexico and will devote two days
chiefly to the problem Of the chinch
bug in Audrain County. Mr.. Burrill
has just come from Stoddard County
where he found the banner aggrega-
ton of chinch bugs, by COM
p~utation 100000 in a half
mile of fence row. The farmer
upon whose land the colony was found
had lost 1000 bushels of corn to the
pest last fall.
"Chinch bugs do not like leghumes",
said Mr.. Burrill, "but | eve knew
before that they were shy of the
ghost of leghumes. This farmer had
rlanted cow peas which he had turn
| cd under before planting his corn,
There was a distinct line of demar-
cation where the peas had been plant
ed, and that acreage was not touched
by the chinch bug, while all the rest
Of the field had been ravaged.
Gas for the banner aggregation, ii
took $35 expenditure for oil ant
sprayer, and the whole teeming mass
of bugs was knocked out by burning
saving $500 worth Of corn. The cos
of exterminating the pest is not ont
per cent of the value saved. The biz
business man sees such an argumen
in a hurry and acts Immediately. Th'
new farmer is a big business man
and you do not have to plead with
him to expend a little energy an
money to save his crops" said MI
Burrill.
