THREATEN CROPS
IN MANY STATES
Vigorous Measures Against At
tack Of Chinch Bugs Are
Urged by Federal Bureau.
MISSOURI REPORTS OUTBREAK
Severe Infestations in Central Missis-
sippi Valley Region From Texas
Northeasteriy to Illinois
and Michigan.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Energetic measures against the
only to the wheat and rye crops Of
Missouri but to corn as well are
urged by the bureau of entomology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in view of reports of an impend
ing outbreak of the pest in that state.
Widespread and severe infestations
of the pest are reported in the whole
central Mississippi valley region,
starting in northern Texas and ex-
tending in a nOrtheasterly direction
over Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri,
touching Nebraska, and extending
across Illinois and Indiana into Mich
igan.
Generally Distributed Through state.
The chinch bugs, latest advices say,
have had Il mild winter and are gen
orally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat ar; rye fields, breed
ing in considerable numbers in the
St Louis neighborhood early in May.

watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all of them do
not know yet that there is danger that
their corn may be damaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat is
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and the rains have
delayed the planting of corn.
The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be so backward that damage by
the bugs is likely to be very severe.
1t Is well to expect the bugs to begin
migrating to corn as soon as the wheat
butts begin to harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe.
Any barrier work or creosote repellant
line work should begin as the bugs
will migrate in increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The
binder will shake loose those not al
ready out and stragglers will continue
to migrate in serious numbers for five

sow two drill widths Of millet between
corn and the nearby fields Of wheat
and rye. The more quickly this Is
done the better. so as to make as good
growth as possible of this trap crop
before the bugs attack it. When the
bugs have migrated into the trap
crop it should be plowed seven or
more inches deep. Care must be
taken to plow deeply and well, then
to pack the ground with drag or
harrow or roller. Little time or work
is required to make this strip and the
cost Is small. 1t has hitherto been
found very profitable.

SEPARATE PENS FOR POULTRY
Not Wise Plan to Keep Geese, Ducks,
Chickens and Turkeys Together
in Same Yard.

1t pays to keep each variety of poul-
try to itself. Ducks and geese will
foul hen yard; geese will drive away
all others at feeding time and hog
everything. while young turkeys may
be killed by hens and roOsters. A
separate lot for each is best, and will
soon pay for itself in quicker growing
stock. In addition, it is more convent
ent to handle each when kept to itself.
Usually all that is necessary is an in
dividual feeding yard.

ment. 1t Is not merely to amuse. 1t
is not diversion for the I. b. m. and
nothing more. II serves deep
aesthetic purpose. Its influences are
more far reaching than any simple
minded purchaser OF ticket had ever
before thought But he can learn by
pondering over the words OF this Lon
don authority:
More important even than beauty OF
dress is beauty of person. For many
centuries the body has been neglected,
but now, fortunately. 1t is coming to its
own again. II musical comedy makes
young men and women dissatisfied witn
their own bodies It is having an educa-
tional influence OF incalculable value.
Apart from this. physical beauty has
an astonishing power OF refreshing the
mind. When / see a young girl or a
young man who Is really beautiful it Is
as refreshing and invigorating as wax
ing up In the country on a lovely spring
morning. The plot. the dressing and
the setting of a musical comedy should
all combine TO give us maximum OF
physical grace and beauty. In drama
physical beauty is subordinate to the
Characterization or the poetry. or should
be, although many plays are worth see
ing only for the frocks and the good
looks OF one or another player. In
musical drama both physical beauty
and poetry are subordinate to the
music; in ballet II Is music against
muscular development and the Russian
ballet Is curious plastic and decora-
tive art in which physical beauty has
no place at all"
Apart from the suspicion that the
writer may be dressmaker. there Is ut
least here a new angle from which one
may view musical comedy of every
kind. Such possibilities Of aesthetic
