Energetic measures against the
chinch bugs which threaten injury not
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 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 mild winter and are gen
orally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat and rye fields, breed
ing In considerable numbers In the
st. Louis neighborhood early In May.
The farmers, it is said, have been
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.
It 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

aim TO ANALYzE
MARKET REPORTS
Bulk of Sales Quotations Are
Likely to Prove Confusing
to Many Farmers.

Attractive Prices.

Bulk of sales" quotations appear

likely to prove confusing to the farm
er who attempts to keep himself in
formed on selling conditions, yet a
present-day market report would not
be complete without such quotations.
If the farmer confines his attention
only to bulk" and top sales, and
ignores the factors of quality and
weight in the market receipts, he is
almost sure to form a wrong opinion
of the actual market conditions, say
market specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
May Vary From Day to Day.
Bulk of sales figures should always
be studied in conjunction with the
quotations on grades which are based
on weight and quality. The bulk of
sales figures may vary widely from
day to day without indicating that the
market is unstable. This situation
frequently arises from limited trade
in low-grade hogs on the same day
that high-grade animals are finding
ready sale. The bulk of sales quota
ton for such day will reach rela.
lively high figure. On the following
day larger number of low-grade ami
mails may be included In the sales and
the higher grades neglected, with the
result that the bulk of sales quota
lions will be far below that of the
preceding report. On sessions wher
the average quality Of the animals Of
fered is low the bulk of sales report
will reflect this condition, and the
farmer who has animals ready fol
shipment may be misled as to the
actual state of affairs, unless he takes
into account the other factors which
have an important bearing. Because
the bulk of sales report from one mar
ket is much lower than that from an
other city he may decide to ship hi
product to the market which appear
to offer the highest prices. AS mat
ter Of fact, for the grade that he ha
to offer, the market quoting the lowe
bulk figures may offer the higher pric
to him. 1t is undoubtedly true tina

of low bulk Of sales reports to depres

To be of practical use to the farmer,
the bulk of sales quotations must be
considered with the knowledge of what
Is being offered for hogs of various
grades and qualities. Studied in this
way the bulk of sales reports are of
material value. for they show the quail
ity and grades that make up the prin-

more lucid idea of general trade con.

Not Break Down at Trial

her husband, Daniel Kaber, may know
her fate tomorrow night.
The defense rested it's case this
afternoon after Mrs. Kaber had re-
fused to come into court voluntarily
to submit to examination by physicians
to determine her mental condition and
to talk even to her counsel.
Rebuttal testimony Of the States

the defense is expected to be COM
pleted by noon tomorrow. Arguments
by counsel then will follow. Each side
has been allotted two hours and less
time may be consumed, counsel indi-
Gated. The court then will charge the
jury and send it to its room for de-
liberation on verdict
Mrs. Kaber did not testify. Her
counsel said they did not believe she
could stand the ordeal of taking the
witness stand, though two physicians
Mrs. Kaber's attitude in refusing to
submit to examination, talk or come
into court caused delay. On being
advised of her physical condition,
Judge Bernon ordered her brought into
the courtroom, forcibly if necessary.
She was brought in by two bailiffs who
partly carried her. She exhibited no
signs of fainting aster being brought
in, though she had suffered hysterical
fainting spell during the noon hour in
her cell.
Decision not to have Mrs. Kaber tes-
tify, though her counsel had main
tanned ever since the trial started that
she would take the witness stand and
tell of alleged habits of her husband
which, they contended in their state
ment of the case, augmented her state

Three witnesses to-day testified that
they believed Mrs. Kaber insane. They
were DR.. James c. Hassel, an alienist

sister and a religious practitioner.
DR.. Charles W. Stone, an alienist for
the state, said it was his opinion that
Mrs. Kaber was sane when she is al
legged to have planned the murder Of

to Shotwell he and Detective Devaney
had a confidential talk. Finn testified:
"Devaney said: We have man, this
man Kleist that you have met around
| here. He is profes sional lobbyist up
at Albany. He also is very big man
with the GUIDE Company and the Van

permanent if they were in the depart
ment March 15, and would receive the
salary Of a. first grade detective, which
was $780,"
Finn also testified that Devaney said
to him:
"Now this man is very high priced
and he tells us that he will lobby for
this bill for us if we can guarantee
him $4,000. He won't charge us cent
for his efforts except he is successful
in having the bill passed and having it
signed by both the Mayor and the Gov
ernor, and if the bill is not passed why
this $4,000 will come back

went over and called on Mr.. Shot

like that very badly. I will do all in
my power to help you. ! will give you

"'No, you are not loaning me this
money. Devaney and Conkling are
handling this thing all the way through
with Mr.. Kleist. Why not make it a
business proposition and see that they
give you the necessary security? You
could lay of little on the interest,
