GREEN BUG DAMAGE
is GENERAL
Federal Experts and County Agents
Survey Large Area For
Pest.

Joplin, April 13.-Inspection of
fields of Newton, Lawrence and Jasper
counties for green bug infestion and
to determine the extent of injury
already done by that pest to growing
winter wheat was made Monday. J.
r. Horton, federal entomologist with
headquarters at Wichita, J. H. H.
Mote, Jasper county agent, L. +.
Wormington, Newton county agent,
and Leslie L. Hunt, Lawrence county
agent, made the trip.
Some fields were found where
much wheat has been killed and
where the infestation is typical.
Others were noted where green bugs
had done little damage but still are
present. Green bugs were found in
aN fields examined, and as these in
ctluded the regions near Diamond,
Wentworth, Sarcoxie, Peirce City,
Mount Vernon and Carthage the pest
is general. In company with S. A.
Stuckey, Horton visited several fields
near Carl Junction Saturday after
noon and found many fields where
serious injury has resulted.
Little damage is expected to result
from this time on, the freeze having
checked the green bug and the warm
er days having encouraged his insect
enemies. Oats may be injured if cool
weather prevails. It is noted that the
pest was 10 to 20 times as numerous
i'm fields where volunteer oats had
mot been thoroughly killed off last
fall as in fields where the wheat was
sown clean.
A. C. Burrill, another government
entomoligist, will spend today in the
district studying green bug damages
and with view to finding the de-
velopment of chinch bugs and other
pests.

kidneys.

Mrs. NJ. C. Prevo, First and Scott

suffered quite bit with kidney
trouble. The worst source of COM
plant was a miserable backache.
There was a dull constant ache
through my back just over my kid
neys and often sharp pains would
dart through my kidneys. I could
tell the trouble was caused from my
kidneys as they acted very irregultrly.
