CHINCH BUGBALK
AT CREOSOTE LINE
Ends Career When He TumbIes
Into Post Hole.

LAFAYETTE Ind, July IA narrow
line Of creosote oil with post holes every
rod or so apart has proved the most
effective weapon against the hordes of
chinch bugs which have invaded small
grain and corn fields in more than half
the counties OF the State the last week
or two. When used properly and be-
fore the bugs got into corn fields, the
remedy, which has been strongly recon-
mended by the entomology department
Of the Agricultural Experiment Station
at Purdue University, has proved 100 per
cent efficient. Prof J. J. Davis. head of
the department, has visited a number OF
counties and assisted county agents in
measures in infested areas and hundreds
Of farmers have used it.
Best results have been obtained by
blowing q furroW around the field, turn
ng the ground toward the field This
gave the bugs, which usually migrated
from a grain field, no stopping place and
they fell down the smooth side of the
furrow into the trench. A can with q
nail hole in the bottom was sufficient
to spread a narrow line of the creosote
oil near the brow of the loose dirt turned
over in the furrow. The line ran near
the post holes so that the bugs, in crawl
ing along the offensive barrier of creo-
sote would fall into the post holes from
which they could not get out.
Where the bugs have gotten into the
corn, spraying with Black Leaf 40, one
ounce 10 three gallons of water, has been
found the best remedy. One cubic inch
Of soap should be added to each gallon
of this spray material.
while the bugs have spent their force
in some counties, they will still cause
lot Of damage in many counties and con-
tinual work to control them is necessary
said Prof. Davis. AS they mature, they
get wings and will fly to neighboring
fields and lay eggs for a second brood Of
bugs which will scatter through the corn
later in the season. Every female killed
now will mean from 100 to 500 fewer bugs
in the second outbreak and probably as
many as 10000 next spring"
Prof. Davis declined to estimate the
losses caused by the bugs this year but
said it would run into the hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. He declares that
unless harmful conditions occur they will
be even worse next season as they have
been multiplying rapidly in the State
the last few years. Burning of fence rows
and other infested areas during the winter
will be necessary to stop them, he said,
