The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Mr. R. B. Morrow, living on the
National road east Of town, owns a
farm on the western edge of Preble
county, on which the wheat has been
cut and threshed. He says that 1t
produced Is bushels per acre, and
that he knows of no higher yield In
his threshing ring. One OF his neigh
bors reports bushel less yield. The
chinch bug and the fly last fall, cut
down the output in that end of Preble
Mr. Morrow is active in Wayne
county federation matters and is presi-
dent of the Wayne township section OF
the farm bureau. Mrs. Morrow is be-
wailing the fact that she has the poor
est garden in her experience. They
were bothered some with various bugs
| last year., at the time of the advent
of the locusts, but raised lot OF
vegetables. She says bugs aren't
/ bothering them this summer and that
| there is very little in the garden for
| bugs to feed on, anyway.
| Chinch Bugs Not Numerous
| DR.. Meek of Arlington, retired from
practice some years ago and now do
| ing a little farming, with his son do
| ing the lifting, dropped in on us
Friday afternoon. In his opinion the
chinch bug has done no damage to
corn around Arlington, at least as yet,
although there are apparently few
in every corn field He does not anti
cipate any great loss of corn from the
coming brood, either. not believing
there can be many Matched out by the
comparatively few bugs now flying.
He says, however, that some years ago
he had an experience where chinch
bugs cleaned up lot of corn, imme-
diately after wheat was cut. In that
day his father. or others, had no pro-
cess or knowledge of how to put up a
fight. DR.. Meek owns another farm
2h miles south of Centerville, on
which 90 acres of wheat threshed out
but 240 bushels.
