RANDOLPH SUFFERS
FROM CHINCH BUGS

WINCHESTER, Ind, June 2S.-Ran-
dolph county also is suffering from
the wide spread plague of chinch
bugs. They were noticed in numbers
on Sunday, the county agent r. A.
Fields, receiving seven telephone mes
sages Monday morning before eight
o'clock, reporting chinch bugs in all
corners Of the county.
Instructions issued by the county
agent for the campaign against the
pest, follow the usual advice of plow-
ing a furrow ahead of the bugs,
throwing the earth away from them,
running a line of creosote, or crude
oil along the top of the furrow, anil
digging postholes at intervals of 10
feet as traps. An additional precau-
ton consists in dragging a log along
the furrow to make it dusty and hard
for the bugs to travel in. The bugs
should be killed by occasional appli-
cation of kerosene when they are
caught in the holes.
The couny agent appeals for cooper
alton among the farmers, suggesting
that farmers should help check the
bugs on their neighbors' farms be
fore they get closer home

Say Agreed Price Cents
1t was said that in a joint session
of farmers and threshermen several
weeks ago an agreement was made
that the maximum rate for threshing
this year would be seven cents. The
farmers also charged that their side
of the case was not presented at the
meeting of threshermen held here last
week, but that the threshermen voted
blindly on the price fixed through the
influence of one man, who controlled
the meeting.

WILL BE BACK SOON

Unless there is a meteoric shower
some time Tuesday evening. the Pons-
Winnecke comet will have passed
through out solar system without so
much as ripple in the Milky Way in
its latest neighborly call Indications
at present are that the shower will
not develop as the comet is even now
reported to be headed for parts IN
known.
Separated from the earth by a scant
10000 miles at the point of nearest
approach, a number of interested ANA
teur astronomers were in hopes of
catching a glimpse of the comet this
year. Prof. E. D. Grant, of Earlham,
however, said Tuesday the comet is
of the twelfth magnitude and as such
cannot be distinguished by any local
telescopes.
The Pons-Winnecke comet will not
strike the earth this year or the next.
