"Chinch bugs IAN still be controlled
in many cases and the important
thing is that all farmers have the
remedies for their determination on
hand" said A. Gorrell agricultural
advisor in telling the methods Of rid
ding fields of these pests.
when the bugs leave the wheat
and oat fields and cover the first dozen
rows of corr it is not too late to con-
trl them. If however, they are found
scattered thinly throughout the field
the situation sens hopeless.
THE remedy is very simple: put
kerosent emulsion on the bugs with
a sprayer or by pouring on the stalks.
It is made as follows: Dissolve VI
pound of soap in a gallon Of hot water
pour in slowly 2 gallons of coal oil
and stir vigorously. One gallon Of
this should be mixed with from 5 to 8
gallons of water and applied freely.
THE systematic use of this will
exterminate the bugs.

drastic measures must be employed
later. For the larger washes it be-
comes, necessary to use brush dams,
preferably of Usage orange or cedar,
or to pillow them in and seed them to
a quick growing crop like wheat, oats,
rye or millet which viii hold the
ground and sed it to grass at the
same time. A light top dressing of
