A Shower of chinch Bugs
We were not aware that 1t ever

story told by T. H. Parks. entomolo-
gist of the Ohio university. We quote
from a letter just to-hand:
1t rained chinch bugs in Marion
one day late last month when county
agents of that region met to make
plans for keeping the pest out of the
corn. The chinches were passing
from the woods to the wheat at that
time. In the wheat they are expected
to do little damage, but about July
T. throughout all of the corn-produc-
ing part of Ohio, they will leave the
wheat and march on the corn.
A tar barrier of some sort is the
only way to keep them out of the
corn. County agents know how such
barriers are made and certain farm
bureau members in a number of Ohio
corn-raising counties have agreed to
lay down demonstration barriers in
their home townships"

ton on adjacent plots all the varie-
ties of oats, wheat, barley and SOY
beans that are grown in America may
be seen and compared by field day
