KEEP BUGS OUT OF coRN
Timely Suggestions for the Con-
troll of Chinch Bugs.

From counties east, west and
north of the States center come
reports that cinch bugs are
swarming in the wheat. Where
ever the great burning campaign
last winter covered large areas
most of the bugs were killed,
but there are many spots left
with heavy infestation. In this
emergency an encouraging sug-
gestion comes from A. C. Bur-
rill, of the Missouri College of
Agriculture, who says that
something can be done against
the bugs almost every month in
the year. Admittedly there is
no economical way to kill the
bugs in a June wheat field. Corn
and cane are the crops to be pro-
tected now.
For fields now being planted,
U. S. Farmers Bulletin 1928,
just off the press, urges the
seeding of a trap crop between
infested grain and the border of
newly planted corn and sor-
ghum fields. This should be
sown at once, one or two drill
rows wide, so as to be four to
six inches high at wheat har-
vest. After wheat cutting, the
bugs will fall upon this green
crop and can then be plowed un-
der or killed with kerosene or
oil emulsions.
Another way to beat the bug
is to give up the idea of plant
ing corn near heavily infested
land, using instead a legume,
rape or sunlowers. Farmers
who still are planting corn be-
tween rains can proftably plant
soybeans or cowpeas on five or
ten acres of the cornfield near
the bugs. A strip of these
will make a dense shade and will
discourage the bugs from mi
grating further toward the corn.

Corn Yields Decrease With Deep
Stirring Of Soil.

The cultivation of corn revolv-
es mainly around the factor of
killing weeds, in addition to
keeping the soil in condition to
receive and retain rainfall. The
latter factor is important on thin
soils that become hard and bake
easily, a condition that facili-
tates the loss of soil moisture.
Ordinarily only sufficient cult
walton necessary to kill weeds
gives the maximum yields. Add
itional cultivation either in
depth or number of times does
not pay, on the average, for the
extra expense, especially on the
better soils.
Experiments by the Missouri
Experiment Station, according
to D. W. Frear, extension spec
ialist in field crops, gave 1913
bushels of corn per acre where
the only cultivation was to
scrape the surface of the ground
with a hoe to kill weeds, 3O.l
bushels from shallow cultivation
and 1876 bushels from deep Gull
tivation of 5-inch average depth.
This shows the decided advant-
age of shallow cultivation.
Shallow late cultivation which
included two more civilizations
than the other methods report
ed gave an average yield of 27.7
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1922-06-02
bushels, a gain of Al bushels
over deep civilizations.

over deep civilizations.
Deep cultivation seldom pays
at any time, but if practiced
should be early in the season be-
fore quantities of roots grow
near the surface. Cultivating
deep late in the season only, de-
stroys surface roots causing a
set back to the plant from which
it never fully RECEIVERS, and is
especially injurious during peri
DDS of drought when the reduc-
ton in yield often amounts to
10 and Is per cent.
A cultivator with a larger
number of shovels run shallow
is preferable to one with a few
shovels which run deep in order
to stir the soil and kill weeds.
Narrowing once before the
corn is up and again before
large enough to cultivate is the
best way to get ahead of weeds.
In addition this breaks up the
crust, serving to dry and warm
the soil and reduces the danger
of damage from insects, mice
and birds. Some reduction in
stand usually results but this is
easily Offset by the advantages
gained.
Cultivation before the corn
up by following the plant
er rows is not uncommon in
sections and may obviate
the necessity of narrowing.

ROPER EXPOSES SOME
GANG POLL TRICKS
Shows How Easy II ls for an inde.
pendent Candidate to Be Cheated

Gang methods in stealing elections
hy fraud,lpntly marking ballots were
s1posed yesterday by Councilman w.
". Roper. director Of the Philadelphia
campaign for the nomination of Gif-
ford Pnchot. Republican candidate for
Governor. Mr.. Ropcr's statement was
made in connection with the warning
given to all Pinchot workers at the
POLLS, which was intended to supple.
ment information given to the women
At the school of watchers.
"So.called public sentiment" said
Councilman Roper. 'has no terrors for
the man who is thoroughly acquainted
with the inside tricks of the election
machine. A good counter can carry
his division invariably. I have been
asked to tell some of the methods
whereby independent majorities are
converted into organization pluralities,
and here nre some of them:
First. The lead pencil trick, as I,
Is called. consists in furnishing plain
lead pencils instead of ballot crayOns
to the voters during the day. The
mark made on the ballot by the cleo.
ton crayon cannot be erased without
showing evidence of tampering. where.
as the mark made with an ordinary
lead pencil can be easily erased with a
soft rubber.
Second. After the polls are closed
and during the course Of the count an
expert worker can invalidate fair per-
centage OF votes cast for particular
Office by making additional marks for
other candidates for the same Office.
Third. Those who take chance
upon the contents Of the ballot box
being at variance with the return, pull
the trick by having the independent
watcher count a few of the votes on a
separate table on the plea that il sew
eral make the count the count can be
expedited. In this way the Independent
watcher cannot follow the man who is
counting incorrectly and no has no
means of knowing that the vote as
called out is accurate.
Fourth. Another favorite trick is to
nave a confederate call the independent
watcher on the telephone. so as to take
him out of the polling place for five or
zen minutes just as the count starts

 PROVE UNWIELDY.
May Withhold Campaign Funds From Independent
 Members of Congress
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The AEe-Hernld.
 300 Davidson RuildInE.

Washington, January 8.-(Speetal) The situation at the capitol insofar as republican solidarity is concerned. Is so chaotic that managers are con sidering the adoption of Indirect bribery with money In order to se- cure the enactment of major admin istration measures.
 That startling fact Is revealed by Representative Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, chairman of the congressional executive committee of the republican party He admits, in an interview. that the executive committee is con- sdering the adoption of a plan whereby financial support In cam paigns will be withheld from those republicans who sometimes conduct themselves with independence. If they behave, they will get the money; otherwise, they must run for re-elec- ton without sinews of war.
 "1t Is true,' said MT. Fess-with- out blush or a blinking eye-"that the members of our executive com mittee have under consideration now 9 proposal that campaign funds be withheld from republicans who will not stand with the organization on party measures
 For the most part the republicans who have voted with democrats against party measures come from districts that are either normally democratic or republican by small majoritles. Their votes In many in- stances are attributed to desire to satisfy the democratic element of their constituencies.
 "On the other hand, most of the members of our executive committee come from the big contributing states of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio. They do not feel that the funds collected there should be sent
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-09

into other states to help elect men who will not stand with the party after they have been elected. The question whether these funds shall be withheld in the fights for re-elec- tion has not been decided one way or the other as yet"
 It Is the understanding that tho Fess program will De carried out in effect but not in letter. In other words, when the independents asS for aid. they will not be refused and the real reason cited On the con- trary, they will be refused with the explanation that there is no money. The independents, who hail chiefly from agricultural districts. will be permitted to hustle for themselves.
 The republican managers consider their majority unwieldy. They do not seem to care whether they hold independents or not. The chances are that they will not.

 Do what?"
 Just what the other girls do. You'll take your vanity box-some even take their makeup boxes-and when the lights go up between acts you will scrutinize yourself In its mirror and put an extra bit of calcimine on your nose which had altogether too much before"
