Like the Muzzin's call to pray
er among the M~ohammedans,
the call to burn the chinch bug
is getting to be an annual affair
in Missouri. The chief silver
lining to our cloud of losses from
this arch pest of sucking bugs,
is the fact that the thorough
control work in several counties
is beginning to show up fine re-
suits by the utter rout of the
alien hosts Of suckers.
Old-timers say that in the
eighties the bugs were more nu-
merous than the present hordes
of the rest, and that fields we're
more completely ruined. But,
listen, there is more than twice
as many farmers and fields of
grain as then and the visible loss
need not be half as bad as then,
and still have the total money
loss greater than then. In 1874,
DR.. G. V. Riley computed the
Missouri loss as $19,0O0,0O. The
voluntary crop reporters Of Mis-
souri, sent in some 800 reports
on our 1920 loss to show II of
the wheat and 10 Of the corn
crop or over 18, 100000 bushels
were lost, besides much chaffy
corn greatly d~eteriorated as
farm feed at home. Before mar
ket dehation hit us this meant
twice the loss of 1874 in dollars
and cents. At the lower price
it meant 100000 Then
came the reduced epidemic in
wet 1921, or z to $4,000, 900
and now comes the 1922 loss
more severe, perhaps Is to
$25, OOO.O 900.
Fritz Tempel of Higginsville
anticipated a greater loss in
June, saying there were the
most bugs in 20 years. Later hi
said the post-harvest rains say.
ed much corn and halted the bus
loss. Luther H. Green of Odes
sa, was gloomy for a while al
to whether corn could survive.
Alvin Luederman of Concor
dia tells me the bugs took hal
of ten acres in corn near him
and many others have like tale
of woe. For instance, Herr,
Graf of Alma, Fred w. Bruins o
Concordia, R. L. Sass of Concor
cordia, r. L. Jennings of Hig
ginsville, A. P. Slusher Of Lex
ington, and William Sass of Con
cordia, all concur that the bug
are very bad and in most case
much worse than in 1920 or TO
many years. Mr.. Graf says h
is making slow progress in burn
ing out the bugs because it wi

more neighbors to make a 1000

Of bad bugs in so many other

Mr.. Chas. E. Filler of Odessa,
thinks it about time to sound
the call to arms in his district,
if there are to be any grain
crops saved next year. His ex-
perience with fighting grass
in Kansas, years ago,
may come in handy now, in
7nreading the gospel Of self
help among neighbors before it
it is too late. The group of in

at Dick Powell's farm would in
