Barriers of various kinds are one Of
the most effective ways Of controlling
chinch bugs at wheat harvest time
when they migrate from the smaller
grain fields to the rOw-crOp fields.
Countless millions of the bugs may

There are three periods, the bull

be destroyed most effectively: In No
vember and December, by burning or
blowing down their alternating places;
in May and June, by spraying in wheat
fields with oil-emulsion nicotine sui

ing by spraying in marginal rows of
corn, If necessary; and in September,
by blowing corn stubble deeply before
the bugs have gone to winter cover.
Chinch bugs spend the winter large
ly in bluestem and other bunch grasses
in pastures, neglected fields rOadsides,
sunny hill slopes, and similar unculti-
waited places. These should be burned
over in November and December, and
unused areas kept as clean as posi-

WISE TO BURN DEAD ANIMALS
Big Bottle Flies Breed in Dseaying
Animal Matter and Depreda-
tlons Cause Loss.

The big bottle flies are abundant in
warm weather. There are several
kinds of flies that infest wounds on
animals, and all of them breed in de-
caying animal matter. The bureau of
entomology tells US that If all dead
animals could be disposed of properly,
no cases of infestation Of living anil
mails would occur.
A wound on fine bird often causes
death because Of the depredations Of
these flies. It is not unusual for a
bird to be in bad shape before the
owner knows it is hurt. The only safe
way is to burn dead animals, and dis
infect a wound promptly. Timber
neck has been traced directly to the
eating of carrion by the victim.

conditions which they are not able to
Withstand. FUNGUS diseases and para
site enemies of the chinch bug are Of
little help in reducing its numbers.
Aggressive work against these in
sects is more profitable thaQ defensive
work, the bureau Of entomology be-
lieves. Cooperation among neighbor-
ing farmers in Kidding their fields Of
chinch bugs by spraying is absolutely
essential If the bugs are destroyed in
one field but unmolested on a neigh
boring farm they will quickly reinvade
the territory from which they were
banished.

most popular breeds Of geese in this

the other breeds. All utility breeds
Of geese are kept primarily for the
production of flesh ami feathers; and
although their eggs are occasionally
used for culinary purposes on the
farm, there is no demand for them
for food purposes in the markets.
The Toulouse, the largest of the
standard breeds of geese, is good
layer, producing from 20 to IS eggs a
year, is docile grows rapidly, and
makes a good market bird. However,
its dark pinfeathers make it slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Emden.
The Emden, a large white goose,
slightly smaller and with somewhat
longer legs than the Toulouse, is only
a fair layer and is usually less pro-
life than the Toulouse. This breed
has white pinfeathers, Is rapid grow
er, and natures early.
The African, a gray goose with a
distinct brown shade, about the size
of the Emden, is good layer and
makes a good market goose, although
it has the Objectionable dark plnfeath.
