Chinch Bugs Invading?
Farmers are generally fearing the
chinch bug in this part of the state
according to E. j. Cant of Nine Mile
Prairie south east of here. The old
ones have invaded the corn fields and
while these are not doing much dam
age now it is said they are laying
their eggs in the corr and when the
young mature much damage is ex-
pected.
Wheat is also said to have much
rust in that section and only half a
crop is expected.
