James Shuck one Of our successful
young farmers Of northeast Of Cen
traia believes hehas made a remark
able discovery in connection with the
campaign against the chinch bug.
When he planted his corn this season,
Mr.. Shuek washed the rust of the
plates Of his corn planter with coal
oil. He says his corn is doing nicely
and is absolutely FIRE from the de-
structive pests, when great havoc is
being wrought by them in an adojin-
ing field. He believes that the coal
oil from the plates and in the planter
feed box touched and covered or part
ly covered the grains and this oil or
odor Of it, kept the pests out of the
ground. In telling of his discovery
Mr.. Shuck pulled up a, stalk Of corn
and the odor Of the coal oil was still
distinct about the roots Of the stalk
of the young plant. Mr. Shuck and
Others Of his neighborhood are watch
ing the field with a great deal of in
terest In the hope that at last a way
has been found to rid the fields Of one
of our greatest and most destructive
pests. If this method, when tested
out, proves effective, why not give the
wheat drills and the oat seeders a
thorough bath with coal oil, or spray
the seeds with the stuff at seeding
time? The method is not expensive
and it can easily be given a trial. If
it proves effective and you use it,
don't forget to give the credit to the
Missouri boy whose keenness of OBJ
servation brought the method to
light.-Centralia Guard.

after day, smothering all the insects
possible, is urged. A complete job
cannot be done, veterans Of many a
chinch bug campaign say, in less
than a week.
Once the chinch bug is buried deep
the land may be plantedsto cowpeas
or soy beans. The seeding should be
heavy. If the ground is not planted
to legumes, which chinch bugs do not
like, or is left idle, the bugs are likely
to be up with the new chop-or with
the first foxtail that appears. But
be sure, it is suggested, the ground
has been worked so thoroughly as to
kill all the bugs, if possible. before
planting anything.
If thebugs now infested fields ere
allowed to mature so they are able to
fly they will scatter over a wide ter
Jritory. The present brood, IN isselt
will do little damage compared with
the one thatwill appear in a month il
this brood is not destroyed. Once
the chinch bug is mature enough to
fly he passes out of the farmers con

son and Benton type, to the manor
bred and born; because he is also a
1920 Democrat who knows how to ap-
ply old principles to new conditions;
because he is an advocate of peace,
believes that war and the fear Of war
is the greatest curse that afflicts the
human race and believes it is the
duty of our country to take its place
at the head of and make successful
the great League formed for the pur-
pose of preventing further wars.
We are for him because he is in
harmony with the Democratic plat
forms of 1920, adopted, not only in
Missouri, but in every state in the
Union and at the national Convention,
and being confirmed every where in
other states this year, and because he
is in harmony with the rank and file
of the D~emocartcy and the leaders Of
the Democratic party; because he is
an organizer and not a ~disorganizer.
Lastly, we are for him because he
is opposed to the Republican policy Of
national isolation, as expressed in its
fight on the Versailles treaty and
League Of Nations, and in its high
protective tariff policy as expressed
in the pending tariff bill, designed to
destroy foreign trade and enable the
protected interests to rob the farmer,
the laborers the professional man and
the general public.
