Thrips Start Farm to City
Movement as Numbers
Show Big Increase
More Noticeable in Sections of
Town Closest to Rural
Districts

Increasing in volume every day,
Bluffton is again being over-run with
an invasion of millions Of oats lice
which are infesting the eyes, faces,
bodies and clothing of the towns
people. Altho not as numerous as
they were last year at this time, the
increasing quantities may in short
order find the infestation the equal
of previous years.
The oats lice do not make their
appearance here every year. Prior
to the summer of 1941 the previous
major infestation was in July of
1882. In the intervening years there
had been practically no appearance
of the insect.
EDGE OF Town
Most frequent complaints of the
insects have been from people living
near the edges of the town. Here
tofore the insects had been perfectly
satisfied with farm life but in re-
cent years have begun farm to
city movement with a vengeance.
The oats louise is known scientifi.
cally as "anaphothrips stratus" and

In Automobile Here

longing to Ross Gotshall, was ex-
tinguished by the Bluffton fire de-
partment at the rear of the Fred

BlufftOn Residents Visit Kentucky's
Ancient Buried City At Wickliffe

A glimpse into the prehistoric
past was enjoyed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ray Campbell and family of South
Jackson street, when they recently
visited Kentucky's ancient buried
city at Wickliffe.
Scientists under the direction of
Col. Fain White King, state director
of archaeological research, have dis
covered the remains of lost civili-
zation predating the historic Ameri-
can Indian.
Work of excavation and restora-
tion has been in progress ten years
and it is estimated that another 20
years will be necessary before the
complete story left in buried temples,
homes, civic and industrial structures
is revealed.

Millions OF Oats Lice Beginning
General Invasion Here This Week

the present year may prove ban
near season for the insects If the
present rate of increase continues.
Reports from state agricultural
quarters indicate that the situation
is not purely local but that a tre-
mendous increase has been noted in
the number of bugs throughout every
state in the union. Everywhere the
tiny little bugs have moved from the
town to the country
...-. FEED ON BLUE GRASS
The thrips feed on timothy blue
grass and oats. The adult is 1/f6
of an inch in length, is brownish in
color and has four narrow wings
fringed with hair In sucking juices
from the plants on which it feeds
the insect pierces the plant just
above the upper node, where it is
tender, causing it to shnvel and all
parts above it die.
The dead and yellow heads OF
grass thus destroyed can be seen in
grass growing regions. This disease
is known as "silver tops. The
thrip, or oats louise, does little dam
age to most crops, however.
The thrip is one of the few pests
enjoying a boom year here. Mosqui
toes seem to be practically non
existent this summer. Chinch bugs
and Hessian flies, nemesis of small
grains, also are missing from th
fields this year.
The oats lice, however, are begin
ming to make up for the vacation O
their fellow pests and are startin,
to cause general itching AM
scratching among the members o
/ the Bluffton populace.
