Chinch Bugs Ready
To M0Ue NOU From
Wheat To Corn

Bluffton area farmers were
warned this week by Herbert H.
Hadley, county agricultural agent,
that recent survey of the chinch
bug population in northwestern Ohio
indicates that the level of population
is two times what it was in 1868,
when the problem was bad enough.
Mr.. Hadley said that the migra-
tion from wheat to corn fields will
probably start about July l and
last for two weeks. Heavy rains
can slow down or stop the infesta-
ton.
Corn fields should be sprayed ad-
joining the wheat when the bugs
begin to move. The spray should
be directed against the lower part
of the corn plants. 1t takes about
two days for the bugs to die, but
they stop feeding soon after spray
ing. 1t may take two applications
one week apart.
The agricultural service recon-
mends a formula of Toxaphene at
the rate of two quarts per acre
(emulsion concentrate carrying six
pounds per gallon) or Dieldrin at
the rate of 22s pints per acre (em-
ulsion concentrate carrying 1.5
pounds per gallon).

Last CoUered Bridge In Hght0ay DiU. One
To Be Raced On Route 23I Near Sycamore

The clashing sounds of wrecking
cranes and the intermittent gasps
of the steam shovel will soon trans
form quiet spot along Sycamore
creek into a bedlam of activity. The
old covered bridge on State Route
231 south of Sycamore in Wyandot
county is slated for sacrifice on the
altar of progress in an age of
elephantine motor transports.
The bridge, known to many from
this area who have driven over it,
is the last one in Division One of
the state highway department.

China's allies are not buying
these goods. The country's in
ternal communications are SO
bad, that priority Is probably
given to strategic materials and
weapons. Chang Kai-shek'S
blockade prevents much sea traf-
fic and what there is-mostly
junks and sampans cannot be
wasted conveying cigars, WOOL

up here until a Russian on q

shal Tito's dramatic break with
Moscow. Here the comrades pro-
test almost too loudly that Moth
ing can break Sino-R Russian soli-
darity. Yet even q guided tour
betrays the extent to which
China is being bled BY her al
lies.
Canada Is regarded hopefully
by Chinese Communists as one
of the most promising OF future
traders but United States en-
bargoes are interfering with
what could be called legitimate
business in a way not generally
recognized.
China is so desperately in need,
for instance. of the smallest me-
chanical devices that refrigera-
tors were being imported on q
large and expensive scale so their
ammonium compressors could be
extracted.
Scrutineers working in the Far
East for the United States Gov
ernment spotted the consign-
ments and reported back to
Washington. The Canadian man
ufacturer proved to be wholly
controlled from New York and
a telephone call was sufficient
to halt shipments.
Barter Deals Costly
This remotely controlled block
ade may be doing more harm
than good. China Is paying
heavily in barter deals for the
guns and planes she needs. In
no position to bargain, she de-
livers (let's say) a ton and one
half Of walnut meat to Poland
in exchange for one anti-aircraft
gun. The Poles keep half and
sell the rest on the open market.
Canada. the biggest Of China s
customers for walnut meat. finds
this Polish supply selling at The
Hague for very much less than
the Chinese themselves can offer
it in Shanghai. So China Is in
the fantastic position Of not only
selling her produce at sacrificial
prices but of also being under
cut by her own friends"
The sea blockade Of China's S
coasts Is hurting, but my impress
sion Is that 1t only stiffens Com
munist obstinacy and drives
China further into the Soviet
bloc.
Chang Kai-shek's planes are
regular visitors to this seaport
where more than 100000 Chi
nese live. but the results are the
same, as history shows they ale
ways have been when great cities
come under air attack and re-
sistance becomes more stubborn.

Don't let all your "reminiscences

sociologist Robert j. Havighurst
suggests that you shouldn't
reminisce at all; except to ()
children under the age Of 8 and

your own age. With these, he
advises that you make it a rule
to listen to their "reminiscences
for two hours, to every one hour

yours. Young children may en-
joy your stories, and Il think

Mrs. Robert F. Wiley, who has
headed the local United Church
Women's work in behalf Of the

One of the principal projects
IT the committee will be to help
raise funds to build a $65, 900
dormitory for women at the uni
versity. Similar committees will
be formed in other cities for the
same purpose.
The JICU, which opened its
doors last year, was established
by the Japan International

prepare new leaders for the ad-
vancement and development Of
democracy in the Far East.
