CHINCH BGGS SURVIVE C.OLD Investigation by Co. Agent Sows Many Wf the Pests Still Here Examination of grassy fence rows during the lust few days by County Agent, L. M. Busehe. shows that the chinch bugs have successfully passed the winter in considerable numbers and unless adverse conditions arise, which prevent their laying eggs in wheat and barley, Adams County will witness another invasion by the pest this summer. The extremely cold weather during the latter part of the winter when there was practically no snow on the ground, was thought by many to practically insure the destruction of the adult bugs which winter over. However, when they are aide to take refuge in abundant dead grass, they can stand considerable cold. But very few farmers made any effort to burn their ditch banks and fence rows and accordingly, the last generation of mature ■bugs found good protection last fall. Farmers should watch their wheat, rye and barley fields in order to determine the seriousness of the infes tation, in order that plans may be made to protect corn If necessary. Many farmers in Adams county have been using creosote or gas tar dur ing the last two years with success. This method has given best results in preventing the migration of the bugs from grain ’fields to small corn. Another method which has been med by some farmers which success has been the use of soybeans with the corn. Although it cannot be stated definitely just how effective this method is, farmers who have had soybeans in corn adjacent to grain fields infested with the ins< ets state their corn has not been bothered. Chinch bugs absolutely will not eat soybeans, and it seems that the dampness caused by the beans prevents their bothering the corn, especially when the second brood appears ih the fall. According to the county agent, the growing of barley has been practically discontinued due to the seriousncss of the bugs during the las,t two years. o Juniors Make Big Hit With Class Play (Continued From Page One.) third acts, a chorus of girls gave a specialty entitled Alice Bluegown.

She was the widow of John Durbin who died 11 years ago. She was a member of the Pleasant Valley Friends church. She was a loving I mother, kind wife and a devoted Christian. She was the mother of 13 children all of whom are living with the exception of one son who died .in infancy. During all the six weeks of st Jfering, she never murmured nor complained, hut seemed to realize that her time was near at band, and just a tew days before she died stated that she was ready and waiting to go whenever the Lord saw fit to call her home. She also called her children to her bedside asking them to meet her in Heaven. She also quoted different passages of Scripture. One was as follows: “Be ye also ready, for in the hour when y< think not. the Son of man cometh." She was patient to the last when she closed her eyes to open no more in this world but in Heaven. Dearest mother thou hast left tts Here thy loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that hast bereft us, He can all our sorrow heal. Peaceful be thy slumber. t Peaceful fh' thy grave so lbw.
