CHINCH BUGS I SURVIVE COLD Investigation by Co. Agent Sows Many of the Pests Still Here Examination of grassy fence rows during the last few days by County Agent, L. M. Busche, shows that the chinch bugs have successfully passed the winter in considerable numbers und unless adverse conditions arise, which prevent their laying eggs in wheat ant! barley, Adams County will witness another Invasion by the pest tills 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 tile adult bugs which winter over. However, when they are able to take refuge in abundant dead grass, they can stand considerable cold. But very tew farmers made any effort to burn their ditch luniks and fence rows und 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 infestation. in order that plans may be made to protect corn if necessary. .Many farmers in Adams county have lien using creosote or gas tar during 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 used 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 inn ets state their torn has not been bothered. Chinch bugs absolutely will not eat soybeans, and it seems that the dampness caused by the lioans prevents their bothering the corn, especially when the second brood appears in the fall. According to the county agent, the growing of barley has been practically discontinued due to the seriousness of the bugs during the last 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 mother of 13 children all of whom are living witli the exception of one son who died in infancy. During all the six weeks of suffering, she never murmured nor complained.

SHrawmMwmsMßap'.r. INSURE FOR SAFETY When you place your Fire, Automobile or Casualty Insurance, you naturally want to feel that your interests are fully safeguarded, and when the loss comes, you want to know that you have an insurance system behind you that never has failed. Stock Insurance Alone Assures llSefety Absolutely Stock insurance companies have built up the insurance, business in (hi tnitld Slates to its present large proportions and high standards ol service.
