Report Chinch Bugs Are Found At Geneva .Treatment Os Bugs Is Outlined Here Chinch bugs, if present, will be found now in thin, unthrifty wheat, states county agent L. E. Archbold. The 195*2 infestation is likely to be light. Charles Mays, vocational agricultural instructor of Geneva, reports shine members of his class have found' chinch bugs this year. ■to 1 find chinch bugs now the wheat plant should be examined at the ground line. When disturbed, the chinch bugs run about as small, red wingless insects. They will remain in the wheat until it matures, after which they * start their migration to more 1 succulent plants, usually corn. The county extension office has a supply of di-nitro barrier dust. To get the dust, the applicant should come to the extension office and get an order. The cost will be 2 cents per pound. \ To make a di-nitro chinch bug barrier, the ground on which it is to be placed should be dragged smooth. A ribbon of di-nitro dust two inches wide should then be placed on the smooth area, using about one pound of di-nitro dust for each rod of barrier. The barrier should be examined each day and any breaks repaired. If chinch bugs get into the corn they can be controlled by dusting the bugs with a 5% DDT or 5% chlordane dust. \ , j ) ' 1 . 1 ' ■ F Any one observing chinch bugs is urged to report to the county extensiota office.

His house was plucked from its foundations by the winds. Not a stick of lumber from the home could be found within 100 feet of the foundations later. The tornado whisked the roof off a farm home near Tuttle, N.D;, blew it across a road and then whirled it back against the house. At Tampa, Fla., high winds ripped the roof off a single-story building and caused an air force plane to crash, injuring one crewman. A Violent thunderstorm that broke over Oak Ridge, Tenn., damaged the atomic city’s electrical system and threw it into darkness for an hour. Several residents of a rest home at Springfield, Mb., nartowly escaped injury wheh a wind storm toppled trees across the home’s porch, folding it up "like an accordion.” The rest home patients were on the porch when the falling trees splintered it.

The United States thus, became the first nation to give its formal endorserbent to enlisting German troops in the European defense System. Now it is up to Germany and the rest of Western Europe. It looks at present as though action by the German Bundestag may be held up until fall in the face of bitter opposition bn the part of 1 Kurt Schumaker’S Social Democrats, ! 1 Delays also seem certain in France, The Netherlands, and half a dbzen othei; countries.
