Report Chinch Bugs On Farms In County Several Reports Os Bugs Are Received Several reports of chinch bugs already in the young corn have been, reported in Adams county, extension agent U K. ’ Archbold reported today. Most recent cases Include the farms of Richard Speakman and Raymond Mt Ahren in St. Mary’s township, and the Fuhrman farm inkhdhh Preble towsnhip. Archbold states that the area of northeastern Indiana bounded by Auburn, Marion and Richmond has long been the scene of annual trouble from chinch bugs, but that the last state wide attack was in 1934. f There has been & gradual buildup of reported cases of chinch bug infestation since 1951, and a rather heavy attack is expected this year. Dry weather is most favorable to their growth and breeding. The chinch bug»> winter as adults in the base of bushy grains, and emerge on warm spring days to fly to small graip fields to lay their eggs. Chinch bugs love the bright sun, and may easily be prevented, by planting thick stands of wheat and small grains, as the bugs lay their eggs In thin stands of grain. In early summer they emerge from the ’eggs as tiixy bright red bugs. As they mature they become gray and white and blaek and white. They are sucking insects, preying on the Sffp of the ' They feed oh th'i sap‘of the stems of the small grains until it is ripe or cut. Then they migrate by foot to adjoining corn fields. Here they duster on corn stalks often until the corn turns black and dies. Then they move on to- • wards the center of the field. They always attack The grain nearest the wheat first. The extent of damage depends on the number of bugs and size of the corn. The chinch bug feeds only on the plants of the grass family. Good stands of small grains mixed with legumes are the best insurance against outbreaks of chinch bugs in this area, Archbold states. “ If the chinch bugs do attack an area, the only effective treatment is a barrier. The one recommended now is the dieldrin barrier, dieldrin being available at most farm supply stores. An average of one-third gallon of 15 percent emulsion concentrate per acre should be sprayed over an area two rods withia the infested grain area, and two rods within the corn, and over all the fence row or border between. This may be repeated if necessary. The old method of using a creosote barrier is effective but laborious and time-consuming. If an emergency arrises, the migration of the chinch bugs may be stopped by plowing a furrow between the two areas, and maintaining a dusty mulch in the furrow by dragging a log back and forth during the hot sunny hours of midday,' when most bugs migrate.

Senate Goes Back To Work On Tax Bill Democrat Proposal For S2O Reduction ... Killed By Senators WASHINGTON HNS) — The senate, halted at midnight by the death of a colleague, plunges back Into work today on its one billion, 309 million dollar tax revision measure. Word of the passing of Sen. Hugh Butler (R-Nebr.), reached the senate chamber a moment before last midnight, at the close of a Strenuous 13-hotir continuous session on the tax bill. Butler was a senior rtiember of the tax-writing finance committee. ■_ Senate ~majority leader William F. knowland (R-Calif.), immediately recessed the session but announced it would reconvene early today to complete action on the tax "reform" bill. In its almost-final form, the legislation carries relief to - In the form of liberalized medical and child care deductions, larger retirement and sickness or injury, exemptions, and accelerated depreciation privileges. It continues the present 52 percent corporation (ax, rate for another year but gfves business firms broadened allowances for research, corporate reorganizations and depletion allowances. The last amendment adopted before the senate recessed was one by Sen. Hubert Humphrey (DMinn.), which would permit farmers to write off the cost of constructing grain storage facilities in the year they are built. The privilege is good for two years. Earlier in the evening the senate approved an amendment allowing persons receiving sickness or injury benefits in the form of wages or employer-payments to exempt up to SIOO a week from their taxes as soon as they become ill. Originally the bill imposed a sev<jn-day delay in starting the exemption. The senate also killed a Democratic proposal to give taxpayers a general S2O tax reduction and wipe out all tax relief for stockdividend recipients.

He testified that he knew hothing of what happened between the time he tell asleep in the chair following art argument with his wife and when he awoke with a pain in his stomach.

Vietnamese and Vietmlnh are carrying on talks in Geneva on plans tor a ceasefire by withdrawing their troops to designated areas, the French are handing over Vietnam to the Communists. He added that Indo-Chtna was primarily a problem for the French but said the U. S. would be "most unhappy" to see a settlement that would give the Reds the Hon’s share of Vietnam. On Wednesday. President Eisbnhpwer stated the administration’s position on any peace that would place additional peoples under Communist domination. The President said: “I will not tea party to any agreement that makes anybody a slave; now that’s all there is to it." U. 8. officials are also concerned that the French retreat will iirve disastrous affects on the morale bf the people in the rest of Indo-China and in neighboring states of Laos and Comdoia. William F. Knowland of Calif., strongly assailed the French action as a defeat f6r the free world. The California Republican commented: "As we meet here today, our ally, Frence, in a thinly disguised surrender, is Jteing required to peitint 10 million Vietnamese in the Red River delta and' northern Vietnam to pass under Communist control. • "The net result of these developments will be a Communist victory In Asia of no mean proportions.”

Soybean Disease Is Reported In County Several cases of soybean disease, in which the leaves of the plant turn yellow but the veins remain bright green, have been reported to the county extension office, U E. Archbold, county agent -stated today. These symptoms are typical of manganese deficiency, Archbold states, usually found in beans growing in low areas of the field. This disease is easily treated, with an increase of seven to ten bushels of soybeans per acre. Archbold recommends spraying the affected area with a solution of manganese sulfate dissolved in water. The plants will recover their healthy green appearance within a week, he states. This particular dfeficienyy often occurs when is exhausted Ip a fieM. or when the lime in the low areas combines chemically with the manganese and prevents the plant from absorbing it. - < '-u ■ > - - —-
