CHINCH BUGS MAKE APPEARANCE IN COUNTY CORN CROP IS DAMAGED; RAIN KILLS PEST
GIRL IS HEAD OF CITY GOVERNMENT
CENTERVILLE, Ind.. June 23. Chinch bugs were discovered Wednesday on a farm three miles northwest of here, by the tenant, Robert Bowman. The county agent was notified and visited the farm at once, to identify the pest and give information as to its control. The bugs have been present for some time evidently, being harbored in a field of rye which they are leaving now for the superior attractions of an adjacent field of corn. They
the corn field, and en'ons to save the: crop will be -useless now. Warning was sent out by Purdue university recently to Indiana farm- j
ers to be on the lookout for the chinch bug, as conditions this year have been idfal for the insect, and already many ccur-ties had reported attacks from the pest. At the time of printing the Purdue communication, June 21, no evidence could be found of the presence in Wayne county of chinch bugs in unusual numbers. Many counties rf the state, however, have large numbers of the bug in small grain, which means an early attack on corn crops, to which the insects migrate as soon as the small grain begins to ripen. Slow to Detect Damage. The chinch bug is a sucking insect, . and therefore damage is not so easily seen as that from a chewing insect. If the bugs would eat the leaves, farmers would be much more alarmed than they r.re when they simply see the corn "not doing well." Corn which is attacked by the chinch bug will be slow of growth, lose color, and appear unthrifty, but farmers often . blame the weather for this and expect ihe corn to recover soon. Often before the owner realizes that there is anything seriously wrong, the crop is . beyond recovery. ' Athough the bugs are found first in the small grains, those grains are too far along when attacked to be rery badly injured. However, the bugs harbor in such fields during the early part of the season, and then migrate from them to the corn fields, where the most damage is done. The chinch bug, about the size of a house fly, i3 a craw-ling insect, and can b? checked by any means that will make traveling difficult. Methods of Prevention. The most common means of defense is to plow a furrow across the path of the insect, as it travels in armies, numbering millions, from one field to another. The furrow rhould be made with the land side of the plow toward the coin field, so that bugs will
not be able to climb up the side of the furrow, but will travel along the bottom instead, hunting for an easy place to climb. For better safety, tar may be run along the furrow also. Postholes may then be dug every 30 or 40 feet in the bottom of the furrow, and the bugs crowling along the rath will fall into them, where they may be drowned or killed with kerosene. Another way is to make a dusty path by dragging a log along the sida of the corn field, then to drive a wagon along the path so that one wheel makes a groove in it. This track may then be filled with tar or with heavy road oil. The bugs, unable to cross this, will travel along, hunting for a crossing place, and may be trapped in postholes as in the other method. Spraying Not Effective. Spraying is of little use unless th3 bu.es have reached only the first fewrows of corn. Anything which will kill the bugs is likely also to kil; the corn. A heavy drenching rain is the best remedy for the bugs, as they willebe drowned by it. In parts of the county which have had a heavy rain very recently, or which get one within a few days, damage from the fugs will be very slight. Where the weather continues dry. however, chinch bugs
may be expected if they have been present in other years. The bug is about an eighth of an inch long when grown, and black with conspicuous white wings. The young bugs are bright red in color. They also have characteristic fetid odor, often so strong as to be evident before the bug can be seen.
