The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Charles Carpenter, of the Richmond! Roller Mills, says that the Tndiana millers in convention at Indianapolis last week, were agreed that wheat would open at about $1.05 at their milling points. He said that after last year's experience buyers would go slow and careful, lest they got more bark rubbed off. As for himself he wanted to see the wheat and test its quality before naming a price and this will probably be the general rule with millers. Mr. Carpenter says on a recent trip he saw wheat that did not look like 8 bushel grain, and close by might be a field that would run 15 to 20. He said that Wayne might average 10 bushels, but it was largely guess work until the threshers show actual results. "What one sees along the fence rows isn't always a criterion," said Mr. Carpenter; "you must walk out into the field to make a worth while estimate and to see actual conditions." Will Ship Freely. The secretary of the Kansas state board of agriculture, forecasts early movement of Kansas wheat, this for two reasons: The disastrous results of holding last year's crop, is the first reason; the second is the pressure from the banks for liquidation of farm paper. Old Kansas wheat has been arriving in long train loads at Kansas City during June, and there can be little doubt that ihe state still holds a lot of fine milling grain from the Some of the Kansas newspapers are objecting to Secretary Mohler's statements, and say that there will be no such rush to market as he predicts. Many private advices reaching Kansas City endorse Mr. Mohler's statements. There should be no shortage of cars this year. St. Louis Has New Wheat. The first car of new wheat to reach St. Louis arrived June 24. came from ! I Arkansas, tested 57 pounds and soldi for $1.46. The first car of the crop is always sold at auction and is often ! bid up in price as a matter of pride. It is an advertisement for both shipper ' and buyer, this handling of the first, car of the new season. Kansas City ; RUST AND FLY INJURE OHIO WHEAT PROSPECTS COLUMBUS. O.. June 27. Wheat condition in Ohio is generally lower than last week, due largely to rust and weather conditions, according to reports received from correspondents by C. J. West, Agricultural Statistician. The fear is general that the grain will be of light weight and heads not well filled, but to what extent this is the case cannot well be determined until threshing commences. In many fields rust has denuded the stocks of ull leaves. There is a considerable presence of Hession Fly. but as in the case of rust it is uncertain what damage is resulting from this pest. The larger part of the wheat of the state will be cut the coming week. Corn fields look ragged and uneven, especially in fields that were planted early. The rains thruout the central part of the state have led to a rapid improvement in the condition of corn. Most fields have been cultivated two or three times. A number of reports have been received of fields which farmers were unable to plant to corn. Oats condition shows some decline with a thin stand in many fields and a prospect of heading out short. The Home Garden In addition to destroying vegetable plants directly, many insects frequently carry disease from one plant to another. Mosaic diseases of potatoes and tomatoes is spread by insects, cucumber wilt affecting cucum bers, melons, squash and pumpkins is spread by cucumber beetles. The following formulae are used in actual garden work at Purdue University with good results. (1) For biting insects on the vegetable in the home garden use one part of arsenate of lead to eight or ten parts of air-slacked lime. Dust thia on the plants through cheese cloth. If the garden is too large. to permit of this method use arsenate of lead at the rate of four pounds to fifty gallons of water with a spray pump. (2) Cucumber Beetles Use one part of carbonate of lead to twenty parts of gypsum or plaster paris. (3) . Sucking insects Use nicotine sulphate known as "Black leaf 40." (4) Cutworms Make a stiff bran mash to which has been added a little paris green and cheap molasses, Scatter over the soil. Booster Class of Chester Church to Meet Thursday CHESTER. Ind.. June 27.

d OUT ALIVE l J c

J has been receiving a little new wheat aany, ror a week. Chinch bugs are reported as leaving wheat and going into the corn at Tebbets, Mo., Farfield, 111., reported that chinch bugs had destroyed a field of corn there. Harvest Well Along. A. L. Baldwin, of Webster, had 35 acres of wheat in shock on Saturday evening. He said that his early sown grain had suffered some from fly, and that his late wheat would make the heavier yield. "Nothing to brag about in the wheat line up our way this time," said he, "but we shall have some good whsat at that." He thought that fifty per cent had been cut up to Saturday evening and that, weather permitting, the balance would be in shock by July 1. According to a letter sent out by the Indiana state farm bureau from the Indianapolis office a few days ago, the state officers have paid out $295,000," presumably" since the inception of the work, as "shown by the salary and expense account." This was doubtless to June 1. Very little money, comparatively speaking, was spent during the first year of the organization but it has been flowing more freely from month to month during the past year. "Money makes the mare go." The Michigan 1920 pool held 3,558,552 pounds of wool, according to the farm bureau figures. The claim is now made that four times as much wool has been pooled in Michigan to date, this year. This means that the pooling is being done earlier and in larger quantity, and not that the pool will contain 14,000,000 pounds of 1921 product, although the amount is bound to !be large. A Large Price. A Darkf county man living in the New Madison district was proudly showing a large check to a friend, the amount being $2,873. What was the t-necu in payment or, think you? Was jt for a pair of weanling pigs, or a nen ad chickens? Not much; he got El1 that money for a roan cow about the size of a box car. with a lusty calf at side. Where did he get all that money : hy at Dayton, and out of this he had a truckers' bill to pay. W. U Gaar. living near Campbellstown, has 55 acres in wheat and about the same acreage in corn. He says if his wheat threshes out a good half crop he will be content; albeit his corn looks finer than silk, and there is a whole lot like it down that wav. Sunday Harvesters If you were among those who braved the cloudless sunshine and fervent heat on Sunday, and journeyed hither and yon along the country highways and cross roads, you surely observed that many farmers were in their fields with binders, intent on saving the ripened wheat before it became "shattery." It would have been much pleasanter to have rested at home in the shade, and also much more restful and comfortable for the mother of the little flock. This getting up of a big dinner for harvest crews, and the absence from church on a June Sunday morning, is little to the liking of the good women of our farm homes, but duty is duty. "What nature confers in blessing, is not to be wasted." said a merchant whose car was narked with the family, as he wended his way out past Whitewater. "This is an ideal harvest day. and no one can tell what wind and rain may come tomorrow. To tell the truth, I feel as if I should be right out in that field at work. These folks are good citizens and good customers of our store, as well. If our farmers are crowded and short of help. Richmond should volunteer; should cheerfully help them out." And this merchant was eminently correct. This is being done in a thousand towns all over the west, and was, indeed, the general rule in 1920. The farmers of the Richmond radius are not given to doing more than the i necessary farm work on Sunday. But circumstances alter cases. If there was any job more necessary and imperative than harvesting on Sunday, June 26, many a farmer whose wheat was dead ripe, couldn't tell, you what that job was. "The wheat crop is not large at I best. The farmer needs the income I and the world needs bread.

CHINCH BUG ARMIES INVADE NEW FIELDS; NEIGHBORS COMBINE TO CUT OFF PESTS

Chinch bugs have been discovered in several other locations in Wayne county since last accounts Saturday. An outbreak was reported Saturday from a point several miles north of Cambridge City, on the farm of Fred Adrian. An inspection trip Sunday afternoon showea tne presence of the pest also in a rye field two miles southeast of Hagerstown and in another rye field near Hagerstown has numbers of the bugs, and farmers in that neighborhood are taking steps to protect themselves. Farmers in the Fred Adrian neighborhood, where bugs were reported Saturday morning, worked all day Sunday running lines around the best and cutting off the infested portions of the fields. The bugs had started from two rye fields, and spread into corn next to the rye. One field of only a few acres, was half covered before the hugs be checked. The bugs crossed the road also, invading a field belonging to John Werking and Henry Keggy, of Hagerstown, and operated by James Mays. The insects penetrated this field only a short distance, however, and a furrow has been run ahead of them. Enclose Bug Army. Mr. Adrian obtained some tarvia from the city street department of Richmond early Sunday morning, and the lines were run clear around the infested fields completely enclosing the invading army, in the afternoon, several neighbors assisting in the work. Chinch bugs were found in numbers also on the farm of George Lennard, a neighbor of Adrian, and were said to have been very damaging to crops of Ben Hardman, two miles south, last year. There are very few on Mr. Hardman's farm this year, however. Five acresof millet were destroyed by them last year, according to Mr. Hardman. Another outbreak was reported Sunday evening from the farm of Frank Hunt, one mile east and a miles and a half north of Chester, opposite the farm of Everett Hunt. All farmers in the neighborhood were notified by telephone Sunday evening or Monday morning, and a dozen' were at the Frank Hunt farm before breakfast to co-operate in fighting the insects. Start Plow Around Early in the forenoon a plow was started around the corn field in which the bugs had been found, and the two ends which have not yet been heavily I attacked were cut off so that the "bugs 1 were isoiatea in me center, across which they had spread to the opposite side of the field. Men with shovels, spades and post-hole diggers followed the plow, perfecting the furrow, so that the bugs could not cross it andj digging post-holes to trap them. Aj line or tar was law along tne furrow also. The chinch bugs on this farm had come from a wheat field next the corn and, starting in the middle of the field, which is long and narrow, if naa reacnea tne opposite siae before j they were noticed. All the center of the field will be taken by them, but an attempt will be made to save the ends, which have not been seriously infested yet. Mr. Hunt will lose at least 10 acres, however. Co-operative Effort All the neighborhood turned out at once in the last community infested in a co-operative effort to surround the bugs and keep them from spreading and to kill them before they have a chance to mature. A dozen men were working on the farm early in the forenoon, and with so much help it was only a short time until the barrier was laid. Necessity for care in building the barrier was shown Monday morning, when it was reported from one of the first farms infested that the bugs were crossing the furrow at spots into uiitiitiiiiiiiMiiiliiiiiiiiiHiuuiiiiiittitiiniiitiiuiiuuiMMmiiiiiniitHinfiiitiuiiiiit' Osborn and Moline j I CORN BINDERS j 1 Irvin Reed and Son UllUtlllUlllUtllUltUUIUttUltHlinitilltlltllHlllllllUUIttlllllllUIIIUIIIIIIIUUllUtllu Feed Grinders and S hellers THE McCONAHA COMPANY Implement Dept.

The holes should be dug deep enough to keep the bugs from escaping, and, if necessary, the line should be patrolled and the bugs killed at regular intervals in the hole by drowning or sprinkling a little kerosene in the holes. Travel by Crawling Farmers in the infested regions are making special efforts to kill the bugs at this time before they have a chance to mature, as after they are grown the wings develop and the bugs start flying, after which they will spread unchecked. Now, however, very few are mature and they travel by crawling along the ground. It is possible, therefore, to check them by plowing furrows across their path and to trap them in holes dug along the furrow, into which they will fall when crawling along the furrow. During this period, when the wings are yet unformed and while the bugs are traveling, is the only time that they may be fought satisfactorily. CHINCHlilNVADES ' DELEWARE COUNTY MUXCIE, Ind., June 27. The corn crop is in imminent danger of being greatly damaged by widespread invisions of chinch bugs unless farmers take immediate steps to stem the tide of the insect hosts, which are swarming from the harvested wheat, rye and cats fields into the rows of corn, according to an announcement made by J. F. Treasure, county agricultural agent. These insects are being reported in great numbers in the vicinity of Yorktown and rrom a section five or six miles north of this city in Delaware Township, Mr. Treasure says. Other localities were infested with the pests several weeks ago and the epidemic gives promise of becoming the worst in years unless the county's agriculturists join hands in a concerted offensive to save their crops.
