be put away on file and kept as rpedmans
of the good work done by the children who
took part in the contest, and, after many

does look as If the riders would tire of

been conducting a series of experiments
with chinch bugs, with a view to finding
some practical way in which to get rid if
the pest.
It wan early discovered that a certain
fungoid disease would, under proper condi
tions, do much to keep the bugs in check.
For the benefit of the farmers the station
began tho work of Infecting chinch bugs
with this disease and distributing them over
the State.
Professor J. 3L Stedman. entomologist of
U. , station, has Just prepared a statement
for publication in which he takes the stanJ
that this method Is Ineffective In doing
away with the chinch bugs. In making this
statement, however, he points out other
methods, which, by experiment at tho na
tion, have been found to be effective. Pro
fessor Stedman says:
"Chinch bugs always hibernate in the
adult condition during the winter. Late in
the fall, when the proper food plants have
become more or less dried and cooler weath
er Is approaching, the chinch bugs begin to
migrate and scatter In search of suitable
places in which to pass the winter. Tbls
migration usually occurs in Missouri at the
time most people call 'Indian summer.'
"The quarters aought by the bugs are such
places as the edge of timber, osage orange
hedges, wind breaks, places where there Is
plenty of rubbish, as along fences, among
stone piles or wood piles, hay and straw
stacks, and places where there are great
masses of rank growth of grass and weeds.
"Unfortunately for the agriculturist,
at least, the chinch bug has few natural
enemies, especially is this the case with
its Insect enemies. The chinch bug seems

Earasite upon them, and it therefore fcems

DIneoscM Tlint Attnclc Chinch Hair.
"There are certain fungoid and bacterial
diseases that attack chinch bugs under cer
tain conditions, and these diseases do more
good toward keeping the chinch bugs In
check than all the ether natural enemies
of the chinch bug combined. However, we
cannot hope to ever see the day In this
region of the United States whn tha nat

We must assist nature with her task by
artificial means. The chinch bug lias sc.

"In the first place, every agriculturist
should take advantage of th fact that
chinch bugs hibernate In the adult condi
tion during the winter under rubblih f
various kinds. If tho farm is kept thor
oughly clean, and no rubbish of any de

where the insects can readily hibernate are

Paris. July li (Copyright. 19.)-The
clerk of the weather is making up for the
tardy arrival cf summer bj furnishing a con

been tropical, to the great delight of the
Manege- Marigny, the Jardln de Paris, tho
Ambassadeurs, the Alcaiar d'Ete. and other
open-air reports on the Champs Elysees.
The heat has given the coup de grace to
all the other theaters, which have hastened
to close their doors until September.
Cabmen are reaping a golden harvest from
thousands who go to the Bois in search of
fresh air.
The Champs Elysees is fast resuming mid
summer quiescence. Xcrse girls and their
charges now reign supreme under the leafy

from the garden which has been occupied by
the sculpture of the Soclete Nationale des

He will make no charge. And If you will
continue to write to the doctor vou are
