necessary for such matter to decay
and enrich the land, except in case of
an emergency; but, where the farmer is
unable to hide in this rubbish, it is a
wise plan to burn ths trash before his
spring plowing is begun and then later
on replace the destroyed organic mat-
ter by planting cow peas or other
legumes and plow them under.
To our farmers living in the grain
belt, where the chinch bug often be-
comes a serious pest, we would sug-

It is advisable for the people of our
State to “follow suit." so that We can
enjoy large crops next year.
The State Department of Agriculture
therefore wishes to urge all those in-
terested in the betterment of our agri-
oultural industries to set aside a few
days this winter as a general bug
killing time. During this period all
the trash around the farm should be
destroyed by burning. City lots and
roadways should be cleaned snd ths
weeds and grass destroyed by fire. It
must be borne in mind, however, that
the weeds and grass in the fields re-
quiring some humus had bettor be
plowed under rather deeply some time
this winter, so that it can decay and
at the same time prevent the escape
of insects that might be hibernating
therein. This department has nsver

will give letters of instructions in the

In an address entitled “Destroy ths
Bugs," Entomologist E. E. Scholl of
the Department of Agriculture says
that the year 1919 has been very fa-
vorable to the development of insects.
He urges for the department that a few
days bo set aside early in the now year
when a campaign against them will
bo conducted, and that all trash
around tho farms be destroyed on this
occasion. His address follows:
A largo number of our most destruc-
tive insects have their winter quarters
within the fields or along the fence
rows near where they have depredated.
Within late years entomologists and
other close observers havs carefully
studied the habits of these insects with
reference to their hibernation and have
found that a great many of the posts
can be destroyed by the so-called cul-
tural methods. These methods consist
of deep fall and winter plowing, the
destruction of weeds and grass along
fences and in waste places, clean cul-
tivation and crop rotation. The farm-
ers who have plowed their farms early
this fall are fortunate, because of tho
fact that their lands, being open and
exposed to the cold snaps that we have
hud, made it possible for some of the
insects theren to be destroyed while
some of them have been compelled
to seek their winter quarters along
the fence rows or in the neighboring
pastures. This plowing. if done deep
enough will cover up a large number
of the insects that hibernate in grass
stools or in rubbish on ths surface of
the soil, so that thay can not get out
next spring Those spending the win-
ter in the soil as larvae or pupao are
usually thrown to the surface, where
they die. If the grass and weeds along
the fences and in waste places are
burned some of tho remaining inserts
will also be destroyed. This should,
of course, be done in the fall or early
winter, so they oan not escape when
it gets warm in the spring.
Due to ths fact that 1919 has boon
very favorable to the development of
insects, thus furnishing large numbers
to go into hibernation, a number of
Btates, and also some oommunitiss in
othsr States, have decided to greatly
diminish the pests by making a co-
operated attack upon them in their
winter quarters. Only a few days ago
tho Governor of Oklahoma issued a
proclamation in which he designated
one week after Dec. 80, 1818, as “bug
killing week." He has requested, not
only the farmers but the city people
as well of his State, to make a strong

The State Textbook Board has com-
pleted its labors until next summer,
when it intends to meet to consider fur-
ther the selection of an advanced
United States history for high school
use. The four books submitted at this
time were found to be unsatisfactory
and the board as a committee of a
whole will investigate further to at-
tempt to find a satisfactory book.
When the special committee reported
that the four books submitted were not
satisfactory and recommended that a
committee of three be appointed to con-
sider lurther bids which might be ad-
vertised for. the Governor designated
the whole board to consider the matter,
saying that the matter is an important
one; that he desires the adoption of a
history written by some statesman,
scholar or historian, and not by some
publishing house expert employed to
write such a book.
The Governor said that hs would give
the board plenty of notice as to when
they would be called to meet again.
They agreed with his views on the his-
tory question.
