P. PUnt. Chtef EntomoloKlrt, Illinois Natural History Survey. WXl' SerV|oe. Having wrought rulrN^hroughout thfe corn belt during the pasfN^wo seasons, chinch bugs are now goingStuo hibernation in such thick numbers that Illinois might easily lose 25 per cent of Its next year's corn crop, or more than $46,000,00), on the basis of the ten-year average annual farm valii£_of the grain." „ A campaign of warfare against the chinch-bug carrj-over. which will be largest since 18S7, was ..ninpped out at a recent conference of entomologists of the central West. The> program covers the coming winter, spring and summer. ' • Fall plowi ng and the burrflng, of hibernating quarters ai^» t6 be stressed during the fall and Winter campaign. The attack upon the bugs next spring will be directed along the Unes of planning cropping systems so. that..'they will include as many crops as possible upon which the bugs do not feed. Some reliance will be placed upon chinch-bug reslsta'nt varieties of corn. At small-grain harvest time many of the bugs can be killed by the use of Carriers. N Approximately 73 counties, or about three-fourths of the state, j\e no>v infested with chinch bugs. The territory Includes all of the state except a band of counties In the extreme southern part and a narrower strip of counties at the extreme north. The fact that Illinois farmers have had two bad chinch-bug years does not mean the end of their troubles. Outbreaks of the bugs usually last from two to four years. Some former Illinois outbreaks not as extensive as the present one have persisted for as long_ ;is five years. Wheat Is Safe From ^ Fly if Planted Right Iltfnnis' adjusted acreage of wheat should escape serious injury front the Hessian fly, ttle worst insect pest of tjlie crop, provided it is seeded on the normal dates for highest yield, according to results of a survey announced by W. P. Flint, chief entomologist of the Illinois state natural history survey and of the experiment station, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. The fly is scarce this year, the Infestation in many areas being only 10 per cent of that found in 1932. It was revealed by the survey. Parasites preying on the fly are about the same us last year. Controlling the Hessian fly through seeding wheat at the proper time and through other means is one essential aid in getting the stability of production which the agricultural adjustment administration is seeking. It was pointed out. The average total farm value of the state's wheat crop during the past 67 years has varied from a high of $148,041,000 in 1019 to a low of $8,218,000 in 1032. and insects like the Hessian fly have been onfe of the hazards that have played a part tn that fluctuation. No way to control the Hessian fly after It once takes possession of A grain field has been discovered. The principal way to combat this pest is to sow wheat on the date for highest practice crop rotation, to HOW TO SUCCKSSFITLLT "PILOT" THE UMBRELLA LN ItAIN.-- A fundamental knowledge of sailing will prove of inestimable value in handling an umbrella In a gusty rain, says the Baltimore Sun. Do not imagine4hat you can go directly to your destination unless, of course, the wind is immediately at your back. You must be prepared to do a lot of Judicious tacking. It is, of course, possible to tilt the umbrella slightly so as to get a" peek out of the corper of one eye and thus keep on your course.

Patents are granted chiefly .for new inventions or improvements in nut chlftery and apparatus or processeupon proper application and paymeri' of the fe*»s. Life of a patent is 17 years for inventions. To obtain a pai ent in the United States it Is neces Siry to file an application with Ununited States patent office in Washing ton. A complete drawing must !»• filed (sometimes models are require-' also) together with complete specillcn tions which set forth the claim 01 claims for the part, improvement w combination oft which the applicant claims his Invention or discovery These specifications must so'describe (he article that one reasonably skilletl in the art with which it is connected could make it from the specifications as set forth in the application. Hence, the specifications and claims are tin most important part of the application and should be drawn up by an expcri /patent attorney... v plow under all infested^stubble promptly, to destroy all volunteer wheat, to piow all land to be sown to wheat as early and as deeply as possible, to prepare a good seed, conserve moisture and use good seed. Timber Crop in 25 Years A. forest plantation of 824 acres started by a coke company of Scottsdale, I'a., from 1900 to 1912 now contains many trees ready for cutting for mine props and lagging. The plantings were made under plans furnished by the United States forest service In J906. Large areas of red oak and Smaller ones of silver maple made the best growth. Some of the twentytive- year-old stands of oak and maple recently examined by extension foresters were found to be 50 feet high; containing trees 10 inches in diattieter. although most of the stands were 30 lo 40 feet In height. Except where forest fires had invaded portions of the area-, the plantings proved com t^fg^y profitable. ; . Feeding Calves ; A small amount of grain and hay Should be offered to the calf vhen about two weeks of age or when skim-, milk Is substituted for whole milk. This should be gradually Increased tin til the animal is receiving about three pounds of grain a day at six months of age when the calf should he weaned The grain will then be further in creased to provide necessary nutrients formerly stlpplied by the milk. How to Figure Immigration Quota Congress, in enacting the national origins law, fixed an arbitrary limit of 150,000. That number was to be dh tri billed' among the European .court tries according to a complex ratio, based upon the total number of immigrants and their descendants from the beginning of governmental records arelated to the total population at th< time of the 1920 census. What tii< share of each country was to IKS W»- deterniined by a careful analysis c the lirst census of 1790, the records c>* Immigration since 1820, and estimateof the number of descendants both oi the population recorded In 1790 an-1 of subsequent arrivals. A provision was included In the law that no coun try should have a quota less thau HK> This raised the final quota figure t« 154,714, or slightly in excess of th.- maximum alined at! How Hand'hakiw In ancient times the right hand was the'weapon hand. It was extended empty to signify friendliness and show ahseuce of Weapons. This developed Into the handshake, the supposition being that while the right (the weap on) hands were clasped, a treacheroinblow could not be struck. An inter esting exception -to--this is found In the Bible, Judges 3:15 21, .while th. handclasp as a covenant of friendship is shown in II Kings 10-:15. Both tin Greeks and Komans practiced shak ing hands. Ground or Whole Grain There Is no advantage In grinding grain for young calves, according to xperlments recently finished at Pur ue university. Ten calves were raised :o an age of six months on whole grain and ten more were fed on ground >»rains of the same kind. At the end ,>f the experiment one lot had gained !ust about the same amount as the other.

How Truffles Are Grown) I Where They Thrive Best Truffles range from the size of a filbert to that of a potato. Although *hite truffles are somewhat in demand, It is the black or queen truffles of England and France which are In most demand, those of Perigqrd being considered the finest. These are of varying size, and" have a gray or sealbrown or nearly black skin, which is pebbled, or warty, with small angular protuberances. The firm interior, with such a texture as has an immature puff-ball. Is dark brown, somewhat mottled by reason of its chambered structure, and reticulated with the white films of hyphae. Truffles are practically never col tlvated In spite of various attempts. They thrive best |n limestone soils, and !n such light, moist, but well-drained woodlands as ar<T frequented by the various fjpecies of trees near whieli the truffles prefer to exist--,posslbly eto their decaying roots. • The tubers nrfc entirely subterranean, occurring either deep in the ground or close to the, surface,' ripen In winter and are dbg out, either laboriously by unaided1 man with a shar]p spud or by th^ aid <' dogs and pigs. , V Egyptians,Had Censor*' Inscriptions carved on the Watts of Egypt's temples were often subjected to official censorship before completion. snys an Egyptoloplst Eight-Year-Old Piano Virtuoso ' • ,-r * t' * ' 'M Ituth Sleno7.ynski, only eight years old, Is said to be the youngest piano-.: ^virtuoso since Mozart.
