HOWARD COLLINS, Clothier. To Burn Up Chinch Bugs! Topeka, Nov. II. Governor Hodges issued a proclamation today fixing the last two weeks of this month and the first two weeks of December as the time for the general burning of the winter quarters of the chinch bugs. He called upon all farmers and farm organizations throught the state to cooperate.

It was estimated last spring that the chinch bugs caused not less than 3 million dollars damage to the crops of the state and most of that loss could have been avoided by the burning of trash and bunch grass in which the bugs hibernate. The university and agricultural college etomologists say that burning the grass and trash now will save particularly the, entire loss from bugs next ytar and that is the only way to eradicate the bugs. The governor was asked to issue the proclamation by the entomologists and several farm organizations. In the proclamation the governor said in part: I do hereby designate and appoint the last two weeks of November and the first two weeks of December as 'Chinch Bug Burning' weeks, and call upon every farmer, every land owner, every tenant, every road overseer and every local organization to co-oprate in the burning of bunch grass and bluestem along roadsides and ravines and waste places, according to the plan- worked out by our state experts.
