Like a modem Frankenstein, the government is gradually sweeping
the picturesque hillbilly from his mountain home in the Missouri
Ozarks to extinction. His passing is the result of the federal govern-,
ment's plan to establish a series of natural parks comprising 8,000,-'
000 acres in 23 Missouri counties. ;More than 64,000 hillbillies will
be moved to other sections, nearer centers of civilization, where their
unique habits and customs will inevitably change .with their new
environment. '
Chinch Bug
Threat V anes in
the Cora Belt
Iowa is Still Facing Serious Invasion
fcnt Only Four Counties in Ne
braska are Affected.
Des Moines, May 1C. Corn belt
entomologists took stock of this year's
threatened chinch bug invasion today
and most oi them found cause for
cheer.
A survey of midwestern states dis
closed the impending march of the
insects gives rise to no serious cause
for alarm in most states.
The bugs appear to be concentrated
largely in Iowa Illinois, and Missouri
where, despite heavy rains, entomolo
gists declared the threat is nothing to
be passed off lightly.
Kansas entomologists said the out
look there did not appear to be alarm
ing. Nebraska Lucky
E. L. Chambers, Wisconsin ento
mologist, said farmers will have a
little trouble along the Illinois and
Iowa border.
In Nebraska Entomologist O. S.
Bare found bugs in only four coun
ties. He said the infestation probably
will be less than at any time since
1923.

nois, Iowa and Missouri. Prof. George
D. Jones, Missouri college entomolo
gist, said the outlock in Missouri is
as serious as last year.
Heavy rains in Illinois have been
practically worthless in destroying
the perts, W. P. Flint, entomologist
for the Illinois natural history sur
vey, reported.
Icwa Forms "Army"
Iowa officials Thursday marshaled
a chinch bug fighting organization.
A "Four-M" chinch bug control com
mittee was formed. Letters were sent
to county t gents designating them as
county leaders and requesting them
to appoint county chinch bug com
mittees. State Entomologist Dr. C. J. Drake
said Iowa hopes to receive a million
dollars cf the pending $2,500,000
chinch bug appropriation. About two-
thirds of the state is infested, he said
The bugs are concentrated in the
eastern counties.
Recent rains have only delayed the
bugs spring march to the fields, Dr.
! Drake asserted. A white fungus
disease, natural enemy of the chinch
bug, has developed slowly, he said,
the weather being too cold.

Cows that Do
Not Pay Their
Way are Sold
Good Time to Sell, Says Lancaster
Dairy Eerd Tester Seme Show
Loss of Nearly $1 a Head
Total co3t of feed for cows in the
Lancaster dairy herd improvement as
sociation, made up of dairymen resid
ing in the vicinity of Lincoln, was
$9.3S per cow during March, the
tester reported, leaving a profit of
$2.34 over feed cost. It took 34 cents
worth of feed tc produce a pound of
fat.
Two herds on good (dry) feed
averaged 35 pounds of fat and show
ed a profit of J 4 per cow over feed
cost. Two others, which are produc
ing about 60 per cent of normal, aver
aged less than 20 pounds fat, and a
ioss of almost $1 a head. A number
of cows have been sold on the open
market for from $4.0 to $6 a cwt.
It seems as though this is an oppor
tune time to sell such cows a3 cannot
pay for their feed even when feed
prices are much lower.
The G10 cows on test averaged 609
pounds of milk, 27.2 pounds fat. The
value of this fat was 5 11.72.
The average per cow feed consump
tion was 4 0' lbs. silage, 334 lbs. al
falfa hay, S2 lbs. fodder, S3 lbs. corn
and ccb meal, 30 lbs. corn, 13 lbs.
bran, 2 lbs. cottonseed meals and 37
lbs. commercially mixed feeds. Be
sides, the cows were on pasture on an
average of seven days.
A Jersey owned by Ccn Heckling
was high fat cow in March. Her pro
duction was 1.16S pounds milk, 65.4
pounds fat. A Guernsey owned by
E. Buhrmann stood second with 1,479
pounds milk, 57. S pounds fat. A Hol
Holstein owned by C. Peterson had
the most milk and the highest Hol
stein fat production with 1.73C
pounds milk, 57.2 pounds fat.
Walnut Springs Jersey Farm had
one registered cow finish a year's rec
ord of 11,074 pounds milk, 543 pounl3
fat, and another registered cow fin
ished a record cf 7,82 4 pounds milk,
503 pounds fat. Otto Docker had a
Holstein cow make 15,432 pounds of
milk and 534 pounds fat. A regis
tered Jersey owned by Roy II. Stein
hausen made 11,122 pounds of milk
and C01 pounds fat.
FIND STICKS OF DYNAMITE
Chicago. Eighty-sevten sticks of
dynamite, enough to have blown the
building to pieces, were found in a
closet in a lodge hall, scene of scores
of parties, club meetings and one
furious gun battle between police
and racketeers. The explosive was
wrapped in a newspaper dated Sept.
18, 1926, and had evidently lain un
disturbed and unnoticed for nearly
nine years. It was badly disinteg
rated, and doubly dangerous, capable
of exploding at the slightest jar or
friction.
The building where the dynamite
was found is Occidental hall cn the
city's west side. Jack Michaels, jani
tor, uncovered it. Nine years ago the
hall was the headquarters of the tire
and rubber workers' union. Three
racketeers were shot down there by
police Dec. 27, 1929.
PAE0LE OF PELL EEV0KED
Gering, Neb., May 16. District

parole granted Alex Peil, 26, of Ger
ing, in January, 1934, after he had

injured fatally. Peil was sentenced
to one year in the state reformatory.
McDaniel was struck while he was
walking on the highway between Ger
ing and SccttsbluIT. Peil, arrested on
May 10, was charged with driving a
car while intoxicated. This Judge Ir
win held wa3 a violation of his parole

THREE EI0TEES KILLED
Lcuca, Italy. Three rioters were

most Italian Adriatic coast, in a
clash Friday between police and pro
testing stockholders of a local agrar
ian co-operative society known as
