Chinch Bugs in Corn
With the harvesting of the wheat,
the chinch bugs, which have been in
festing the small grain, are moving
over into the greener corn fields, and
along the side of corn fields where
small grain has been cut, the bugs
have shown up in large numbers in
the corn, being already advanced a
number of rows into the field. A good
method of preventing this would have
been. with gas tar and cyanide, but
after they have started to advance in
the corn field it is a real problem to
know what to do to get rid of the
pests. Gust Woitzel has a large num
ber now in his "torn, and in some in
stances a half dozen rows are affect
ed already. -

mer school.. Mr. Peters was well
pleased with the west and found it
looking well, especially along the
North Platte, the South Platte terri
tory not being so good, and in places
was pretty well dried up. The up
land between the two forks of the
Platte river is very well favored and
tho wheat there will make as much
as forty bushels to the acre; which
is a good yield. Mr. Peters is in the
grain business and is much interest
ed in this line. He was talking to a
large elevator operator at Chappel,
whjo said he expected to handle as
much as a million and a half bushels
of wheat this season.

Q MAN NOW IN C0NTE0L
Several days ago New York finan
cial dispatches carried the news that
Arthur Curtiss James had secured
"working control" of the Western
Pacific railroad, displacaing Alvln W.
Krech as chairman of the board.
Krech represented the Missouri Paci
fic interests. James is a director of
the Burlington railroad, having been
on the board for the past two years.
Mr. James has been on the lines west
of the Burlington, having made at
least one inspection trip over the
road.
News of the purchase by Mr. James
of "working control" of the Western
Pacific and his placement as chair
man of the board of directors, was
received with much interest by Bur
lington men on the lines west, where
a close Avorking coast connection
would be most noticed in tariff hand
led. In announcing his purchase Mr.
James contented himself with say
ing that he had purchased an in
terest in the Western Pacific because
he believed in the property and the
territory it serves.
With the signing of the Watson
Parker bill by President Coolidge, the
railroad labor board was abolished
and a new system inaugurated, pro
viding for establishment of confer
ence groups and adjustment boards
within the Industry, and creation of
a board of meditation, whose five
memvers are to be appointed by the
president.
The new plan provides for self
government within the industry in
labor matters, and is hailed by rail
roads and railway labor unions as a
treaty of peace. The act expressly
stipulates that powers of Interstate
Commerce Commission are unimpair
ed to fix rates under present law.
In' signing the bill, President Cool
idge said: ,
We should give every encourage
ment to industry, to create within
itself sifTr" a relationship and such i
machinery of adjustment between its j
employers and employes as will give
the public continuous and efficients
service, and to accomplish these re-'
lations within itself, without the in-1
tervention of the government.
"The railways, by undertaking this
self-government, ha?e not in the
smallest fashion relieved themselves
j of their -responsibility to the public
at large but rather, they have in
creased their responsibility by virtue
of the self-government which this
act imposes upon them." i
