Illinois Corn Faces Chinch Bug Threat
Illinois could suffer the worst chinch bug infestation in 46 years affecting nine million acres of corn if wet weather does not arrive. W. P. Flint warns cold winter frost spared few pests and urges immediate steps: burn winter hibernating sites and plant chinch-bug resistant corn varieties. Barrier methods may be needed later to block pest migration.

Illinois Farmers Expected to Profit as Feed Costs Rise
E. T. Robbins of the University of Illinois predicts farmers will profit from higher costs by raising horses less and aging the herd. He notes only 742,000 farm horses remain in Illinois, about 57 percent of 12 years ago, and that breeding must rebound to sustain numbers. Prices are rising, and declines in work horse numbers are seen as likely in the near term.
