Chinch Bug Destruction Experiment by Prof Johnson
Champaign educator Prof G W Johnson demonstrated a chinch bug control method on William Quads’s corn using a coal oil and hot water soap spray and coal tar barriers. He showed a two gallon hot water mix with one pound soap and two gallons coal oil, diluted with water, killing bugs on corn without harm. After a rain, coal tar was used to create barrier lines along ditches. bugs touched tar and fell into dug holes then covered with dirt. A lecture drew large farmer attendance and spurred many to apply the technique, while some farmers without bottom-land corn failed to act. The piece advocates legislative action to require farmers to kill chinch bugs.
